I don't pretend to understand economics, but when the media throw numbers and words around regarding debt, billions, trillions etc... they make it sound like it's a 30 year old couple with a billion dollar mortgage..

But the sure fire way to fix it is to cut everyones wages, because that will surely solve the problem. The big builders will surely lower their prices and pass the savings on to the client..

lol.

Cut tradie wages, f**k paying the ambos more too. But it's all good for real estate agents etc to be earning enough to drive lambos..

Ok so you're just an (admittedly) ignorant socialist.

Personally I'd rather drive the Lambo than have the Lambo laptop, but that's just me :)

Such an uneducated statement. Let me guess your happy to pay ambos more, police more, firefighters more so long as your tax doesn't go up? Tax the rich am I right? Only problem is they don't have enough "rich" people to cover it all..

No disrespect to ambos etc I take my hat off to them but the amount of idiots all saying Yeh pay em more go labor haven't stopped to ask where is labor gonna get the money if liberal don't have it? ... borrow it and go into debt? Raise taxes from their core voter base of course not..

But if you can't see that labor is systemically incompetent then I don't know what to say

I think the Ambo's deserve to be at least paid in line with the other states. But more important than their wages is the hospital situation in general.

If you were in my position 18 months ago, lying on the bed only able to move half your body with a life threatening illness, and that ambulance you called simply wasn't coming... you would have a very different view. 20 f**king minutes. Then when I got to hospital over 4 hours before I could be seen by anything other than a nurse, and the only reason I got treatment then us because I had a seizure.

People are actually dying due to how this situation has been mis-handled... it's not even something that needs questioning, it should just be done. Period.

And if you want ideas as to where to get the money from, I would suggest that we probably need Ambo's and hospital beds more than the extra PSO's we got instead under Napthine.

Also, why do you assume that because I disagree with a few specific policies of the LNP that makes me a stereotypical extreme lefty? There are plenty of things I don't like about policies on both sides. I vote on current issues, not stereotypes and propaganda... Hell I have even voted liberal previously when they presented a better option.

Seems to me I'm not the one making the uneducated statements...

Yes but you like pulsars and not-Meisters, so I fear any advice I give will fall on deaf ears (or blind eyes, as it were)

The S15 is back up for sale due to a massive timewaster. The same guy who made an underhand deal last year to screw me out of buying my black R34 back.

If I knew it was you Brown Ross, I never would have dealt with you. But you knew that, that's why you sent in your mate to say he was going to buy my S15. I knocked back everyone who wanted to buy my parts and the car for three weeks, stripped off the parts you didn't want, only to have you say today you don't want it anymore. All while puppeteering your mate so I wouldn't know it was you. I'm tired of your shit. Stop screwing with me.

For everyone else, the car and parts are back up for sale:

Well I see ya fb posts and they always cater to left & greens 100% of the time

Can we not forget ambos are on circa 100k & 10 weeks leave with Andrews promising 6% increase and a 3k sign on I hardly feel they are horribly underpaid

Lol this is liberal propaganda 100%

Ambo's arent on 100k or even close. If they were I wouldn't give a shit about their wages.

Thats laughable. The average ambo takes ~ 70k gross. To get to 100k is someone that has been with the service for like a decade and had duties well above and beyond being a simple paramedic. With a burnout rate of approx 2-3 years there are very very few Ambo's that make more than average wage.

That $100k figure was a straight lie said in an interview by David Davis and has been debunked many times since.

Also if you think about it, my facebook posts have really only been about federal issues, and to that end they haven't really even been anti liberal as such... Anti Abbott, Morrison and Hockey yes, but all but the absolute most die hard of LNP fanbois now admit those 3 are complete clowns. (Although I understand the confusion here)

The only victorian issue I have commented on was the ambulance thing and to be honest I didn't really have a problem with the Napthine administration save for a few minor issues I would have with any political party.

You also don't see me defending the desal plant for example. That was a major major stuff up fron the prev government.

Lol hence my brown ross comment

I reckon they earn it. High stress job on shift work. Rotating 12hr day and night shifts. I know a couple of paramedics, some dropped out due to stress issues and rest dont have much of a life. You could probably go work on a mine site as a paramedic for better money and do very little in comparison...

But that applies to just about any profession on a mine site. So far ive almost been impressed with the knowledge and work ethic of maybe less than 5 individuals. The rest are so slow, lazy or incompetent (usually all 3) its no wonder this job is $3 billion over budget lol

poorly maintained

this....

the budget as it is, isnt enough to maintain what they have, let alone build billions of dollars wrth of ships...

however a few million of that billion, has come thru my company, and in part been passed to the local community, employees, local charity, my football club.

so some of it does trickle down mate, but not alot.

Damn straight they earn it. Majorly shit job.

I was actually enrolled to Paramedical Science when the bank job came up and I went that way instead. Very glad I didn't continue.

Yeah they earn it no denying it im happy for them to be paid more provided economic conditions allow it and the numbers just don't support it.

Don't forget they get 10 weeks leave compared to everyone else's 4 . Include days off they only work approx 148 days a year - long hard days no doubt but comeon and side note but vic ambos take an average of 16.4 unplanned days off per year - double SA counterparts

Also they get a $9000 tax benefit average joe does not get so another leg up there.

*stats are from 2013 newest I could find

    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
    • Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
    • Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
    • @KinkstaahKrinkle paint the "silver" alloy, not the red filter frame Engine bay heat won't be a issue worth worrying about as the silver alloy blocks it off on 3 sides, as for the top, the bonnet seals most of it and the big OEM CAI intake snorkel is still fitted in its original position  I will head into Clark's Rubber when I have some time to grab some pinch weld to tidy up the alloy after I paint it As for performance, I honestly wasn't expecting any, the only reason I got it is because the intake noise sounds cool to my old ears when I'm feeding it the beans Sometimes it's the silly things you do in in life that gives the most fun, and I do love anything that makes cool car noises In other news: I survived 4 nights at sea with Jackie not throwing me over board, holidays are continuing now as we are currently chilling at the Beachcomber in Toukley, after taking the coast roads from Sydney in the MX5, top down all the way, Toukley is where I spent a good deal of my youth holidaying during the summer months, there's lots of reminiscing going on,  and lots of beaches and old houses to visit Next on the list is to head to Batemans Bay for a few days, but we will take the Commodore out to stretch its legs, then Commodore hasn't really moved for months
