I see it regularly - so wherever possible I use their online system and access client data through a special portal.

I feel like someone looked at my passport and didn't look at the name, or picture, or DOB, or sex or anything else...

Someone at Centrelink got a little confused and decided that I'm not a permanent resident of Australia. Seems the Aussie birth certificate confused them... :shock:

Just beacuse they don't have one doesn't mean you shouldn't!

I've blown a tyre. Most comfortable shoes I've ever had. Not bad for $20 from Woolies!

To the doctors out there - are Cantharidin blisters supposed to be extremely painful, or am I just a sook?

That being said, any knowledge on how to relieve the pain?

Anyone know the GST rate in Australia?

 

[serfty]

Anyone know the GST rate in Australia?

Yeah ... 10 percent where applicable.

The GST component of a GST inclusive price is 1/11 of that price.

And that was her only mistake of the whole campaign. Compared to claiming the ALP takes donations from bikies* and then telling people to google the evidence it is a triviality.

* not to mention I know bikies who donated to the LNP.

If you people want to start waxing political in TOTT, you can take it outside - in both senses of the words.

I'm just glad to be away from the weeks of mindless media mêlée-come-bloodshed that is election campaigning, roughly constituted of half syncophatic empty promises and half vitriolic dirt digging and slinging.

Indeed and it makes me wonder why people decided to sling this mud +10% in TOTT.

Meanwhile ...

This video is of some spectacular behaviour by orcas in Canadian waters. Mind you, while watching it I was reminded of other vision of orcas; in that case they went straight towards the beach to snatch either penguins or sea lions on the waters edge, semi beaching themselves in the process. I wonder when the orca heads came out of the water, if those beady eyes got some ideas?

Well in other good news, in all divisions of the Surrey Hockey League there are 2 teams who are unbeaten after having played 3 games past the mid season break. We are one of them :mrgreen:

Its hard enough to say her name, let alone spell it - Palaszczuk.

That's what I would have thought although there are some people who don't pay attention or don't care.

Here's a thought for today's useless management.

People need stability at work. Desk, line of reporting etc. If it keeps changing then people are not going to be happy. Morale drops. Productivity suffers. Right or wrong?

Change for change sake.
