Traffic
When you walk on a footpath and a horse ridden by someone is approaching, who should give way?
By law, the rider must give way to any pedestrian on a footpath or nature strip. [Well, if you were unfortunately hit by the horse because the rider had not read this tip, good luck!
Therefore, the legal advice to you is - the rider has to give way; but my personal advice to you is – you better give way first!]
Traffic
If you are a passenger of a bicycle, do you need to wear a helmet?
If you are a passenger on a bicycle that is moving, or is stationary but not parked, you must wear an approved helmet securely fitted and fastened on your head. The exception is you are a paying passenger on a three or four-wheeled bicycle.
Taxation Matters
What is “exempt fringe benefit” which is not assessable income (Income Tax Assessment Act 1997)?
Fringe benefits are not assessable income but reportable in your tax assessment for other purposes. However, some fringe benefits are even exempt and you do not even have to report in the tax assessment. A rarely known example is benefits provided to the religious practitioners in respect of their pastoral duties.
Traffic
What can you do first when you get a penalty notice for a traffic offence?
Surf at the website of State Debt Recovery Office and read the “SDRO Review Guidelines”. For some traffic offences like parking and red light camera, if you have 10 year clear driving record, your penalty may be waived but a caution will be recorded.
Conveyancing
After you have signed a contract to buy a house, can you change your mind?
If it is a residential property, subject to certain exceptions (eg. buy the house by public auction), there is a cooling off period. You may rescind the contract at any time before 5pm on the fifth business day after the day on which the contract was made. However, 0,25% of the purchase price of the house will be forfeited by the vendor.
