The past few days I've noticed that there is a speed camera car along one of my main roads and they have their old signs back out. Did this change at the start of the month?
It changed a while ago. I think the end of January.
Now they have to have the 3 signs (1 before, one on the car and one after) like they did before.
To many important people must have been getting booked.
Ah, there you go. Goes to show how often I go through town haha. Thanks for the notice!
No
It's true, they'll add it to the dictionary right after gullible.

No
We should just have suicide booths like in futurama so people can die privately and anonymously.
Hi OP, I am sure many people in this thread, including myself, are interested to learn where you originally heard this from.
Do you mind sharing more information? Thanks!
I have this great bridge for sale in Sydney Harbour I think you would love.
What the unholy fuck?
What dark shithole of the internet did you hear this from?
Snake oil! For all that ails you! A complete cure-all for every mysterious malady!

Is it true that there is no sub where you haven't asked a troll question?
It's true but only applies on days which don't end in the letter 'y', tomorrow is your lucky day.

They both look like shit to me
So you prefer the artificially coloured ones that will go dark brown when cooked, rather than the natural coloured ones that will go golden brown when cooked?
Bro, I don't know how to tell you but fish don't have fingers.
Mmmm shark meat
I miss my toasted fish finger sandwiches --- but when the prices of all the ingredients (bread, FF, artificial sliced cheese, lettuce, etc.) at least doubled, they were no longer the austerity meal.
Coles' brand of FF where always (as in >30 years) better than Woolies - certainly not a case of 'made from the same Chinese factory'. Woolies were smaller, rubber-ier, crumb that only coloured in a deep-fryer (Coles' worked in a sandwich toaster), and were more expensive.
Both look processed af. The Woolworths one, remarkably less so.
Just don’t buy C_les meat. The sludge in the pan is grot.
Personally I avoid anything that comes out of the plastic soup
What sort of madman eats fish fingers from China lol
Atrocious food made in horrendous condition from the left overs of the bottom of the barrel/scrapped off boots
glad you mentioned china. /s
But it’s fish stolen probably from Argentinian waters anyway.
Judging from some of these comments…Social status when eating food. Food from China = poor. Made in Australia = Middle Class. Made in Europe = Rich.
I don't understand why people buy things like this.
You can buy fresh flake/basa at any fish store. Youtube/TikTok have several hundred beyond easy fried fish recipes.
You can make your own fresh, locally made fish fingers for way less and will taste way better.
I’d rather shit in my hands and clap than eat that crap !

I don't like fish fingers but it just looks like different coating
Shark fingers mmmm
What colour do you think flour is?
Cooking makes no difference to the colour (for me.)
The Coles ones are coloured from paprika plus both corn and wheat ard used.
The other is wheat only.
Then who's fingers have I been eating?
Ouh ha ha!
The top ones are supposed to be Alaskan Pollock.
A lot of struggling households do.
Lots of foods are made or processed in China.
Even Snickers bars, at one stage.
they were made in china but sold in coles and woolies
Xenophobia aside I think it's madness the amount of air miles on food and the environmental cost of that.
Woolworths sells oven baguettes made in France, why you can't have a local bakery make that product and save that additional impact is a mystery.
That's incorrect.
An example is Woolworth's generic brand frozen mixed vegetables, which are packed in Belgium and not necessarily the best quality.
Woolworth's also source their generic brand corn flakes from Poland, chickpeas from Italy and some of their Chocolate Hazlenut spreads (generic and other brands) are also from Italy.
nostalgia from childhood. was growing up in near poverty and this was all my family could afford. comfort food.
Money, time, enjoyment, kitchen facilities, preference, etc.
As someone that lives alone, I might pop a few in the mini-oven for 5 minutes while I do other stuff.
I WFH, so it's a easy lunch.
You don't need to actively cook it, or buy other ingredients to mix into making fish cakes/fingers.
Plus I'm not going to buy fresh fish everyweek.
That being said I'd rather buy the bags of frozen fish filets than fish fingers, efor dinners. Even though sometimes that takes me a minute to season before popping in oven. I keep it simple with recipes liek the butter, garlic, and seasonings.

... also wash up is like 1 tray, 1 plate and a fork
Not everyone is moneybags.
There's a lot of people in poverty.
Wait is basa the same as flake?
[removed]
Sounds fishy .. probably a vegan substitute.
Disappointed in the low number of upvotes on this
The guts mixed with a bit of starch.
Yeah sure but fish fingers? Who knows what they are putting in there.
Lol they dont fly them, they freeze them and load up a container
Seems to me everyone I talk on here is way out of my class grew up on these and I love ‘em would easily eat a whole pack myself even with money love me some good fresh fish but these still work
As someone pointed out it's cheaper to make it. Even more so if you bulk prepare and freeze in advance. Enjoyment will be leaps and bounds ahead. I'll admit that the time can be more than microwaving frozen food mainly due to the clean up, however you will get better and more efficient the more you do it.
Pre made is often more expensive...

no - they are different. basa in an asian fish and flake is a type of shark that's caught locally. The other fish that you could buy is cod.
I just named, off the top of my head, some cheap readily available white fish fillets that people could use for easy home cooking.
Flake is Shark
Basa is catfish, usually grown in quite disgusting conditions in Asia.
No. Basa is an Asian fish which has almost no taste.

You ever heard of sausages, mate? It's literally the Australian way to eat mystery bits of an animal packaged in flour and/or the skin or skin-like substitute of that same animal.
Air Miles Sea Miles same same
But not in this case. $4 (now $6) a kilo for store-brand supermarket FF, compared with dodgy Vietnamese Basa that starts at $9/kg, not including the crumb coating, fryer and its oil, and the Glen20 for removing the smell from the kitchen.
Fish fats are good and your not adding any other fats by baking it.
Seasoning and cooking oil cost money. Fish fingers just need the oven, nothing else. They also scale well, it's much easier to feed 11 kids fishfingers and tomato sauce than it is to run an at home fish and chips shop frying frozen fish.
> $4.20 for 375g pack
They were (until recently) $4 for a kilo (or was it 900g?) for Coles' brand FF.
Yeh that was my experience. Kind of watery, soft and tasteless.
5x more, but sure
