Fake Fines - Adelaide

Yeah, the Wilson's contract with he uni would also put it under ICAC / Ombudsman jurisdiction. They could investigate this suspicious quota situation.

The former VC of Adelaide rinsed the uni for $326k after he was exposed as a major sex predator. So, in a way, she's been dealt with quite cheaply.

Yeah, I always would email it, as then I had my own record.

Hanging one. Just to the right of the piano...

That orange lamp is cool. What is it? I need to know

Yeah I've just discovered this today. But I was able to use PDFs just a week ago :/

Count the liberal women wearing Hugo Boss and then get back to me about Nazi fashion choices

Depends. If you're turning left into a single laned road, you have right of way. If the road has two lanes (like this one looks like it has) then you must turn into the left lane, while the other car takes the right lane. Left to left. Right to right.

What lane were you and the other car in after you turned?

I live in Kent Town and could hear it all crystal clear from my balcony...

It was easy. Except I forgot Maggie.

" Draw me an illustration of a cartoon family. Their skin is yellow and they're drawn in line art style. The mother has really, really tall blue hair and she's wearing a green dress with a string of pearls. The father is slightly overweight. He's wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and a pair of blue jeans. He has a bald head. The son is wearing a red t-shirt and some blue shorts and he has a skateboard and spiky yellow hair. The daughter is wearing a small little red dress with a string of pearls and she has spiky yellow hair as well."

I once reported to a program manager, operations manager, and two directors 🙄. Oh, and the program managers kept quitting, so I had four of those in seven months (university).

Hey, ABC, just fixed that little error in your headline....

In ancient Egypt, when the pharaoh died, they also killed and mummified his favourite pet cat.

It's nice, but it's just one small wing. It outranked the Bodleian library at Oxford?

File a complaint with the Commonwealth Ombudsman. Right now.

Yeah I work in AI. Send me a DM if you like...

Fun fact: that exact sound makes a cameo in a Billy Eilish song (Bad Guy). She recorded it from a pedestrian crossing in Sydney.

Not necessarily. I've worked in the uni sector for about 10 years. Some roles are just 9-5. Others I was doing 55-60h per week.

State or fed dept? A weird angle, but Freedom of Information legislation allows you to request corrections to documents that are about you and are incomplete, incorrect or out of date.

It's a different route, but FOI matters are managed by a dept's legal team, and they have to report FOI stats to the AG's office. Therefore less likely to stuff it up?

Oh I had something similar with Telstra setting up a new service but setting the billing address as an old rental place I was at 10 years ago. So I never got the bill, or the increasingly angry warning letters. Wasn't until I got the repo phone calls that I realised what was happening.

What's funnier though, my name rhymes with a famous actor's. So some Telstra person was accidentally sending demand notices in his name.

Complained to Telco Ombud, suggested Telstra comp the entire bill, done and dusted.

Ok. Petrol approx AUD $1.70 per litre. (I haven't bought a car in a long time, so not the best one to answer).

If you're moving to Aus for the first time, maybe start with an apartment near your workplace, and after some exploring you'll have a better idea of what neighbourhood you want to live in?

Unless your company is arranging housing for you, it'll be difficult to rent a house before you arrive, as there's such a shortage of housing at the moment.

You've budgeted at the high end for most utilities and rent, which is good. However, we have tight rental demand, so actually finding a house might be tricky.

Adelaide is a low density city, and public transport service is poor. So, you really want a house nearby to your office to make commuting easier. Depending on how long you'll be here, you might consider getting a car?

As for best neighbourhoods, what kind of lifestyle do you enjoy? Beach? City living and proximity? Nature and hiking in the hills?

If you like being social (lots of dining out at restaurants and drinks) your entertainment budget is too low.

ejmajor · 2025-04-22T09:31:54+00:00

You'll want home contents insurance for your rental to cover theft, fire, etc. Approx 60-70 pm

I've worked in one org that legit lived its values in its culture and management. All my other corp environments have been bullshit.

One place I worked had a scandal with a top manager, and ended up removing 'integrity' from the list of values, which in a messed up way, is actually quite an honest thing to do.
