$2 hookers always end up looking like $2 hookers....

Not if you turn the lights off and close your eyes.

No need for lube if you know how to warm up an engine.

Always lubricate lest you blow a ring.
Resleeve jobs aren't cheap.

I work in the Mining/Water Corp sector.

Sue Murphy needs to stop selling off pieces to line her pockets.

A few mates I graduated from uni with have been stressing out over potentially losing their jobs due to a restructure. Not a confortable company to work with. But I guess thats what happens when they employ a greedy right winged civil engineer into a CEO role.

I've seen a privatisation first hand.

It hasn't been smooth sailing.

Heard on ABC yesterday about parking at Perth's hospitals. St John of God Murdoch had to increase their prices because it was cheaper than Fiona Stanley. As such, a lot of Fiona Stanley's visitors parked at St John.

A mate of mine works at various hospitals and pays up to $20 a day. He only clears $800 a week and he's basically spending $100 of that on parking. Public transport doesn't work really well so he ends up driving in every day.

The amount of waste at the hospitals is staggering, according to him. One hospital ordered a seating system for one of their ward's reception areas. The seats costs $7000 and the freight from America cost $7000 as well...

Unfortunately had to spend a fair bit of time there in the last few months and that was true, we always parked in the SJOG parts. FS ones are just stupidly costly.

Always parked in the Murdoch instead of FS car park for convenience really rather than price.

The Hospice at Murdoch is a joke with parking being $3 and hour. I understand why they need to charge for parking but they are making people fork out a fortune to say goodbye to loved ones.

I've been to that Hospice before. It's a really nice place considering what it's build for. It's actually criminal to be charging people that much when it's such a difficult situation.

The cost of parking regardless of where you are these days is outrageous. I said to my partner recently when we saw a block within 5kms of the city for sale in a not so flash location (busy intersection) that I would of just let cars park there for a flat rate per day and watched the money roll in - parking is a licence to print money

Except if you're charging for parking you then need security, insurance, etc, etc, etc. Could still be quite lucrative of course but not necessarily simple.

We were there over the weekend for my Grandma who was there from Friday afternoon until last night. Between me, my 2 sisters, mum and dad, aunty and uncle, and cousin we would have easily spent a combined $100+ on parking (probably pushing more towards the $150-$200). It is a nice place and they do need to charge for parking so the normal Murdoch Hospital visitors don't park in the hospice parking but they should come up with a better system.

At least they cap it at $21 a day.

I'm guessing the other thing they have to worry about is students from the Uni looking for a parking spot as well.

If only they had built the bus/train parking bigger
