Title.

Iv done a 3 year BA Hons Education Studies degree which didn't come with a QTS. So now I'm doing a year QTS SCITT course (secondary geography) which is awarded to me through a university. Would I be able to teach in Aus with these qualifications? I'm from the UK

Was discussing this with a mate but neither of us are lawyers or cops so just wanted to throw it out there. If someone’s carrying personal use drugs and you’re stopped by a cop and they ask for your consent to search you to which you reply “I don’t consent but I won’t stop you from doing your job,”they’re still screwed regardless aren’t they???

So, a little weird question but I just need your opinion.

So I am moving to australia in September. Is it a good idea to attach some of my projects to my CV so the company who hires me sees that Im capable and not entirely useless? :D You have a little bit different CV`s over there than we have in Estonia.

I could not attach pictures here so I uploaded them to imgur: https://imgur.com/a/frF4d6X

PS! I know that these projects are not the best stuff out there but its better than nothing. :)

Thanks in advance!

Hello, anybody here who are international students/ graduates who has 6 minutes of their time to spare? I am an international student from Sydney. My group mates and I are having difficulty in looking for 100 respondents who are international students/ graduates currently living/ situated in other states outside Sydney. Due to the reason of having limited networks.

We aim to gain the most accurate results as possible without any compromise, our study mainly revolves around the importance of English proficiency of international students/graduates. We are keen to make this research successful, as you can see the benefits would likely to contribute in various aspects, we value our education and like most of the students, we aim to maximise the value of every penny spent for our school fees.

If you or know someone, we would appreciate your kindness in helping us accomplish our research.

Also, we are open to help out other students who have the same dilemma about their research.

Please click on the link below and indicate Group 4 as your reference.

Thank you very much!

Basically, I'm poor af. But my shoes died and after only lasting two years. Any shoes you can recommend that aren't crazy expensive but run the test of time? I enjoy walking and hiking a bit, not excessively or anything.

Has anyone actually got fruit picking farms recommendations to work for? And what it was like? Tried looking for some on Facebook, all different websites and etc but none are looking to hire yet (we arrive 20th may) and we been told best chance is you have to find it when we arrive but we like to be planned and want to try find work before we come out. Thanks

Does anyone know what is the best time of year to buy a campervan in Cairns? I heard that many people drive up to Cairns to sell their camper but does anyone know around which time of year most people sell their campervan?

I usually go to a dawn service down the coast and its very secular, no prayer, no chaplain - very simple and solemn 20 mins at 6am. Took my 90 year old mum to a suburban one this morning, the local chaplain went off on "blessed are the peacemakers" etc and there was a hymn and a prayer. On top of that mum had to stand in same spot for 40 mins. Dunno, I just wasn't expecting a church service and am honestly a bit annoyed at having to stand thru it. What's everyone's thoughts on this?

My partner and I would like to travel to Australia in October for maybe around 2 weeks... we love nature, I'm thinking to do maybe 2 short treks. Maybe attend a festival about flowers since it's supposedly spring there?

And I'll love to spend a few nights in a place surrounded by nature like in a cabin somewhere.

Problem is Australia is so big and I don't know which state to go to.

I am not planning to go to Queensland/NSW this trip (saving for Aug next year as I would like to visit Ekka with him)

Anywhere else is fine where there is cooling weather and awesome views

Thank you for ur time!!

People will say “hey mate ,how are you?” I respond with something like “yeah pretty good ,how are you?” and there will be no reply. Am I not supposed to answer when people ask me? Am I supposed ask but not expect a reply ? I don’t even know if this is uniquely Australian or not but any insights would be appreciated .

And how much do you spend on each subscription?

Currently I'm subscribed to Netflix ($7/pm), BINGE ($5/pm - half price special for 3 months), Disney Plus ($70 yearly subscription), Paramount Plus ($45 half price yearly subscription deal) and I use my brother's Amazon Prime account for free.

Depending on if I'm offered any deals I will cancel BINGE after my half price offer ends and I will cancel Paramount Plus after my yearly subscription ends.

Apparently the dr Karl vape truths are not truthful and the government won’t let my grandmother with bad eyesight visit Australia. I feel like I’ve been lied to and idk what to trust and what to do like where should I move to and what should I know

Right now it seems like the coalition arrangement due to all of them agreeing with each other only means there will never be a Australian PM representing a remote electorate.

