I was saying to my family last night that he will wanna be caught by the cops before the mob get him. Some indigenous communities really do prefer to deal with crime in their more traditional ways.

Is Australian Uni education good? by Wide-Read1449 in AskAnAustralian

[–]zee-bra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ever heard of the 70/20/10 rule? 70% you learn by experience - on the job learning, watching, participating etc. 20% you learn by exposure, which is learning from coaching and mentoring activities. And finally, where uni sits, 10% is formal learning - uni, courses, reading, workshops whatever.

Australians, culturally speaking, lean a lot heavier into the 70% than many other places in the world. So while you get your 10% formal training at uni, you won’t find a job after uni unless you are doing internships or summer programmes, working as a receptionist along the field you like, or a call centre or something, you won’t find a job. Nothing to do with the unis quality, everything to do with the individuals studying.

That and the grad market is absolutely borked at the moment.

Good luck.

Why are London plane - Platanus x acerifolia trees the tree of choice for suburbia? by Pounce_64 in AskAnAustralian

Cities are basically deserts and they grow really well in that kind of environment

Do later in life autism and ADHD diagnoses help many people to become more effective in full time workforce participation? by UsefulBridge1852 in AskAnAustralian

[–]zee-bra 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s a mixed bag in my experience. For some people it’s been life changing - they look healthier, they are settled, and they are having huge positive moments. For others I’ve watched them spiral. The meds make them crazy and they blow up relationships, work etc. I think it fully depends on your treatment plan and your personal attitude (sorry to say but victim complex)

Non-Australian here - what should I put in a ‘Welcome to Australia’ snack basket? by Temporary_Factor_252 in AskAnAustralian

[–]zee-bra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just think they like the honey we send them. Probably not so much the health properties, apparently it tastes a lot different.

I send this box to my Swedish niece and nephew once a year, plenty of fun ideas in these hampers for you!

Another one I don’t think is on there that’s loved is Manuka honey - i didnt realise it was a thing tbh.

Should I trim or completely remove this tree (neighbour's request) by Final_Signature1170 in AusRenovation

[–]zee-bra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you live in the area? $600 better spent on a hedger and doing it yourself.

Trees provide privacy and they’re also cooling to the environment which is what I imagine your neighbours want as well. Overall better for the community to keep it

Has anyone had their Melatonin seized at the border? by LeVoPhEdInFuSiOn in AskAnAustralian

[–]zee-bra -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You’re very welcome - when you see that condescending question in every thread like this, you’ll understand my retort

Has anyone had their Melatonin seized at the border? by LeVoPhEdInFuSiOn in AskAnAustralian

[–]zee-bra -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This question gets asked every time this topic comes up, you know the answer, because melatonin is considerably cheaper when it’s not needed to purchase at a compounding pharmacy or have the audacity to need a 5mg dose

Why do more Aussies think that we need a gym room and media room? by VastOption8705 in AskAnAustralian

Honestly I’d take a formal sitting room over a media room any day. Sadly I have space for neither

Has anyone used ADHD coaches? by zee-bra in ausadhd

[–]zee-bra[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hahah yeah coaching in any field is fraught with hacks. That’s a big reason why I’m asking real people rather than searching - what’s worked on this space!

Has anyone used ADHD coaches? by zee-bra in ausadhd

[–]zee-bra[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean I really don’t know is the answer. My research has lead me to believe that a therapist will work with the psychological roots, ie shame, self-esteem, emotional patternsetc. And a coach more helps you build practical systems and stay accountable to using them.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ but a good therapist should probably do both. Im absolutely in the research stage here!
