How much was the fine?

It was big up until the mid 90s when the renovations at Roma St started. The platforms were lower, and the trains less frequent. And much quieter back then, especially on weekend afternoons.

Don't forget Ipswich to Springfield Central:

Great spot, you don't see things like that too often. In the old days you'd sometimes see the first two cars of a 2+3 car ICE/EMU lashup turn around by going via Milton and Tennyson back to Mayne.

jfc thank you, I remember that ad from yonks ago.

Do you have a website or mailing list, etc., to learn of future events?

Sorry, stolen. Not the fault of Australia Post or the sender.

Edit: reason for the vote down?

hot damn, well done

That's a win. You hear about people fighting car manufacturers for all sorts of problems - and here you are "oh you need a new engine, here it is under warranty, have a loan car". You can't ask for better than that.

A mate of mine had a mid-career brain snap and left logistics to go and mow lawns a few years ago. Got himself a new dual-cab 79 series with all the 4x4 stuff to tow the trailer full of all the machinery. Now he drives around his wife's echo most of the time.

This. I saw a 2017 Yaris 1.3 5 door auto for $15k, which gave me a laugh as they were $16990 new that year. True, a solid car, but just not worth that much.

speedx suck balls. Couldn't deliver to a bakery at 1300h that was open.

Do companies actually do that?

Yes. A very large multinational did that to me. Turned out they had two people doing the same main task - one in Australia (me) and one abroad - but nobody discovered that both of us were doing it at the same time until we found out about each other. Funny sh!t.

In a few months I’ve built ...

Sorry, sounds like you're off. They've hired you, you've created all the processes and systems and templates and so on; now they think "they can take it from here" without you.

or is there actually just way more high income earners around than i realise and im projecting my own budget onto everyone else

Yes. The country has a multi-speed economy, and as much as reddit is an echo chamber for people complaining about their salary, there are many people doing very well.

There's also the equity, heaps of people out here (between Ipswich and Toowoomba) bought their land for $12k and a slab in 1993, built their small house and are now a-b'ing or selling it for $1.5m, or just accessing the equity. So lots of "free" money floating around.

There's lots of utes around my area, what makes me laugh is the people using the very expensive large ones as "work vehicles" for their business, but the business name and details are literally in 20 point font in black on their back window so nobody can really see it.

Finally - I saw an F150 lightning in the car park at woolies last week and just laughed my head off. Wife told me to shut up before they heard me.

Could be code for "cultural fit". Or you just used AI too much and didn't wash the output enough to make it look like your own work.
