Other Australian Government advice is to use a VPN.

Even a free VPN via Proton gives me 35/18 Mbps via Tokyo.

So, unless they get ISPs to block access to VPNs, blocking an IP address won't work.

(I really hope I haven't given Albo any ideas here...)

(In case it isn't obvious, the following applies to Australia, where we drive on the left.)

I've done hundreds of thousands of clicks on country roads, and the right-turn signal has NEVER meant that it is 'safe to pass'. Never.

Most indicator stalks allow drivers to apply pressure and thus activate a turn signal's bulb, without "locking on" the relay.

This allows drivers to manually produce two or three pairs of LEFT flashes of the LEFT indicator. Like, L-L (1 sec pause) L-L (1 sec pause) L-L.

That has always been understood that the driver in front is saying, to the following driver, "I know you're there. I'm not turning off, but if you want to pass, it's clear ahead, and I'll be looking out for you."

The right-turn signal has ALWAYS ONLY meant, "Danger. Do NOT overtake me."

More than a few times, I've been in trucks with several tonnes of explosives and an impatient passenger coach, or cara-bloody-van, starts showing too much of their grill in the right hand mirror.

Giving them the L-L pattern has let them know it is clear to pass, but the right-turn signal coming on has ALWAYS meant, "Nup. No way. Don't be a bloody fool. Cool ya jets."

Thanks!

That's madness. If I had to live in the NT again, I'd make sure I went into a different bottle shop every day, take about $200 worth of whatever up to the counter, and then walk out, leaving the drinks behind and taking my cash with me.

But you could be sure my home brew would never run out.

@Aussiemandeus

Is it a requirement to merely "present" I.D. or are the details of the I.D. also recorded at the POS?

Come to think of it, aren't they the same thing?

You may have missed aldimobile.com.au

Telstra Network reseller.

Actually, that link looks like it is for "NBN RSP Pricing.xlsx" and Aldi doesn't sell that, so...

Ya gotta link?
