Perth / Western Australia
I wonder if its like hairdressers apprenticeships, where you can get a cut for free/cheaper, but in this case a cheaper car service?

The building materials for the facade of London Court came from the dismantled mine head out in Kookynie?!
A rally will be held in Margaret River at the weekend to call on the state government to fund rapid bushfire suppression equipment and scale back “failing” prescribed burns in the South West. Globally there has been a shift towards adopting new early detection and rapid suppression equipment to quickly identify and extinguish bushfires. The technology, including smoke detection cameras, satellite monitoring, AI software and drones to give a bird’s-eye view to spot developing fires, is already operational in Canada and California. It is being rolled out in European countries and along the east coast of Australia. WA Forest Alliance senior campaigner Jason Fowler said the WA government and Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions were lagging and reliant on “outdated and dangerous” policy. “The prescribed burning program is no longer effective at protecting South West communities in a drying and warming climate,” he said. “Only half of prescribed burns close to communities have been completed last year because they are too risky. “Forests are also suffering with an increasing number of high-intensity burns causing severe damage.”
The plans for two hotels is noticeably absent from this article.
The impact on the inhabitants of these forests is conspicuous in its absence from this article, but i guess they have some allies in the trail users.
Just stalking the 'about' side bar over on c/melbourne, as any Western Australian on a Saturday night is of course doing... we have lives over here!.. I think... , and noticed they adopted a Numbat at Perth Zoo! How freakin cool! Cheers guys! But, why in Perth and not Melbourne?
Okay, if theres a 15 year old on the teacup ride then i don't think i'll feel safe. I need to see that 'pack a day' guy behind the controls or i just won't feel reassured. /j
Interesting, i just assumed Albany being such a large regional centre already had extended trading hours.
They should name it Crush, and if they make a smaller version, name that one squirt.
Its the liquor license holder who can apply for the transfer. If they're moving, even if they're Liquorland, they should be allowed to take it. And who knows, if the property goes up for sale maybe another liquor store will be put in the same location? Thats probably naive of me, this is Coles we're talking about. There'd be somewhere else in the neighbourhood someone could open another and perhaps better liquor store. Maybe Dan Murphy's will come and plonk one of their big green boxes somewhere really high traffic and cause the spot to be even more horrendous. Thats always fun!

Nice inspiring story for a Saturday.
Belle keeping up with the watery events of the day I see. Very good.
Maybe a less breathless explanation of whats happened over the last few days with Nicheliving.

Would this be the first time Woodside are getting into shale? If so, I wonder if they're planning to broaden their expertise in shale collection through this aquisition to apply it further in Aus? Might be a peripheral benefit Woodside are seeking.
Novelty size invoices, love it!

So did anybody here this noise? Do you think it was an aircraft? Or just a particularly vigorous snore from the judge in the Linda Reynolds v Brittany Higgins case?
Likely a pipe dream at this stage. But having just visited south bank in Brisbane it would be awesome to create something similar here. What I liked about south bank: -big shady trees to sit under Lots of nice places to hang out that don't require you to be a customer open access pool, water playground. Lots of places to eat If Perth tried to do it, we would need to bring in the team who did south bank, and keep away the clowns who made the shadeless concrete wind tunnels like yagan square and Elizabeth quay.
Does anybody remember these little guys? I don't know if I do.
The Freo Pilot service has been around for nearly 200 years, thats sooner after colonisation than i'd have guessed. I'm guessing the Kwinana facility will still have a pilot service, but theres no way the docks down there will be as tricky for the container ships as Freo is.
Sounds like a really good spot for a primary school. Housing right next to the primary school and the rates associated with them, plus $4 million... sounds like a fair plan to me. Zempilas is politicising a wet fish for the attention here.
Why are we so obsessed with our lawns! Now we're laying grass in the Ocean! Lawn culture in the country is out of control! The Gobernet needs to take action against these Horticultural extremists! /s
[F.o.K.P. Case against & Online Form (their "survey")](https://www.friendsofkingspark.com.au/support-us/trial-accommodation-in-kings-park/) What a joke! I don't know what i think of the issue itself, but the Friends of Kings Park group should be ashamed of themselves this morning. Putting an online form on their website, and having essentially their network fill it out is not an gauge of public sentiment. And undermines the legitimacy of good faith attempts at data gathering. > Restricting sections of the botanic garden to provide high-priced accommodation for a select few does not align with this vision. This is one of the examples of leading the respondent in their preamble. By leaving it as an online form, and taking no demographic information this "survey" is no better than online product reviews and as such should be ignored by the government. The Gov now probably need to employ a company who actually know how to conduct a survey to gauge real public sentiment, whatever that may be.
Good day for lunch in the sun.
So I rocked up to a poetry slam at the Rosemount but it was $10 cash only to watch. So I went to the bar and bought a pint on my phone instead.
4wd and mountain bike riders would be a natural set to do classes like this with as well.
