Sillybones posted:I need an oracle to tell me when travel restrictions to overseas will be lifted. I feel like this is forever somehow. Last I read, it's looking like some overseas travel restrictions may be lifted 1 January. The way covid is going in NSW at the moment, though, we're probably going to need to ban all overseas arrivals like Victoria has - so if you leave you may not be able to reenter.

You can keep wagga though Victoria was meant to run all the way up to the Murrumbidgee but some nsw prick got uppity and ran a scam because he was scared Sydney was becoming irrelevant compared to Melbourne because victoria had gold money and changed murrumbidgee to murray. Basicly the eastern states are laid out the way they are because cunts from nsw cried like snotty little shits until someone went fine whatever you can get your way if you shut the gently caress up. This is NSWs legacy.

Hype that Victoria has 4000 active Corona cases, has now accounted for more deaths than NSW, and the government has double downed on the suppression strategy rather than an elimination strat. Hype hype hype for Waves 3 and 4.

We looked for around a year in Brisbane and put five offers down that never went anywhere. I tell you what, looking for houses every single weekend is the most depressing poo poo ever. Specially when you rock up at the open house on Saturday and get told someone put an offer down on Tuesday already. Got lucky with a fixer upper with good bones that was a deceased estate. Two viewings, expressed interest at the first one, out in an offer at the second, finished negotiations on the offer the next day. We’re only the second owners since it was built in 1966, and we refinanced along the way to afford a new bathroom and kitchen. Just did the roof too. I hope you get what you’re after, it can be a real nightmare.

I went into Services SA to renew my ID and as the person printed out the ticket the computer voice announced me to attend a counter. There were plenty of people there too. I then went into Centrelink to do some Medicare stuff and there was maybe one other person there in the massive waiting area and I was seen right away. Also they seem to have gotten the picture at some point and removed all the TV's and wall-posters and floating posters with oppressive and insulting messages bombarding you wherever you look. It was almost pleasant. I assume it will all turn to poo poo again when the covid measures pass. I could never have dreamed for a more easy time of things.

We're not prepared to pay more than we think it's worth and that's what is making it frustrating. Now that we can both work from home we're considering moving further out to get something affordable. We both work full time and really don't want to have to deal with a fixer upper requiring a couple of years worth of weekends to get it where we want it. There have been three open houses where there have been about 20 people show up and the agents are nowhere to be seen. Every time the agents have been uncontactable until the next Monday and then they spam you with calls and blame the website for not updating the open being cancelled. Can't wait to have a weekend not dealing with this poo poo.

To be clear, we didn’t do the renovations ourselves, got a designer to do up plans and he works with a builder that project manages so we didn’t have to do it ourselves. The most we have had to do is ripping up lino and doing a few weekends of painting. Hit me up if in the future you’d like their details, would highly recommend.

My partner runs a software start-up and I work from home so we couldn't justify a $600K mortgage just for the convenience of living close to the nearest big city. The affordable house we bought is about an hour drive out of town, but we don't need to go there often. It was nice not having to compete with the larger groups of people that were showing up to open houses in the city! Good luck with your search, house hunting is pretty stressful.

Now that we can both work from home we're considering moving further out to get something affordable. We both work full time and really don't want to have to deal with a fixer upper requiring a couple of years worth of weekends to get it where we want it. We were in about the same boat here in Adelaide over the last year or so, finally went with the option of buying one no one else (except my partner) wanted, and yeah the prospect of spending the next couple of years fixing the place up is not one I feel ready for. Needs a new kitchen, bathroom, wiring, roof fixes, storm water drainage, lino taken up (probably asbestos backed, so that's happening first) and a living room extension, but we got it for something like $75k under what the bank valued it at, so that's nice. This was after putting offers/bidding on approximately 14 places since mid last year and consistently seeing people offer well above asking price in the dark. I personally believe the covid stuff has been making it worse, because people have been shaken by the economic slump and seeing all the news that house prices are set to tumble have come into the market believing that the prices that are there represent an already reduced level. I do wonder at times whether it would overall have been best to wait until the banks release their mortgage repayment freezes, but betting on house prices to finally shake in Australia is what caused us to wait so long in the first place, to the point we were almost priced out. I am so loving glad not to be going to multiple opens every weekend anymore though, so all I can say is if you're really set on getting a house at least escaping that grind is something you can genuinely look forward to no matter what you end up being successful on.

When I lost my job a couple of years back I blew a sickening amount living off my savings because I couldn't bear the prospect of going back on the Centrelink oppression roundabout. I guess the system works! Fun fact about intentionally oppressive government support systems: South Australia has the 'most generous' workers compensation system in Australia, and one of the 'most generous' in the world in part because we provide 100% of earnings for a year after the injury before stepping down to 80% for another year. When parliament was debating restructuring our various schemes in 1986, 2008 and 2014 on each occasion a significant portion of the discussion revolved around comparisons with other jurisdictions in Australia and 'the literature' that suggested giving workers all of the money they were earning when they've been hosed up by their jobs 'incentivises a culture of entitlement and malingering'. Never seen any of that literature myself, but just know that if you've ever got injured at work and received less than your paycheck because of it, the system was designed that way to force you back to work before you were fully healed. [edit] I know it sounds super obvious when you say it out loud, I just find it confronting that the intent to oppress is not in any way disguised amongst the parliamentarians debating the topic on the hansard.
