I don't pretend to understand economics, but when the media throw numbers and words around regarding debt, billions, trillions etc... they make it sound like it's a 30 year old couple with a billion dollar mortgage..

But the sure fire way to fix it is to cut everyones wages, because that will surely solve the problem. The big builders will surely lower their prices and pass the savings on to the client..

lol.

Cut tradie wages, f**k paying the ambos more too. But it's all good for real estate agents etc to be earning enough to drive lambos..

Ok so you're just an (admittedly) ignorant socialist.

Personally I'd rather drive the Lambo than have the Lambo laptop, but that's just me :)

Such an uneducated statement. Let me guess your happy to pay ambos more, police more, firefighters more so long as your tax doesn't go up? Tax the rich am I right? Only problem is they don't have enough "rich" people to cover it all..

No disrespect to ambos etc I take my hat off to them but the amount of idiots all saying Yeh pay em more go labor haven't stopped to ask where is labor gonna get the money if liberal don't have it? ... borrow it and go into debt? Raise taxes from their core voter base of course not..

But if you can't see that labor is systemically incompetent then I don't know what to say

I think the Ambo's deserve to be at least paid in line with the other states. But more important than their wages is the hospital situation in general.

If you were in my position 18 months ago, lying on the bed only able to move half your body with a life threatening illness, and that ambulance you called simply wasn't coming... you would have a very different view. 20 f**king minutes. Then when I got to hospital over 4 hours before I could be seen by anything other than a nurse, and the only reason I got treatment then us because I had a seizure.

People are actually dying due to how this situation has been mis-handled... it's not even something that needs questioning, it should just be done. Period.

And if you want ideas as to where to get the money from, I would suggest that we probably need Ambo's and hospital beds more than the extra PSO's we got instead under Napthine.

Also, why do you assume that because I disagree with a few specific policies of the LNP that makes me a stereotypical extreme lefty? There are plenty of things I don't like about policies on both sides. I vote on current issues, not stereotypes and propaganda... Hell I have even voted liberal previously when they presented a better option.

Seems to me I'm not the one making the uneducated statements...

Yes but you like pulsars and not-Meisters, so I fear any advice I give will fall on deaf ears (or blind eyes, as it were)

The S15 is back up for sale due to a massive timewaster. The same guy who made an underhand deal last year to screw me out of buying my black R34 back.

If I knew it was you Brown Ross, I never would have dealt with you. But you knew that, that's why you sent in your mate to say he was going to buy my S15. I knocked back everyone who wanted to buy my parts and the car for three weeks, stripped off the parts you didn't want, only to have you say today you don't want it anymore. All while puppeteering your mate so I wouldn't know it was you. I'm tired of your shit. Stop screwing with me.

For everyone else, the car and parts are back up for sale:

Well I see ya fb posts and they always cater to left & greens 100% of the time

Can we not forget ambos are on circa 100k & 10 weeks leave with Andrews promising 6% increase and a 3k sign on I hardly feel they are horribly underpaid

Lol this is liberal propaganda 100%

Ambo's arent on 100k or even close. If they were I wouldn't give a shit about their wages.

Thats laughable. The average ambo takes ~ 70k gross. To get to 100k is someone that has been with the service for like a decade and had duties well above and beyond being a simple paramedic. With a burnout rate of approx 2-3 years there are very very few Ambo's that make more than average wage.

That $100k figure was a straight lie said in an interview by David Davis and has been debunked many times since.

Also if you think about it, my facebook posts have really only been about federal issues, and to that end they haven't really even been anti liberal as such... Anti Abbott, Morrison and Hockey yes, but all but the absolute most die hard of LNP fanbois now admit those 3 are complete clowns. (Although I understand the confusion here)

The only victorian issue I have commented on was the ambulance thing and to be honest I didn't really have a problem with the Napthine administration save for a few minor issues I would have with any political party.

You also don't see me defending the desal plant for example. That was a major major stuff up fron the prev government.

Lol hence my brown ross comment

I reckon they earn it. High stress job on shift work. Rotating 12hr day and night shifts. I know a couple of paramedics, some dropped out due to stress issues and rest dont have much of a life. You could probably go work on a mine site as a paramedic for better money and do very little in comparison...

But that applies to just about any profession on a mine site. So far ive almost been impressed with the knowledge and work ethic of maybe less than 5 individuals. The rest are so slow, lazy or incompetent (usually all 3) its no wonder this job is $3 billion over budget lol

poorly maintained

this....

the budget as it is, isnt enough to maintain what they have, let alone build billions of dollars wrth of ships...

however a few million of that billion, has come thru my company, and in part been passed to the local community, employees, local charity, my football club.

so some of it does trickle down mate, but not alot.

Damn straight they earn it. Majorly shit job.

I was actually enrolled to Paramedical Science when the bank job came up and I went that way instead. Very glad I didn't continue.

Yeah they earn it no denying it im happy for them to be paid more provided economic conditions allow it and the numbers just don't support it.

Don't forget they get 10 weeks leave compared to everyone else's 4 . Include days off they only work approx 148 days a year - long hard days no doubt but comeon and side note but vic ambos take an average of 16.4 unplanned days off per year - double SA counterparts

Also they get a $9000 tax benefit average joe does not get so another leg up there.

*stats are from 2013 newest I could find

    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
