I'm definitely not saying that it was sustainable.

I'm saying it is logical to spend when you can't afford it (to keep the economy going) and its logical to rein in the spending when times are better (like now).

But a 10 year plan of excessive cuts just to get a "number" back into check... This is going to hurt our growth in the long term...

You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

Still not seeing the link between $900 per person and saving the economy, especially when so much of that was saved or sent overseas. $900 won't buy a car and keep someone in a job; thousands does.

But again, that was the cry of Labor MPs: "the rest of the world envies us, we have the strongest economy blah blah"...that doesn't link/prove that Labor's decision making kept us that way just because they were in power at the time. And even if it did, the spending existed because of a stronghold surplus that was built up by the previous government. If we fell into recession it would have been easy to say it couldn't be helped etc. that the rest of the world is in the same boat. It was always going to be tough for this current government, whoever got in last election, cause they had a lot of sweeping up to do after the party. Fortunately that's an LNP government because, whether you hate Abbott or disagree with policies and the budget, Labor don't have a great history of coming back out of that debt they usually put us in. Cycle continues.

But I know I'd rather have money in the bank and pull up my socks than an interest incurring debt.

Money has to come from somewhere...

You can have excessive cuts but there's also excessive spending and I reckon I know which one is more harmful to the future. Wouldn't have to cut as much if there wasn't so much debt :/

anyway labor is currently in the shits in regards to the fatbatts debucle
someone needs to answer for what has happen with the 4 deaths

as for the budget, having friends who are in the shit due to their dependance for welfare and university/tafe studies are going to be hit much harder
as for me, the budget only affects me as a driver but thats something ive been used to for 10+ years

bullshit ti was saved...everybody ahd a little spend up at some point...even if they saved the 900 initially u can bet they spent money elsewhere..anyway one thing is for certain

NOBODY GAVE IT BACK !!!!

anyway, country was due for a recession regardless of who was in power...GFC hit...wasnt labours fault and the measly 40billion they gave away to the Australian public made f**k all difference in the big scheme of things...

I think its funny they just f**ked everything up, gives liberal a f**king job to do, and when its done people will be sick of their tightwad bullshit and vote in a labour governement to f**k it all up again...and so the cycle continues,,....:rofl:

Someone has to answer....How about the dodgey dream boats that put the batts in...

Agreed. at the end of the day we as taxpayers will have to pay. but try telling the families of those 4 killed that. the fact that so much could went wrong did and noone seemed to give a damn.

I remember that stimilus package...... spent that on a headunit :D

I think the economy has just kept chugging along because a lot of people live beyond their means, paying things off over long periods of time. and also saving for holidays or money pits since we're such a recreational bunch (cars, boats, bikes, alcohol, decent food/local produce, gym, night life etc)

Bull...those families would have dealt with it, they have lost their sons and there is nothing that can be done about that...just like if you lost a child to war or to drugs there is nothing that can be done......nothing can ever bring them back or compensate their loss..Rudd and Garret are good men trying to do what they thought was best for their country...mistakes were made by many, nothing more nothing less ...

Its just the f**king hungry lawyers, the media and the Labour Lynch mob hovering around trying to make another dollar that would be bringing it all up to the surface again...

not to mention that superannuation copped most of the gfc blow in oz it seems. lot of people lost a lot of money, but doesn't really affect day-to-day stuff

and the amount of foreign investment into Australia.

lol...f**king superannuation....see just another way society has all these ways of taking your cash and telling you it is to your benefit...

A few folks at our work, most of who are at the lower end of the foodchain lost everything...200k+ in super.. gone...would they let them get their super out to pay the mortgage ..no...house gone....back to renting and living on scraps....right back where you started 20 years ago....

i bet they spent their 900$ drowning their sorrows...who says it didn't stimulate the economy :P

Tobes, you serious? Dumbo wants to rape tradies

Leigh, old photo.

Don't know why people bother arguing politics, no one engaging in the argument is ever going to concede/change their views.. How many billions is that big eared retard spending on jets? Good move...

One thing that can't be argued is that Tony Abbot is a f**king moron.

Exhibit A

Case closed.

Exactly ,and most people spend their days justifying their electoral choice no matter how retarded they turn out to be...

Abbott seems to be getting as much love as Rudd these days...will be interesting to see how long he lasts...he is making sure his hand is in all the right pockets though

I hope Rudd gets up and says "shit happens" when confronted about the insulation scheme

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
