Hey all, hope this is the right place to post this, been looking for a while on prices/methods for transporting an old nissan patrol down to where I am currently in south east Melbourne from the perth area. With the only catch being that its not running at the moment.
If any of you know anyone or anywhere that offers relatively cheap transport I'd be eternally grateful. I was hoping to get it down for the 1kish mark, but I'll take what i can get

“Friends, we did it!
With your backing, we fought off Adani’s effort to knock us out of the courtroom.
Our court case against Adani will proceed. Our fight goes on. Thank you so much!
In the Federal Court on Tuesday, we beat back Adani and their high-priced legal team.
The judge ruled that Adani’s demand for $160,000 was “disproportionate and unpersuasive”. Instead, we have to put forward $50,000, a figure we can cover thanks to the incredible solidarity of our many supporters, who responded generously in the face of this serious threat.
We have held our ground, and together we thwarted Adani’s bid for a “guillotine order” to get us out of the way. This means our court case to throw out Adani’s ‘rent-a-crowd ILUA’ goes on. Our campaign to protect our ancestral lands and waters is as strong as ever.
Adani’s determination to knock us out has backfired: we are still in the fight - strengthened with even more public support - and their maneuver has put off the case until May next year, causing them even further delays.
And even better, the judge upheld our appeal to the full bench of the Federal Court, saying there is an “arguable case of error” in the decision of the primary judge. It’s what we had hoped to hear.
Our legal challenges are exacting and we have faced an uphill battle for four years, made more difficult by Adani’s relentless bullying, and the piling on of legal costs designed to make us fold. It's not working.
We are still in the way of Adani building its catastrophic mine. We are confident in our arguments, and sure of the rightness of our cause. We know Adani does not have our consent and never will.
But we will have to work doubly hard next year to hold them off. The pressure from them will be immense as they try to forge ahead; and they have added, yet again, to the cost burden we carry. We will still need your ongoing moral and financial support as we battle to prevent our country being smashed for coal.
Thank you again for standing in solidarity with us, as we stand for the rights of our people to keep our country intact and to protect our culture and law.

An entertaining listen, this podcast tells the story of how members of The Realm hacking community in Melbourne hacked NASA with the WANK worm (Worms Against Nuclear Killers) in 1989. Science Vs. Podcast (1:45 to skip ads)

Was having a discussion with someone and I was having a hard time finding the information I'd wanted from fairwork.
But its about how several times in the past few weeks and numerously over a few years this friend had been told he wasn't allowed to clock off at the end of his shift without asking to leave, and that he wasn't allowed to leave because the manager wasn't 'Happy' with the place. For what its worth as well, he is currently a Crew Trainer at McDonalds.
Is this legal or not and is there anything that can be done?
