Made the mistake of enquiring about a gym course at Jetts and now getting spam texts and emails.

Today's email gives a proper working link if you want to sign up for their latest Black Friday offer. If you want to unsubscribe the options shown at the bottom are either a broken link that goes nowhere or one leading to an insecure rubbish site. Worth a referral to ACMA I reckon.

Also recall asking about a clause in their sign-up contract that states they have the right to film clients in the gym and use it for marketing purposes with no opt out provision. The gym franchisee owner assured me that wouldn't happen at her gym. She was trying to convince me she had the authority to override the contract and that her verbal say so would do the trick. Yeah right.

In short:

Labor MP Luke Gosling's breach of bail charge has been dropped by prosecutors during a short hearing in the Darwin Local Court.

Mr Gosling still faces two charges of assaulting the Northern Territory administrator, which he denies.

What's next?

The MP is due to return to court next month for a hearing related to the assault charges.

My rural fire brigade is on its 3rd credit union, and it is constant technical problems. Different problems with each, but always technical - can't generate valid statements, can't send us an email, two-to-sign internet banking authorisation doesn't work. It's a right hassle changing banks and I don't fancy the big 4 with their world destroying investments, but this credit union sector just seems plagued with low function.

Ballina NSW. Stood there staring at it for half an hour. It was completely silent. Ive seen alot of storms but nothing like this.

Hi guys,

This year I want to start wearing a poppy for Remembrance Day. However, I'm getting mixed opinions online as to when it is appropriate to start wearing one. Can anyone chime in for me as to when I should start wearing one? Also, if anyone knows the best places to find one that would be great. I'm Melbourne South-Eastern suburbs based.

Thanks!

Anyone know what happens to the hotel quarantine debt once the person has passed away? Does the state government automatically detect and pursue it at probate or property transfer (real estate) if the executor doesn’t pay it some other way?
This relates to Victoria primarily, but would be interested to hear about other states too.

Perfection Fresh has admitted to engaging in cartel conduct and has agreed to jointly submit to the Court that Perfection Fresh should be ordered to pay a penalty of $12 million for nine contraventions and one attempted contravention and establish a competition law compliance program.

The Court will determine whether the proposed penalty and other orders are appropriate at a later date.

In September 2025, the ACCC commenced civil proceedings in the Federal Court against Perfection Fresh, three other suppliers and three individuals for alleged price fixing while supplying fresh vegetables to ALDI, in breach of Australia’s competition laws.

The ACCC alleged, and Perfection Fresh has admitted, that on eleven occasions between 2019 and 2020, Perfection Fresh engaged in cartel conduct by fixing the prices of broccoli, cauliflower and iceberg lettuce supplied to ALDI in New South Wales.

The ACCC’s case against the other suppliers and individuals is ongoing. As the matter remains before the Court, the ACCC will not be making further comment at this time.