I am quite new to Australia and still in the process of understanding the politics here. I've noticed that on many topics, Labour and the Liberals have very different stands, and they sometimes even attack each other. However, in light of the recent event where the PM requested that X remove the stabbing video of the Bishop, they firmly hold the same stance against Elon Musk and the X platform. I'm very curious; why have all of them, whether from the Liberals or Labour, gone insane over a no-brainer question? Despite X having blocked access to such videos for Australian IP addresses, it is quite obvious that Australia does not have jurisdiction to enforce the platform to completely remove the video globally. Even totalitarian countries like China and Russia do not censor content beyond their borders. Moreover, the same video is still viewable on other social media platforms, such as YouTube (also with geolocation blocking). Can someone point out what leads to such coalition? What are they afraid of? Can someone please shed some light on this?

No signs saying right turn prohibited, indicated well in advance. Single carriageway road (one lane in each direction).I slowed down reasonably for the turn, and I positioned properly at the centre line. Angrily beeped at by the car behind me (who wasn't even all that delayed as he had a lot of space to go around on my left hand side anyway)

Was I wrong?

Hello Australians!

Me and my partner are moving to Australia in September. We really respect your country and your values.

We have seen lots of articles on the internet about racism in Australia. Do Australians really hate immigrants? We plan to come with a working holiday visa, and just enjoy the nature and try to be as respectful as possible towards a foreign country. (Know that from expierence as there are so many Russians in Estonia who just dont bother to learn the language etc).

We are just a little bit intimidated about the racism articles. Is it true that there are a lot of people who hate immigrants?

Thank you for your answers!

I have intermittent internet connection this days and totally loss the connection from early this morning. I’m with More Internet and they have not idea what happens. My NBN box has a link light blinking. I tried power cycling and reset but nothing changed. Do you have any suggestions? Cheers

can i leave things for other person pick up at the hotel's front desk

Anyone noticed medium size boost cups are the same size as original (original just taller, but thinner than medium)? Been on my mind for years

I found on most platforms like YouTube or Apple, after l bought some films on it, l could only watch them on their own platforms, once they are not licensed for these films, l couldn’t access them. So here’s my question, are there any providers from which l can purchase and download them into my local drive and don’t need to concern that one day l can’t watch them anymore? TBH l feel the current business model sucks and don’t make the money l paid worth it.

What was it about the Engadine Maccas story that seemed so believable to everyone, it didn’t seem far fetched to assume Scott Morrison may have actually soiled himself there in 1997?

I have read from many people here that Aussiewaitstaff get paid a minimum wage that is liveable unlike here in Yankeeland, which must be why customers do not tip there, and the waitstaff are genuinely showing great customer service not being prompted to tip, unlike here in Yankeeland where it is common for waitstaff to spit in your food and drinks if they see you did not tip. A few times, people had been caught for it here. Some restaurants here charge mandatory tips (like in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York City), so even if you had terrible customer service, you basically got robbed of your tip money.

So, if the person can afford to pay the weekly or monthly rent of a flat in Australia while working full time on an hourly minimum wage in Australia, then, can they actually get permission to rent a flat if they are living alone in it?

Here in Yankeeland, even if you have plenty of money saved up and willing to pay, minimum wage workers are innelligible to rent a flat here as they have a 3.33 times rent rule in which one's salary must be 3.33 times the rent. There are places that charge up to 10,000 Aussie dollars per month for a studio here. Some people with a 6-figure salary in American dollars even are unable to qualify to rent a flat in their area as some places, even 6-figure salaries are not liveable. It is why our homeless rates are so high as some of these people have lots of money, and even a minimum wage job, but they do not qualify for a job due to insufficient income. I have read that in Yankeeland, due to the high levels of illegal immigrants, some states send them in bus loads to various sanctuary cities, and in sanctuary cities, police are not allowed to detain illegal immigrants and deport them back to their home country. In some places, they are given free accomodation, free health insurance, free drivers licenses (this one is a safety issue especially if they lived in a country where the driving rules are extremely different like with India, which has hardly any driving rules), and free jobs, which steal our job chances.

Hey a migrant asking here, for people in sydney, what actually the beef between people from north shore/ northern beaches and people from eastern suburb/shire. I’ve heard a lot of things about the two not get along and mostly related to financial status but is it actually, reddit ?

I moved into this house a couple of months ago and we’re a family of 4. The garage has been made into a separate flat which was empty, but Recently, tenants have moved into the flat (garage) and there’s 2 people. But the issue is there’s only one set of bins which are now filling up too quickly, to the point where there’s now excess rubbish which won’t fit. I’ve asked my landlord about this (it’s a private rental) and he said we need to share the bins but if we want another set of bins then we have to pay for it which I believe is unfair. One set of bins for 6 people isn’t enough as too much rubbish accumulated. Separate dwellings need their own separate bins. What can I do ??

Or the term "durst not". Do you use it? Have you read it? Do you know what it means? Curious, after someone in another sub has a vastly different experience to me. Trying to figure out which experience is more representative of a regular Australian.
