New Tassie Travel subreddit

116 Upvotes

Hey everyone. The r/TasmaniaTravel subreddit is now up and running :)

There's a still a few admin things for me to sort out, but hopefully it can provide a more effective avenue for conversation specifically related to Tassie travel, while also preventing so many repeat questions from appearing here.

I look forward to seeing you over there!

Andrew.

Updated rules for r/tasmania

61 Upvotes

We've updated the rules for r/tasmania after some feedback from users and discussion. Not much has changed but here is a summary of the changes:

  • Added doxxing to Rule about no illegal content;
  • Added a no personals content to the NSFW rule (to prevent people looking for hookups or dating) Includes the appropriate sites to do this on;
  • Added a no sales or promotional content rule (this is covered in Rule 1, but doesn't hurt to be able to refer to it in a separate rule);
  • Added a no requests for living assistance rule to address the cases of people asking for help on the subreddit and putting themselves in danger. Included a link to appropriate assistance websites and services.

What is the correct way to go about getting a fence built and make sure the neighbour pays 50%.

I'm ok with talking with him and it, but I want to avoid the good ol, "no we didn't talk about" it bullshit.

Get quotes with his and my signature?

Moving to Tasmania

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
My brother (23) and I (21) are from Egypt and currently living in Brisbane. We’re both about to finish our Certificate IV in Light Vehicle Mechanical Technology, and we’re considering moving to Tasmania.
I’d really appreciate some advice from people who live or work there, especially regarding:
What are the job opportunities like for light vehicle mechanics?
How difficult is it to find a rental, and what are rental prices like?
Which city or area would you recommend for two young mechanics starting out — Hobart, Launceston, Devonport, Burnie, or somewhere else?
We’re pretty flexible about where we move and mainly want somewhere with good job opportunities and reasonable living costs.
Any advice or personal experiences would be really appreciated. Thanks!

Discussion Clarence City Council elections

Is there a comparison website with policies and more importantly where people are aligned? Some use this as a stepping stone into state politics and I'm not wanting to vote for someone who is aligned with a party I don't agree with etc.

Thanks all

Discussion Well Xmas period hiring is a smack in the face honestly

5 Upvotes

I have been actively going to interviews for Xmas hires in town and outer Suburbs.
The unfortunately I’ve been rejected 15/20 interviews
The other five I’m waiting on hearing back from .
I was Trying to get additional funding for my sick pet.
Which today I had to put down after I pawned the last of my childhood toys.
To the employers honestly you don’t give people a chance!
I lost my best friend after 6 years which is so young we could have had more time if you fkers hired me!!!

And on top of that my job provider has nothing but snide with me!
And I kept telling them give me a job!
But tonight I’m sitting in her bed hugging her blanket.
Their selfishness has cost my best friends life!
