I wanna go to the strikers New Years eve game with my partner and 4 year old

Now from what I understand kids that are 4 get in free but There is no option to buy a $0 ticket.

This game looks it will be a sell out so how to do I guarantee my 4 year old will get in the ground

[Spargo]

I'm looking to restore an old, early 1970's metal esky. The one with the push-down handles/locks on the side.
Is there somewhere I can take it to get looked at?

Ring or email them. They're pretty good at returning emails.

Does this sound right?

Just moved into a rental property last month and am looking to get naked Internet through iiNet. Spent an hour on the phone to them. They did a check at their end and apparently I have no physical phone line to the house. Very strange seeing that the ports around the house all say "Telstra", there is a phone in the kitchen, and near the front door there is the beige phone line things with the rectangle connection point. iiNet want to send out a technician to install things, at the cost of $300 to me. I don't think they are right. I'm calling Telstra tomorrow to see what they say. It's an old house where they've definitely had a phone connection in the past.

Not really related to this sorry, but with regards to rentals... is there anyway to find out (without asking them directly) if a neighbor is renting or owner occupier?

For the past 10 months or so we have been suffering from the neighbors and their music. The sub is cranked and it causes all of our windows to vibrate and the fence to buzz... its not just loud its deafening. NYE was just ridiculous. We have rung the police on a number of occassions and they stop for a couple of days and then start up again. The Jnr Jases dont actually like being home anymore and we have to put them into our bed as its not quite as bad in there...

Had the same thing when I moved into my current house. Didnt cost anywhere near that much to get it sorted, but did delay getting connected. Takes a Telstra tech half hour to fix the problem

I had exactly the same thing. The house was built in the 1920's (recently renovated). There is only one phone port. Its a newer one (small hole, not chunky plug connector thing) which tells me that it did have a phone line in at least the last 10 years.

Cost us $300 to Telstra and took two weeks to get them out. They also made us buy a home phone, to see if it had a dial tone before they would send anyone out.

It is good internet now though. We get about 12mbps, seamless HD streaming on 3 devices at the same time (all wifi). But we're less than a KM from the exchange. Plus we just got bumped up to 500Gb from 200Gb over the Xmas break for no extra charge. Can't complain.

Sh!t sandwich of a situation, there. There are residential tenancies databases, but I think they're dedicated for landlords/agents in assessing whether a potential tenant is suitable and not for the general public.

There's a way of finding out who the owner/registered proprietor of the land is, but you'd need to know your neighbour's name to be of any use to you.

Presuming they do rent, it's a breach of their residential tenancy agreement (also presuming they're under one) if the tenant causes or permits a nuisance, or if they cause or permit an interference with the reasonable peace, comfort or privacy of another person who resides in the immediate vicinity of the premises. Of course, you'd have to somehow prove such interference had happened. Noise impacts can be a difficult thing to prove.

The landlord can terminate the agreement for such a breach. You'd then have to find their landlord/agent and dob them in. Whether they give a stuff about tenant noise to boot them out and lose rental income is the question. I'd say it's pretty unlikely. The neighbour could also appeal to the Tribunal if booted out.

Unfortunately, I think you're in a bit of tough spot. Good luck.

Have you approached them directly?

Google the address, if it's through an agent there is likely a lead to the owner(s) via any history of being up for lease, or at least an agent to contact.

If not, looks like Magellan knows his stuff and you're in a right pickle.

Do they look like reasonable people? ( Silly question perhaps )

Got in touch with Telstra finally. Apparently there is no phone line to the house at all, and they've no evidence of one in the past.

Judging by that, Id say there was something in the past!

Where am I looking?

I went through the exact same bullshit at my current place (old and I suspect had been vacant for awhile) with iiNet & Telstra each blaming the other about why I couldn't get my internet/Naked DSL phone connected. What I was told off the record is that if a place has been vacant for awhile and I can't remember the technical language because the whole thing pissed me off too much (2-3 month process) but I was told my port or something would've been reallocated at the exchange.

They were even trying to say trenches might need to be dug even though the place has a phone line and did in the past. I was able to get a previous tenants old landline phone number here through the agent and then Telstra through iiNet came out a good month or so later mucked around in the phone line hole out the front for about half an hour and eventually established a dial tone.

That almost looks like a Foxtel port
Could have cable there then?

I'm not sure, there's 3 of those ports around the place
