THIS WEEK IN AUSTRALIA [100]

[@Goatcha_M]

Firearms offences are taken seriously in Australia. It's not a catch and release system or a Laissez-faire approach like the USA with its "Right to Bear Arms" and 2 mass shootings per day. There is a law that says you may carry licensed firearms in your stowed luggage, although you may have to inform the Pilot of the ammunition, however that is different to customs laws, and of course she would need to be a member of an Australian gun club to get a pistol licence and without that owning a pistol is illegal.

[@smalltime0]

You'd also need a special import license depending on what that magazine capacity is. Also apparently the ammo she brought with her wasn't the same calibre as the gun... So it's not like she was going to shoot anyone.

[@aarons6935]

I own two rifles for going hunting on a friends property as you can't hunt on crown land. Owning property or knowing someone with property to use the weapon on is a factor too.

[@Goatcha_M]

@@smalltime0 If it was the wrong calibre that just makes it more sus in my opinion, especially as she claimed it was for self defence. And the gold plating? That's doesn't fit with the protection story. Anyway, courts sorted it out, but yeah, police might let a young woman go with a warning for pepper spray, but firearms are another story.

[@smalltime0]

@@Goatcha_M Pepper Spray is illegal to bring into Australia, even if it is legal in WA. So if she had gone into Perth with Pepper Spray it would've been a caution and confiscation because it's at least a good faith misunderstanding. But everywhere else it is illegal so she'd have copped a fine.

[@Goatcha_M]

@@smalltime0 Possibly a fine yes, but unlikely to get jail time. I'm far from an expert, I just know from my time working a Departures security checkpoint that if we found illegal items such as pepper spray or credit card knives we had to inform the police and the person was detained until the police dealt with it. As long as there were no other issues they generally got to fly when the police were finished, the items confiscated. I don't know whether fines were levied, outside of my area. But if we found a firearm or IED, that would be a different matter entirely.

[@SehrynBelle]

I don’t love it when Americans call our hundreds and thousands ‘sprinkles’. I hate it even more when younger Australians call them that because I feel our uniquely Australian lexicon is being hijacked by Americanisms. We do call teeny tiny mini coloured sugar logs ‘sprinkles’ and the same equivalent shape in chocolate are called ‘chocolate sprinkles’, but hundreds and thousands are not ‘sprinkles’ in Australian vernacular

[@Fiona-zc6oz]

He said that's all he can get ;)

[@pauldobson2529]

100s and 1000s are a different shape from sprinkles. Ours are little spherical thingies, sprinkles aren’t spherical. The 11 cent difference wasn’t tax, it’s the surcharge charged by the credit card people. It ranges from the .7% to near 2%.

[@michellewest3404]

Hundreds and Thousands are not uniquely Australian, it's actually a British term that is also used in Australia and New Zealand.

[@realriki]

Sprinkles are definitely different to hundreds and thousands. Sprinkles are cylindrical while hundreds and thousands are round.

[@carmenbyrne6521]

As a retired teacher, let me tell you that Americanisms are rife. In my opinion, it began when the government accepted international ads on television, and no longer dubbed them with Australian accents. Teenage girls appear to be the major culprits. There are so many examples. It's interesting that many countries, insist on retaining their own vernacular. Nothing against Americans, but we need to keep our own identity.

[@michellewest3404]

Ryan was jumping all over the article about the gun being brought to Australia. By just pausing and reading the whole article it said that she knowingly brought it in for protection and also that in recent years she has been using psychedelic drugs, synthetic cannabis and methamphetamine. No way is she getting back into Australia.

[@Michelle-s4z]

So she wanted to bring a gun into Australia for "protection" against the massive amount of gun crime we don't have*. Note I said we don't have a MASSIVE amount of gun crime.

