Just received the JB HiFi catalogue for April 2 to 15. Unfortunately I can’t find an online link for the catalogue (see link below for photos of the catalogue)

Half price Google Home Max ($198) at JB HiFi starting this Thursday April 2, until Wednesday April 15. Enjoy.

Edit: given the current situation, try to get it delivered if possible ($9.95 or so), otherwise remember social distancing, and most importantly, look after yourself, your loved ones and be kind to others. Stay safe!

              Suggestion: You might want to share (if you're comfortable doing so) some more specifics about the type of IT work you're seeking and the location/s. You never know who is on these - and other - forums. You can create opportunities for yourself if you can be mindful.

              I'm on the hunt for data wranglers, data warehousing BAs, and data science peeps. No halt to recruitment activities here. Just switching interviews to Skype until further notice.

                  But I'm currently working from home as much as I can and, if required, can easily courier documents, computer hardware etc to a new starter if required.

      Drop into your local Woolworths or Coles. They are hiring 20,000+

      • HuskyActual on 30/03/2020 - 21:45

        I thought these supermarkets were done solely online ?

      • itsfree on 30/03/2020 - 21:46

      • Hellcrusher3304 on 30/03/2020 - 21:48

        For what positions, I don't see any jobs available on the GC yet

        • mathew42 on 30/03/2020 - 22:00

          Try Aldi, Coles and Woolworths. These companies are exposed to significant risk that their current pool of employees will be impacted significantly by the requirement to self-isolate or the need/preference to stay at home to care for children.

          I'd suggest applying online, but some stores are also accepting walk-in interviews.

            @mathew42: Massive incentive to hire new people when they get $1500 from govt every 2 weeks for existing workers. D'oh.

            I'm sure they will be looking for some newbies but not scrambling like some suggest.

              @Top G:

              I suggest asking your local store manager if they are hiring and if the normal hiring process has been expedited.

              @Top G: That’s only if the business can prove their turnover has reduced by 30% if turnover is less than 1bil, if over they need to see a drop of 50%. Woolies and Coles turnover has increase significantly due to this crisis, they’re not getting the job keeper payments from the gov.

                  @Top G: With everyone working from home, grocery stores are naturally going to have a larger market share compared to takeaway, as people will be stocking their pantries with a lot more snacks and groceries for dinner means rather than going to their usual cafes near workplaces or restaurants for dinner.

                  I strongly believe that their turnover will remain higher than normal, maybe not so much as the current panic buying that’s going on though.

          Bought Google Pixel 4 XL, and got approx AUD142.9 back with Google one membership. Also got AUD 150 from Google directly as the offer at that time. So, had $292.9 about to expire. Added the balance using credit card (Paid the full price) to get Nest Hub Max.

    • Genepi on 31/03/2020 - 12:37

      Personally I reckon you're FAR better off with a Home Max (WAAAAAAY better speaker) plus tablet. Tablet can do so much more. And at this price you could get both for the same price as a Nest Hub Max.

  • hotrod01 on 30/03/2020 - 21:04

        Wait for the landlord not to be able to keep up loan payments and you can have the bank kick you out instead.

            +3

            @Dotherightthing: Mortgage holidays have a sting in the tail.

            "[2] Interest Capitalisation is the addition of unpaid interest to the outstanding loan balance. The outstanding loan balance increases when payments are postponed during periods of deferment or forbearance and unpaid interest is capitalised."

            Like all the money being handed out, at some point the books will need to be balanced.

            +1

            @Dotherightthing: mortgage holiday doesn't mean landlord don't have to pay. It means you don't have to pay now. whatever you need to pay, is still accumulated, and you will need to pay after 6 months, plus the interest on the deferred payments.

            • geoffs87 on 31/03/2020 - 13:02

              @jerrysfang: Yeah, LL still have to pay, just pay later…

              Interest on interest is a killer, PS.

              Wonder if those tenants who get a rent holiday have to pay the balance of their rent they missed after they get a job again?

              • Dotherightthing on 31/03/2020 - 17:16
                -1

                @geoffs87: you dont have to pay the principal and only the interest that get accumulated, so if you have an offset acc, you can technically save that principal for next 6 month and put it in your offset acc

                • geoffs87 on 31/03/2020 - 19:58

                  @Dotherightthing: Yeah correct,

                  However if you’re not receiving rent - not sure how you’ll be saving the principal - especially if you or your partner have lost your job also!

                  My wife is on 12 months maternity leave, so we’re doing single salary, 3 mouths, our PPOR mortgage and the IP mortgage…

                  6 month’s Interest on our IP alone is about $20k… that will all be compounded if we defer!

                  Now luckily, we have enough cash to ride a storm for a year or two… BUT without the IP income it will make things tricky and erode our savings!

    Save your money. After 12 years of central banks creating huge bubbles in economies, the pain ahead will be long.

    Even when businesses return to normality, the huge debt needs to be repaid. This means higher taxes & plenty of so called short term levies.

    Property market will take a hit too. Add in a large portion of mortgages with capitalised interest payments due to 6 month freeze.

    Good time to start practicing restraint and decide if you can do without these materialistic things

      The alternative option to escape debt is hyper-inflation. That means buy now because tomorrow it will cost twice as much, especially when the currency hedges by importers expire and prices are adjusted for the devaluation in the AU$.

      Note I am not a financial advisor and in the current environment a dart board with intoxicated players are likely to be a more accurate predictor of the future.
