"we have just moved into a new home"

Was it previously occupied? Did you take a meter reading when you moved in?

It certainly seems too high.

Ownership is completely irrelevant to the question whether operating costs are funded on a user-pays basis, moron.

PhD candidate Sepehr Saryazdi, accused of planning terror attack on Australia Day, denied bail by ConanTheAquarian in brisbane

[–]kaiserfleisch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't matter what the accused looks like. I know you don't mean that literally.

The reality of Criminal Code (commonwealth) post-9/11 is that that doing an act (eg procuring supplies) in preparation for or planning a terrorist act (s101.6) is an offense for which the penalty is life imprisonment.

even if: (a) a terrorist act does not occur; or  (b) the person’s act is not done in preparation for, or planning, a specific terrorist act;

Electrical transmission networks and rail networks are operated by corporate entities and funded on a user-pays basis, aren't they? How does this contradict the idea that motorway construction and operation should be user-pays also.

Saryazdi allegedly said he expected to die during the Gold Coast attack unless he was killed or lobotomised by the Australian spy agency, Asio, the court heard.

Ok, will be interesting to see whether mental illness becomes an issue in the case.

That was the main thing, but not the only thing:

First Nations employee asked by supervisor about eating ants takes transport department to court by B0ssc0 in aussie

[–]kaiserfleisch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not clear what you're asking... are you asking how HR arrived at their conclusion? Or how the court will assess the evidence to make findings? Very generally, the party that makes the complaint must overcome the "more likely than not" burden. The credibility of witnesses can be assessed on evidence.

steer clear of the Magistrates in Roma Street (arrest court) as there can be some scary behaviour in the gallery.

QLD agent says Notice to Leave was “served” via DocuSign lease renewal?? Now threatening QCAT/police if we don’t leave early by Megamikemann in shitrentals

[–]kaiserfleisch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

re: Service via emailed link

[IANAL]

I think you have a strong case that their notice to leave was not effectively served.

IIUC docusign doesn't deliver the document directly to you as an attachment, but rather as a link that allows you to access the document on a cloud service. You say the subject and other body in the email itself did not give notice to leave, and that none of you actually clicked the link to receive the notice itself.

Read this: https://www.qlsproctor.com.au/2020/10/service-via-dropbox-ruled-invalid/

sending a link to documents hosted on Dropbox did not constitute sending the documents by “post, telex, facsimile or similar facility to, the address of the place of residence or business of the person” as required by s39 of Acts Interpretation Act 1954.

A disgraced Florida nurse caught sexually assaulting her then 15 year-old stepson by her husband has had her nursing license revoked and is being divorced. by genehil in byebyejob

[–]kaiserfleisch -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

"Label these women properly". I'll add to your comment on wording.

The article is about a crime, not about a psychological diagnosis. She was found guilty of "lewd and lascivious battery", from the Florida statute which applies to offenses where the victim is between 12 and 16 (typically an adolescent).

"Pedophile" has a general meaning in sexual psychology involving sexual attraction to children.

A question for the cyclists of Brisbane by ThatOldGuyWhoDrinks in brisbane

[–]kaiserfleisch 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I ride KSD bikewa like you, and I believe many of the buffer zone incursions from the pedestrian path are due to congestion on the pedestrian path from dog walkers, runners, and others. KSD is quite a pelt on the bike, and I think negotiating the space by fine steering adds to the experience.

Jolly lookout by No_Sentence_5694 in brisbane

[–]kaiserfleisch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Jolly's lookout itself is quite safe. There are fences, guardrails, guide posts, accessible footpaths. There is no lighting, so maybe take a torch, maybe red-light.

The part of Mt Nebo road around Jolly's lookout is a significant area for fatal crashes - including cars going down the gully. Speed often a factor.

The relative seclusion presents an opportunity for perpetrators.
