What's your favourite novel based in our Sunshine State?

I’ve really jumped back into reading as winter tries its best to make its way north again. I really enjoy reading books set in places I have been, especially locations I have recently travelled or been on holiday to. So what I’m asking is – do you know a good book that is set around Brisbane or Queensland that really pushes local culture, references, popular areas/streets/malls? submitted by /u/SkatingGuitarist [link] [comments]

Anybody else had this happened to them? Im absolutely livid, you pay a ridiculous amount for a capped network (Telstra is all we can get from our place) with 25 down and 0.6 upload at off peak times, we get told that they’re finally going to do something about it, and now they go and change it to Mr Fucking Abbott’s Fraudband.

Students: How difficult is it for you to live off Centrelink?

Hi r/Brisbane! I’m a third year student, and I’ve been living off youth allowance and rent assistance for the past three years (the max $ possible). I just don’t find it that difficult to completely live off Centrelink. I grew up in a large family, and we were quite poor. The move to Brisbane was difficult financially, but after setting up, I found myself doing alright. I’d love some different views on this. As a student, what is your situation? How hard is it for you to get by? Any tips for struggling students? submitted by /u/corianderftw [link] [comments]
