Help with id for an unusual insect

My son would really love to know what this insect his nana found in her garden out Mosman way. It’s nothing any of our fam has seen before… is it some sort of infection / fungal growth out its back? Or is that part of the insect?

To be fair, our 4 year old knows more about insects than I do….

People who have been to a private mental health facility in Sydney for depression, did you find you improved after?

My Father is voluntarily admitting himself and I think it's the right thing to do, but I'm cynical after a year of outpatient treatment that hasn't been very effective that this is going to be any better. Anyone got any experiences?

To the person who stole my diesel fuel can off my ute last night:

I specifically label it diesel, and then only ever put unleaded in it, what I actually need it for.

I hope you enjoy getting your fuel injector replaced.

It's the second time it's happened this year...

Edit: my ute is a diesel.

Shit to do near pyrmont with a partner (plus sydney fish market question)

Heyo, taking my gf to sydney fish market in pyrmont for her birthday at like 1pm on tuesday since she's been seeing reels and shit of it and wants to go, then I was planning to take us to the powerhouse museum, but I have just now realised its fucking closed and im stupid.

Anyways, i'm planning to have us eat there at like 1-2pm, then we have some rental go karting at 5:20pm, wondering if there are any suggestions on fun chill stuff to do, like good arcades, or anything fun for two 20 year olds. Go karting is in moore park, so anywhere between pyrmont and there would be a great suggestion.

Also, is parking absolutely impossible? Should we just get the train. Cheers.

Who has right of way?

Blue pedestrian vs yellow car. I would think the pedestrian because the car is making a turn, but it seems like cars never stop here.

For $26 I was expecting better

New cafe, I assumed based on the price that this was going to be “a little bit fancy” and intrigued what they could do with an English muffin.

Nope, I just paid $26 for a sausage McMuffin. This is why Sydney doesn’t get close to Melbourne for brunch.

Can I pickup a parcel early from the business centre hub?

My Parcel is currently showing to be sitting in the Seven Hills facility.

I think this is a parcel hub because almost all my parcel deliveries always go through here before it comes to my address.

The delivery of my parcel is estimated to be Mon-Tue. But I am wondering if its possible for me to go up to the Seven Hills centre and pickup the parcel early?

Because the parcel is an important document that I am hoping to process asap and even if they will delivery on Monday my area is usually on the end of the route and we usually get our deliveries at late 3-5pm in the afternoon.

If I want to do this on early Monday do I need to call them up to put a hold on the parcel so it doesnt get put in a delivery truck?

Hit and run

Probably been posted a dozen times here but just wanted to know if it’s even worth the effort to report to the police, asking the neighbours for potential cctv footages after my parked car got hit (side mirror is gone). I didn’t even know until an older couple knocked on my door and told me they saw it and the driver drove off, but they were a bit too far away in their car to note down any details.

I am losing a day off work, $400 and time to replace the mirror. Only third party insurance so they won’t do anything.

Is it worth spending time and energy chasing this up? Or just take this as a lesson and avoid street parking and taking up comprehensive insurance? Can’t believe people are still so shitty.

How would you solve the homelessness issue?

What ideas do you have to help solve the homelessness issue?

Please come with a problem solving mind. Be willing to have your ideas challenged. Challengers please be respectful and explain why something might not work and what might help solve for that.

I've tagged NSFW as it's a sensitive issue and there may be some pretty horrible shit discussed.
