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

    • Robertson was a Canadian inventor, and it absolutely reigns supreme here. 95% of our screws are Roberston. It's literally the only option you can buy off store shelves. What would it have lost out too? I believe it's also very popular in the US.  My reference to imperial was pointed to both NPT and BSP. 
    • No. BSP lost to the cultural/technical imperialism of living next to Trumpistan. Face it, Robertson screws were better and still pretty much lost out to the yank stuff. The Europeans hate the Brits and they don't use NPT. NPT is just as "imperial" as BSP is, being based on those useless inch thingos. Just done differently. 
    • I live in Quebec. Our license plate slogan is "Je me souviens" Translated is "We will remember" as a reminder to when England conquered us and that we must never forget what they did. Long story short, BSP is unheard of here due to being an English design. I'm surprised our nazi anti english government office the OQLF hasn't kicked in my door yet just talking about it, yet alone imperial anything.       
    • Thanks for that! I did a quick Google search looked up some of hydaulic stores and didn't see it listed on the website, I'll give them a ring. Also found out later that I can buy 2 oem bleeder bolts for 10 bux and come with the washer which I might do so I don't waste the money it costs in petrol to find 2 washers (already did that lol). The old copper washes look in good nick, I drove it after taking it off and putting it back on and didn't see any  Part number here for reference if anyone needs: 14053-42L0A
