Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

Speaking of tax dollars, repeal day was yesterday. What are Mr Ants' thoughts on the matter?

About bloody time!

I welcome these amendments in fact I could almost kiss them.

We live in a really wonderful country that offers incredible opportunities to the ones that are searching for it compared to other well developed countries. HOWEVER, the level of bureaucracy in Australia has been on the rise for quite a number of years and not only is it burdensome to us all but has prohibited Australia to become more competitive as well.

Removal of the so called ‘red tape’ is certainly a welcoming measure and will assist businesses carrying on what they do best and that is concentrating on their business operations.

Australia is simply too highly regulated and having the need to have a watchdog for every sector is simply not viable and canning the watchdog for charities is fine by me especially since the ATO has been already been administering these duties already.

The reduction of compliance requirement within the future of financial advice act (FOFA) is a doubled edge sword though……….I know many financial advisers that do the right thing by their clients and do not even accept commissions and as such would benefit from yesterdays reduced regulation, HOWEVER, it is other gung-ho financial advisers that need such regulations in place to keep them in check. I think that other controls should be put introduced like maybe force each financial advisers (of certain size) to establish a risk committee within their organisation to mitigate any potential abuse or self-interest arising and reports from the committee can then be audited / reviewed by ASIC (just an suggestion I thought of as a middle ground)

This is only scratching the surface, more unnecessary regulations need to be removed at Federal level and especially at State government level; take a look at your local councils for example, you need a form for a form to get another form these days, thus only adding to the frustration of us general household consumers to try and do the right thing i.e. could be getting soil testing done, permits, etc….

Much more to be done but this is a good start.

There's definitely a lot more that needs to be done but it's a great start. The number of people working in government in antiquated divisions is remarkable...

The filter in the RB, while not difficult, could be a lot easier. Magic Mike wins that round

Ls1 oil filter, directly at the bottom with nothing in the way and you don't end up with oil on your block

I hate spark plugs on any rb with a crossover pipe. Again not difficult but well annoying

Spark plugs on an ls1, open bonnet take of lead unscrew put in new plug put on lead close bonnet

    • I don't even know that you want an M2 Competition as a track car. My rule for a track car is only risk as much as you're willing to completely total out. Clean stock C5 Z06 Corvettes out here are cheap. Buying someone else's already ruined track car is even cheaper. Maybe I'm just not that good a driver but even a Fiesta ST on the Nordschleife felt like as much car as I could realistically handle.
    • I've already gone over the cam. A new one is going in. An old one is coming out! The new one is smaller, with less overlap. It has way more lift, but it will be more mild mannered (hopefully, probably very minorly) I'm also measuring for two more mufflers, with the goal of having four mufflers in my car. But that probably will be done by an exhaust shop in a drive in, measure, buy parts, install parts later kind of deal.
    • Mine is not even a GTR and I've been resisting the urge to make it a power monster for the last 25 years. And as a consequence, I have driven it to work nearly every day across that span of time.
    • Since the motor is out, I suggest pop in a nice dirty LS chop cam. MOAR of this please:  
    • This.. no one is going into it wanting to "build" a fast track car, because let's be honest you can buy a i30N or Type-R lawn mower and both will destroy a R32 GT-R (even with mild mods) around a circuit.   Greg is on the Gregging money here.   If you love your R32 GT-R, just leave it stock and enjoy it and If you want a fast car to play with and hit the track with, just put aside $80K for a M2 Competition and keep the R32 GT-R as a weekend cruiser. Same outcome (you have a R32 GT-R and you have a fast track car) really.
