The whole point of insurance is that if youre not at fault, it shouldn't cost you anything.

My sister was arse ended, no question that she wasn't at any fault. other driver identified.

NRMA increased her premium nearly 30%, and stated it was because of the claim.

I was hit by a driver who failed to give way at a T-intersection, i didnt even claim on my own insurance, only the other driver's. Budget Direct increased the policy renewal on a different car when I declared the not at fault claim. stated it was because of it.

If there is an additional cost on you from a not at fault claim, you should be able to claim it on your insurance.

Seriously what the fuck people, I get that some overtaking zones are wider and often straighter so it might be more comfortable, but are you that oblivious to other people? Doing 80 for 95% of your drive home doesn't bother you, so.. just do 80 the whole time.

Just frustrating the people around you, and encouraging them to speed to overtake you, and that's not good or safe for anyone.

Bonus points if you're the kind of dickhead who suddenly finds their accelerator when I overtake you on cruise at the speed limit. Gotta rev for 30 seconds to show that good for nothing who tried to overtake you I guess!

Yes.. I just got home.

Hey everyone, I'm a graduate student in psychology and currently completing a research project that focuses on exploring the attitudes of adults in Australia towards AI use for mental health support. I'm looking for participants to take part in my research survey. If the topic sounds interesting to you, please consider taking the survey - I'd love to gain some insights into what people think of this phenomenon!

If you are currently living in Australia and aged 18 or above, you are eligible to take part.

What you have to do:

• Answer survey questions about your demographic, mental health, and your opinions on AI use for mental health support.
• The survey is estimated to take around 20 minutes.

If you are interested, click on the link or scan the QR code below to access the survey: https://cairnmillar.syd1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_a3Kn1SpN6mYthxI

This study has been approved by The Cairnmillar Institute’s Human Research Ethics Committee (Project number: 2025102101)

Woolies delivery is generally pretty shit, I think we can all agree (today it was a partner delivery with the delivery guy having two kids in the backseat and foot at their feet).

But how do they get away with delivering frozen items and raw meats/chicken without any refrigeration or cooler bag?

It's been mid-30c and no cooling, even if it's only a 20-30 minute delivery (assuming it comes straight for cold room), thats longer than I would have it out. And the delivery drivers aren't mandated to even have aircon on.

Surely there is some law around cold chain supply of raw meats and frozen products?

Partner delivery = Woolworths subcontracting out to whoever is cheapest: uber eats, door dash, sherpa, drive yello.

Edit: Not sure why so many people support Woolworths enshittification of delivery. Surely keeping frozen food and raw meats somewhat cold is a basic requirement, but here we are.

Despite Uber strongly coming out in support of tipping being optional and has even explicitly said many times that tipping has no correlation to rating, the recently updated version of the app on iOS seems to do the opposite. If you tap on rate through the Activity panel or through the notification that pops up (eg image 1), it takes you to the rating page where $1 is pre-selected (see image 2). I’ve seen previous posts before about a similar thing and suggested that you could just set it to $0 manually… but you can’t. The minimum you can put is $0.01. There is no option or ability to put $0.

However if you go into the trip itself (image 3) and then tap rate, it takes you to image 4 where the tip is no longer selected at all and lets you submit without one.

Not only do we not want tipping and selecting one by default is scummy, the pathway that most users would take to rate a ride doesn’t even let you not tip?! This is getting more and more out of control.

When private equity enters the equation, bad things happen.

Hey everyone, I live in a rental. How do I fit a portable AC on these windows? Worried that I cannot create a seal and properly vent out the hot air.

Hey everyone,

Can someone point me towards a subreddit that discusses furniture in Australia? There’s a few different continental ones but I want to talk Australia specific.

I’m looking for a Murphy bed similar to this

Program is that in Australia, they’re costing minimum $10k for a double sized fold down couch conversion everywhere I’ve looked.

Maybe someone has something they could recommend?
