I live 42 km from work, and I have school drop off’s and pickups on the way. I can’t live where I work, and the kids education opportunities means I can’t have them educated where Iive.
Bikes and public transport are welcome but won’t help my situation.
The original non binary polygamous relationship
You didn’t get the message about 5pm singing practice?
Sounds like we need a royal commission with all the trimmings then. The recommendations will be strongly considered.
“In this case, Eagle Street scored highly. This was mainly due to it having the highest parking fee (A$30-$75 for three hours) of the three restaurant precincts. Even in Caxton Street, which has the cheapest parking ($11 for three hours), more than one in three customers travelled by public transport.”
Also, water is wet.
Lovely unbiased article
Rent to keep has been going for 25 years. No excuse.
The elderly these days were early to middle aged when the internet became a thing. In the 80s and 90s there was Skase, 419, fucking beanie babies as an example. Ignorance is not an excuse.
Exactly. Houso’s gonna houso. If she’s going to put her whole life on new item afterpay, you deserve the stupid. This is someone who grew up in these communities and most get next gen tech and second hand/scratch and dent appliances. Just because you didn’t finish school doesn’t mean you can’t be shrewd
Honestly, if the payout for your car is fair value, just take the money unless it’s something particularly desirable. A Mazda 3/cx 9/Ford focus/povo pack ba falcon is not. Just get the offer, have a look and decide if it’s worth it. If you can’t buy an equivalent or slightly better car, put your foot.down (e.g. if it’s a shitbox, you may not be able to afford another car)
Any more details for us with what’s happened and what it is?
I’ve had two not at fault accidents and I had no want to get the cars back due to the mode of damage, one was a BF2 ute and the other a CX9

I hope there is a bit of analysis done about new Australians vs how they voted, given they are likely to be even farther removed from the issues
Go for it. How far will $115 of silver at market rate take you?
It’s probably youtube cooker stuff, as she has moved to country Tasmania ten years ago with her boyfriend (my age!)
I’ll look, just in a bad place right now.
My old lady (mum) has become a cooker. She sent me silver bullion for my birthday emblazoned with " the currency after the reset", this has been building for years but holy fuck.
Has anyone else had this? What are you doing/who are you talking to?
How are living arrangements being allowed to be built without meal preparation facilities? We aren’t New York or London.
Also, for the rest, it seems like a more a Yank than rest of the world problem.if you’re inner city Melbourne and you can’t find healthy eats close by at 5-11pm near you, you aren’t trying.
All that and no photo! (I did wonder why the chopper was going over yesterday)
Also, a presentation I saw by Saul Griffith for Australia, gives an idea where the focus needs to be
With a small splittie and self-done solar guard, you will deal with 80% of your issues. Ensure you use curtains as well, close them in the morning and I will be surprised if you need anything extra. 2.5kw is less than 30 cents an hour to run, really for 100 days a year at 10 hours is less than $300
Christ sakes, I must be a boomer. I’ve survived without international students bringing me food, and still will. I honestly don’t understand why anyone needs these services unless they are on the piss.
To your question, I couldn’t afford to live where I work (near the brighton end of the SE industrial zone), and the hub-and-spoke melbourne train network means my PT commute would be somewhere between 2 to 2.5 hours one way, with me getting to work two hours after my start time.
We operate 24 hours a day, for back shifts there is literally no public transport option available at the 10-11pm shift change due to the end of service (and making the start time earlier would just mean shift change at 4am, same problem.)
Changing workplaces in the industrial/ag sector is another important factor. For example, my last job, I was driving 40 minutes in the opposite direction to my current commute, it wouldn’t be tenable to sell and buy housing every time there is a job change, the stamp duty alone would be a waste of money. For my colleagues, I recruited a couple last year from a company that wound up, they went from a 20 minute drive in one direction to a 40 minute drive in the other direction, Many travel radially across the city to get here, and large industrial/manufacturing plants are typically NIMBYed in development or if the sprawl grows around it, suddenly there’s noise and activity restrictions.
I could get work locally outside my area of expertise, but I’d be stunting my career and dropping about $50 grand a year in earning potential.
I 100% support public transport and personal mobility, but also recognise the limitations.
