Howard's a lying smug fu(ktard, Rudd will be a lying smug fu(ktard.

Yeah the ecconomy might go to shit with Rudd but at what cost does it do well with Howard. Can't afford a house, inflation it at it highest ever....and tax cuts, what a fu(ken laugh, we get tax cuts, then people spend more, we are no better off. It's one big fu(ken scam.

DONKEH for the win!

I think i'll vote Rudd at this stage for a few reasons;

1. Educatuion policy, I think university should be free, howard has made the system user pays and hence O/S students are buying our uni places.

2. Howard is a liar, plain and simple.

3. Howards IR laws disadvantage those who can least afford it, people who depend on penalty rates, loadings ect.

4. Rudd is addressing climate change, Howard wont even ratify Kyoto!

Thats said I am not 100% behind Rudd, I will continue to watch the campaign closely.

Howard.

We can't ratify Kyoto without severely disadvantaging ourselves in the global economy against higher polluters.

Ratifying Kyoto is simply a political point, and I completely agree with Howard's attitude to this.

If you've ever been in a business where idiots who do nothing, constantly mess up and basically fleece the employer because its so difficult to sack them you will be all for IR reforms.

BASS OUT

Hmm, interesting.

1. The Hawke/Keating government introduced the HECS (Higher Education Contribution Scheme) which means if you go to uni you pay the tax man. Plain & simple. O/S (full fee paying) student have been at our unis for many, many years. Good on them. Why should they be denied an education as well?

2. All politicians are liars. Plain & simple. Actually they are not. If you (or anyone else) had everything they ever said scrutinised & debated & misrepresented then you too (& me & everyone else) would be termed a liar. Rudd has the advantage of not having been around long enough to have piled up baggage.

3. Howard fkd up on the first change when they introduced the AWA's. But now that they have implemented a no disadvantage test covering the most important benifits you can't get little of no compensation for trading your penalty rates etc. Try working on a salary - you don't get any O/T, penalty rates or anything other than your salary. Not everyone works on wages or can even get access to AWA's.

4. Kyoto is a lame duck. Ratifying it will make bugger all difference. If Rudd had any bollocks he wouldn't be banging on about a target in 2050 - thats what four changes of government & 15 elections away. He would map out a short term target (say every year until 2020) & set out how he would achieve it. So would Howard. But they are both too gutless.

To finish: what I hate the most about this election is the me too, cloning that is going on in the policy areas. Weak as piss.

Wait, Labor is going to make uni spots free and stop international students? Where'd they say that and as if that makes any sense.

Rudd's not a liar though, hard to lie when you never answer a question.

You CANNOT be stripped of penalty rates, loading etc without compensation.

Rudd hasn't addressed anything, he's crapped on about studies that they commisioned that won't tell him anything until it will mean very little to this election. All he has done is made promises about carbon emissions when he'll most likely be dead.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
