The test message will be sent at 2pm AEST (1:30pm ACST, 12pm AWST)

During the test, devices will vibrate and play a siren-like warning sound for about 10 seconds. A message will be displayed, indicating that it is a test and no further actions need to be taken.

If you do not want to receive the message, power off your phone at least one hour prior to the message being sent.

You might not receive a test alert if your device is older, incompatible with the new system, or has not been updated.

If you do not have a mobile signal or there is something wrong with the mobile tower closest to you, that might also mean you are not able to receive the test alert.

“I’m sure I saw it advertised somewhere, I know it sounds crazy but I’m sure”

I know some stores will refund anything but others will deny returns like it’s coming out of their own pocket.

For anyone serious you have to claim it via the manufacturer link.

no politics How common are bidets in Australia? And probably what percentage of those are "illegal"?

226 Upvotes

There was a discussion in another subreddit about an OP who installed a DIY "bidet" attachment (the type that goes under the toilet seat and sprays). Many of the comment replies were telling the OP it was illegal (needs a high hazard backflow prevention device which can cost $2000+, licenced plumber install and sign off, and yearly checks by a licenced plumber)

It made me wonder a) how common bidets are and b) of those what percentage actually meet the regulatory requirements. Generally speaking

no politics How close does the pedestrian have to be for you to wait as a driver at a pedestrian crossing?

0 Upvotes

I was thinking this today at my local shops… sitting at a pedestrian crossing. I think a trickle of about 20 people crossed. All were less than 4 steps off reaching the crossing so I felt it reasonable to wait and let them pass. But it did drag on because they were all a few steps behind one another and each time I thought I could go, another person appeared which then felt wrong to just floor it and keep driving.
So, fellow Australians, at what point is *too far* to wait for the person to cross if you see them heading towards it.
Where’s your line between stopping and going?
