Turnball just announced he will run if a spill is successful.

Cryptic of course.... but it was there

I'd say it's largely irrelevant libs are cooked. Don't think people are ready to accept the necessary budget tightening undoubtedly they'll wake up when it's too late.

Not to mention memories are so short I mean the last labor gov was truly laughable you couldn't honestly credit them for achieving a single thing.

It's a shame the good things that have been done by the libs have been completely ignored

You never know. I would say with MT at the helm they could make it through another term.

It also makes Abbot the scapegoat for anything that goes wrong

lmao @ paying $100 dollars for a doctors visit. How about you step off your throne made of gold and look at the people who are a single parent and mother of 2-4 children. Sure you could turn around and go "Well they shouldn't of had kids". But that's not even slightly fixing the problem is it?

Someone's gotta be poor, else rich people wouldn't exist. Cutting Healthcare, Education and Welfare is an absolute joke, 3 of the most important things a society needs to function. I can't wait until our university debts and healthcare system is an exact copy of America. $10,000 hospital stay for 3 days anyone? Woo-hoo!!

Not on a throne mate but first of all how often do you go to the doctor? Second it's a professional who's studied for years to be an expert and your offended at the thought of paying to see them? You need to get your head checked. $7 is completely insignificant don't tell me people can't afford that.

They are all important but i wouldn't consider welfare a pillar of society it's actually a drain on society and a hinderance to growth as so much money is wasted. The gp co payment was to benefit health the research fund is a brilliant idea..& education shouldn't be free why should your tax fund someone else's study interest free? If they ever pay it back... Big If to....

You can whinge and resist all you want but it's only a matter of time things have to change as its already unaffordable and it's only getting worse revenues are down across the board incase you hadn't noticed and we are a service based economy we barely make anything these days so it's a trend that's not going to reverse any time soon.

Hey...we could be a manufacturing country if people had the maturity to buy Australian made for the good of the nation.

Unfortunately a cheap purchase outweighs supporting the local industry :(

Sorry Al but you are wrong.

For you right now $7 is insignificant... that's great... but what about poorer people?

You can sit atop your gilded throne all you want regurgitating LNP propaganda, but what about real life?

What about the guy that was a successful businessman (perhaps even a real estate agent) who's wife died during childbirth and who now can not work as he needs to provide 24/7 care to his child? Perhaps he also had a special needs child? He is now trying to live on $~500 a fortnight. Even after the house is sold and the rent takes pretty much the entire government payment, a $7 doctors visit is still insignificant?

Or the pensioner living on the same amount that needs to see a doctor almost weekly for scripts etc?

Or the guy who got injured and now can't work anymore?

I can tell you right now when I was an apprentice working in fine dining I couldn't afford an extra $7. There was a point where i was getting paid $270 a week before tax, working 80 hours and paying rent. I used bulk billing doctors, paid my utility bills and bought veggies at the cheap grocer to get through the week. Money was well gone within a day of being paid every week.

I think what Matt was getting at is that it is one of the pillars of a 1st world society that we are able to look after our needy... and not have them begging or turning to prostitution like in the slums of India etc.

thus my comment that it should be charged but exclusions for health card/pensioners.

every one of those senarios above would qualify for a health card.

but those of us earning a decent wage pay a bit more.

win win.

Bullet to the head at age 65

Driver licence retesting every 5 years

IQ test to vote, must be above 100 Autocracy

2 children max, if you have a third then you get forcibly sterilized

Means tested welfare

Heavy tariffs on imported goods

Pay proportionate to work done

Close the floodgates to foreign investors buying their residency here

Boatload of people turn up, do not pass go, go directly into the army reserves

Multi-million dollar sporting events closed, money redirected to education and health

All problems solved

If the government tries to pass all these bills at once... the result will be Double Plus Ungood <--- if noone gets the reference I'm going to be very Double Plus Unimpressed

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
