    Fiji and money

    Reviving thread, as there were no answers do you have any tips? I'll be on a boat for most of the time but seems like still need cash, even for a taxi? I was thinking of using an ANZ or Westpac card at the airport atms, or Macquarie anywhere else.

    So still much lower than what they put on Australia (with a FTA) wine. Where are the adults.

    My experience in post 1122. If you phone them I'd be interested in whether you're advised the same.

    Yes but it will be a new normal, with winners and losers and obviously that's what we're trying to pick. Disrupt, then take advantage of that..."negotiate". And speaking of losers, I have no sympathy for EU agricultural if something happens there, I recall what their protectionism did to...

    Star SGR lodged an asx announcement, got $300m from Bally, looks like it will survive with existing shareholders relinquishing 70% (and paying 9% interest). A good outcome under the circumstances, better than the Chinese offer. All still subject to, approvals...blah blah

    Yes on the flip side, some US imports from Australia will now be RELATIVELY cheaper than US importing the same goods from most other countries. Opportunity for which asx companies?

    Er, no it's not like for like. GST doesn't distinguish between domestic and imported, so is not an impost on just international trade to favour domestic production.

    Uber drivers at CNS routinely cancelling rides to manipulate surge pricing

    Yes that's annoying, but it seems that in the majority of cases Uber won't let the driver know what they are accepting until after. The rider gets a price, and can take it or leave it. Same for the driver surely. I don't think one should get cranky with a person for refusing to be exploited.

    Uber drivers at CNS routinely cancelling rides to manipulate surge pricing

    That's a bit Rich. No-one should expect a business to run at a loss or work for almost nothing. I think drivers have every right to refuse if Uber have set the price too low (or take too high a cut). The Uber model makes both the driver and rider "price takers" i.e. take it or leave it is the...

    Seems so. But murky if they're applying one's stated overall investment risk appetite to a single investment...eg one might be a conservative investor but still have a small flutter on a startup, or conversely be a big investor in Bitcoin but still want some bank term deposits. Buy on market?

    They've oversold our cruise! And we got the offer!

    Great choices, lucky you! Contrast that with (in Australia) airline notifying you weeks out that J seats are overbooked, and their offer is...🙁 I wonder though after you choose an offer, that it may not necessarily be guaranteed if others get in earlier or select options that are cheaper for...

    Public Transport to our airports - what's cheapest?

    Good question. Anyone? Years since I've done that but would be nice to know if issues arise with the bus.
