I get what you are saying, my problem is still that the people who are not having kids due to money, probably still wont because the money they are getting is not going to go that far. Where as the ones with the high income never had a concern anyway as they had the money to withstand a year off work anyway. There will be a part of the pay scale there where the maths will work out and some one could go from not affording children to affording children but I am not sure it is that big.

In any case it looks like we will get to find out if it works or not in the near future

Ah, but there is a direct inverse correlation between income and number of kids. And the research suggests it's higher income earners who put it off or have fewer kids for financial considerations. Yes they can afford the time off but they are less willing to give up the income than a lower income worker is.

They are still going to be giving up income at some stage...unless of course they actually do want to get back to work so bad that they drop the kids off at day care at 6 months old. So is it really going to entice them into kids?

And as for does it work, it will need a decade or so to start to reverse trends in birth rates.

If you see a sudden uptake in women in middle class jobs falling pregnant it will give you some idea if it worked or not

so coalition just said there will major cutbacks on overseas foreign aid dollars spent....bout bloody time! look after the people here and the veterans and pensioners who got this country along through their working life and taxes and now some cant even afford the rising cost of electricity!! sorry to those that have to live in 3rd world and attrocious circumstances but its time to focus on our country that needs attention.

I certainly appreciate what I have and get in life but we work hard for these things and contriute to the tax system accordingly to help this country and citizens.

Random occurrence could be a spike in the numbers for other reason. Needs to be a prolonged increase to have validity.

Thats why i said SOME indication. I have a science degree, I am all for stupid amounts of evidence before confirming something lol.

I have voted now, so I can go back to giving no f**ks

So do you work somewhere in the field of science? Just for interests sake, not having a go...

I have 2 friends with science degrees, both make less than the quoted $72k average, and both are lab supervisors. 1 at a uni and the other at a very large pharma co.

I work in environmental management, I would never work in a lab in a million years for the very reason you mention there, terrible pay

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
