Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

Speaking of tax dollars, repeal day was yesterday. What are Mr Ants' thoughts on the matter?

About bloody time!

I welcome these amendments in fact I could almost kiss them.

We live in a really wonderful country that offers incredible opportunities to the ones that are searching for it compared to other well developed countries. HOWEVER, the level of bureaucracy in Australia has been on the rise for quite a number of years and not only is it burdensome to us all but has prohibited Australia to become more competitive as well.

Removal of the so called ‘red tape’ is certainly a welcoming measure and will assist businesses carrying on what they do best and that is concentrating on their business operations.

Australia is simply too highly regulated and having the need to have a watchdog for every sector is simply not viable and canning the watchdog for charities is fine by me especially since the ATO has been already been administering these duties already.

The reduction of compliance requirement within the future of financial advice act (FOFA) is a doubled edge sword though……….I know many financial advisers that do the right thing by their clients and do not even accept commissions and as such would benefit from yesterdays reduced regulation, HOWEVER, it is other gung-ho financial advisers that need such regulations in place to keep them in check. I think that other controls should be put introduced like maybe force each financial advisers (of certain size) to establish a risk committee within their organisation to mitigate any potential abuse or self-interest arising and reports from the committee can then be audited / reviewed by ASIC (just an suggestion I thought of as a middle ground)

This is only scratching the surface, more unnecessary regulations need to be removed at Federal level and especially at State government level; take a look at your local councils for example, you need a form for a form to get another form these days, thus only adding to the frustration of us general household consumers to try and do the right thing i.e. could be getting soil testing done, permits, etc….

Much more to be done but this is a good start.

There's definitely a lot more that needs to be done but it's a great start. The number of people working in government in antiquated divisions is remarkable...

The filter in the RB, while not difficult, could be a lot easier. Magic Mike wins that round

Ls1 oil filter, directly at the bottom with nothing in the way and you don't end up with oil on your block

I hate spark plugs on any rb with a crossover pipe. Again not difficult but well annoying

Spark plugs on an ls1, open bonnet take of lead unscrew put in new plug put on lead close bonnet

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