[@tanyadolan7560]

At the local Coles the Supervisor ran through the parking lot to return a lady's bankcard to her. After the lady was at the self-checkout, she went to pay but realised that she had left her card at home. She asked the Supervisor if she could leave the items to retrieve her card and return for them, the Supervisor agreed, even at 8:30pm. It was about that time that I walked up to the supervisor with a lost bankcard that I found in one of the aisles. She immediately put two and two together and ran after the lady, catching her just as she about to get into her car. Thought that I'd throw a good story for Coles! PS: I prefer self-checkout myself!

[@pconroy77]

Thank you. As someone who used to work at self checkout I loved it and my customers loved it. We were taught to engage and treat our self checkout customers well. But I agree that the stores also need regular checkouts. It should be about more options not limiting them

[@bhsaproduction]

Gout Gout was born in Ipswich QLD, his parents migrated to Aus in 2005. For those of us who don't follow T-&-F, his name hit the news this week with this fantastic run. Not only did he beat Peter Norman's long-standing record; but he's being compared to Usain Bolt. In case you forgot - Peter Norman took Silver in 1968 @ Mexico Olympics & famously joined the "Black Power" protest with Tommie Smith & John Carlos (both were pallbearers @ Norman's funeral). As an Aussie, GG will be able to run in local, national & international heats over the next couple of years and the Commonwealth Games in 2 years (before the next Olympics)

She should of got more prison time and never allowed back in this country. To want to keep it under a car seat so it available at any time, shows intent to have it ready to use. This was not a mistake, her motivation was to use it if she wanted to. Disrespect of our laws and putting our citizens at risk. Throw away the key.

[@Seajack64]

Her consistently poor judgement and decisions combined with the obvious lack of regard for Australian law should be enough to deport on the ground of presenting a threat to the Australian people. I've seen videos of how road-raging US Americans use their 'passenger seat' guns on the highway... It's terrifying. I disagree about throwing away the key though -- a life sentence to prison is excessive.

Life Sentence paid by the Australian taxpayer. No thanks.

[@ryanreaction]

Yea she seems crazy!

[@buddingnaturalist]

@@ryanreaction THis is sad, she should've just been kicked out and the gun confiscated (and sold on police auction thereafter). I think she's an idiot. You can carry firearms in Victoria (differs by state) if you have a license and the item (and ammo) are cased and stored separately and out of sight in your vehicle. Handguns are more restricted than long arms but this seems like overkill. I don't think she was coming here to conduct a massacre. Just a weird person. No reason to waste taxpayer $ on housing, feeding and transporting her here. What a waste.

[@jaimes350]

this is what happens when you are so entitled you think your rules and laws aplie world wide. she should be counting her lucky stars as The maximum jail term for importing an illegal firearm into Australia is 10 years, or a fine of up to 2,500 penalty units, or both. As of July 1, 2023, a fine of 2,500 penalty units was equivalent to $782,500

[@annavanwyk9349]

Most Australians are pretty gun innocent, I know that I have never seen a handgun and I doubt that I would be alone. We would very much like it to stay that way.

​@@blitzrc4713 actually, neither have I seen a gun; the police don't walk around with a gun on display, in their hand. My only experience of using a "gun", was having a water pistol fight, with my grandson. My daughter had an American exchange student, who was planning a night out with some uni friends. She was openly putting a knife in her bag. My daughter made the Australian rule on concealed weapons clear, and that if caught, she could be sentenced to a gaol term. She found that the night out was quite enjoyable, and safe.

[@alwynemcintyre2184]

Oh won't be let back in now she has a criminal record for weapons charges, probably won't be let into a lot of other countries because of it as well. Would guess her pistol would have been destroyed, all she had to do was check what you can and can't bring into the country it's on the website.

The invoice makes sense: $14.50 is the total. The gst is a portion of the $14.50. It needs to be written that way so GST can be calculated at the end of the tax year. It’s not additional. It’s a component of the total. $14.61 likely refers to the fact they are paying via PayPal or zip money or some outside source that includes a surcharge.

