If there is no sign saying you can't park, and there is room for other cars to drive through, I think you have a chance of getting out of that.

 

There is a sign in the street saying no stopping but it looks like it only applies for the access to the pub gates next door as there aren't any other signs in the street.

Not expecting them to let me off but because I've been in the process of sorting a permit out with them for the best part of 6 months I'm hoping they'll be lenient.

A few things

1. how do tax returns work? My understanding is that you pay tax from your wage and at tax return time it is paid back to you. What is the point then?

2. What are the actual benefits of being on the books at work? Apparently at my work there's a very small amount of people who get paid into their accounts. Afaik that's illegal right?

3. If I'm trying to save 90% of what I'm making is it better to be on the books or cash in hand?

Thanks chaps will reward answers in fireworks

1. Your tax return is you telling the ATO what your taxable income is. Whether you get a refund or not is a different story. As your employee is required to withhold tax from your wages on the basis that you earned that same amount for every other week (or fortnight or month depending on pay cycle) of the year. That can mean that if you only worked part of the year or had a few weeks with double the amount of earnings (common in casual jobs) the likelihood of you getting a refund increases.

2. There is a difference between paying cash and being off the books. You can be paid cash and still be on the books (though unlikely). Paying someone off the books is illegal for the employer. Though it does not stop you being required by law to declare that income when doing tax return (though this is hardly ever the case). Benefits of being on the books is that it is not illegal and if you need to prove a certain level of income e.g. to centrelink it is much easier.

3. depends on circumstances. A few things to consider.

A. The rate you are being paid cash in hand vs the rate you would get on the books and amount of tax you would expect to pay

B. Whether you would get smaller shifts being on the books due to increased compliance burden for your employer or shitter nights to work.

C. Whether you are earning enough for a high interest account to make a difference to your savings and whether you regularly depositing cash into your account would raise suspicion (if it is only wages I would think it would not raise much attention.

If you want a more detailed response or have more queries that would require a detailed response. Ask me next time you see me in person.

I'll be honest, when I saw Q1 I got excited and then saw how long ago it was posted and in my head said 'Malloy would be all over this'.

Another thing to remember as I can see some people overlooking this, if you're being paid 'off the books', you are the equivalent of a casual worker rather than a part time or full time worker (you most likely won't be getting sick pay, annual leave, etc.), so compare your cash rate to the casual rate rather than the part time / full time rate.

If you want a simple answer to whether you should be paid 'off the books' or legit, without knowing your circumstances, I'd say the vast majority of the time being paid legit will leave you better off financially, as well as morally and legally, unless you're trying to claim centerlink money at the same time, then it can work out better financially, but you are also adding fraud to the crimes you are committing, and if you're caught and you've defrauded centerlink of over $5,000 you will 100% be going to court on the fraud charges alone.

Do I need to provide a RWC if I'm selling a registered car? I know vicroads says you do but is this commonly practiced?

A RWC is required to transfer the registration to a new owner. You don't have to provide it, but you'll most likely lose a bit on the value as the new buyer will factor in the cost of getting a RWC, as well as the risk that there are 248584 things that need to be fixed before they can get a RWC. Not to mention a lot of buyers will probably just have no interest in buying it at all without RWC.

If you're going to provide it, then don't do it until someone is ready to buy the car (and gives deposit), as the RWC only lasts for a short time.

Basically, if you're car is worth a decent amount, and you know it's in fairly good shape, you're better off providing the RWC. If that's not the case then I'm not really sure what will be better off. Pretty much every RWC is going to require the front windscreen to be changed at the very least, unless you know someone that will hook up a RWC while being lenient. So it will cost some money to get but the idea is that the buyer will pay more for the car to counteract that.

This is all an "in practice" thing, it could very well be the case that technically the seller has to provide the RWC, but it's not uncommon for people to sell the car without it and the buyer to get the RWC instead.

If you don't provide a RWC on a sale of a registered vehicle, the new owner must get one within 28 days or the registration is cancelled.

Now that you mention it, I remember that was the case with my first car, and the time limit just made it an even bigger hassle.

There's an option where it says 'are you providing a RWC' that i've said yes to.. despite the fact I wont actually obtain one once I have a buyer, something I assume most people do or you'd be forever renewing the RWC until you did have a buyer.

I meant when I bought my first car, the hassle was only having 28 days to go sort out the RWC (not that much time since they might need to change things etc.).

But if you're selling, like I said earlier, if you were providing the RWC, you'd only get it once you had a buyer locked in (they've paid a deposit), because that also has a limited time frame.

That's how it worked when I bought my current car, made a deal, gave a deposit, they went and got the RWC done, I came back a few days later and paid the rest of the money and also completed the transfer of registration paper with the seller, drove off with the car, submitted the paperwork with vicroads and paid the transfer fees.

Was inevitable that some action would be taken, this isn't the worst that could have happened.

Government clearly afraid, as they should be.

Not only do they stand to have a key government function replaced by the private sector (issuing and managing currency), they also stand to lose control of the financial system entirely. How will income tax be enforced when they have no idea how much people are earning/spending? We're pretty much back to a time when the economy was very cash based and therefore hard to trace money flows, the same thing with crypto. Except even less traceable, everything done behind a computer, international transactions that are untraceable, etc.

They'll probably try ban it at some point and use the good old "child pornography" excuse like they do when trying to filter the internet etc. "Bitcoin is used to buy child porn". Or perhaps it will be the "terrorism" excuse. "Bitcoin is used to fund terrorists".

Will be interesting to watch what happens none the less.

Another law/civil rights question.

Are you actually required to present ID to police (which they then note down and run a background check on) in a public situation such as walking down a city street? Basically, are they able to do as such without reason for suspicion?

I've given a go at looking into it after an event a fair while ago, but could never find anything conclusive. This also isn't one of those 'hurr durr know ur rights' things, I'm just curious as it appears I was picked out by complete random, much like an airport explosives test. Only remembered it now, and would love to get an answer.

The simple answer is no they can't, but as always there is 'depends on the situation' clause. Legal aid site is good for this stuff.

It also depends on which geographical area you are in when stopped as extraordinary powers are often granted for certain places or particular operations ie the CBD is often subject to major police operations wherein the Attorney General grants extraordinary 'Stop and search' powers for a defined period of time. Train stations, nightstrips (King St, Fitzroy st, Chapel st etc.) and major events also often fall under that category.

Random question about your eyes, does anyone here have any nerve control inside your eyes where you can force different levels of blurry-ness at your command? I can do this and I can't find anything on google related to this. Even my local optometrist has never heard of such a thing (or maybe I explained it wrong. (I've had this this since forever) and I'm curious if this harms my eyesight if I hold my blurred vision to a certain extent or the intensity I place on my eyes exercising these nerves?

I can do this, but it's never been a problem for me so I haven't bothered looking any further into it. 

 

I squint a lot too, regardless of whether it's sunny or not.

Are you sure you're not just un focusing your eyes so everything out of focus looks blurry?

lol, this is exactly what it sounds like is going on to me.

Otherwise, what the fuck is wrong with you kunts?

BTW, while we're soliciting medical advice on a random internet forum about one of the most valuable organs a human has.

What do people see when they close their eyes?

Serious question.

This is exactly what I thought was going on.

Polak if you can't make your vision blurry by looking at something more than 20 metres away then what BH has said is likely right and you are simply forcing your eyes to focus on an imaginary point which is further away than what is directly in your eyesight.
