Howard's a lying smug fu(ktard, Rudd will be a lying smug fu(ktard.

Yeah the ecconomy might go to shit with Rudd but at what cost does it do well with Howard. Can't afford a house, inflation it at it highest ever....and tax cuts, what a fu(ken laugh, we get tax cuts, then people spend more, we are no better off. It's one big fu(ken scam.

DONKEH for the win!

I think i'll vote Rudd at this stage for a few reasons;

1. Educatuion policy, I think university should be free, howard has made the system user pays and hence O/S students are buying our uni places.

2. Howard is a liar, plain and simple.

3. Howards IR laws disadvantage those who can least afford it, people who depend on penalty rates, loadings ect.

4. Rudd is addressing climate change, Howard wont even ratify Kyoto!

Thats said I am not 100% behind Rudd, I will continue to watch the campaign closely.

Howard.

We can't ratify Kyoto without severely disadvantaging ourselves in the global economy against higher polluters.

Ratifying Kyoto is simply a political point, and I completely agree with Howard's attitude to this.

If you've ever been in a business where idiots who do nothing, constantly mess up and basically fleece the employer because its so difficult to sack them you will be all for IR reforms.

BASS OUT

Hmm, interesting.

1. The Hawke/Keating government introduced the HECS (Higher Education Contribution Scheme) which means if you go to uni you pay the tax man. Plain & simple. O/S (full fee paying) student have been at our unis for many, many years. Good on them. Why should they be denied an education as well?

2. All politicians are liars. Plain & simple. Actually they are not. If you (or anyone else) had everything they ever said scrutinised & debated & misrepresented then you too (& me & everyone else) would be termed a liar. Rudd has the advantage of not having been around long enough to have piled up baggage.

3. Howard fkd up on the first change when they introduced the AWA's. But now that they have implemented a no disadvantage test covering the most important benifits you can't get little of no compensation for trading your penalty rates etc. Try working on a salary - you don't get any O/T, penalty rates or anything other than your salary. Not everyone works on wages or can even get access to AWA's.

4. Kyoto is a lame duck. Ratifying it will make bugger all difference. If Rudd had any bollocks he wouldn't be banging on about a target in 2050 - thats what four changes of government & 15 elections away. He would map out a short term target (say every year until 2020) & set out how he would achieve it. So would Howard. But they are both too gutless.

To finish: what I hate the most about this election is the me too, cloning that is going on in the policy areas. Weak as piss.

Wait, Labor is going to make uni spots free and stop international students? Where'd they say that and as if that makes any sense.

Rudd's not a liar though, hard to lie when you never answer a question.

You CANNOT be stripped of penalty rates, loading etc without compensation.

Rudd hasn't addressed anything, he's crapped on about studies that they commisioned that won't tell him anything until it will mean very little to this election. All he has done is made promises about carbon emissions when he'll most likely be dead.

    • I mean it's probably likely that people overestimate their skills in dialling in a setup and noticing the changes. I had SK shocks and springs, and added heavier springs and got them revalved by Sydney Shocks to suit based upon what I told them I wanted the car to handle like. I got back a completely different feeling set of shocks, which probably (?) feel great on track but holy hell are they rough on tram tracks and the like. The shock dyno actually looks pretty similar to Shockworks (from what I can surmise from a screenshot of a youtube video - and my dyno printout...) Truth be told I doubt I'd be any faster or slower with either setup, or camber/castor combination. I also had whiteline eccentric castor bushes up front of my R34. I removed them and put in poly non-adjustable ones to soothe my OCD (nobody ever set the castor the same side to side, and it'd be near impossible to do) and be happy the wheel is centered in the well now for clearance reasons. Yes I wanted it to move 1mm 'back' :p I've effectively set my castor back to stock, negating all the benefits of that which is supposedly massive. I've probably also altered toe and camber in a negative (detrimental) way. I can't tell any difference steering the car.
    • You reckon? I have to disagree. Notwithstanding that at some point we may all be forced to do this to our cars if we want to keep driving them, there is absolutely nothing about an electric-converted-previously-IC-car that is ever good. EVs that are built by OEMs on platforms that were originally IC already suck, let alone the shitty outcomes that result from doing it as a retro to something that was actually built as an IC car. This is because the platform really needs to be designed to house the battery in a useful place (ie, down as low as possible) and the motors are properly located relative to the wheels that they have to drive. Converted platforms already suck at this. But when you try to shove sufficient battery capacity into a previously IC car, you can't put it down on/in the floor, because that space doesn't exist. You can't find enough space where the fuel tank used to be (if it is an inboard fuel tank) and you don't want to hang it out behind the rear axle line if you had a rear fuel tank. And there's not enough space in the tunnel if you still want to use it for anything remotely like what it was originally used for. The engine bay is too big for a motor, and you'd really prefer that the motor for the rear wheels wasn't in the front engine bay anyway. And there's not enough room where the diff was for a proper man-sized E motor. And then.... there is the complete lack of soul and emotion that is provided by EVs. There are some cracking restomods out there. Like the Alfaholics GTA thingo. But it is petrol powered. Look at the alternative EV version of a GTA restomod by Totem. it is jaw droppingly beautiful. But by all reports is is objectively awful to drive, despite having 600 HP or something, simply because there is nothing there. It sounds like a sewing machine or a leaf blower. It should scream and wail and make the hairs on your neck stand up. Oh, and it's 1500 bloody kg in a car that was <900kg when new. GTRs are heavy enough as it is without pushing them up to 2tonnes worth of pork.
    • https://www.dezeen.com/2025/01/06/nissan-electric-r32-skyline-gt-r-godzilla-sports-car/   I reckon this is pretty cool. Lots of other Resto mods have turned to ev power.
    • hahaha @joshuaho96 the most action it gets is when I have to drive from West to SE VIC to meet the fam. Even then, it;s on highway cruising speeds
    • don't know anyone in this thread, but i just found it, read the entire thing in a few hours, realized greg is still posting progress, and just have to say, this is awesome. it looks awesome. 100% right about the Uras kit making it a pain to get on hoists...have the same kit on my 34 and it takes six 2x4s and race ramps to do it without taking parts off. this reminds me exactly of this thread. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/build-projects-and-project-cars/r63-amg-the-unicorn-of-my-destruction/110824/page8/