[@Soupie62]

Australia does not "add" tax at checkout, like USA does. Instead, they show how much was GST (Good & Services Tax). If you are a business, you can buy goods GST exempt (or be refunded at tax time), to avoid the tax compounding as items trade hands. So GST needs to be listed on a receipt.

[@skarmex3439]

The gun lady’s statement was pretty wild - she said she packed it last minute for self defence not that she’d shoot anyone with it just pistol whip then maybe shoot. She also bought the wrong ammo for the weapon. Now of all guns in Australia- handguns are the ones that are well and truly banned except for law enforcement agencies. She’ll serve her sentence then get deported and banned from ever coming back & with that on her international history a lot of other countries won’t let her in either

[@michellewest3404]

She won't be "deported" she will be "removed", a criminal deportation only happens when a sentence of 10 years or more is given. I'm sure it will adversely effect her international travel to many countries but not as severely as being deported.

[@8023120SL]

A point of correction, there are plenty of registered, approved pistol clubs around Australia and these are the only places you can legally use a pistol and then only for competition purposes. There's a whole raft of additional regs a licensed pistol owner must comply with after the rigorous licensing process which you must begin with.

The sales tax in most of the world is shown on receipts but is already included, so that you know that you paid 14.50 fpr something OF WHCH 1.32 is tax.

[@t.a.k.palfrey3882]

Yes, this is done in the UK, in Canada, and throughout the EU too. The tax is itemised so that foreign tourists who buy big ticket items may reclaim the tax once they leave. As the taxes are chiefly used to provide services to residents (healthcare, public safety, education, etc) we feel it unfair that overseas visitors should pay for services they won't receive.

[@lorrainenovelle-ph1ke]

The 00.11 cents, will be the cost of using the card to pay, charged by the bank or card people.

[@judithstrachan9399]

That’s right. Price before tax would be $13.18. Plus $1.32 tax = $14.50. We usually don’t even think about “price before tax” because almost all our prices are shown GST inclusive. BTW, we don’t pay GST on unprepared food items (or, think, bread & milk). Basically, if it can be used as an ingredient, it’s probably GST free. THAT caused a bit of a fuss because, at first, cold cooked chooks were GST free (for use in casseroles, sandwiches….) but we paid GST on hot ones. I don’t remember how it was resolved, I think we don’t pay it. We definitely do on the chips & coleslaw that come with the chook. It all settled down in the end & we’re fine now, don’t even think about it.

[@judithstrachan9399]

Your card issuer, or the shop, should have explained if a card will attract a surcharge. Our local corner store (BEST burgers!) has a sign. (I just remember to pay cash there. Mostly.) It’s usually 1 - 5% &/or on a minimal amount, eg “under $5”, or “for American Express cards”. It’s illegal to charge a high credit card fee. Even for Amex.

[@xDMG15x]

The receipt says that the bill was paid with CASH. If the 11c is a surcharge it should be on the receipt like always. Banks in australia never charge a transaction fee to the customer for domestic payments. If the 11c is a surcharge, its a 0.76% surcharge, which seems like an unlikely number for a cafe to charge. Something sus is going on with that payment.

Generally a criminal deportation only happens when a jail sentence of 10 years or more is given. In her case she would have just be made to leave after her jail term ended. It's a subtle difference between being removed from a country, or deported. If you are deported you have to declare it to any country you try to visit and will pretty much mean you can never travel internationally again. The scary thing in Australia is permanent residents who haven't taken up Australian citizenship can be criminally deported after a long jail term, meaning there has been people (usually British or from New Zealand) who come to Australia as babies or young children and find as an adult they are deported to a country they have never lived in.

