Speaking of parking, got 3 parking tickets in November (only finding out about them a few weeks ago because they had flown or were removed from the car) when parking at Essendon Airport long term. I called up the council saying I have receipts, why was I fined so many times? they said "we have photos here of your car with no ticket displayed" "that's because it's a ticketless parking system in the long term area!" goddamn inspectors are muppets. They must have fined every person in the car park.


That's stupid even for a council.

f**k that's harsh :(

His letter back was hilarious. Said next time he'll try to throw coins into the coin slot of the parking meter as he's driving past to meet their requirements of having a ticket before you park

Haven't used my Eastlink/Citylink pass on my own cars in a long time, and now im using it again seems to drain funds pretty damn quick. no tag = photo numberplate recognition thingy, price is 0.75c per trip (thought it was cheaper... used to be 0.25c on Eastlink).

Anyway, reading about the tolls roads... It hadn't ever occurred to me, that if you buy a 24-hour citylink pass, its a flat rate for 24hrs. But if you have a tag and use it three or more times a day its more expensive than tagless... and when Transurban was told about this they said people can remove the tag and get a pass if they like (but passes are limited to a certain amount per year. What bullshit.

Wasn't citylink supposed to be paid off and toll free 20 years after being built or some shit

Yeah I don't think a single modern toll Rd in Australia has actually switched to free.
Still shits me the transurban CEO is on like $2.3mil a year and pays more tax than the company itself.

What's is Transurbans taxable income?

Alot of the media sensationalise Corporate's paying no tax because they publish revenue figures not profit figures. 'XXX' company males $1 billion a year in revenue but pays no tax. No shit maybe because they are in a net loss/taxable income loss.

my no idea review shows

2083 M Revenue

1526 Mill EBITA

174 M Profit after that

35 M tax credits

 

for a net real profit of 209 M

So looks like $174M taxable income $52M income tax expense for the 2017 FY

 

2016 comparative shows a tax loss and therefore no corporate tax paid

Something along the lines of high debt business writing off debt owed or repayments or whatever...
But yeah, I know media talks things up

Writing off a debt on revenue account means that previously the other side of the 'debt owed' would have been recorded as income.

 

So fair enough if your never going to get it the income previously recorded should be 'reversed' against.

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
