Current wait time at Fiona Stanley ED: 7 hours 45 minutes.

ps. We need a resource tax.

Edit: a lot of assumptions made in the comments here. There are a lot of sick and elderly people in this waiting lounge who deserve a better standard of care than this.
Stay safe all 💜

pretty much as the title said. Had a bad domestic situation involving police and voilence. I am currently staying on my friends couch but today is the third day and I already feel as though I'm overstepping. I'm just asking if anyone knows somewhere safe to park your car at night to sleep in? Im a young female so im scared of break ins/crime etc.

I've just moved back from another country so have no sick leave or other family members i can call on right now. Ive looked at homeless shelters but it seems like theyre already full to the brim.

Bonus points of anyone has any places I can shower, I am working currently so could afford a day pass if needed.

Thanks in advance y'all - never, ever thought i'd be the person typing this post or going through this. Life really is brutal and does not discriminate.

I’m looking for advice regarding a serious tyre-fitting incident involving mycar Harrisdale in Western Australia.

On 17 June 2026, I had all four tyres replaced, balanced and a wheel alignment completed at this branch.

Approximately one month later, I discovered that one wheel had four of its five wheel bolts missing. Only the locking wheel bolt remained. I had unknowingly been driving the vehicle normally during that period, including commuting to work and carrying my partner and colleagues.

I returned the vehicle to mycar Harrisdale. The branch installed four replacement wheel bolts, but I was not provided with a new invoice, job sheet, inspection report or written record of the work performed.

During the discussion, Gary told me that because I returned approximately one month later, there was no warranty, and that the branch had already “absorbed” the cost of the replacement bolts.

I found that response extremely concerning. My complaint was not about tyre wear or the 30-day tyre satisfaction guarantee. It concerned four wheel bolts being found missing following a service in which all four wheels had been removed and refitted.

I am now seeking an independent inspection of the affected wheel, bolt seats, hub threads, wheel bearing and wheel/hub run-out. I am also considering lodging a formal complaint with mycar Head Office and WA Consumer Protection.

Has anyone experienced something similar with mycar or another Australian tyre shop? Should the business cover the independent inspection and any resulting repairs?

I will update the post if mycar Head Office provides a formal response.

I know that missing animals aren’t typically posted here but I’m hoping that if lots of people see her she’s more likely to be caught. She went missing from ferndale around 2/2:30pm on tuesdsy July 21st from around kinlock avenue. She won’t respond to her name but she may respond to hello and land on your head if you are patient. She is a rescue.

Burner account so if no response right away please keep trying but I will be monitoring this post as much as I can.

EDIT: she was caught and taken to a wildlife centre thank you everyones help and advice

Shoutout to OzShut, worked in the call centre as a 17 year old for $17 an hour 💀💀 we had a team of 5 and at least 10 would quit a week

Westport unveils preferred design for $4.6bn Fremantle replacement port - Splash247

That concept picture really looks like someone went nuts in Cities: Skyline and put down as many cargo ports as possible.

Hey, 

I've seen The Odyssey once (in IMAX) and apart from recommending ear plugs, really enjoyed it. My wife is now keen to see it again in the 4DX screen at Innaloo. Has anyone been?
Curious as to weather the seats and action add's to the experience, or weather its just a gimmick and feels like sitting in a fairground rollercoaster getting bashed about...

Any interesting events happening in and around Perth this week?

Does your or your mate’s band have a gig on? Is there a major event (fun run, bike ride,  comic con, road works or whatever) that people should know about? Whether it is a special event happening or just an open invitation to meet up for drinks, let us know what is going on.

I catch public transport alot and I've noticed trees painted sky blue, it seems to be mostly golf courses that have this one completely pruned tree with the same paint on it, but I also noticed one outside of a tennis court, is there a specific reason for the blue trees? I can't imagine its one person going around pruning trees and painting them bright blue

EDIT: thanks for the answers everyone! that awareness campaign clearly worked as intended lmao, to be fair I could've looked this up but I genuinely thought it was some kind of niche conservation thing or something along those lines, cool to see a mental health awareness campaign work so well at least against me aha

I'm 19 years old and currently working part time as an all rounder at a cafe which is quite demanding but for 21.82/hr is this decent or are there better opportunities? I don't know what to feel about quitting since I've only started for a while and I don't know if this is just a bad coincidence or I'm the problem since my previous job also was really bad.

I was just standing at Cockburn Central train station, where there is high-rise construction going on nearby. I was admiring the highly skilled operators of two cranes as they moved stuff around.

It led me to wonder: how does one become a crane operator? How do they move those giant monstrosities into and out of position? What do you do if you’re up there in the box and you need to pee? How do you navigate a windy day or difficult conditions?

If anyone can share any knowledge, I’d be grateful.

Hey guys, we have a leaky shower head and we've reported it to the agent like 4 weeks ago and they've completely ignored it. The water bill will be beyond our normal $30 usage this time. Is there a way we can escalate this matter so that they can send in a plumber and fix it? I spoke to a plumber mate of mine and he reckons it's an expensive job , is that why they're ignore it?

Seen from Zig Zag Scenic Drive. The air was hazy so the city looks desaturated. I might take a photo from the same spot every year and report back in 2030.

Hey all, I recently came into the possession of a mountain bike that someone kindly gave to me. I was wondering if anyone else on here mountain bikes and would be keen to go riding together?

I've done kalamunda a few times with a loan bike and enjoyed it but am a total beginner when it comes to owning my own bike.

Traveling to Thailand for a 5 days trip tmr. I haven’t traveled in 4 years. So my friend has booked our trip with Jetstar. Just realised that my passport is expiring in 4 months today. Gosh I am so stressed and angry at myself for not being mindful. Has anyone been allowed to board in under such circumstances?

Update: I gave it a shot guys. Went to the airport. Came back home crying not bc I was denied but bc I was embarrassed. I was holding up a long queue sorting out my details I am sure the check-in agents gave me a side eye or two for being a dumbass. Haha Always checking my passport’s validity before planning any trip in the future. It was a good lesson. Thank you my amigos :)

Hey all,

Where are some spots to purchase some nice compression shirts/gear in Perth in person so I don’t have to order it online? TIA

I have had another price increase to my NBN/internet effective from next month to $91. Is this an average price for Perth?

I am with Belong and have had no issues (so far) with the service and I'm probably going on 10 years, if not more.

Hi everyone! Any experience working at Fiona Stanley? Just curious about the culture and vibes or the place from a staff perspective! Thanks!

I'm 34, will be relocating to Perth in about 3 months, Cabinet Maker, considering plumbing. Would they hire someone at this age to plum things even as a TA or a labour? Am I being pessimistic?

Halp.

Trying to do something special for someone I've kinda fked things up with.

Gonna put my year's savings on the line and go all out.

Stay in swan valley (which is my favoite place in this state)

Wanting to baloon in northam and then run all the way to yanchep to do some ziplines then run back to swan valley for a spa thing before dinner in the valley.

--> Can anyone suggest any spas in the valley area as the go-to's (Swan Valley Retreat & Amaroo) are booked out.

Thanks in advance.
