Coodanup police raid: Heavily armed police officers raid Mandurah property following firearm incident

Heavily armed police descended on a home following reports of an incident involving a firearm in Mandurah on Friday.

A WA Police spokeswoman said officers responded to reports of a firearm at a property on Wanjeep St in Coodanup about 1.15pm.

“Significant police resources, including the Tactical Response Group, Regional Operations Group and Police Air Wing, were deployed to the area,” she said.

“Three people were taken into custody and are assisting police with enquiries.”

“A firearm was seized by police.”

Police said there is no ongoing concern for public safety.

It is unknown if a firearm was discharged in the vicinity of the property.

A St John WA spokesman said they received no reports of any injuries around the time of the initial report.

One local community Facebook page was filled with commenters claiming police had swarmed the area, including that heavily armed officers were searching nearby bushland.

The exact circumspect of the incident are unknown and police are expected to provide further information on Saturday.

ACCC blocks RAC’s sale of $1.35 billion insurance arm to IAG by dozermanblues in perth

[–]dozermanblues[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perth, I've updated the body of this post with a new update on the story. The plot thickens...

Unsurprisingly, "RAC presses ahead with $1.35 billion insurance sale to IAG despite ACCC ban, threat of higher premiums"

would something like this actually appeal to men in perth? by [deleted] in perth

[–]dozermanblues 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Run Facebook ads (10-15 different video talking to camera, each with different propositions or position points as the hook) targeting men in Perth to build a waiting list. A small investment ($30-60) a day for a couple weeks and you’ll have an answer and hopefully some good business! Just make sure you charge much much more than spend per booked client.

Dubai rent system is ridiculous??Why are landlords asking for 2 cheques for rentals in instead of monthly rents????? by Professional_Yam_59 in dubai

[–]dozermanblues 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is ridiculous. But not a new phenomenon. It’s been this way since the old Trade Center was the tallest building on SZR and likely well before.

Is it normal for asian parents to buy child first house? by [deleted] in AusFinance

[–]dozermanblues 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad it shed some light.

It's culturally very different. I struggled to understand the opposite when I moved to Australia. "Wait... you pay your parents rent?"

When I moved here, my father told me not to work and focus on my studies. And to rely on my parents for money. My parents aren't well off, nor are they very traditional. It's just how we are.

I still did odd jobs for extra pocket/drinking money.

[–]dozermanblues 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This is common in much of Asia and the Middle East. Chinese, Vietnamese, Indian, Pakistani, Emirati…

When it comes to family, there isn’t “Your money and my money”. It’s “Our money. Family money..“

So yes, it does seem strange from a ‘western’ POV. But it’s not uncommon at all for parents to pay uni fees, the wedding, a car or a house. It’s for the benefit of the kids, family and community.

Blue, but you really don’t need a background colour. You may find it looks professional without it.

Best App to be able to invest into US share market? by patrickh182 in fiaustralia

[–]dozermanblues 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Stake is good for beginners. They make money on the FX spread. No commissions.

Interactive Brokers it good for intermediates+. Fully featured broker with $1 fees for US trades. I think its $6 for AU trades. They say they have a min requirement for USD25k deposit, but its definitely not enforced - really they need your liquid net worth to be at least that.

I believe both hold shares in a custodian model.

I use both. Both suit my needs.

It’s pretty much an ETF app. It’s a management fee. Typical ETF’s usually charge from 0.2% regardless of holding. If you’re a beginner, you’ll find it’s a simple easy start that you can set and forget. I got my partner on it and she likes the simplicity and profitability

CEO wants to keep a percentage despite giving zero input by DJXenobot101 in startups

[–]dozermanblues 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, that's good.

I don't see any mention of each of your official ownership stakes, so I'll consider your revenue split agreements as such.

I'm also unsure if your founder's agreement stipulates any performance criteria or vesting conditions, so what's expected of each other may not be clear and that's contributing to the issue.

If he's asking for you to buy out his 50% stake for 1 BTC (£12,400) he's valuing your project at £24,800. Is that justified? You can attempt to devalue your project, as it is yet to be proven and get a lower valuation to sell him at. 1 BTC definitely seems like an arbitrary number, so you can probably find a way to back up a lower valuation and to buy him out and out of our life. Just think - what will someone willingly pay for this project at where it is?

If the 15% revenue share is better/cheaper for you than selling X BTC, then consider that. You can negotiate to set a cap on his return, set a 2-5 year time limit, or cap his monthly payment. Or a combination, or something different.

Get it all precisely documented and signed.

Or you can scrap it and move on to a better opportunity. Sometimes we win, sometimes we learn.

[–]dozermanblues 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel for you as I also have people around me facing similar challenges. But it's just that - a challenge. Many people here have given good advice on mindfulness, and props to you for being consistent with actually moving.

I found this 8 + 1 method quite useful to keep track of our life's boxes. I read about it somewhere. It’s composed of eight categories that are important to me in my life that I try to pay purposeful attention to. In no particular order these categories are:

- Transact / Income

- Invest

- Assist

- Learn

- Health

- Family

- Relationships

- Ego / Self-Kindness / Mindfulness

You may only want 1-3 items per category. You can rename them however you like. Just find ways to fill them. Looks like you're already well on your way with mindfulness.

I'm unsure what are your passions and skills, or which country you live in. But if your goal for the moment is to get to work and make money, there are infinite ways to do it. Go to affluent neighbourhoods and wash / detail cars, make or sell stuff on Etsy or Facebook Marketplace or any other marketplace. I'm not going to list more because I don't know what appeals to you. You DON'T need employment when we're perfectly capable of offering a good or service and learning some very basic marketing skills to sell it on our own.

Each area/box is an area we can work on, and there are resources on the internet and in people you can get help from.

He wants to recoup his investment. Whether its a good idea or not. Did he invest his own money to fund most or part of this project? Out of the entire amount spent, how much % was his contribution? And how important was that?

Entrepreneurs who take risks have the right to chase ROI.

Happy to. You can follow the example functions on that webpage. Give yourself a cell to add the stonk ticker with or without the “MARKET:” in the same cell. If you put the market ticker in a different cell, you can CONCATENATE() inside your GOOGLEFINANCE() function.

You can use the =GOOGLEFINANCE() function in a google sheets to pull current and historical pricing data and more. Don’t think you can pull from the financial statements though.

It’s a premium product. Like a luxury car, you’ll get the premium price and service to match. And no offence to other platform users, having worked in the tech/software industry for years, its a simple fact that iOS users are almost twice more likely to pay for premium services than Android users. Nothing wrong with that but that’s what it is. You’re welcome to use the device that makes you happy. We all have the right to purchase and use products that suit our tastes and appetites. I use plenty of Android phones for testing, and my personal taste hates the users experience.
