The knighting was stupid and just the straw that broke the camel's back. If it had happened 6 months ago no one would have really cared TBH.

It was more about him making a "captains call" than the actual knighthood.

As you said it was totally out of proportion, however he only has himself to blame for that. He has created the hatred by being a complete spanner for a solid 12 months and people are out for blood. TA farts wrong and it will be in the papers now.

I think not knowing the tax free threshold os probably of no consequence to the federal budget or him doing his job should he become treasurer, but as far as public opinion goes it's a disaster lol. It's not hard to remember and he should have known it.

Was nowhere near as good as the George Brandis interview on metadata though.... that was epic

I guess my point is "public opinion" has no real bearing on the ability for the Government to function, or for people to do their jobs.

Given "public opinion" is what dictates whether people stay in their jobs, there's a massive disconnect between people's ability to do their job, and the function that gives them the job.

That's the problem with the entire system.

Spot on because if it was linked to performance we wouldn't have a labor gov for another 100 odd years..

The whole system needs changing libs got voted in fair and square but due to labor and greens can barely get anything done because of side deals the public has no say in.

as much as I hated them, I miss the wasteland posts from randoms asking which car is faster or how to fit 22's.

SAU has matured from school holiday posts to politics :(

Were they ever in VWL?

I'd like to extend this to athletes, television personalities, politicians and pretty much anyone who does anything outside of their place of business that gets used to judge their suitability for a role...when most of the time what they did has zero impact on it and the media are to blame for blowing anything out of proportion.

Worst are football players swearing on the field or doing silly things and the media making front page news of it saying it's a disgrace and the public shoukdnt be exposed to this kind of behaviour, which is why we're exposing it as much as possible DERP

That whole fking Adam Goodes gorilla thing, and the flamin mongrel gets Aussie of the year because of the media and nothing else

Man I reckon goodes looks like an ape but I never knew it was racist till he picked on a 14 year old girl..

Can't stand the bloke turned into the biggest flog in Aus... (After tony abbot amirightguys?)

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
