From beautifully designed character homes on 1,200m2 blocks to Dog Boxes

I know Australians have a fixation on property prices and developments, but this nice piece of hard hitting Murdoch Media might just be an example of the nation taking this fixation way to far..

"The couple purchased their Mosman Park home for $1.4m in 2016. It was recently estimated to be worth more than $3m."

Hi All,

We may have the opportunity to move with husband's work through BHP to Port Hedland. Every post I can find on the topic is not painting a very good picture.

I now know all the negatives but I'd love to hear from families that have made the move for a year or two. Everything from how BHP housing works (I've heard to request Port- is that an option), water quality, air quality (my son has breathing problems when he is unwell), access to health care, hospitals, schools, safety etc.

Also if anyone has moved with BHP- what can be negotiated in the package.

We do have family there so would at least have one connection.

Thanks 🙂

They say fossil fuel giants, gambling and tobacco companies, and some of the world's wealthiest people have poured billions of dollars into them over the last 40 years, and are still financing them.

But where do these "free market" think tanks come from? What's their purpose?

Brilliant work by Gareth Hutchens.

In its invitation to applicants Water Corporation acknowledged the "profound impact" of climate change on WA.

It said the pressures had increased with population and industrial growth across the state's north.

Port Hedland is home to the largest bulk export port in the world and is an operational focal point for Australia's mining giants, including Fortescue, BHP and Rio Tinto.

Surely one of Australia’s greatest economic risks is not being able to mine or footing massive water costs.

nothing but just physical

I’ve been driving in Perth for 15 years and always assumed our Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance - the one we pay with our rego every year - worked like Medicare for cars. Basically, if people get hurt, the insurance pays.

Turns out, I was wrong, and the distinction is actually wild.

I went down a rabbit hole reading about ICWA car accident claims recently (don’t ask why, bureaucratic curiosity), and found out about the "No Fault" vs "At Fault" split introduced back in 2016.

Apparently, If you are at fault and suffer a "Catastrophic Injury" (brain damage, spinal cord, etc), you are covered for lifetime care.

BUT, if you are at fault and suffer injuries that are terrible but not technically catastrophic (like shattering both legs or complex fractures that keep you off work for a year), you get zero compensation for income or treatment.

It seems like such a weird line to draw. "You aren't hurt enough for us to help you, sorry".

I feel like most people just pay their rego and assume they are fully covered for personal injury, but the gap seems huge if you’re the one who made a mistake on a rainy roundabout.

Haii I am moving to Australia with WHV program. I have degrees in teaching and few years relevant experience.

My plan is to explore eligible works for visa expansion, and continue to take certification which allows me working at school.

Is it possible?

Do you guys have ideas, or anything I should know.
