@AussiePeteC @KitWalker021475 Yep! Same up here. Took myself for a drive to Soldiers Beach/Norah Head. Tried to find a parking spot with a view but all taken. Headed back towards home. Might pop to Shelly or Bombora lookout at Nth Shelly in hope of a spot. :)

@mariasofi @KitWalker021475 So far, it's good for a Sunday. Good weather in Sydney. Sunny but not hot.

@mariasofi @KitWalker021475 A rare occasion for me: I am doing a Sunday shift tomorrow! Starts at 8am which is very early for me. Why? Well the new hot water system cost $2000 & I have rego & CTP due on car in mid-May. Early night for me I guess. 💤

@AussiePeteC @KitWalker021475 Welllll you got a Sunday today! It's all a bit 'who you know/mates for mates'... Im glad you got one today though. As you said, it will counteract the unexpected hot water system outlay. Shift going ok?

@mariasofi @KitWalker021475 There's some part timers who have been regularly doing these shifts on over time. This shift would have been taken off me on Thursday if I had worked the previous TWO Sundays I was originally rostered this month. So, to me, it seems a set up to give rosters' buddies a Sunday.😉

@AussiePeteC @KitWalker021475 LOL love it! #StickItToThem

@mariasofi @KitWalker021475 I surprised myself how easily I got out of bed at 5:30. Made it to work on time too! Co workers, I think, are in shock to see me on Sunday. Depot Supervisor probably pinched himself. I *think* the roster clerk put this shift into my work, thinking I'd hand it in.

@Ryandally08 Stop day-drinking... your braincells are suffering

#BREAKING Anthony Albanese has launched an "extraordinary" attack on US President Donald Trump. He said Trumps threat was "unbecoming of a US president" He added "I don't think it's appropriate to use language such as that from the President of the United States" Albo is just trying to burn all bridges with our biggest and greatest ally at this point. #Auspol

@Neil_Elvis @PeterWrigh99653 @pronoytanzir747 @PaulineHansonOz Yeah... the Premier is in charge of immigration 🙄

@mariasofi @PeterWrigh99653 @pronoytanzir747 @PaulineHansonOz You clearly don’t know how much Victorians hate Jacinta Allen for her corruption. Bringing in immigrants from Africa unvetted that are invading homes and killing people isn’t usually celebrated 🙄

Foreigners who aren't Australian citizens shouldn't own Australian Homes.

@AngusTaylorMP Lol Grassgate guy replying to Paul Keating. You dont mind Keating when you want access to Australians' superannuation do you? Give it a rest. Sheez louise.

Response to statement from Paul Keating: I always suspected that Paul Keating didn’t support Australian values, but now he has dropped any pretence. To suggest it is “racist” to put Australian values at the centre of our immigration policy shows just how out of touch he is with Australians, as is the Labor Party. This is the immigration policy we have to have. Immigration numbers are too high. Immigration standards are too low. And both must change. It’s time for Paul Keating and the Labor Party to put Australians and Australian values first.

@Neil_Elvis @PeterWrigh99653 @pronoytanzir747 @PaulineHansonOz I live in NSW. I expect the current Vic Govt will be returned with a majority again. Opposition is non existent

@mariasofi @PeterWrigh99653 @pronoytanzir747 @PaulineHansonOz So Jacinta Allen’s videos are AI are they? You have no idea.

@Neil_Elvis @PeterWrigh99653 @pronoytanzir747 @PaulineHansonOz Absolutely incorrect.

@mariasofi @PeterWrigh99653 @pronoytanzir747 @PaulineHansonOz The facts are they are bringing in immigrants and giving them housing before homeless Australians that are doing it tough, that literally have citizen ship. Rusted on Labor voters are the worst.

@PeterWrigh99653 @Neil_Elvis @pronoytanzir747 @PaulineHansonOz Bullshit. The facts do not support that position

@mariasofi @Neil_Elvis @pronoytanzir747 @PaulineHansonOz Over a million imports have impacted housing a hell of a lot more 🙄

@Neil_Elvis @pronoytanzir747 @PaulineHansonOz He did read it right! You think if a permanent resident who's been here for decades working, raising a family etc shouldn't be able to buy a home? Why not? Get your head around the fact, NEGATIVE GEARING and investors and Howard-era policy changes, have impacted housing

@pronoytanzir747 @PaulineHansonOz Read it properly you fucking sook

@AussiePeteC Lol yep, its not voluntary at all. Your initial message made me laugh as I could hear it in my brain lol It was good, was my first laugh of the day yesterday lol

@mariasofi Lol indeed. The tester asked me if I wanted to do the tests. Don't know why they do that, but I can't refuse! 😄 Lose job STRAIGHT AWAY if I do. One past co-worker, who styled himself as a Cooker, tried to refuse and got shown the door. FAFO. I take it seriously tho IRL.

Got alcohol & drug tested at work today. Unfortunately, they didn't find any.... 😵‍💫

@AussiePeteC @KitWalker021475 Yes, it really depends on what the type of condition is, whether disc related and nerve root impingement, or something less complex. Hopefully he'll get back within a few days. I remember from my wcomp days, backs can be complicated.

@mariasofi @KitWalker021475 Another co worker now on compo as at tonight! For a couple of days just now but it's a back injury I hear. From my own experience they can either fix themselves inside a few days or be weeks. I know this guy and I'm hoping he will be back at work soon

@AussiePeteC Yep! Its difficult as I dont know if what Im being told is accurate or not... I have encouraged her to present to ED if she needs to, and there's a person from crisis housing involved as well. Very sad, as what she needs is admission to MHU, stabilisation and supports in place.

@mariasofi Pretty sure Qld would have similar procedures for people at risk to themselves or others due to mental health. Whilst hospitals and Police will try to have someone take them home, if that is not available then State has to keep them until they are cleared to leave on own steam.

In QLD, what services bridge the gap for a person who has diagnosed mental health conditions, is now homeless, and being discharged from hospital after being there for several days? It seems like there is a gap for "care" of people who aren't well enough to be discharged,

possibly to a psychiatric hospital, where her condition could be stabilised, and a social worker assigned to assist on release (if I recall accurately from back in the day and my old clients who were in this position). #MentalHealth #QLDSupportServices

BUT how does a person with significant mental health challenges, get help to stabilise, and rebuild? Any information would be helpful, as I am being contacted but I am NSW-based, and unsure how support works in the situation set out above. Decades ago, she would be admitted

@strangerous10 Chris Bowen is from SW Sydney. Fairfield LGA. Seat of McMahon. We dont back down when fools are foolish, and we stand up for ourselves when we need to. Would do Bartlett good to get out on the real world for a while.

Chris Bowen slams angry Anti-Renewables journalist Liam Bartlett for abusive comments & for claiming “I’ve had to chase you down.” Bowen: “You’ve come to a press conference, congratulations.”🔥 “Other journalists have been to every press conference I’ve held.” #auspol
