Costco petrol have been that way since they opened. You punch in a credit amount at the bowser then fill up. Anything unused is immediately refunded.

And if you have a trip computer it is not hard to see litres used and multiply by the advertised price and manually key in your spend amount on the Costco bowsers.

Well thats TV ruined for the next month...

Gee... I wasnt wrong...  6.00am Koshy live from the UK... 6.00:01 brick through screen.

They interviewed a bloke the other day who saw her go past in a motorcade in 1962. FFS what insight could he possibly have? The coverage is beyond ridiculous.

Are you sure you have the timings right?. What are they going to be showing live at 6am Monday? That's 8pm Sunday in the UK.

The whole shebang doesn't start until 8am on Monday. That's 6pm in Melbourne.

Dan slammed for 'nanny state' rules in Victorian parks

A bold plan to update rules in Victoria has sparked accusations the Andrews Government is intruding too far into resident's personal lives.

Walkers and riders caught not using government-sanctioned trails could face heavy fines, while swimmers could be barred from some waterways without a permit.

The new rules, which will affect more than 50 city and regional parks across Victoria, were outlined in the government's proposed Metropolitan and Regional Parks Regulations.

Changes include a fine of up to $924 for walking off a park trail.

Victorians conducting "intrusive research" – interfering with "wildlife, soil, rocks, vegetation or visitors or that contravenes any regulation applying to the park" – could be hit with a $1,472 fine.

hose wanting to swim in a body of water at a park will require a permit unless that waterway has been clearly designated for swimming.

Rock climbers, abseilers, hang gliders and paragliders will also need to get a permit unless an area has been designated for it.

Those wanting to fill up a chainsaw with fuel or oil could also cop a $1,840 fine.

The rules, which are currently in a consultation process, are due to come into force before the upcoming November 26 election.

"PETA – not Credlin – wants all women to impose a sex ban on men who eat meat because they're responsible for more greenhouse gas emissions."

Fark, that's a passer.

I have cleaned this thread up. There will be no more discussion re: R plates. The protagonist of said deleted posts take this as a wake up call or cop a Red card.

Just WOW.
Emergency services were called to a home on Monfarville Street in St Marys, after reports a car had crashed into a house just after 5.20am.

A 50-year-old female occupant of the home was treated by police and paramedics, but died at the scene.
And a woman was allegedly seen running from the house with a baby.

I'm not into art galleries etc but after Extinction Rebellion protesters glued their hands to a Picasso painting today, the courts need to use the full force of the law to stop these clowns. Gluing yourself to paintings, buildings, roads etc is just vandalism. The costs involved policing/removing these clowns should be garnered via sales of their property etc.

Back in the 70's we had a group chain themselves to hoardings near a nuclear sub in Port Melbourne.
Nice sunny day it was too.
So we watered them, and fed them, and watered them some more.
Then watched, waited and had a laugh.
