Mentor type services for kids

Is anyone aware of any mentor type services for kids in Brisbane, preferably Southside? Those I can find on google are targeted to disadvantaged kids.

Lost package – fight it or write it off

Here’s the situation: International student living with me Has ordered goods online to be delivered from China – basic electrical accessories with a combined value of ~$50. Toll left an ‘attempted delivery’ card as signature was required We arranged for re-delivery next day, with authority to leave granted, and signed card left in mailbox for collection by Toll.

It’s an expensive option and I don’t have the money to pay for it unless I borrow from my friends, which I’d like to avoid. My part time job doesn’t pay nearly enough for me to save that much money, as I pay for everything myself. Rent, food, transport,

Random Translink ride costs

I’ve noticed that the charges on my Translink Go card can be random at times. I normally travel between Yeerongpilly and Roma Street and would normally get deducted $3.20 one way. However, sometimes, I get charged under $2.00 while my wife who took the same ride got charged $3.20. It wasn’t off peak at that time either. Has anyone else have that happen to them? Does anyone know what it happens? submitted by /u/maosiemaos [link] [comments]
