Whew! I was worried our street would start stinking by the long weekend, at least we get rid of the re-cycling that is almost full now. Next week is better, we can plan ahead for the normal litter only and take an occasional plastic bag to a public bin to minimise the overflow.
Having the Mitchell or Mugga lane tips open for free dumping is utter nonsense. How many people in your street have a trailer or ute they can fit a green wheelie bin in? I know our eight closest immediate neighbors all haven’t got that ability so they can’t get rid of anything for free.

Hehehe, gee you have a tough life in a tough neighborhood……no buses to take you home after an event by the lake, cyclists out to kill you and no way to take responsibility of your own garbage if you have to…….I sometime wonder if you make this stuff up.

In my neighborhood I have a trailer, my immediate neighbours have a trailer, the bloke across the road has a trailer, the people two doors up have one, the bloke next to them has a ute and across the road from him a small truck.

Im sure one of us could help out those that don’t have one and need to have a bin emptied.

As was pointed out to you in the bus rant you had, not every solution the Government puts forward is 100% suitable for everybody, that is why we need to take responsibility for ourselves………

Did you get out of the wrong side of the bed this morning or do you just make personal attacks for pleasure?
Maybe you could send some of your neighbors over our way next week then, seeing there is such an oversupply of equipment that is suitable.

No, no…I woke up fine. I just giggle at your “hardships” that’s all. If you have a genuine need I am happy to help but if you are just being lazy then nup.

Where is the personal attack?

Name any other industry that pays overtime rates for the 5th day of work?

One lift company in town has a four day week thus any work done after their 36 (or 38, I forget) hour week is overtime. It’s what they and their union negotiated with their employer.

Mining, on a 4on/4off sched. In saying that, that was working 12 hr shifts. I don’t know what schedule this mob are on.

Seems against the ‘fair go’ principle to do the same hours but get paid a lot less just because a new contractor took over. I know I’d miss the usual money coming in, and feel aggrieved, if it happened to me.

Unless your a public servant with unreasonable expectations and wanting well above average redundancy packages, the garbos got a better deal than many others, in keeping their jobs. Many others have worked for a private company that loses the gov contract and thus they lose their job.

It is totally against the idea of a fair go… But at least the drivers appear to have simply stepped from one job to another. I was once in a job which largely consisted of supplying IT equipment to the ACT Gov’t. When the company I worked for failed to win the contract, the work all went to a competitor, and I became unemployed.
