The option to change the Happy Meal drink to a coffee or large drink for a small fee has been removed, it's small drinks and hot chocolate only.

Come on McDs it was one of your actually good deals. Sad 😔

I live in a small and very remote town. There is a local property owner here that hires young female backpackers on a regular basis, and then subjects them to sexual harassment, general verbal abuse, terrible working conditions, and takes 2/3 of the pay they are entitled to for the 'accommodation' he supplies, which takes 'shithole' to whole new levels of shitness. He withholds their pay in order to try and get them to stay as long as possible (eg, "we only do payroll every three weeks, you'll have to stay until then"). Fairwork is beyond useless, and the cops can't do anything because being an awful person isn't actually illegal.

The locals such as myself do what we can to warn them, help them get to the bigger towns if they don't have a car, give them advice, etc, but I'm deeply worried eventually some poor girl is going to be outright sexually assaulted - he seems to be getting worse with each new lass. I've been doing some research to try and help the latest victim, she's distressed but also angry - is there any department that would oversee this?? I must be very naive, because I honestly just always thought if you hired a backpacker for their 88 days, you'd have to register and meet some requirements, but I can't find anything online, it seems that the backpacker just has to get payslips from you and they submit those as proof for the 88 days, the business owner doesn't need to be approved or submit anything???

If anyone knows of anything that might help on how to extract pay from this guy or ideally get him banned somehow from hiring backpackers (which I don't think is possible), I'd really appreciate it. As soon as this backpacker can get out in the next few days, she'll post up on the platform where she got the job to warn people off, but that's a temporary stoppage at best.

The working holiday visa system seems absolutely designed to be exploited by employers, I am staggered this isn't given more oversight by the government.

i haven’t had oporto in like ten years but on the public holiday we went to the local one and ordered just a salad and a burger meal it was 32 or 33 dollars on the menu when added together, i pull up to the window and am told it’s 49 dollars because it’s a public holiday.

i said “im alright thanks” and drove off - is it normal for them to charge 50% for a public holiday ? i mean i understand when companies charge 10-15% but 50%? is this the norm with this company?

A mother and her 10-year-old son have been stabbed in Wollongong.

The seriously injured victims were treated by Police and NSW Ambulance paramedics before being airlifted to hospital.

A three-year-old boy also in the car was not physically injured and has been taken into the care of another family member.

Within 30 minutes police had arrested a 59-year-old woman at nearby Horsley.

She was charged with two counts of wound person intend to cause grievous bodily harm.

She was refused bail to appear at Wollongong Local Court on Thursday.

Investigations are ongoing and anyone with CCTV or dashcam footage is urged to contact Crime Stoppers.
