Found this. Not sure if you have already seen it but i'm just spreading the love.

Queensland residents draw to the attention of the House the Government's proposal to double the cost of Queensland Drivers Licences to more than $150, making Queensland licences the most expensive in the Nation. These changes, along with hikes in vehicle registration costs, the new State fuel tax, and above CPI increases for tolls make Queensland the most expensive State in Australia to be a motorist.

Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to oppose this massive increase in Queensland Drivers Licence charges.

Here's the link to the petition.

$150 licence cost NO WAY

Apparently it is open to only Queensland drivers. So Karn you good things and get behind it!

Its all tax deductable. :banana::(:)
If its tax deductable, does it matter?

ALSO, how many years does $150 get you?

I think its only tax deductable if you are a b*stard like Tony and get to deduct all your car expenses (depends on your occupation).

$150 is for 5 years AFAIK.

politicians, they lie, they cheat, they suck, they take your money...

/end lesson in life

Truth.

NSW licence for 5 years is around $151... sucks that QLD is raising the price on everything motor related... that's what happens when state governments get the taste of money and become greedy!

I just renewed mine for 5 years.. perfect timing before moving back to NSW in a few months lol

Anywho, while I'm still an official QLD Resident, petition signed!

this is incorrect as someone pointed out below. we will be on par with some other states. NSW is $151 (as posted earlier), and from what i could find SA is also $150 a year.

the way things are going they will have to rename this state to the whinging state. i'm not going to bother signing because like anything involving the government (any government, not just QLD's), it doesn't matter whether we like it or not they will do what they want. also because i refuse to sign a petition where the person starting it doesn't even do the research to see if what they are saying is correct (saying that qld will be the most expensive when it isn't).

I'm also not signing.. only cause it's $30.00 a year.. not a great deal of money really.. Especially when you look at what our cars cost to run..

And most importantly, if they didn't take it from one source, they'll just get our money through another means..

exactly. that's like how people say that they should get rid of the tax on fuel. well if they did then there's a few hundred million dollars less tax that they would then have to get off us by increasing the tax on something else, so at the end of the day you'd still be paying out just as much in tax.

So for those who dont have a house;

* rates up

* water up

* elec up

* insurance up (big time)

* foxtel up (bastards)

* interwebs (steady, yee haa)

* hot dogs up

* frozen fish fillets up (by like 40cents)

* 70 year old men taking Vigria up

* 6 miners killed in the congo up on last year

Its life i guess, everything's going up...

Sory to high jack thread and make it silly, but i felt silly this morning... :P

    • Already looked at a few prior to getting the MX5, really nice car, had all the mod cons, but I wasn't really sold on the new "look" I did miss my 2017 Limited, and I personally prefer the "look" of the older car over the new model, but, when pondering I kept going back looking at MX5's But it was same same for the new ND's, I wasn't sold on the new "look", especially the RF with its weird roof, which only half goes down, like a targa top sort of thing As I stated before, I did look at NC's, but the cars I looked at were PRHT's, but I didn't like their roof line "look" of the PRHT, until I saw the soft top version, (someone on SAU posted a for sale ad for one with a soft top that caught my attention, you can blame them for my choice.....🤣) and.... that old style detachable hard tops were available for them, which keeps the old MX5 more smoother flowing roof line, and the more rounded body style, similar to the NA-NB, to me, the arse end of the ND looks to "modern" Much like how I prefer the NC1 front bar, over the later models How long will I keep this car for is unknown, but currently, there's nothing else out there that "floats my boat" for a small, fun, little "sports car", that I can play with and enjoy looking at and driving But, who knows what the future holds, and going off current new car styling, if I replace it, it will be a older model something something       
    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works! 
    • So, when are you trying the new GR86 or BRZ?
    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