[@Notric]

The GST Tax is in the price of each item - the $14.50 includes the $1.32. So without the GST it would be $13.18. Ten percent of that rounds up to $1.32. The tax is on nearly everything so it is already in the price. Then the bank has added 11 cents surcharge for paying with a card. CASH is KING!

woolworths recently refurbished our 7 year old local store and removed the 3 x 12 items at the service counter and converted into a normal line, removed 3 other normal lines so they could add more self serve, can't wait for next weeks pre Christmas chaos, complete lack of customer service

Good news Ryan, the girl with the gold gun won't be coming back to Australia, she now has criminal record, so her future visa applications will be rejected, also no longer eligible for visa on arrival. Might will also impact her ability to travel to other countries?

[@PiersDJackson]

The woman with the gun... she was arrested almost immediately upon arrival, her four month sentence would include time served in detainment - so possibly half the time before sentencing, then arrangements to be made for repatriation (deportation) and then being banned from Australia and possibly commonwealth - even on layover.

The extra on the bank statement was almost certainly a bank charge, eg for using a credit card. This has become more common in Australia recently. ie the cost of the drinks was 14.50, which included the GST. Then the bank added a "processing" charge, for transferring the money. The shop would never have been aware of that extra charge.

There will be a sign in the shop stating that there is a surcharge on eftpos transactions. It does not have to be on the invoice but it does have to be displayed in the store.

[@bhsaproduction]

GST (Goods & Services Tax) is charged on most food items and services provided. This is included in the listed price (with the exception of some fresh/unprocessed whole foods which are exempt), however - the total GST amount is listed on the docket so you know what tax you've paid and if applicable, what you can claim back in your tax return [ie a small cafe buying groceries to include in the meals they sell]. As this was from a small coffee shop - the tax invoice / bill, may have been given to the customer at their table & when they went to pay - possibly used a card that incurred a processing fee. As long as the fee was disclosed before the transaction or the order was placed, this is fine.

[@judithstrachan9399]

I think that’s the trouble. If it’s a credit card charge by the shop, they should have told the customer. If it’s a later charge, the customer is still supposed to be told by the person/ organisation applying the charge. The bank should be able to find out, but do we bother for 11c?

[@bhsaproduction]

According to ACCC website - A business can add a surcharge for paying by card, but no more than the cost they incurred. The business must be able to prove the cost it's based on. If payment options without a surcharge aren't offered, they must include the surcharge in the displayed price. The ave surcharge costs (according to RBA) are Eftpos:

Under Australian law, she'll be automatically deported as soon as she's finished serving her sentence. Also, the fact that she made it all the way to Australia with the pistol means that US Border agents - or whatever you call them - let her board the plane with it over in the US. Hmmmmmm...

[@lionelmrocki7955]

US is not responsible for administering the laws of destination countries. It's up to passengers to be across the restrictions in their destination countries. In the plane, passengers headed for Australia complete a customs declaration. Being untruthful on that declaration is serious business.

[@mistamichal]

@@lionelmrocki7955 no but they are responsible in their own country. When she entered the airport in America, the authorities there should have arrested her for trying to take a gun out of the country or are you saying that's perfectly legal over there?

[@realriki]

On the Coffee Club receipt and bank statement - the GST is included in the price, the receipt just shows how much it is (as it is 10% of the amount and it is listed as $1.32, then the amount before GST would have been something just under $13.20). The extra 11c is likely a credit card surcharge which the Coffee Club has passed onto the customer at transaction time. It should have shown up on the credit card machine but not necessarily on the receipt.

[@ian1282]

[@briantayler1230]

Forget about our strict gun laws introduced after Port Arthur. Those laws are about long firearms. Pistols have been illegal in Australia since colonial times. Prior, you could carry a rifle down the main street of Brisbane; no one would care as long as it was wrapped in paper. Having a pistol was always "being in possession of a concealable weapon."

[@el-violador]

14:34 that extra charge will be a surcharge from the bank. Some places have a pointless surcharge for pay wave or and other such methods of paying (the vending machine at my workplace has a 25 cent add on for card). It usually is written on the checkout somewhere. That's why it came from the bank and not the receipt

[@lynneclarke6265]

The GST one - the sales tax is always shown separately right down the bottom of the receipt. However the GST is INCLUDED as part of the cost of the meal. So it shows up twice on the receipt. There’s been a bit of a storm about banks charging people to access their own money. There are changes in the wind - eg ATMs are likely to be fee free.

