The knighting was stupid and just the straw that broke the camel's back. If it had happened 6 months ago no one would have really cared TBH.

It was more about him making a "captains call" than the actual knighthood.

As you said it was totally out of proportion, however he only has himself to blame for that. He has created the hatred by being a complete spanner for a solid 12 months and people are out for blood. TA farts wrong and it will be in the papers now.

I think not knowing the tax free threshold os probably of no consequence to the federal budget or him doing his job should he become treasurer, but as far as public opinion goes it's a disaster lol. It's not hard to remember and he should have known it.

Was nowhere near as good as the George Brandis interview on metadata though.... that was epic

I guess my point is "public opinion" has no real bearing on the ability for the Government to function, or for people to do their jobs.

Given "public opinion" is what dictates whether people stay in their jobs, there's a massive disconnect between people's ability to do their job, and the function that gives them the job.

That's the problem with the entire system.

Spot on because if it was linked to performance we wouldn't have a labor gov for another 100 odd years..

The whole system needs changing libs got voted in fair and square but due to labor and greens can barely get anything done because of side deals the public has no say in.

as much as I hated them, I miss the wasteland posts from randoms asking which car is faster or how to fit 22's.

SAU has matured from school holiday posts to politics :(

Were they ever in VWL?

I'd like to extend this to athletes, television personalities, politicians and pretty much anyone who does anything outside of their place of business that gets used to judge their suitability for a role...when most of the time what they did has zero impact on it and the media are to blame for blowing anything out of proportion.

Worst are football players swearing on the field or doing silly things and the media making front page news of it saying it's a disgrace and the public shoukdnt be exposed to this kind of behaviour, which is why we're exposing it as much as possible DERP

That whole fking Adam Goodes gorilla thing, and the flamin mongrel gets Aussie of the year because of the media and nothing else

Man I reckon goodes looks like an ape but I never knew it was racist till he picked on a 14 year old girl..

Can't stand the bloke turned into the biggest flog in Aus... (After tony abbot amirightguys?)

    • I don't think there's any way someone is push starting this car.. I honestly can barely move it, and moving it and steering it is just flat out not possible. I'm sure it is, but needs a bigger man than me. I have a refurbished starter now. The starter man was quite clear and consise showing me how nothing inside a starter really should contribute to slow cranking, and turned out that for the most part... my starter was entirely fine. Still, some of the wear items were replaced and luckily it didn't show any signs of getting too hot, being unfit for use, etc. Which is 'good'. I also noticed the starter definitely sounded different, which is a bit odd considering nothing should have really changed there.... Removed and refit, and we'll pretend one of the manifold bolts didn't fully tighten up and is only "pretty" tight. GM only wants 18ft/lb anyway. I also found a way to properly get my analog wideband reading very slightly leaner than the serial wideband. There's Greg related reasons for this. The serial output is the absolute source of truth, but it is a total asshole to actually stay connected and needs a laptop. The analog input does not, and works with standalone datalogging. Previously the analog input read slightly richer, but if I am aiming at 12.7 I do not want one of the widebands to be saying 12.7 when the source of truth is 13.0. Now the source of truth will be 12.65 and the Analog Wideband will read 12.7. So when I tune to 12.7 it'll be ever so slightly safer. While messing with all of this and idling extensively I can confirm my car seems to restart better while hot now. I did add an old Skyline battery cable between the head and the body though, though now I really realise I should have chosen the frame. Maybe that's a future job. The internet would have you believe that this is caused by bad grounds. In finding out where my grounds actually were I found out the engine bay battery post actually goes to the engine, as well as a seperate one (from the post) to the body of the car. So now there's a third one making the Grounding Triangle which is now a thing. I also from extensive idling have this graph. Temperature (°C) Voltage (V) 85 1.59 80 1.74 75 1.94 70 2.1 65 2.33 60 2.56 55 2.78 50 2.98 45 3.23 40 3.51 35 3.75 30 4.00   Plotted it looks like this. Which is actually... pretty linear? I have not actually put the formula into HPTuners. I will have to re-engage brain and/or re-engage the people who wanted more data to magically do it for me. Tune should be good for the 30th!
