Some basic facts: Seeking asylum in Australia is not illegal. Even if you arrive by boat. The number of people who ask Australia for refugee protection is very small. |

Nah, what’s predictable is that you post something that clearly wrong.
When you are corrected, you double down, and revert to ad hominem attacks.

I'm not sure how many of you are aware but the scheme that allows farms to bring in workers from the Pacific has seen thousands of workers do a runner while here, mostly absorbed into the Pacific Islander communities around the country, some have managed to find a way to live here for years and continue to do so.
Presumably they either work for cash in hand, or work under an assumed identity or the identity of another who is here legally, not sure how they get by if they need medical help or what not but I guess they find a way.

Yeah you’re right. What was relevant, is that when commenting on a graph showing 50k of illegal immigrants. You focus on a cohort that is the 1 or 2% of the total. Which can only mean you don’t understand maths, or you are poisoned by racism.

The political discussion on 9 this morning summed up the Tory strategy.
Story about uni enrolments down, quality and supply of quality educators, then straight into an anti immigration rant. They had Bridget(sports rorts) McKenzie and a right wing radio talk show host so no pushback.

This one blows me away, I had no idea !!?? Men's Test series played by New Zealand against South Africa. It's the second-longest any team has had to wait for a series win against an opposition. New Zealand hold the unwanted record, too, having taken 21 series to end the drought against England. |

Moth's/insects etc the reason they flight around artificial lights is because they are constantly trying to find where up and down is, during the day the sun on their backs keeps them in the right upright position and they can fly and land etc, but at night it sends their sense's crazy and they constantly try to calibrate where up and down is, you will see then bump into lights with their backs and back of their heads, they don't even know they are doing it.
so there you go.

OK, change of tack. Thread is titled "Things You May Not Know"?
No Googling!!!
Imagine you take a piece of string and fit it tightly around the earth - assume no mountains or valleys - it's a perfect sphere, about 40,000 kms circumference. How much more string do you need to add to the 40,000 kms, then even out the string all the way around, to make the string 15cm above the earth? When you've got that one... Take a golf ball. Do the same thing. How much more string do you have to add to lift the string 15cm above the golf ball? |

Yet another way we the people are being stung for literally no reason..
..and when we do become a cashless society, these surcharges will become unavoidable.

Yeah . Ticks me off. Went to the local last week, to buy tickets at a show they were having. Oh no, cant buy them here, you have to get them on line. I ask you ! For heavens sake. Cant buy a ticket over the bar for a show at a local pub !
 Go on line and buy them, and there is a $2.50 booking fee ! I know its not much, but I reckon its bloody rude . |

booking fee = robbery
and again I will keep saying it, when we go fully cashless, we will never be able to avoid these charges and they will become more and more insidious. It's not like you can get around them or even question them. There is millions of dollars daily, being swept from our accounts due to these little robberies.

Transaction costs should simply be included in the advertised price but as they aren’t just be aware that the RBA has regulated card payment surcharges and merchants are not allowed to charge more than the cost imposed on them. IE they can’t profit from this fee. Since interchange fees are now capped at 0.8%, that should give you a rough idea of the maximum surcharge that you should be accepting. Kick up a stink if someone tries on an excessive fee.

Absolute rort.
In all the Pubs / Clubs around me here is Sydney you get charged either $3 or $2.75 per cash withdrawl out of an ATM - $50, $100, $200 or more - all the same. And guess what you can only use on poker machines - that's right - cash. Now the latest add on is TAB withdrawals from your Account can only be done via the same ATM's - so you get the privilege of paying the same charge to get access to your own money in cash. It used to cost you nothing for same at the TAB counter. And I know people will say plan ahead blah, blah - but really - its daylight bloody robbery