My first job out of High School here in Australia 39 years ago, was collecting trolleys and packing groceries for customers at the local Supermarket. 35 years later I was standing in line at the Checkout at my Local Coles Supermarket (FYI all the staff there know me and what I used to do, I have shopped there for almost 25 years) and I was listening to a Millenial complain about how long it was taking to get through the checkouts. I sympathised with her and told her I had come up with a Marvellous Idea to make the process Faster. When she asked what it was I told he "We need to get young men who have just left school and have them stand at the end of the Checkouts packing your groceries so the Cashier doesn't have to do it." She thought this was a Genius Idea and asked where I came up with it from and the Cashier told her, "He's Trolling you love, thats what they used to do about 30 years ago and it was his first job." Laughing her head of the entire time. Strangely enough the customer was not impressed.

Ryan, that receipt and all shopping receipts show the total cost and indicate the GST which is included before the $14.50 total. It’s not added on at the register, it’s just informing you of the amount.

Local Fish & Chip Shops are the best fast food in Australia. They can be run by people of any nationality, which makes each one different. In the 60's/70's/80's, they were run by Italians, Greeks & Anglos. In the 90's/00's more and more were being run by Middle Eastern & Asian people. Basically home made, better quality, quantity and variety.

[@infin8ee]

That's English cut bacon. Milk Bar or fish shop take aways (if you know the right ones) are usually the best.

[@SharlzG]

The tax is included in the purchase price, but by law they have to break down the item price, tax, and total cost on the receipt/invoice (this is for many reasons including if it's a business charge, they need to declare the pre tax) The reason the bank statement will be different is bank eftpos charges - the banks charge the retailer to use the eftpos service and they oncharge that to the customer (they will have a notice at the register declaring this). Since this is not to do with the items/service purchased, but to do with the customers' use of the eftpos system, it does not appear on the retailers' till receipt. It will only appear eftpos docket. So actually the documents they posted are correct. The till receipt will exclude eftpos charge, and the bank statement will include the eftpos charge, hence the higher amount on the statement. The main issue in this case is with the financial institutions, not the retailer, and whether the eftpos charges by them to the retailer are reasonable.

[@Dasyurid]

The tax on the receipt isn’t to be added to the $14.50, it’s just informing you how much of the $14.50 is Goods & Services Tax. If you’re registered for GST and the receipt is for something you can claim back then it makes life a little easier if it says how much GST you paid when you’re adding them all up to full in your BAS (Business Activity Statement) for the ATO (Australian Tax Office). Yeah, we can do lots of TLAs too. The 11¢ increase seems to be just a surcharge for paying on a credit card. I believe it’s totally legal as long as they have a sign up somewhere close to the card machine warning you about it. Quite often you’ll pay a surcharge for using contactless payment, including things like Apple Pay, but won’t pay anything extra for putting your card in the machine and selecting Cheque Account. I think it’s because contactless payments go through the credit card system and the shops all get charged merchants fees for processing credit card payments, but don’t get charged for debit cards that take the money from your everyday bank account.

Rouse hill coffee club......! Hey that's my suburb... 😳😂 To put the gun in context, we are not allowed to just travel with guns, it has to be for a reason.. I have 3 rifles and all the permits to posses, shoot and hunt with them, but if I just put one in the car and go shopping, visit a mates place and get checked by the police at a random stop and they see it, I loose all my permits for 10yrs and if another member of the family didn't have the same permits they would confiscate and destroy the guns in 14 days.... So if she had gotten away with it and had it out in public it would definitely freak people out, as pistols have even tighter restriction to usage and carry, strictly from home to range and back again, any deviations from this route would be loss of permits and confiscation of pistol..!
