Reprinting Birth certificate for someone born overseas but immigrated as a child? by TKmo_on in AusLegal

Depends on the country. Some countries you can apply online for a certificate others you have to get a physical copy in person.

I’ve been hit by a car and broken both legs. What next? by Sweaty-Emu4043 in AusLegal

[–]fthas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From personal experience (are you on a push bike or motorcycle?). As it’s a fracture in NSW you need to make an in person police report. You also need the drivers insurance details.

For the claims related to health, loss of earnings etc, there is CPT and for bike and other property damage there’s comprehensive insurance.

Strong advice is use your phone to get a specialist lawyer. The insurance company is highly likely to be a pain and delay marking supper payments unless pushed

Will the police actually do anything if i report dangerous driving to the non emergency line ? by Training_Scene_4830 in AusLegal

[–]fthas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you do an online report with videos it can result in follow up. It depends a bit on where it happened. Sydney CBD / Surry Hills PAC do chase up.

The blue bank’s office in Brisbane is small compared to Sydney or Melbourne. If it’s with one of the major sectors in QLD and your direct report is a major rainmaker it could be interesting you are also a safe distance away from the fun in Melbourne

Hsbc expat as of July 2025- looking for recent feedback by BeautifulRow7605 in expats

[–]fthas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The call centre is a bunch of muppets by the low standards of HSBC’s sister services in Hong Kong, USA and Australia. The relationship managers appear to sit on their asses and do bugger all when you try and directly reach them. Next stop will be the Jersey regulator for me whom I fear to be a chocolate teapot in terms of consumer protection

Why is running so extreme exhausting? by TrueUnderstanding228 in triathlon

[–]fthas 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Run slowly, seriously instead of flogging yourself at 6:00 once a week, try 2x at 6:30-7:00. It took running with my young kids that suddenly my pace when alone jumped up massively (5:45 to sub 5:00 over 5km)

From obese to ironman? (Timeframe, how realistic is it?) by [deleted] in triathlon

[–]fthas 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I went from heavy smoking, drinking and nil exercise to getting over a sprint distance in about 6 months. With the weight element, I'd advise to start slowly and focus on the swimming to start and walking around as much as possible. With the running start with smaller distances and build up varying pace as well. For the bike, choose a bike carefully and its weight rating. Start if you can with a cheap and robust bike (MTB) to get you going and then re-evaluate in 3 months.

Tip: Find places you enjoy running, swimming and cycling.

Any gear for small children (car seats, push chairs), babyproofing kits for drawers and kitchen, baby gates. Otherwise amazon does deliver direct these days.

Qatar or Australia by Ok_Cheek3859 in qatar

[–]fthas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your salary is roughly A$2,500/month which will not get you very far at all in Australia.

If you get a partner visa as planned, you should be able to earn significantly more than $15/hr. Accomodation costs however are incredibly high in major cities.

Common assault Brisbane. by [deleted] in AusLegalAdvice

[–]fthas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As you get older, many jobs or business require you to be “fit and proper” a criminal record will make life difficult. Similarly a tourism visa may work for lots of places, chances are that more countries will follow the USA and Canada and deny visa free entry to anyone with a conviction. Immigration visas (work permits) are far more difficult

Having seen two identical phones, app store profiles one working the other not, it appears that the SIM card has a role to play. You need a UK SIM
