Labors was way more juicy. For extra lols they brought back the guy they axed in the first place

Abbott might not be ideal but the public need to wake up to the need for budget cuts or we gonna end up like Greece. Heck Id take a labor gov provided they take some action to reverse the debt trend - but we know that'll never happen they are like women - spenders

Something something Turnbull likely.. something something fighter jets. Who's asleep?

This is the problem with younger generations they don't actually see the importance of who and how the country is run..

I blame the education system.

^^ wasn't pickin on ya man just a generic statement and it's sadly quite accurate young people have no idea about politics God half of them think when the government pays its like its the governments own money as if it's a income generating business not the people's money

If Turnbull gets back in it's practically the same scenario... remember he WAS pushed out by Abbot. Albeit in opposition but it's errily similar.

What really f**ks me off is that at half a mill a year we will most likely be paying for 4 pm's that either weren't voted in or were ditched. That's $2m a year for life for a bunch of flogs that couldn't lead their way out of a wet paper bag.

Also you do realise that the whole budget surplus thing is not actually as important as it is made out to be by the LNP right? It's mostly just their current election strategy. Sure it's preferable but all it really means is our projected spend is less than our projected income. Even surplus budgets when actioned can still leave the country in debt and often do not actually result in cessation of borrowing, (especially when we buy EXTRA shiny fighter jets)

What really matters is that we see infrastructure projects implemented, economic growth driven and those that need it helped while working towards a balanced budget in the future (when the economy is better positioned.)

There is NO need to have it sorted by 2018, other than for the purposes of re-election.

What we need is a very centre right government. Unfortunately that is just not an option at ptesent.

so went to refuel car on freeway.

fire brigrade blocking road.

seems some tourists in their rental van put diesel in instead of petrol, so on exit to station at freeway,

just out and think lets drain the tank that will fix it, 100 Litres of diesel all over the road...

van still stranded on on-ramp to freeway as well.

The jets thing is a lefty go to option to pick on libs the fact is they were allocated for like a decade ago.. And national security isn't a bad idea imo.

you can't deny we are living in the age of entitlement and welfare and its completely unsustainable in its present state and set to only worsen.

budget may not need fixing in the next two years but action needs taking now not when we are further down the drain with no way out

The jets were budgeted for years ago and both parties were committed... but then we went and ordered 58 more.... it's a LOT of money that could have been better appropriated.

Yes it's an age of entitlement, no one can doubt that, but we need to have welfare, it's simply not avoidable

I agree we need to look into fixing the budget, but the approach has been deplorable and has also all but guaranteed a Labor government will return very shortly.

The policy's to fix the budget have t been that bad.. Students should pay interest on hecs loans the loop holes and outstanding balance is ridiculous

Paying $7 to see a doctor? No problem with that either

Despite what labor and the greens want us to believe there simply isn't enough rich people / corporations to slug more taxes on to cover the bill. Middle & low income will always feel the pinch as they are the most dependent and largest tax base and as much as they whinge figures showed after rebates / deductions they were taking out more than they put in...

unless you have a healthcare card/pension card then yes you should be paying this.

still some of the cheapest health care in the world.

    • Welcome Leigh. While it's possible someone knows something about your car, there are so many in the country, it's likely they won't. Either way, I hope you enjoy it and find the knowledge you seek here.

    • So next year I am looking at upgrading from my VE SS bomadore ute to something more refined.  I wanted to stick with a V8 but not anything German or Australian, either a coupe or a sedan. So if I wanted anything newish that limited my options to either the Lexus RCF which I quite like. But with the price they demand and a kid on the way a 2 door coupe is probably not going to be the best idea. The next best thing would be the ISF but the newest models are 2014 and commanding over 60k and even the older 2008 models in ok condition starting around 35k is kind of bullshit. So I figured if I could not have the noise I could perhaps make do with easy power. Enter the infinity Q50 or Skyline equivalent. The price difference between the 300 and 400hp models seems a bit crazy. Right now there is 300hp Q50 one on carsales from a dealer with 61km for 27k drive away. If I wanted to get a 400hp Red or 400R car the prices seem to start at 43k From my limited research it seems that the only differences are that the 400r/Red Red runs more boost and a more aggressive tune. There are are turbine speed sensors on the turbos. Has 2 pumps for the water to air intercooler. Runs an engine oil cooler. I'm guessing that the exterior trims might look a little more sporty as well. I had a lazy look for upgrades to bridge the gap on z1motorsports They have kits that upgrade the water to air heat exchanger as well as the coolant pump which should give a non Red/400r better intercooling temps than the stock Red/400r. I added an engine oil cooler with a thermostat as well to try and make things as close as possible. Obviously the ECU is going to need a tickle. Having not done much in the way of research they also sell a ECU flashing tool with pre loaded tunes that are supposed to boost the non Red/400R by 100hp which adds 1k USD to the cost. The total cost of the parts @ the current time including shipping and taxes worked out to be $4350 AUD. Personally I would rather get the car tuned on a dyno which would probably add more cost Assuming the worst that you got a workshop to install the new parts I would guess no more than 5 hours would be required in the worst case @ 5 x $150 per hour = $750 So the total cost could be around $5100 So for easy number 5k + 27K = 32k I guess that would leave some change left over to swap out the open diff and fit a LSD Any thoughts?      
    • Right, not sure why I thought it to be a lean spike. It might be fixable with modern card-style hot film MAFs which have some design features to avoid counting reversion flow but I've never tried it myself.
