I'm good for a handful of micro USB cables, that's about it.

Officeworks have stopped accepting batteries and general ewaste, at least the ones in the city.

Mobile Muster has drop off points at lots of phone shops, you can also get a free shipping label from AusPost. They take phones, phone accessories, modems, smart watches etc. but do not accept every type of ewaste.

IKEA will take light bulbs and batteries. Officeworks will take ink cartridges and storage media (CDs, hard drives).

Sounds like you've already checked out your local council's service. City of Melbourne will accept larger ewaste at a few locations. If you live in an apartment building you might be able to book an ewaste wheelie bin.

The vast majority of buildings in this particular guide I'm reading seem to have been supplanted. Seems something of a shame but, equally, nothing stops progress.

Any strange Girl coming to Melbourne can visit the Cafeteria here where meals can be got for a small charge

Love reading the online catalogues at SLV. The language of certain decades is so well crafted, particularly with advertising:

Melbourne and suburban hotel, guest and boarding house guide and tourist handbook. Date 1928?

Here's a quote from the ETU:

We've had Royal commissions into the severe misconduct of the banking and finance sector, the Robodebt scandal, and the aged care sector. Each of these Royal commissions had DAMMING FINDINGS, yet NOT ONE person lost their job, NOT ONE company was put into administration, and NOBODY went to JAIL!

The CFMEU on the other hand - one of Australia's strongest unions, is now FORCED straight into administration on the back of a handful of rumours and allegations.

The HYPOCRISY is staggering!!

We call on all jobs to stop at 10am this Tuesday to support the CFMEU and attend a Rally at the State Library[*] 11am sharp!

Let's fight for our wages and conditions!
Let's fight for the future!
Let's all stand together!
SEE YOU ALL THERE!!!!

* Note the venue has genuinely changed to Trades Hall as of about 11 AM today.

Sounds more like a horror.

Oh, you can't redeem a McMuffin using Macca's points anymore. What's the bloody point then.

Well funny you say that, I don't have a TV either. This laptop's screen might do, though...
