I asked a bloke at the local tackle shop where he managed to bag a decent feed of calamari and he practically looked at me like I had asked to borrow his car. I get not wanting your local ledge to get completely smashed by crowds but the gatekeeping in the local scene is getting a bit ridiculous lately

Spent twenty minutes looking for a specific screwdriver set today only to find it tucked away on a random end cap nowhere near the actual hand tools. Every store feels completely different

With the Federal Budget confirming that negative gearing will be strictly limited to new builds starting July 1, 2027, the rules state that any established property purchased after 7:30 PM on May 12, 2026, will have its tax deductions completely cut off when the deadline hits next year. Only properties bought before budget night are grandfathered indefinitely. Since the announcement last Tuesday, are you seeing an immediate panic from investors trying to rush through contracts to get that one year of tax grace, or has the announcement completely frozen investor interest in established dwellings?

I see all these blokes on the dam with massive screens basically playing a video game to find every single bass. Part of me wants one but the other part thinks it takes the soul out of actually hunting for the fish. Is it still fishing if you can see them blink?

Every area has good and bad parts but some places still carry reputations from years ago and people never move on from it. Personally I think Goodna cops it a bit unfairly these days. Most people I’ve met there are just normal families and honestly I’ve felt less comfortable in parts of Brisbane before. What suburb do you reckon gets the most unfair reputation?

Looking for somewhere in Ipswich that does affordable custom printing for things like shirts, mugs, and small business bits like flyers or stickers

The stock pops and bangs are already pretty wild. Does aftermarket really add much or just louder? Looking for opinions.

I’ve used both ends of the price range and honestly can’t always tell if the fish care as much as we do, interested to hear if people reckon the extra cost is worth it
