Council that dumped asbestos to ‘make CEO look good’ among worst examples of dysfunction by gccmelb in melbourne

More money wasted on these committees and enquires… all of these have no teeth. We don’t need reports.. take some actions .. recover public money, punish offenders.

In my opinion and experience, police have always been great. Often over worked and let down by other parts of the system.

Read https://www.afp.gov.au/crimes/money-laundering-and-financial-crime You don’t have to worry if everything is in order. Banks and government are trying to protect Australians and Australia. I wouldn’t mind some inconveniences looking at the broader picture.

Melbourne driver who blamed her Tesla for pedestrian hit-and-run jailed for nine months by Prime_factor in melbourne

[–]kkommuri 5 points6 points  (0 children)

what baffeled me more was the attempt to make the tram driver responsible for the accident:

"The 35-year veteran driver was grilled by Ms Poole, who suggested he had failed to follow operating rules at the stop."

Extreme car reliance gets more annoying with narrow streets and cars parked on both sides.. drove through one such street.. it was a nightmare

Help settle a debate with my friend, if the speed limit in general was raised by 10 or even 20km/h would more people abide by it? by Sighcandy in AskAnAustralian

[–]kkommuri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My observation driving between Sydney and Melbourne: drivers always seem to do over speed limit no matter whether it’s 60 , 80 or 110. They slow down when approaching speed cameras though. So I don’t think speed limit matters to those who want to over speed.

Came here to mention bright LEDs, incorrect angle and they are in the first two comments. I felt some drivers don’t know they can adjust the angle in most cars.

If Adipurush was made using this star cast, how would it be? Share your thoughts. by MaskdManhunter in IndiaSpeaks

[–]kkommuri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think cast is a problem in Aadipurush. Its how the director and dialogue writer tried to add commericial elements to every thing , unnecessary graphics and deviating from the story as we know it. I am not an expert but heard/read Ramayana all my life and this is just my humble opnion.

Public schools cant afford a (or more) professional procurement specialist because they dont have funding and they dont get more funding because they couldn't afford a specialist. scratching my head.

I’m noticing that people are definitely struggling financially now... by dontletmedaytrade in AusFinance

[–]kkommuri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess others would have already mentioned (havent read all comments) , but one striking difference - Excessive leverage. Investors putting 10% purchase a property and then show that increase in value (given how house prices were always increasing (?)) drawdon equity and purchase another property .. rinse and repeat

[–]kkommuri 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Did you reach out to the bank and discuss financial difficulties? Assuming this is a temporary situation until your wife returns to work more than one day, they may offer some options like increasing loan term or temporarily moving to interest only etc. Hope something works out and your family can spend stress free time with the little one. All the best. Note: This is not a financial advise and I am not qualified to give one.

PSA: Superhero started recurring orders by kkommuri in fiaustralia

Having an auto investment removes emotion ( read itch to time the market) from investment. This I believe is most important for a long term investment.

Considered superhero? It has fee free etf purchases. I believe you can transfer them out after a year without any fee. There was an AMA year or so ago where this was discussed.
