    Same deal

    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/232211

    should be combined…

      I dunno….If it was Dreamworld, it would be a separate deal, wouldn't it?
      Different state, different parks.

      Plus that deal has already been up a day. I know I don't normally look past today's deals and I wouldn't want people to miss out.

        probably…

        But this is the same company, same dates, same conditions…

        You're going to end up with the same comments about all the excluded workers who work just as hard as these people and are possibly paid a lot less…

          My thoughts exactly.
          It's hardly like Doctors are unsung local heroes slogging it out for minimum wage.
          That's not to say that they do not work hard, blah, blah, blah but do they really need freebies at Wet and Wild on top of all the freebies they get from drug reps et al?
          Personally I don't see why teachers deserve it either but that's just me.
          Cops - huh, they already get plenty of freebies (and that's just the legit ones).
          I'd much rather the unpaid vollies than paid workers get freebies.

          Doctors freebies? Like highlighters, pens and mousepads from drug companies? Awesome

          Teachers who work 80 hours a week for what equates to below minimum wage per hour?

          Cops who risk their lives every day protecting you?

          Its good that this company is rewarding these selfless jobs. Doctors might make decent money, but its a bloody hard job.

        • pensionday on 28/01/2016 - 20:15

          @thorton82: teachers that do 80 h weeks: please advise where this occurs, and I'll send my kids there.

          Pure bs unless there is a reason NOT to WANT to be home.

          Ps. I've come from a generational family of great educators. They work hard, but please, 80 hours!!

      What specialty are these friends in? And how long has it taken them to get there?

      I'm a junior doctor, I do overtime (unpaid) every day, and I earn under $70k. Sure, it's above minimum wage, but I've got 7 years of full time study (read: minimal income, ongoing expenses) and a nice fat HELP debt behind me.

      Certainly not a sob story, and yes we earn more than minimum, but thinking we're all raking in $300k is a joke.

      Engineers get shitted on in this country. When someone in 'marketing' (as if that is a real job), gets triple what an engineer gets, there is something wrong. Fake jobs like DJs, photographers and anyone involved in marketing in any way really piss me off. Real jobs like engineers are the ones that should have the rewards.

    haha this is probably the silliest 'bargain/deal' I've ever come across , if it should even be called a 'bargain'. Proving you're a doctor or 'nurse' - what a joke. who can verify? just HOW do you verify that. couldn't you make a fake 'business card' and show them? anyways, why are people who are already earn high enough salaries getting these 'freebies' in the 1st place? Doctors go on holidays every end of the year. Teachers who are on holiday when students are on holidays - that's 8 plus 6 weeks holidays per year. - Gotta be beyond a joke this stupid freebie is. oh yeah, you forgot to add in 'Politicians' - is that a valid 'profession'? What slap in the face for the average hard working citizens of Australia. bloody oath I say

    Is this like a theme park pass where 1 ticket entitles entry to all parks? Or do you have to buy a ticket for each park?
    eg. if I bring my family along (me + 3 others) and wish to enter 3 theme parks, do I pay $90 or $270 in total?

    Yep, I am one of those teachers who work long hours. However I teach adult refugees, so cant help out with peoples children. I take them to job interviews and even local clubs such as men's shed, because they don't have transport but do have mental health issues because of the trauma they have experienced. Some have spent up to 17 years in refugee camps, some have never had the chance of any kind of education because of the civil war in their country of origin. Some have never even held a pencil. I give those extra hours and my own car as transportation and buy them stationary out of my own money because I love what I do, and I love seeing people learn, grow and achieve their potential. However, I have a yearly pass and don't need the freebie, but some of my colleagues are lone mums, who got off their bums and got a degree rather than sitting at home on the dole, and they are doing it tough. I cant wait to let them know about this freebie:) Thanks to the person who posted it.
