Apparently there's a place in Wellington Point that does a good HSP. Have to try out sometime. And hot chilli sauce is the correct answer. Heathens.

A Brisbane family is fighting to save a pet dog after a seize and destroy notice was issued as the latest blow in a two-year battle with the Brisbane City Council. Fiona Banwell and her family, including three children, two dogs, a cat and some chickens, moved into their home at Hefferan Street in Fairfield in late 2013. Within weeks, Ms Banwell said she was approached by one of her neighbours with a complaint of excessive barking from the family's three-year-old golden retriever, Sandy. The mother-of-three said she hadn't heard the barking and apologised, however a notice to remedy was issued by the council following further complaints of excessive barking. A council spokesperson said it had received "continuous complaints". "Since April 2014, council has received continuous complaints from several different neighbours about a barking dog at 40 Hefferan Street, Fairfield," it said. "Neighbours report this barking is impacting their ability to sleep, work and live in peace." The former midwife filled out the notice and kept a logbook of when her dogs barked, purchased a recording device to determine level of nuisance, consulted with a dog trainer and built a strong wooden fence to stop Sandy from being able to see anyone walking past the fence. She said didn't hear back from the council and, given she had not noticed any excessive barking from Sandy, assumed the situation had been resolved - until she was issued with a notice to remove Sandy in November 2014. Within days of receiving the notice, the Banwells' home was destroyed in a storm, preventing the council from taking Sandy away. The family worked to rebuild their home and in April 2015, moved back in. Complaints of excessive barking continued until early 2016, when Ms Banwell said she was informed the investigation into Sandy's alleged excessive barking had ended. "I thought, 'OK, finally this is the end'," she said. "And then on the Sunday before last (a council worker) rang and said we have advice and (the warrant to seize and destroy) is still valid. "He said, 'We will be applying to get a warrant to get the dog'. I said, 'Could I be advised when you go to court to get that warrant?' " However Ms Banwell said she was not notified, and on Thursday at 3pm she received a call from the council letting her know it had obtained a warrant and would be at the house within the hour. "I got on phone (to council) and said, 'You said you would tell me when you would go to court to get the warrant and he said, 'I was directed not to advise you'," she said. "I said this is not fair, I was almost having a breakdown. "I flew in, grabbed the dogs, stuffed them in the car and drove off and had to pull over to compose myself." A council spokesperson said it had made attempts to work with Ms Banwell to stop the animal from barking excessively, however to no result, but said there was no intention to euthanase the dog. "Despite attempts to work with the owner, the dog has continued to bark excessively, causing a breach of the Animal Local Law 2003," they said. "As the owner has not been able to reduce or stop the barking, a notice has been issued to the owner requiring them to rehome the dog at another property. "Dogs are only euthanised in extreme cases when they present a safety risk to the community and barking is not considered such a risk, therefore there is no intention to euthanise this dog. "Council has substantial evidence of the dog breaching the local law through excessive barking and impacting the lives of surrounding neighbours. "This includes multiple records of the dog barking including one instance of constant barking in excess of 11 minutes." Ms Banwell said the two-year battle was having a serious impact on her family and she started an online petition, which has more than 45,000 signatures, as a last resort. "It's one of the most horrific things I have had to experience," she said. "My son asked the other night, he said, 'This says destruction, that doesn't man they want to kill her?' I said 'That is what it means, but I have her safe.' " Both family dogs are boarding in a kennel until the matter can be resolved. "This can't be long-term, because I can't afford that. "On December 21, 2015, they sent a letter to say there was no breach with any of the recordings they had but if we get a complaint we are going to investigate regardless. "Basically there is never going to be an end point." A council spokesperson said there was "extensive" evidence that justified the council proceeding with a relocation notice. "Following a complaint from the dog owner, council conducted a full review of the case and the decision to proceed was made by several senior council staff, based on the extensive evidence about the dog's barking behaviour," they said. "Council will defend the rights of those neighbours who have been directly impacted for more than two years by the loud ongoing barking of this dog." lovely neighbours.

If you're in Sydney, specifically Ashfield, the HSP from Sim Kebab House is worthy. Make sure you get their homemade chilli sauce on it, not even Allah himself will save your sphincter from fiery retribution

So I'm staying at a friend's place on census night, but they've already filled it in online and I'm not included on it. I ordinarily live on my own. So I can't accurately fill out the census using the ID# that was mailed to me. How hosed am I?

Ha. Serves me right for not doing it before heading out for dinner with family. I hope it didn't gently caress with people who were currently filling out their census forms. That would make a lot of older people unnecessarily frustrated

Good News Everyone! The Budget has been fixed by fining the entire country for failing to fill in the census! I would hope this fiasco will result in the minister's head, but I'm sure the LNP will say it's not THEIR fault. It's some other guy, whoever was in charge before the election.

However I'm pretty drat certain Anonymous would be DDOSing the gently caress out of it, because privacy violation by govts is riiiiight up their alley, and its a hell of an oportunity to cause an upset against the govt.

A message posted to the Census Australia Twitter account has confirmed the outage. Australian Bureau of Statistics boss Chris Libreri earlier said he was confident that the system could handle the increased traffic load expected on census night. "We have load tested it at 150 per cent of the number of people we think are going to be on it on Tuesday for eight hours straight and it didn't look like flinching," Mr Libreri told News.com. "We wouldn't do it unless we were able to safely do it, we have evolved it and we are confident."
