The policy's to fix the budget have t been that bad.. Students should pay interest on hecs loans the loop holes and outstanding balance is ridiculous

Paying $7 to see a doctor? No problem with that either

Despite what labor and the greens want us to believe there simply isn't enough rich people / corporations to slug more taxes on to cover the bill. Middle & low income will always feel the pinch as they are the most dependent and largest tax base and as much as they whinge figures showed after rebates / deductions they were taking out more than they put in...

I agree the loopholes for non payment of HECS should be closed, charging interest AND allowing uni's to set their own fee scales is a terrible idea. The last thing we want is a lack of educated people due to the fear of a small house sized interest accruing loan, and then importing half-ass qualified people from overseas.

Paying for a doctor is fine for some, but there are peope that genuinely can not afford this. Scheme was badly implemented by people who just simply can not imagine $5 being significant. Also GP's do not earn what people think... why not remove a good $50 from private surgeon medicare rebates instead for example? Or do the co-payment at tax time and base it on a $ threshold? Let's not forget Abbot/Hockey wanted to make it $20 aswell, and tried to slide it through quickly without people noticing.

High level tax avoidance loopholes needed to be closed as well. Remember that $800m we let Rupert take? And Ikea not taking a profit for a decade? There is PLENTY of cash available from big business. Not that I'm suggesting this is a budget issue, just that there is cash available.

Those 2 clowns Abbot and Hockey haven't even managed to pass half their hudget and the next one is due in 3 months. This is not due to Labor blocking it, it's simply because it's badly done.

I know you are dutily bound to like them as a one eyed liberal supporter but why not step outside the box one in a while? LNP in it's current guide is simply NOT good for Australia and unfortunately neither are the ALP.

Hecs debt should have interest on it why should the taxpayers fund it? It was a small tax rate anyway and it may help art students get serious. Setting fees etc I don't have a opinion either way but I strongly appose free money.

I'd happily pay $100 for a doctor doesn't bother me at all, and taking it off privately funded surgical procedures wouldn't generate anywhere near enough revenue.

Agree big business tax dodging is bs everyone should pay a fair share, but the reliance on the "rich" is ridiculous you could tax high income earners & corporations 70% still won't put a dint in the deficit.

The budget measures shouldn't be getting blocked entirely with cooperation they could be made amicable for all.

Private surgical procedurs arent entirely privately funded.

They also get a large rebate from the government for every procedure. I dont see why someone charging $1000/h and sometimes more still gets govenrment "assistance" in the way of medicare claims.

And you may happily pay $100 for a doctor, but what about someone on the pension?

There is no cooperation. From ALP or LNP.

It may have been, i am unsure.

Problem is morons will flock to emergency departments which will cripple an already underfunded system. It's not right, but it's what will happen.

This is the problem with younger generations they don't actually see the importance of who and how the country is run..

I blame the education system.

I blame the government for not incorporating civics and citizenship into the Australian curriculum, for all year levels until last year, and for not providing professional development for educators once it was finally included.

Saw this movie once about a dude that escaped from a lot of prisons, so they put him in this max security joint... ended up escaping from it by cutting a hole in the concrete slab ceiling in the corner.. Wanna watch it again but can't remember the name. Anyone seen it?

The Last Castle.

unless you mean the Arnie and Stallone & 50cent masterpiece Escape Plan?

If I remember correctly wasn't the doctor charge capped to a certain amount of visits? It may actually help reduce congestion at gps as people do rush down there for nothing alllll the time

ummm... you can claim medical on tax if spent over $2500 during a financial year ?

I think i know the one you are referring to... will yry to think of the name

You're blaming DJ x van x?

That's probably quite accurate

Austin Powers jokes aside it actually was the Dutch.

They invented "hardstyle" then bogan Australia had something moronic enough to attract them to the rave scene.

Jesus wept, and BOOM it was over

actually, I think I'm thinking of an ep of "Breakout" on foxtel

It might be something like that, thought I remembered it going for a while so thought movie, but I'm pretty sure it's a true story and told by the guy himself, so could well be a documentary.. I keep everything I download though which is why it's strange I can't find it...

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
