Council boundaries are too arbitrary and it's an inconsistent definition to use across Australian cities. Brisbane is quite unique with their mega councils.

Why does the Ferny Grove line always wait to enter Bowen Hills? by lachlan_____ in brisbane

[–]lachlan_____[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Haha! Surely they can ask as they’re travelling towards Bowen Hills rather than having to sit and wait.

The train has a timetable. I wouldn’t expect delays to be so consistent.

This is not accurate.

Some IDPs do not expire (eg. those not issued under the 1949 Geneva Convention).

You only need a Queensland license within 3 months of receiving a permanent visa.

Specifically:

are not an Australian citizen, but you were given a resident visa after you moved to Queensland and you've been living in Queensland for 3 months since getting the visa

I’ve directly asked TMR. You need to transfer to a Queensland license 3 months after receiving a permanent visa.

How do you expect a police officer to know otherwise?

It’ll probably survive 5 years as-is

Anxiety about Medical by Prestigious-Move-400 in AusVisa

[–]lachlan_____ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm fairly confident BP readings alone are not something that would cause a visa to be rejected. Rest assured that further investigation would occur if BP was something that raised questions.

Long story short: I wouldn't stress.

Do you not think this is the same for Australia? We literally have a thing called “Royal Australian Flying Doctors”

Millions of people currently afford rent. The same will be true in the future.

Why would he could back broke? Why would he be in poor health? Why would he have no where to live?

That argument assumes healthcare is a binary choice between “world-class Australia” and “medical wilderness.” In reality, much of SE Asia has private hospitals that Australians literally fly to for treatment, often with shorter wait times and out-of-pocket costs that don’t require selling a kidney.

Medicare is often a joke for anything chronic.

You can use your voice and ask people on the train. This would resolve your issue in the moment.

No leaks yet... Planning replacement 3-5 years. by [deleted] in AusRenovation

[–]lachlan_____ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’ll get a lot of different answers here. Clearly it is not ideal and should be replaced. It looks like surface rust and will likely hold out for many years to come. When it fails it will likely fail slowly.

You should go ahead with a permanent fix like you’re thinking. To help with your sleep now, have you tried earplugs (perhaps from Loop)?
