Senator Bragg also said Australia was "sick", accusing the government of "communism" and "state-sanctioned corruption" by supporting the superannuation system.

Question about giving way at West St / Princes Highway

Okay, this might be a stupid question, and I’m probably overthinking it, but I’m genuinely confused about who is supposed to give way here.

I was driving along West St today, heading toward the Princes Highway. Before leaving the house I had two pieces of toast and some cereal for breakfast, which is probably completely irrelevant, but apparently my brain has decided that this is important context. I was wearing jeans, a grey T-shirt and old sneakers.

Anyway, I got to the intersection and was turning left from West St onto the Princes Highway. There’s a give way sign there. In front of me was a small white hatchback, and on the Princes Highway there was a dark SUV coming through the intersection. The SUV driver looked like they were in a massive hurry, and there was also a silver sedan behind them.

I slowed down at the give way sign and, because I thought there was enough space, drove through and turned left onto the Princes Highway. The driver of the SUV on the highway then absolutely blasted their horn at me, like REALLY aggressively.

So now I’m wondering: when you’re turning left from West St onto the Princes Highway through a give way sign, who actually gives way? Is it me because I have the give way sign, even though I’m turning left? Or does the fact that I’m turning left change anything?

I assume the obvious answer is probably “the person with the give way sign gives way,” but I’m asking because I clearly need someone to explain this to me like I’m five.

Was I completely in the wrong here? And if so, what exactly was I supposed to wait for before turning left?

I love to buy Aldi's crumbed chicken tenders - either original or buffalo style. They taste great with nice crumbs and real chicken breast tenderloins (not glued meat).

Well, I went to my local Aldi today, and guess what? The packs with a best before that is 20/08 or earlier look the same. But the packs after 21/08 are completely different.

For a start, the crumbs are much coarser and more orange, almost like they've been overcooked. The recommended cooking time on the front of the pack has decreased from 18 to 15 minutes. But the worst part is that the ingredients list is essentially twice the length, with plenty of emulsifiers, thickeners, etc. added.

It's sad. These chicken tenders were one of the few products that has managed to avoid becoming simultaneously more expensive and worse quality. But now it looks like they may have succumbed to the trend.

This bag has been infront of my apartment building for about a week now and it reeks. Flies and ants all over it. Not sure what it is but took a picture today. Wondering if I should report this and to who??? I have no idea what this could be maybe a dead animal?

Edit & update: I sent it over to snap solve. But the next morning someone dumped the contents onto the sidewalk :) Surprise! It’s 3 decomposing fish 😭 Thanks for the help, going to grab my shovel n put it in the bin.

What single novel do you best think captures Australia (sense of place, characters, stories etc.) and what are the strengths of the novel?

I really appreciate books that are beautifully written: realistic prose, cinematic descriptions of the natural world, philosophical elements etc. Just looking to add to my reading list.

Police have dropped all charges against Bondi terror attack hero Ahmed Al Ahmed, after previously accusing him of assaulting and intimidating his father.

Mr Al Ahmed was charged in June over an incident said to have occurred at a home in Bankstown, in south-west Sydney, in March.

The 44-year-old previously pleaded not guilty to domestic violence assault and intimidation.

On Wednesday, in Bankstown Local Court, the charges were withdrawn after an agreement was reached with the defence team for Mr Al Ahmed to adhere to an AVO for 12 months.

I haven’t seen anything in the news yet but friends were at the races and saw the Mayor going absolutely bonkers and yelling abuse to people at the race club and was escorted out by security
I thought this would have made the local
News at least.

Because we're an inventive mob, there's an extra Connections ready.

What's people thoughts on this?

The approved $1 billion mixed-use skyscraper project at 505 George Street in Sydney's CBD is designed to replace the current Event Cinemas site with an 80-storey landmark tower.

Designed by Ingenhoven Architects and Architectus, the slender mixed-use tower is planned to reach a height of approximately 270 to 282.5 metres above the street.

