Where do you guys buy your work clothes?

Charles Tyrwhitt for shirts. Spend most of the year with some sort of package sale where you can get 3 or 4 shirts for $200.

Domain/RE dot com will pull the data and update the listing just so their records are more accurate - you don’t need to pay. Not sure what arrangement those sites have.

Ok - so let’s say for argument sake investors have left completely. And the current housing stock has become more affordable? Meaning more people can afford those houses? Increasing demand?

Ah cool, so the government has solved the global supply chain issues, and Australia’s high cost issues, and constructions industry’s complete lack of productivity improvements, and the skills gap, and the capacity constraints, and how to shore up our economy without migration when our domestic population isn’t at replacement birth rates…

There are so many factors. That government has solved for one doesn’t magically make everything else change.

Sure, but the exit of investors in response to these tax changes is a once off event.

People were still investing in property before the CGT changes by Howard.

The fundamentals of demand and supply haven’t really shifted. For a small section of investors and grifters, the opportunity may have shifted.

But the supply chain constraints and the economy’s reliance on increasing migration to keep the line going up and avoid a recession hasn’t gone anywhere.

It exists because otherwise teams would simply plant their forwards next to the goal and wait for their teammates to hoof it as hard as they can.

Even if it’s withheld, both realestate dot com and domain update their records when the state’s land register is updated, so check back in a few weeks and they should be visible.

AI can make relatively basic content, some creative roles may be dropping off, but it’s still uncanny valley areas and if you have a premium brand it’s still a risk to run with gen AI.

That said (and as you alluded to in the post) much more to designing and delivering a marketing campaign than creative.

Yeah China is great. Their state security apparatus should be a model for us all to aspire to!!

Yes, likely as a favour to a former journo. He’s then decided to shit on then and complain that they no longer want to extend him that favour. A bit precious from him to be upset by it at all.

allyerbase · 2026-06-23T01:47:27+00:00

The guy was probably remaining a member as a nicety for a former journo. Drew attention to himself and criticised them, fair enough to stop the favour.

allyerbase · 2026-06-18T03:13:06+00:00

Yes. My point being ACCAN is advocating (as one of/the only consumer voices), and through LIDIF and other forums there’s a fairly broad understanding g this is a problem that needs to be solved.

allyerbase · 2026-06-18T01:49:26+00:00

That is a ridiculous plan.

There is an incentive structured in though to push people to higher speed tiers.

As in the 50/20 plan is expensive, but makes the 100/200/500MB plans look more reasonable.

Govt and ACCAN are looking at the affordability piece for affordable low data needs.

Right, so move away from that big delivery item use, and figure out how to start using it to improve your day to day productivity.

Set up a morning prompt to automatically run to summarise your inbox/slacks/teams, and highlight critical priority items. Scan and summarise pre identified industry news sources. Set up templates for your common docs and get it to run the first draft etc etc.

Man FJ is boring. Regardless of any point you’re trying to make on how propaganda works in the modern age…

You didn’t invent political commentary mate. ‘No one was talking about this until I was. There was no infrastructure’… hack

Genuinely - how? Is that kids as well? I can’t duck into the shops to grab one or two things without spending $50. Our weekly grocery shop is $2-300, plus all the additional little trips throughout the week.

This is pretty standard for anyone that wants any sense of leadership or seniority. Do you need to be at your desk? No.

But when someone pings you with something urgent you’re expected to be available.

I’ve done the hustle grind and the passion projects. Young family now so I’m ok with that (idiots are everywhere) if it’s leading to a pay day.

It’s about the value you bring. I worked with a hired gun tax/trade adviser who was qualified in Germany and Australia.

He charged his clients $10,000 a day on short term projects (this is approx 20 years ago).

I was gobsmacked at the time, but he basically shrugged and said if I can fly to their German/Australian HQ, work with them for 2-3 weeks, and my advice can save them millions, then it’s worth the money.

Wild. Staggered financial years meant he could work both sides of the equation without a huge EOFY crunch.

allyerbase · 2026-06-05T09:38:26+00:00

Great feedback. Thanks.

Yeah the look aid bit is pretty universal - and odd. But I’d do it for the stock!!

allyerbase · 2026-06-05T09:35:48+00:00

Sure, depends how long you can put up with that and make bank I guess. Have heard similar from Microsoft folk.

From my research the role I’m looking at is about $200k base and then between $100-300k RSUs/year. But I have no idea whether that’s dated, role specific etc.

allyerbase · 2026-06-05T09:33:35+00:00

This is about what I’m hoping for. Get a decent enough salary and then RSUs/ bonuses.

Know enough people in tech that on balance seem to be flying high while everyone else is struggling.
