The heat / rain / RDO stuff is fair. Helps that I like you though..

I wonder how many of those people sacked face that outcome because the employer can't afford the wages that result from union bully tactics (or if they are genuine flogs who hide behind the union and try to blend in with the decent blokes like dezz)

Considering what our companies charge us out at, I don't think it's an issue. People get hired and fired with the rise and fall in work. It's the nature of the industry, the union doesn't stop it happening, they can't, they just see that the proper notice is given etc

For example, at the moment Downer and Stowe have the lionshare of the work...Their guys get paid the same we do obviously.

My company has most of the work at the airport, but those jobs are expected to finish mid year. Obviously there's always more work to be won at the airport, but it's not a given that the contractor their currently will get the next job...

As my companies jobs finish, and if they don't win some more to keep the current amount of sparkies on the books, people will be made redundant (around 100 have already been made redundant in the 3.5 years I've been there) Some get re-hired, some are no good and don't come back, and others were just unlucky to be the one to go, and will more than likely get a job with whoever has most of the work at the time.

It's pretty rare that someone in my industry works for one company their whole career

So I thought I might do some trolling in the news.com.au facebook site to keep the left/right balance... Holy shit! I couldn't bring myself to reply to the epic stupid... ALL OF THE STUPID.

Admittedly I jumped into the deep end by going for an article about the Bali 2, but I thought it would be at least in actual English...

Never before have I seen the word "use" (meaning for some reason the plural of you) written so frequently... Not to mention "U" and "R" etc etc.

The pointlessly vitriolic commenters and holier than thou Internet tough guy's were virtually the only commenters with a reasonable point either for our against being made maybe once per 10 replies.

It was just bogan australia at it's worst... The kind of people that treat ACA as a reputable news source.

I thought the age was bad...

It made the age comments seem like a freaking pulitzer prize contest!

When you consider this is who they aim their articles at... well you know where I'm going with this...

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
