What do you think a Pub is ?
How much of every $3 transaction fee to withdraw cash do you think the Publican gets ? Before the rest of it goes into the poker machines

Actually the more I think of those Pub / Club / Casino ATM's strategically positioned without any other non-fee cash options you would have to conclude they are PREDATORY
Are they the same on race-courses as well these days ? I don't know

Why don't they get their cash out of an ATM or at Woolies? Both free for me. In fact I don't think I've ever paid a transaction fee.
However you could say that my many PayPal payments are effectively a fee that I pay. Because it costs the seller and they must pass on the cost to the buyer in some way or other.

Fair point Tlazz - however degenerate punters don't think that far ahead. Some probably have never walked into a supermarket
And even if they have - they never plan on losing all their pay in one hit before they get there. its also unlikely they will be open at 1 am in the morning which is PRIME pokie turnover time

SC/Batman, I may have posted this elsewhere but my wife got home from work today and told me she is leaving me because of my addiction to horse racing.
At the moment she is getting the kids packed, packing her own gear and now she is walking down the front path. They're at the gate. And THEY'RE OFF!! |

"In the case of a gallant and daring act being performed by a squadron,
ship's company or a detached body of men (such as marines) in which all
men are deemed equally brave and deserving of the Victoria Cross, a
ballot is drawn. The officers select one officer, the NCOs select one
individual, and the private soldiers or seamen select two individuals." That is unAustralian.

We have a Kawasaki Mule on the farm that is left hand drive, to be honest I don't even think of being in a different position in the vehicle when driving it I just get in and go, I'd imagine on the road it is similar except everything is in a different direction.
It shouldn't take that much to swap from LHD to RHD.

Plant poachers..that's right, people walking around the country ripping up plants to post overseas to China for money. A woman was caught at a post office with 60 boxes of succulents ready to post to China, when asked what was in the boxes by staff, the woman said shhhhh very valuable. This is also a huge problem in Australia with lizards and wildlife, plants, seeds and just about anything that can be sold over to SE Asia.
Thousands of Succulents, millions of dollars. a real world theft of highly prized plants that are worth BIG money.
In northern California, a Game Warden uncovers an illicit network of succulent poachers after mysterious packages containing native plants are reported, and with the help of citizens, biologists, and authorities, he races against time to halt the destruction before permanent damage is inflicted on the land.

With 50% being women and 40% of males being under 18, this is a very high percentage of people hated black people. The second Klan was a formal fraternal organization, with a national and state structure. During the resurgence of the second Klan in the 1920s, its publicity was handled by the Southern Publicity Association. Within the first six months of the Association's national recruitment campaign, Klan membership had increased by 85,000.[48][specify] At its peak in the mid-1920s, the organization's membership ranged from three to eight million members.[49]