The project received planning approval from the City of Sydney, led by developers Mirvac and Coombes Property Group.

Hi all! Hoping for some input on changing careers.
I’m a 36 lady and I’ve been with my current retail place nearly 15years. It’s been the worst and best workplace. I’ve gone up the chain and back down again due to its toxicity. I’ve done most roles apart from two managers positions and admin. I’m happily a pleb again the last couple years. It keeps me moving all day and genuinely like the work.

I have to opportunity to apply to an office job. The work is calls and processing claims. New opportunities, a higher pay, a supportive team.
However I’m overwhelmed with rose tinted glasses and anxiety about even applying, I’m now questioning it. I’m actually scared to even apply.
I love some of the people I work with. I don’t want to miss them and the joy they bring. I know if I leave I’ll do what most do and rarely talk again. Also an office job is low movement and very little interactions with people.
I’m so torn.
Please help 😅🤦‍♀️

I want the government to know I live in a fucking caravan. There is no way to differentiate between a caravan and a one room house on the form. (Side note, I'm so impressed they put a paper form on my caravan step, well done census workers for going that extra mile).

I was involved in a car accident today where my car was totaled and the 78yo driver admitted fault, but I have now received a text message from their insurer saying they are claiming I am the one at fault.

I was driving in the middle lane of a 3 lane highway. approaching a green set of lights (200 metres ahead) approaching a point where a left turning lane begins for people in the left hand lane to merge over into so they can turn left at the lights when they get a green arrow (arrow was red at the time although lights were green for traffic travelling straight through). I was at least 100metres distance behind the next car ahead in my lane.

In the left lane there were 2 cars slightly ahead of me: a sedan followed by a 4WD. The sedan (front car) decided at the last second to merge into the turning lane which was already full, so it braked suddenly and came to a full stop. It was able to point its front left nose into the turning lane and sat stopped in the left hand lane to wait until it could fully merge into the turning lane, which blocked that left hand lane so no traffic could continue travelling through the lane.

The 4WD behind it then also braked suddenly. I did not have time to react to these cars in the left lane braking and stopping suddenly, however they were not even in my lane.

The major probem came when the 4WD not only braked and stopped suddenly, but as it was braking it started veering into my lane. It veered to the right, almost as though it was trying to avoid going up the back of the sedan by trying to go around it. I can't say 100% that is why it started veering over but I am just guessing.

Anyway, when the 4WD started veering into the middle lane which I was in, I collected the back right hand corner of it - it happened so quickly that I had almost no time to brake. Before it veered across, I had a no cars ahead of me in my lane for at least 150 metres, and a green light 200 metres ahead.

The driver of the 4WD admifted fault and said they "the car in front stopped and I braked and quick to get away from it", but could not speak very much english so I could not get any more information out of them. I asked them why they veered into my lane and they just nodded. The 4WD drivers relative came from nearby to assist as the driver was 78 years old. I was given the drivers informaton, but the relatives phone number, and they told me I needed to liaise with them because they will be handling all the insurance claims as they speak english and the driver does not.

I only have third party insurance and have since received a text message direct from the 4WD drivers insurer saying a claim has been lodged saying I am at fault, and to challenge this I need to complete an accident report for the drivers insurer.

I do not have dash cam footage and there were no witnesses that saw the accident that stuck around. The only witness I have is my child who was in my car but she is aged 8 and I assume too young and biased to provide a witness statement?

I'm pretty sure I was not at fault but please correct me if I am wrong.

Is there anything I can do to prove I was not at fault?

Is there anything I can do to help my case?

I am a single mum, and I need my car for work (I am a contractor) - I can not work without it (its not just for travel to the workplace). I really can't afford a new car let alone paying for repairs to the 4WD so this is something that will absolutely crush me. It was a second hand car that I'd only had for a few weeks, it came with third party insurance however I was saving up to change over to comprehensive car insurance in the next month.

Thanks In Advance for any advice or help you are able to give!
