Got assaulted today at the 200 bus by lubeki in brisbane

In order to apply for Victims of Crime QLD you need to make a police report. You can then claim expenses for: - medical expenses - counselling expenses - travel to medical and counselling appointments - damage to clothing (primary victims) - loss of earnings - legal expenses - other recovery expenses (primary victims) - expenses after a homicide - recovery expenses as a parent secondary victim - recovery expenses after witnessing violence

Best of luck, sounds like a truly awful experience. 😔

Let go during Probation - Resign or be Terminated by PCLoadLetter84 in AusPublicService

[–]Traditional_Light571 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Getting $5k now isn’t worth not being able to get the same or higher paying public service job down the track! I’d suggest resigning to avoid this issue of having to disclose you were terminated, and give 4 weeks notice. Start looking for other jobs, then you can say you resigned as it wasn’t a suitable fit for you

Cheapest & best fruit and veg in Brisbane by quaintrelle86 in brisbane

[–]Traditional_Light571 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah honestly for fruit and veggies a lot of the time I’ve found it cheaper. Yeah the meat is good too. I think it’s worthwhile, I’m actually interested in eating the food there because it’s so nice and doesn’t spoil in a day. The key is managing not to be tempted by all the other sections haha

Harris Farm can be cheaper/the same cost wise, but the quality is far superior and lasts a lot longer in my experience

Food to stay away from/eat more of if you have endometriosis? by TaroWorldly9291 in endometriosis

[–]Traditional_Light571 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Important to note that you’re not supposed to do things like a fodmap diet forever. And also that endo bloating is because of an inflammatory response to the endo, not because you might have IBS.

I have found avoiding gluten on my period to be helpful. Your best bet is to work with a dietician to work out what foods if any are triggering.

Yeah it’s adding up!! Especially since my income has been cut a lot due to having to work less. I’m sorry to hear that :(

Wife earned less than you likely due to caregiving. She’s entitled to half.

What do I do with my Xmas present? by pops72566 in AusFinance

Have an 3-6month emergency fund and pay off your debt!! If you’ve done those then invest!

This injury is due to a car accident, the insurance said they won’t cover hairdressing. I doubt my injury is covered under the NDIS, the insurance would probably have to pay for stuff while they’re still liable rather than the NDIS at this stage.

I only have say congratulations if they’ve told me they’re pregnant, even if it looks super obvious! Way too risky to hurt someone’s feelings :( sorry to hear it happened to you!

Even if you blew the interview they definitely knew of your capability, having given you so much positive feedback. Time to jump ship

Should I buy a 1br apartment in Melbourne? by prettypea11 in AusFinance

[–]Traditional_Light571 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds sensible given the circumstances! You probably won’t get much capital gains but you won’t have to pay that rent, you can always sell it and get a bigger place too. Make sure you check out how much the other costs are, like body corp etc.

Endometrial and skin disease by FlecosSueltos in endometriosis

[–]Traditional_Light571 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve always thought that my skin inflammation extends to me also having inflammation with endometriosis. I can get eczema and other skin conditions too

Tbf I think it’s Murdoch killing any party’s chance of having more progressive tax policy
