I’d been following the merger posts here and mess expecting it to be about that whole disaster. Spoiler alert, it’s the nimby’s and their objection to the ferry terminal and they state they will not be hearing any other topics.

Special mention goes to the Wesfarmers Lecture Theatre - they’re not even being subtle about bowing to their corporate overlords.

I know you’re reading this Basil…. Tony Buti was taken out for dinner by Deloitte 4 months prior to the date of their final report. This is from the gift registry declaration he was required to submit. What was discussed that couldnt have been an email or a meeting during office hours? Crooked AF

General I think our chicken has been stolen (North Perth 6006)

63 Upvotes

So this morning my mum went out to feed our two chickens, but only one came out.

She's searched absolutely everywhere. No sign of the missing chicken, no feathers, no blood, nothing to suggest a cat. Just completely vanished.

We've had chickens at the property for the past 6+ years, and have never had one go missing.

Here's where things get a little dark (and I wish I was making this up). About 15 years ago, our ducks and ducklings were actually slaughtered in what appeared to be a satanic ritual in our backyard. So unfortunately we have a bit of a history with suspicious poultry incidents. (Police were involved for this).

Naturally, we're now worried our poor little chicken might have ended up somewhere terrible. Has anyone around North Perth had chickens mysteriously disappear recently? Is this a bit much to report to the police?

I realise this sounds ridiculous, but we are genuinely concerned about her.

Cost of Living Shocked to see that Spotlight has replaced till staff with self serve

7 Upvotes

I was just at a spotlight store and found that all the tills were closed and made into self serve, only one till being open and with a staff member at it.

With the unemployment rate going up to the highest its been, (I think its sitting at 4.6% now) it made me wonder why tf is this allowed?

Why is self serve being pushed when unemployment is going up, as well as under employment? Why is this being allowed at all? It's so ridiculous.

It's fucking minumjm wage, just pay people! People want to work!!!

Politics Perth tea - social media drama from elected members

15 Upvotes

Anyone else stunned by the social media post of State Member for Southern River - Terry Healy.

He did a Facebook post saying that the Gosnells council was cancelling a plan for an indoor pool at Sutherland Park, and was instead going to do a splash pad.

Everyone was pretty upset.

Then the Mayor of Gosnells did a post, with a link to the meeting minutes, said it wasn’t true, and the state MP was the one pushing for a splash pad that they didn’t want!

Drama drama

Where to find Any metal bands want to create music with an electronic music producer?

12 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I wanted to reach out to see if there were any experienced metal bands, in Perth, willing to work with me on a music project? I've been heavily inspired by metal/ nu metal lately and I have been innovating those sounds into my own production (I mainly produce heavy bass/ trap/ dubstep music).

If it helps, I've been inspired by acts/ artists such as Metallica, Lamb of God, SOAD, Korn, Reveille, Limp Bizkit, Slipknot, etc...

Would love to see if there were any bands keen on this idea, or if you're someone who may know then please reach out!

General Stupid police helicopter

• Upvotes

A police helicopter has been circling my area every other night for over a week, late at night or in the early hours, seriously, it gets to a point where this is disrespectful to people’s right to peaceful enjoyment, is there a number I can call to go full Karen because whoever they’re trying to find or whatever they’re trying to achieve it’s clearly not working if they have to fly the fucking helicopter this often
