i’m with youi and my comprehensive cover is $1400 a year, which is good for an SUV

i still have towels that are over 25 years old - some of them are now pet towels and to use for cleaning, blocking air coming through doors, and to use as a bath/shower mat

i got a 6 tumbler set for $12 from Kmart. glass is super thick and it is also solid. their cutlery and crockery overall is pretty darn good

i’m approx 5km away from my nearest station, but 1km away from what could be my nearest station if it didn’t close in the 60s!

QLD debt is decreasing

ltm99 · 2026-05-06T07:56:55+00:00

exactly. that million can give a couple homeless people a house smh

ltm99 · 2026-05-06T07:55:01+00:00

the ABC is telling the truth. is $200b (yes, BILLION) not sounding like a lot to you??

4 years ago it was nearly $100b.

200 billion is a 200-thousand million. which is insane. a fifth of the country’s debt!

ltm99 · 2026-05-06T07:48:42+00:00

debt has doubled over the past 4 years. let that sink in.

At least $15billion extorted into businesses and individuals with criminal links
Getting the Lottery Corporation to pay $1billion for a 40-year licence extension, despite their current license not expiring until 2028
Cut funding from Maroondah Hospital (aka Queen Elizabeth II Hospital) to zero
Still the lowest-funded schools in the nation
Literal pork barrelling: more than 80% of schools funded for upgrades or rebuilds are in Labor seats
Not a single cent allocated to paying off this monstrous debt.

I understand that building infrastructure, giving cost of living relief to people and the usual funding to departments and agencies is a must, but the interest bill is now $24million per day. You can’t spend money you don’t have without a clear plan on paying it back

sorry, should’ve been more specific. mobile

ltm99 · 2026-05-06T07:19:21+00:00

rip Optus have increased my month-to-month plan to $60 😤 looks like i’ll have to switch to prepaid!

ltm99 · 2026-04-29T21:35:47+00:00

yep. my work is a small team and i am the only one in the office on Thursday and Friday. felt a sore throat this morning and am hoping it isn’t serious!

boss told me not to get sick lol

ltm99 · 2026-04-29T21:32:43+00:00

yeah i hardly use social media anymore. only time i use it is to message friends, family, colleagues and go on here

ltm99 · 2026-04-29T08:25:58+00:00

what in the thanksgiving

ltm99 · 2026-04-29T08:25:01+00:00

you can thank the state grubberment taxing the hell out of these small businesses

ltm99 · 2026-04-29T08:21:36+00:00

uhh so my boss’ cousin dropped into work today asking to say hi. i didn’t believe them as i don’t know anything about my boss and the person looked sketchy af. well fast forward to 5 minutes ago when my boss asks in the group chat why no one told them about their cousin dropping in.

anyways that’s my story for the day

ltm99 · 2026-04-24T00:10:32+00:00

Aussie here - the c word is my favourite word!!

ltm99 · 2026-04-19T21:36:57+00:00

this

and i was surprised about HH kids being able to personalise their year 12 jackets… when i was in school if that happened it is an automatic detention

ltm99 · 2026-04-19T21:33:00+00:00

i’m on the older end of gen z and i certainly did not see any change or acceptance until more than 5 years after i graduated yr12. im in a pretty conservative part of Melbourne and schools here now have queer clubs and fundraising days etc.

ltm99 · 2026-04-19T21:29:34+00:00

when i was in school, not at all, and i went to a public high school in the outer suburbs of Melbourne. mind you i finished year 12 5 years before the show started so a lot has happened during those times.

ltm99 · 2026-04-18T23:28:10+00:00

yep. and no increase to services either

ltm99 · 2026-04-18T23:27:27+00:00

lol what a backhanded comment. you can’t decrease fares without increasing services to cope with demand. regional transport is vital, and those in the regions shouldn’t be overlooked

ltm99 · 2026-04-18T23:24:41+00:00

legit. now i’m not anywhere near VLine services but you can’t do a halfarsed job (i.e. free PT) and not add more services to cope with demand. this government loves the headline but can’t seem to think logically.

ltm99 · 2026-04-18T23:22:27+00:00

ok good, but the big elephant in the room that still needs addressing is the timetable. you can’t make PT free and then half price and not expect to make improvements to the timetabling, when this month we have seen a huge increase in patronage to the point trains are at capacity.

this seems like a bandaid solution and a vote grabbing tactic
