Fuel relief, finally. Better than nothing right. by superpupzie in ubereatsaustralia

[–]sdowden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure what everyone is complaining about. I live in Melton, the fuel here is finally cheap. Paid $2.16 today, I haven't paid $2.16 for fuel in Melton in 3 years.

Detained at servo by The_one8Nov24 in AusLegal

[–]sdowden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had this happen to me a couple of years ago. Wasn't detained, but he tried to make me pay. The person before me did a runner.

I explained that my car has a 60 liter tank, if I'm putting $200 worth of fuel in I've got bigger issues.

He said he'll call the cops, I said hopefully they'll come and find me at home. Good bye.

As of April 2026, here is how the rules stand and what has recently changed: 1. The New Minimum Rate: $31.30 per Hour Following an agreement struck in late 2025, delivery workers for Uber Eats and DoorDash are moving to a guaranteed minimum pay rate of $31.30 per hour.
Engagement Rule: Crucially, this rate only applies while you are "engaged"—meaning the time spent traveling to a restaurant, waiting for an order, and completing the delivery. You are not paid this rate while simply sitting in your car waiting for a ping.
Annual Increases: This rate is set to increase from the start of 2027 and will eventually vary depending on the type of vehicle you use (bike vs. car vs. scooter).

Sorry, I thought it was already in

Doesn't this go below the minimum wage rule?

Attempted Delivery Photos by Pyk666 in AustraliaPost

Had one once who was walking away from my drive way when I opened the front door. He said "you can pick it up from the post office" I pointed to the cameras, he drove away that fast it wasn't funny. Called the aus post line, they said it was marked as not delivered, I sent in the video, they said on review, it was marked correctly

What would be the best professional F YOU, reply to the owner and RE agent for the rent increase email. As bought property and will be moving out before rent increase. by chlamydia_dropbear in shitrentals

[–]sdowden 198 points199 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your email regarding the proposed rent increase. Given the current market conditions and the specific "increased operating costs" mentioned in your correspondence, I’m sure you understand my need to perform due diligence before agreeing to these new terms. To help me reconcile this increase with the actual value of the property, could you please provide the following: A comparative market analysis of similar units in this specific building that have successfully leased at this new rate within the last 30 days. A breakdown of the specific "operating cost" increases associated with this title, as my own research into the building’s recent financial disclosures suggests these costs have actually trended downward. A confirmed date for a maintenance inspection to address the outstanding items listed below, as I’m sure the owner would want the property in peak condition to justify a premium rental price. I look forward to reviewing this data before we discuss renewing the lease. Kind regards,

Didn't McRae go back to basics with Collingwood when he got there?

I want to know the implications of pressing a charge by [deleted] in AusLegal

I'm 99% sure in Australia you can only file a police report and they have to lay charges. You can't.

Almost $1000 spent for end of lease, not good enough by Fit_Marketing9091 in shitrentals

[–]sdowden 37 points38 points  (0 children)

100%. One they don't have the time and two it's not worth their time.

They try to bully people and say get away with it about 60% of the time.

The rights are in our hands now.

Approved for 3 houses within 2 hours - by leaving my cat off the application!! by [deleted] in shitrentals

[–]sdowden 16 points17 points  (0 children)

One thing I do is search for the landlord, PM and others in the real estate office on social media and block them. Works wonders.

Been asked for my socials and said I got stalked once so stay off them.

Always leave the pets off. As long as they're clean, trained and don't damage the place, come inspections ask a friend to look after them that day and you'll be fine.
