Australian tax on tobacco is ridiculous

Gurkha beauty from Baranows in Hawthorn (cheapest) - $81.40 per stick

Gurkha beauty from cigar.com $19.95 per stick - with shipping and tax still won't reach $30

For a box of 25 at Baranows $1800

cigar.com 30 in a mazo - $360 and with tax and shipping tax would be about $160 say $30 shipping $500

Yeah I reckon, and now they cut back what you can bring back to 50g of cigars..... Works out to be 3 pretty much before they tax you at $436 iirc per kg

It's cos we all have to pay for your treatment when you get cancer

If I beleived that I would be happy to have the tax, unfortunately we all know it's 100% revenue raising

case in point...

the govt says it is increasing taxes on cigarettes to stop people smoking, as it is bad for you... however they refuse to make it illegal...

coincedentally, the tax on ciggies, keeps going up in small incriments that are just enough to raise revenue, but not enough to stop people buying ciggies.

Who wants to go out tonight for some northern suburbs trouble making? Its been years, we could go and see what the Epping boys are up to and show them that thomos boss.

Car just decided to not work enroute to vicroads.

I pushed it to a work shop, and said, fix it. I don't give a f**k, just do it.

    • You know the worst thing about acquiring more space for me? I tend to acquire more things to fill the space...
    • Ended up spending a WHOLE day yesterday cleaning and rearranging my shed.  Due to the aforementioned disorder, my shed is as cluttered and confused as my brain. Again, because of said disorder,  at any one time there are 5 projects on the go at once and because they're still on the go I don't put everything away so I can "get straight back to it" which rarely happens.. So anyway,  I bought a couple of cheap 2mx2m all steel "pallet racks" to put in my back shed.  The idea is to then take pretty much everything out of the main shed that isn't car related. Most of the garden and building stuff is now booted out to the back shed and onto to the shelves where they belong! There's still more rearranging and reallocating to do and it's still a bit busy in there but it's a massive improvement on how it was previously. I've discovered floor space I forgot I had...  For those that have fully dismantled a car before will understand just how much space it takes up!  Particularly panels, bumpers, engine/trans, etc.  I've got stuff hanging on every available wall to get it up off the floor!  This is not exciting content for a blog but has certainly made the shed feel like a more work ready space now!
    • Updating results from our ATR43SS-1 turbo in T3 .63, OEM bolt dump pattern. Not a big number but pretty sweet for a stock Rb20det. Car's managed to pull 220rwkws at 20psi, perfect boost control internally gated with EBC and excellent mid top end power band as they usually skydive after 5.5K. Usual bolt on supporting mods and inlet plenum and factory location exhaust manifold. Pump 98 fuel was used (Ron 93).     
    • Yeah, well, it's not as though anyone is ever going to buy one of those noisy f**kers and put it into a new installation when there are better pumps that are near silent for less money from Ti.
    • I'd suggest having the engine builder listen to it, especially if they assembled it, and minimise how much you run it in the meantime. It may have a serious issue like a big end bearing from the description and I assume the rebuild was not cheap
