I told myself I’d been using Windows too long to use a different OS but I was getting so frustrated with how unintuitive the latest…

They wouldn’t price match to 178 for me because it’s a “loyalty discount”

You got the email from Amex saying the cash back is tracked? I have the payment link in my emails but haven’t completed it yet, as I was…

We have the ChiQ one (the more expensive model I think?). Have had it over a year with no issues. We don’t use the dryer much anyway for…

$299 now on Amazon at at JB HiFi

Thanks! Think I’ll try this one out to start with!

Hi, looking for suggestions for a cheap esim primarily for receiving/making calls and texts (don’t need data). I’ve never used an esim…

No the areas I was parking in were both timed free parking zones without any meters/apps

lol no I have better things to do than troll on Ozbargain. If these parking zones exist then they need to be made available for the public…

It’s not the same street. I moved to a car park, the entrance of which is on a different street.

Maybe short distance was a bit vague, as clarified in my comments above I moved my car 700m from a 2P street parking zone to a 3P public…

Can’t see any information about this on my council’s website. 700m is a decent distance away in any case.

An FOI request is gonna cost me $30 or so, I’d assume if they had photo/video of the cars in their original position they’d have…

I had not considered that. I will definitely be investing in a dash cam after this experience! No, I don’t drive a luxury car, mine is a…

700m according to Google maps

Well if they have that footage it would be helpful for me because my car wasn’t parked in the car park when they were marking the other…

Can you send me more info about these parking zones? The fine isn’t from City of Yarra but when I googled their parking zones anyway it…

I’m still on the fence about it, I’m pretty principled so I do want to argue my case but I’m also risk averse so I don’t really…

Certainly this is the case when they are relying on chalk marks to determine if a car has moved or not. But it surely such weak assumptions…

I don’t think they do note the regos/positions of cars on their first pass in this area, I see them chalking cars fairly regularly and…

Yes but an area marked as 2P and an area marked as 3P would surely be different zones? They also did not say in their response to my appeal…

Hi sorry I don’t have time every day to spend on Ozbargain! Not sure why it matters which LGA it was specifically, would rather not give…

Parking for longer than the permitted amount of time, or words to that effect. They only have photos of my car at the time they issued the…

I didn’t move my car ‘down the street’, I drove about 1-2 mins away into a free car park within an entirely different parking zone…

No, I did leave the car park after the 3 hours I just don’t understand why I’d need to prove that in this case, because it’s not…

Yeah I suspect they deny all appeals to avoid setting a precedent too, seems like they didn’t even look at the evidence I submitted to…

They do around my house and workplace, which under two different councils, so I assumed it was a widespread practice in Melbourne?

I’ve re-read their response and I actually misread it the first time. They said that ‘any movement of a vehicle causes its tyres to…

Sorry maybe my post wasn’t clear, the council isn’t City of Melbourne, one of the other LGAs. There wasn’t anything about an admin…
