This I like

MPs super freeze

The Government has made a submission to the independent Remuneration Tribunal proposing to freeze the salaries

and allowances of parliamentarians (MPs), departmental secretaries and all other public office holders at current

levels for 12 months, over the period 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2015.

The freeze will also apply to the pensions of

former parliamentarians received under the closed Parliamentary Contributory Superannuation Scheme.(Source:

Budget Paper No 2 [p 70].)

Now to introduce MP's salary caps

Woo, we can save a few million and everyone will feel happy about it while ignoring the multi billions being screwed out of them!

(and in a couple of years they can do what we did in QLD and re instate the rises with back pay while noone's looking)

Since i'm a young middle class single guy with no children this budget pretty much doesn't effect me. Some changes to HECS repayments for 2015-2016 but hopefully that'll all be paid off before the end of the decade and the effects will be minor.

TBH the budget doesnt really effect me substantially at this stage. All i know about it is i think i pay more tax lol

Yeah for once I seem to be one of those who will be least screwed by the latest budget.

Can't say I'm that upset about most of it TBH. Welfare cuts have been needed for a long time.

Pension age of 70 is a bit rough but by the time I get to retire I expect there will be no pension at all, so meh.

What's magic mike going to be upset about? Rich b*stard have to pay the defecit levy?

Lol, that's exactly what I thought! We've got a few accountants and lawyers here, what's the take on the budget?

see below mate

It effects you all.

We will all be paying more tax (effective from 1 July 2014) - I don't particular like the idea of paying more tax but bottom line is we need to

Tax Free Threshold frozen at 18,200 was to be changed to $19,401

Hopefully it will only be temporary - but how else are we to extinguish an underlying projected 60b cash deficit hanging over our heads over 4 years?

At least now we will be provided with a tax receipt effective from 1 July 2014 (so 2015 income year) which will summaries where and how our taxes have been applied - interesting that one (wonder what the admin costs for that will be?)

Salary sacrificing just went out the window with FBT rate to be increased to just under 50% effective from 1 April 2015

The Government confirmed that it was committed to cutting the company tax rate by 1.5 percentage points

(to 28.5%) from 1 July 2015. For large companies, the reduction will offset the cost of the Government's

1.5% Paid Parental Leave levy.

Medicare levy surcharge and private health insurance offset thresholds to be frozen.

Most dependant offsets to be abolished.

Super guarantee rate to go to 9.5% on 1 July 2014.

Option to be given to withdraw excess non-concessional superannuation contributions.

ATO staff reductions to be brought forward (with more quality staff retained I hope)

Family Tax Benefit changes: 2-year freeze on rates; other changes.

Fuel excise indexation to recommence.

Overall, I think that this budget is pretty fair.

It was no surprise that tougher measure had to be introduced.

Its a plan to get Australia back in the black and I am all for that.

Few things that concern me is the fact that the Carbon Tax and Mining Resources tax have yet to be repealed - the Govt needs to clarify new dates that it will take effect as it is now going stale and leaving other associated measures in limbo.

So Federal budget was released last nite.

MagicMike aint gonna be happy

I don't mind chipping in the extra 2% tbh. Rather do it now while the aussie debt is still salvageable, however possibly could have reduced it over a greater length of time. But again, libs want to do it while still in power so the labs dont have as much to start with, because we know they'll just piss it away again.

Def happy that the young peoples welfare has been cut-ish. I never got any of that shit (except HECS). Had to work and study, and live away from home, why shouldn't every other f**ker? Sooner people are trained to look after themselves the better.

Also, if the bludgers can afford smokes, booze and tats, they can handle the cuts. Just have to sell more drugs.

Biggest win was reduction of forign aid.

Yes. Yes. Oh so much yes! My brother doesn't get anything from the government and he had to be in Adelaide for uni. I didn't either.

I don't think you will be too badly effected considering it only takes effect from $180k ATI

I am not overly concerned by the budget, pretty much what I thought it would be, we are apparently in a mining boom, but don't touch them, we will claw back money in every other possible place *shrugs*

In other news, my plans to get a new job have been bumped up the priority list significantly, our department has been restructured quite significantly, no one is losing jobs, in fact they are adding some, but the chosen structure is so idiotic I need to leave. I am going to investigate becoming a consultant doing water quality analysis, 3rd party auditing of ERAs and erosion and sediment control. Oh and becoming a slum son of rajab like Donald Sterling.

Cheers! I might ride it out until Canada next year but we will see, I have wanted to go out on my own under the banner of my sisters consulting group for a while now. With no more home loan repayments this may be the time!

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      Could it really happen......

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
