If you're letting your kids out of the house to go fishing with their mates in either Herdsmen Lake or near the Swan River, be aware that some of these kids are trying to either hook black swans or feed them bait of their fishing lines and are essentially treating them like shit, also you should probably check that they're not going out to literally catch and stab fish and leave them to rot on the beach or jetties.

My job takes me to council facilities overnight, where I regularly encounter people sleeping rough—often in cars. Many are single parents with children who can’t afford or access private rentals and have been waiting years for public housing. I also see many seniors who appear old enough to be on pensions.

I know some people are aware of this, but this is for those who aren’t—this is happening right now.

I work at carousel in Cannington. Anyone have any clue why there are so many idiots around here. Especially other people on the road. My god it’s a nightmare all day everyday.

The man, who cannot be legally identified, was sentenced to 14 months in prison in the Perth District Court for aggravated indecent dealing with a child under the age of 13.

He was moved to immigration detention but was later released after successfully overturning his visa cancellation through the ART.

The man is registered on the Australian National Child Offender Register, according to the WA Attorney General Tony Buti.

Reasons for reinstating visa

The ART found while factors like the protection and expectation of the community weighed in favour of his deportation, the man's close ties to the country and the impediments he would face due to his age and ill health outweighed them.

Hi Everyone. I’ve been a Telstra customer since day dot but now they’re putting up their mobile plans prices AGAIN, I think it’s finally time to make the switch to a cheaper provider. I currently pay $70 (going upto $74 on 2nd May) for 50gb, unlimited calls, ect. I typically use between 25-30gb per month and my handset (iPhone) is paid off.

I was looking at tangerine but some of the reviews are saying a lot of people can’t access 5G? What are some great cheaper options that you’d recommend? I don’t make international calls and I don’t travel out country. I’m basically always in the burbs and the city. TIA

I am friends with a lovely couple in their 80’s who keep having garage sales in the hopes of clearing a lot of stuff out. Just general old school garage sale stuff - kitchenware, linen, handbags, vases, cds, kids toys, board games, puzzles etc

They’ve asked me to advertise it on FB for them each time, which I have on the garage sales pages but they never sell much of anything and have to pack it all back up again and store it.

Does anyone have any other options of what they can do with it? I’ve said Salvos but is there anything else?

There is so much that would be good for people in need but how do you get it to the right place?

Any tips would be appreciated 😊

This was Charlie Chaplins first talkie and was released in 1940 when the world was at war.

Modeled to look like Hitler he starkly contrasted the German Dictator by passionately delivering this speech that called for unity, compassion and to reject hatred.

Given current world affairs, I thought I’d share it as it ‘s amazing how almost every word resonates with what is going on right now. It’s brilliant and very powerful.

If you want to know more, it’s a very interesting piece cinematography history.

I have tried yates, pestxpert, baits from coles, woollies, bunnings, borax sugar diy. Nothing seems to work. We throw bin every night and keep the kitchen dry most we can. nothing seems to work

What a ripper of a day it was! See ya later beautiful Perth summer ❤️❤️❤️

Random as but I just copped some cargo shorts from Cotton On and chucked them on today and am in love - who'd have thought! Fellow Perthians, who else is rocking the cargo shorts today? I'm curious to see how many people are ...

I've chosen the Shitpost flair but honestly am pretty serious about this.

I used to have a street tree right beside my courtyard that was really popular with honey eaters and other birds. Unfortunately, that tree was removed because branches fell.

I missed hearing the birds and watching them feeding.

Unfortunately, I'm limited to container plants because I'm renting.

Can anyone recommend anything I could grow in a container that could bring back some life back? Preferably native. Preferably local to the Perth area.
