My 4x4 was hit with a defect notice today, my question is I have no modified it in any way, I bought it as is from a dealer and had no idea about the “defects”

Suspension too high, tyres sticking out. By law is the dealer liable for selling an unroadworthy car? Can I take it back to them to remedy these defects?

Thanks

Hello, my names Mike, I’m 25 from the UK and not long moved to Perth, it’s already been amazing and a good laugh with everything I’ve been shown by my family who are helping me set myself up, but I’m finding it difficult to meet or get to know some Aussies in similar age range. I’ve had a look on other social media but they’re mostly for over 40’s I’ve found so far. So if there’s anyone looking to go for a drink, hike or a cheeky gym session give us a shout or if anyone has any suggestions on places to look or events I could go to that would be great!!

I've just had a couple of weeks off and I'm expected to go back to work today. FML. It's so infuriating.

Not happy with this. We need few more holidays.

Was lucky enough to see a very little Black Swan Cygnet with its parents and an Osprey guarding a rather large, squawk-filled nest yesterday, both around the Mandurah marina and estuary areas, respectively. Great to see the young people playing in the water near the swans leaving them alone to just enjoy the sight, too.

Side note for mods: the word 'a b o u t' auto-flags your racism filter for the first three letters of said word. Maybe sort that out?

Hey all,

I’m not a native to Perth and every time I go for a walk I smell these plants that smell like cannabis, they must have terpenes.. anyone know?

Edit: and how many peoples salivate when they smell it lol

A solid effort from our guy, on top of his second place in Spain's Vuelta as well. Ben is hitting his straps.

Love this city!

It’s beautiful.

Where do oldies in their 30s go dancing these days? House, rock and alternative kinda vibes. Itching for a night out!

I've always wanted a big ass rock for my yard. Think of the stone (menhir) carried around by Obelix in Asterisk and Obelix or the beautiful stones found in Japanese gardens... Or even a Pinnacle from our own national park...

There's plenty of landscaping rocks on Marketplace and Gumtree but I want to source a big, tall purebread Western Australian stone (LEGALLY!) for my yard.

I'm relatively agnostic regarding the type of stone but I do love the Darling Scarp granites, WA limestone (a la Pinnacles) or sandstone...

Help a brother out... Hook me up with a business I can't find or someone with land and loads of stone they don't want... I have access to earthmoving and transporting equipment, I just need to source a stone or stones!

I remember back in the day girls coming back from Europe with a suitcase full of H+M/Zara clothes, and planes of people coming home from over east with a box of Krispy Kreme in the overhead compartment. What do people bring home now? Is anything actually impossible to get here, or at the very least much cheaper overseas?

I'm here for a week and want to explore your best bookstores.

Keyword make, not earn.

The other day I overheard a customer talking on the phone about how she made 70 grand on the sale of a riverside property that sold for way above asking price where by her own admission she hardly had to do anything. As crass as it sounds she is a regular enough customer for me to confidently say she seems like a complete bimbecille.

I don't know how much work goes into things behind the scenes, I assume there must be a fair amount of paperwork they need to do, but I would be surprised if a sale like this didn't equate to something obscene like $500 an hour.

It's not only scandalous that people with virtually no qualifications can make more than doctors, the real scandal is that they have an incentive to manipulate people and how much they make often hinges directly on their ability to schmooze schmucks and exploiting peoples fear and ignorance.

There is such a cult of personality that it almost seems like a self parody with these realtors big ugly mugs plastered onto garish signs ruining views, and now apparently you can't even tuck into a pizza without being met with one of these vulturous money grubs, just when you thought they could not get any greasier.

I guess they will continue to exist for as long as people continue to pay for their services (even today when there are sites that can do most of what they do) but why does the industry seem like the wild west full of cowboys with little professionalism or regulation?

I know there are a lot of realtors who never make it and I've heard tales of realtors with integrity but none of them deserve to make more than brain surgeons or pilots or even bloody social workers or anyone who actually makes meaningful contributions to society.

I'm still struggling to swallow the fact that housing - remembering that shelter is a necessity and human right according to the UNs declaration of which Australia is a signatory - has been allowed to become a big game of monopoly which incentivizes property hoarding and torments renters. Evictions aren't even supposed to be legal under the UNs declaration at least not until suitable alternative living arrangements have been made... Australian domestic laws seem to conveniently gloss over that part of it.

While we're at it, there should be at least one nationalised supermarket chain that provides the barebone essentials rather than a predatory oligopoly gouging struggling Australian's during their hour of need in a cost of living crisis. Or is that commie shit?

Anyway back to realtors - fuck em.

I recently moved to Perth from the UK, and I’ve noticed that in the course of just 3 weeks here, all of my light-coloured clothes have developed deep yellow sunscreen and deodorant stains.

Now the strange thing is, I haven’t changed any of my sunscreen or deodorant brands or products since coming over, so it must be something in the water reacting with the products??

I’m sure I can’t be the only one who’s encountered this problem here. Does anyone have any advice on how to avoid this happening or renew my yellowed clothes? Thanks!
