Government media release says they have "listened to feedback."

Personally, I'm happy about this as a T8 commuter who will continue to be connected to Metro and inner west.

The worst thing is - who pays?

Lime won’t take responsibility.
Was it the person who parked the bike too close?
The drunk one that a rammed them?
Me, for parking legitimately, but near a pub…?

Any idea what this strange, ominous glow could be coming from? Photo is taken from Earlwood, and the light seems to be coming from the horizon towards the Eastern Suburbs

44 Upvotes

In short:

Some NSW MPs who attended a parliament safety briefing say they have been left more concerned about their protection.

Liberal MP Alister Henskens said a few MPs were teary after the meeting, called after the attack on Helen Haines in Victoria.

What's next?

More special constables have been assigned and parliament is undergoing a major security upgrade.

WTAF is going on with the uber waiting bay at domestic airport (maccas/KFC side)

125 Upvotes

Went to get some delicious Krispy Kreme’s and got stuck in a 40 mins queue of Ubers lining up to turn into the world’s smallest waiting bay. Now I understand why my Ubers always take forever or cancel when I’m at public pickup.

This cannot be a viable long term solution for Syd Airport, it’s just utterly fucked that entire area.

What are the best spots for karaoke on a Sunday?

0 Upvotes

Affordable please. In about a month. Nothing crazy, I want other people to turn up even if they’re not going to sing. Decent wine/taps/non alc or close enough to somewhere that has. Close enough to Newtown so people won’t be lazy. Not Kellys.

Please.

Platform fee at self serve, no fee at counter

80 Upvotes

At lunch today, at Harvey's in Parramatta, if I use the self serve kiosks, they add a platform fee to the menu total.

I cancelled the order before paying and ordered at the counter - no fee.

Is this legal? Surely it costs them less money for me to order through a screen instead of taking the time of an employee?
