I am a US citizen that’s planning on moving to Australia next year and I need some advice about cell phone service

My current contract is about to expire and I have to renew as well as get a new phone. I still have about a little more than a year until I move. When I move would I have to get a new cellphone or can I bring my new one and just change plans and cell phone companies? Also what cellphone company would you recommend (still between Sydney and Melbourne) that I’d get? All advice welcome!

Dear Australian Sportsball Executive

Great game tonight - really enjoyed it - apart from the insipid commentary and endless ads attempting to value-neg my life.
Can we please reach a new agreement? I will totally, voluntarily, regularly drop money in your bank account for the privilege of streaming your sportsball entertainment onto my phone, tablet, PC, TV, whatever.
Here's what I want to pay you good coin for - nothing but the actual play. That's it. In high-res. No interpretation, extrapolation, commentary or associated bullshit.
Can we please deal?

Importance of ATAR

Hey guys. I’m in my final year of HSC, and I’ve really been trying my ass off this year. I gave up my social life, health and hobbies to purely focus on studying, as a means to achieve the best I could (I decided that this is a one-time opportunity, and like others place a lot of emphasis on it, I wanted to do my best). I’ve burned out a couple times, and for the first time in my life, I saw psychologists and went to therapy for mental issues. Multiple times, I gave up myself, participated in escapism-related behaviours (binge eating, watching TV shows that I’m not interested in for hours,etc). I don’t know if they were pre-existent or not, but prior to year 12, i never had these issues probably because I didn’t really put that much value on education, as I’ve always been above average and I wasn’t too bad without putting in effort.
Right now, my predicted atar is between 92-98. Although I’m happy with what I achieved academically, I’m still fighting my mental stress and pressure and I think it’s due to the immense value I place on my hsc. I sometimes think it’s the “end all be all”, that will decide how quickly I progress through life in the future. I know there are people that say the typical/cliche “tHeRe aRe oThEr pAtHwaYs”. Yes obviously I know that, but really, from experienced & educated Australians, how important really is it? Every time I hear someone say it doesn’t matter after u get into uni, just sounds like people that got low atars trying to justify their academic inabilities, or just trying to convince me to take pressure off me. But I don’t know the truth. Could I get your honest opinions? Especially for the ones that tried very hard, was it worth it for you? Thanks

CellOPark gave me an upgrade to "PREMIUM" unsolicited!

I noticed recently that I got charged $1.99 for the first time for "premium notification services" that I had never even heard of!
Apparently, this garbage service charge recurs monthly. While not much individually, this is probably worth raising a big red flag, considering there may be many others who have been "upgraded" without consent!

Trying to decide which degree to pursue

It’s nearly over for our current year 12 hsc year, and I need to start deciding which degree to pursue. My expected atar is between 92-98, and I’m wondering what would be the best choice for me in terms of income as well as interest. In school, I’ve always been interested and passionate about learning science (biology,physics) out of all subjects, but not to the point where I’d give up my spare time to study them (as jn, they were interesting, but not interesting enough to call them my “passions”). Maths was pretty fun to do, where the problem solving part was sometimes so much fun, especially doing it with friends and trying to work out the right answer. Other subjects such as English, social science and commerce subjects never interested me. My point is, if you were to ask me what my interests were in HS, I’d say more in the maths and science area. So the obvious answer would be “pick an engineering/science degree”, but the thing is, i wasn’t EXTREMELY PASSIONATE about them, just what I liked the best out of the subjects I had.
Any tips? Thanks

Black Panther! Near Avoca , Victoria

27/06/2020 We undeniably saw what appeared to be a massive black cat. I.e black Panther or black leopard. It was massive. For a size comparison. Probably 6 inches taller and and longer then a Rottweiler. The face was probably the same circumference as a dinner plate.
We passed it in the car while traveling 80kms/h. I couldn't believe it. It was running in our direction, on our side of the road. Running how a tiger runs. Initially i was the only one that spotted it, told my brother what i had seen and we immediatly did a u-turn and drove back . Because we passed it so fast. I thought i must be mistaken. When we went back my brother spotted it and told me where to drive the car. I pulled up into the tree line and angled the cars lights into the trees and literally 5 meters from the bonnet . We could both clearly see it in a hunched/crouched over position. It stayed for about 3-4 seconds looking at us. When it stood up properly and turned around . We both said something along the lines of WTF. It Then turned away and ran into a swampy field full of tall leeds. We got out of the car slowly & cautiously tried to peer into the area my brother fell into a knee high swampy hole. We stuck around for a while but that was the last we saw of it.
Just did some googling. One was spotted this month in the otways which is 167km away. Doubt its the same one. So going to assume that we will hear more about these animals and find out what the exact species is one day.
After being 5 meters away from it ,while in the car with the high beams directly on it. It looked exactly like a black Panther/leopard, FAR to big to be feral cat.
The location was around the middle of Lexton-Ararat road . MT Lonarch. We called the local police station and reported it, they didn't say they could do anything besides recommending us to contact animal control or RSPCA. Both were closed.
Bloody unreal & ripper of an experience! 🐅
