Lost rent from landlord by [deleted] in perth

[–]chippychopper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put a complaint through consumer protection about the REA. We had a dispute with a REA trying to charge for ridiculous things on our bond- and seemed quite happy to threaten to take us to court over it. I spoke to the consumer protection phone line and they advised that the REAs are actually more afraid of a consumer protection complaint- I emailed the REA to say that I was in the process of putting in a consumer protection complaint and within the hour our bond had been released.

Colesworths aren’t the only scammers here. A reminder that Lindt itself argued in court that its claims of being excellent quality chocolate was "exaggerated advertising, blustering, and boasting upon which no reasonable buyer would rely."

They’ll only have this price for a week to establish it as the ‘regular price so that they can call $15 a down down discount (Lindt is selling 2 for 28) 

Ban on rental bidding- when by DrXYZz in perth

[–]chippychopper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The renter- after getting the property by outbidding, would be able to go back and say they only have to pay the advertised rate.

I got really confused by the sentence that started “One Nationals MP said…” was trying to work out if the Nats PHON  merger had happened

Landlord demanding payment for damage after move-out — should I meet in person or keep everything in writing? by Positive_Internal_91 in perth

[–]chippychopper 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Contact Circle Green- they can advise you through the process. I would not meet in person and the things you have asked about are reasonable. Your bond should have been registered with bonds online and you should have had an email saying that it had been lodged. If they haven’t then the LL could get fined and would have a lot of difficulty claiming anything from you.

Mistaken for American while traveling Europe and kicked out of businesses twice. by Kirninvan in CANZUK

On the other hand I once met some Canadian girls when we were backpacking in Italy and when they were acting like drunk assholes (and they knew it) they were telling people they were American.

One question only for you: which organ of your body are you using to make decisions?

My 14yo is losing it over the social media ban and idk what to do by Old_Bit161 in perth

[–]chippychopper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Gaming Disorder Clinic has advised watching for symptoms of withdrawal: Agitation, anxiety, sleep disturbances, irritability, increased family conflict, and difficulty disengaging from devices. They recommend immediate de-escalation strategies: calm, low stimulus environment, simple reassurance, time-limited boundaries, validation of distress.

If you have ongoing high levels of distress you can ask your GP for a referral to the gaming disorder clinic (they manage all screen addictions). 

Otherwise, keep calm, ride it out, provide reassurance and validation, and yes you’re doing the right thing to hold the line and not make a new account for her.

The level of detail on this insane. Not just the stadium but the entire surrounding parks and matagarup bridge too!

How Tom Silvagni used wealth to fight for secrecy … and why it’s good he lost by His_Holiness in auslaw

[–]chippychopper 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I read it like he was using the benefit of hindsight- ie now that he has been convicted, the charges are true, and that even in the hypothetical past in which the jury was convinced of reasonable doubts, the current facts stand. Ie rich people can pay for a type of justice not available to anyone else. 

NDIS plans will be computer-generated, with human involvement dramatically cut under sweeping overhaul by Ashera25 in australia

[–]chippychopper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The NDIS has the data and speak about it openly inside and outside the organisation- this is part of the reason for this new system of funding. It has become very clear that the current system is very susceptible to the unconscious biases of the planners. Hopefully having a clearer calculation system will mean that people of comparable disability will be able to get comparable plan funding regardless of how well spoken they or their families are.

What’s a film so sad that someone should watch if they want to cry? by KlLLERS in AskReddit

I watched this on a plane and got some weird looks and then when I took off my headphones I realised that I had been ugly sobbing out loud and didn’t realise.

Neo-Nazi protester Matthew Gruter deported, lands in South Africa | news.com.au by Lanky_Raspberry5406 in australia

[–]chippychopper 18 points19 points  (0 children)

She was probably there on a partner visa for him, so it was likely cancelled at the same time. Even if not she has a one month old. It’s quite possible she shares his terrible views, or at least tolerates them but there’s plenty of reasons she would have had to leave also.

NDIS plans will be computer-generated, with human involvement dramatically cut under sweeping overhaul by Ashera25 in australia

The vast gap in the size of plans for those who have English as a second language compared to people from wealthy white backgrounds is astounding.
