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

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
