Question Anyone knows of funeral Choirs here in SA?

61 Upvotes

Hi all. I just got diagnosed terminal and want to make my departure fun.

I invested a bit in planning, but still missing some quality executions. (sry English not my first language).

Are there choirs (like multiple women being paid to cry) here in Adelaide, or wide in South Australia? Not looking for professionals, but you have to be a female and be able to cry on demand. Trans people are also welcome. Moreover, trans preferable (double pay), just to piss off my homeophobik part of family.

There will be a rehearsal tho, just want to make the quality worth my money and time.

Legislation to stop homebuyers being left high and dry by developers misusing sunset clauses in contracts will soon be introduced to SA parliament.

Under current arrangements, sunset clauses allow both parties to terminate contracts if homes are not completed by an agreed date, but can be misused — allegedly by developers who want to cash in on rising property values.

The SA government says it will conduct consultation in the coming weeks and wants to introduce legislation to parliament by the end of the year.

Discussion Adelaide parents — are screens becoming too dominant in our schools?

35 Upvotes

I’m an Adelaide parent concerned about the growing reliance on personal devices in our schools.
I’m supporting a national petition called Fewer Screens More Learning, which has now received more than 28,000 signatures. It asks for no routine student-facing devices in primary schools and less reliance on one-to-one devices in high schools.
This is not about removing technology altogether. Teacher-led technology can be valuable when it has a clear purpose. The concern is when individual screens start replacing books, handwriting, paper-based activities and interaction with teachers and other students.
I’m interested to hear from Adelaide parents and teachers. What is happening in your school, and do you think the balance is right?
Petition for anyone interested:

Discussion Working at Cleanaway Daniels Job Review

Working at Cleanaway Daniels — my experience

If you're considering applying for a driving role at Cleanaway Daniels, good luck to you.

My strong advice would be:

know your rights,

consider joining a union, and

keep written records of important conversations, instructions and incidents.

My experience with the workplace hasn't been what I expected, and I've decided it's time for me to move on.

I'm not going to turn this into a massive rant or name individual people. I'll simply say that, based on my own experience, I'd recommend anyone considering the role to go in with their eyes open, know their rights, and keep good records.

Good luck to anyone who takes the job.

Question Edge early centre voluntary administration - shall I start looking for a new centre?

7 Upvotes

The statement says all centres remain open as normal, for now. But shall I start looking for a new centre now because of the uncertainty about the future? I don’t know much about business and I’m not sure how it would unfold.

I actually like our local edge centre, and our kid has finally settled in there. We had to move him between centres twice previously due to relocation amd each time he struggled for a long period before becoming comfortable and settled. We really don’t want to move him to another centre and make him start all over again.

Politics Saw this Pro-Trans people banner outside Parliament House today.

Upvotes

Was walking past Parliament House this morning and came across this banner.

From what I can make out it seems to be supporting trans people and calling out people who might "interfere" with them.

Honestly good on anyone who is willing to publicly support trans people. At the same time other than the far right, I'm not really sure who they're referring to when they say people are "interfering with trans people". from my perspective, the government seems broadly supportive of trans people although there are still areas where protections could be improved, particularly when it comes to protecting intersex minors from invasive surgical procedures without their consent.

I assume Cory Bernardi might attend, given his history of opposing trans rights and his views on transgender issues. If he does, that would certainly make the context of the banner a bit more interesting.

What surprised me is that I haven’t seen much online advertising or discussion about this. I could obviously be missing something, but I haven’t come across much about the event. Has anyone else seen this or know what the event/protest is about?

Discussion What’s Adelaide like for students?

1 Upvotes

I’m trying to get a better idea of what Adelaide is actually like before uni. I’ve looked at the usual stuff online but thought I’d ask people who actually live there. I’m mainly wondering about things like getting around, grocery costs, finding places to study, meeting people and what there is to do when you’re not at uni. I’m also looking at different places to stay at the moment uni accommodation, private rentals and places like Amber Housing.
