I've always assumed its because more people = bigger economy (easy way to keep growth going) = more power. If you look at population density, resources etc, compared to other countries, Australia is no-where near full, even if you take out all the useless desert. Personally I would prefer to keep the population low, but I believe expanding the population enjoys support from both sides of politics

The actual population growth policy was around ensuring we have enough people should another country decide to invade following how close we came to this in WW2

Can't remember who it was, but pretty sure the line was - "lets populate ourselves, before someone else does it for us"

There was an estimate that we needed to grow by approx 200k people per annum.

It was viewed that around 70k could be achieved through birth rates, the rest would come from migration.

The UK was unable to meet the 130k needed, which then led to the ending of the "White Australia" policy and commencing migration agreements with several countries.

^ Interesting - that's another aspect of larger population = more power. Also, letting in younger immigrants could be used offset the ageing population, but i don't know if the system is setup that way, but it should be.

MHM had no right to be out on bail. He had not right to Centrelink benefits. And he had no right to be here. But I do pray for families and friends of the barista, the barrister and the bastard.

Seems like criminals have more rights/protection around here than non-crims. If I smash a would be robber over the head, he can sue me and will probably win.

The court's defence regarding his bail was that the prosecutors didn't have a strong enough case against him for the alleged murder. Disregarding his previous convictions of course!

Will things change regarding crims on the street? Probably not.

If he's taking your stuff, yes. If you think he's going to harm/kill you then you can defend yourself. For example, if you think "i am in fear of my life" and you accidentally smash him harder than is required so stop him killing you, because you're not an expert fighter, then you may be ok. I'd imagine that if it was a his word against yours thing in court, you'd probably be more believable being the victim.

I've read a few too many Australian articles to say otherwise.

I've been listening to this shit since 10 o'clock this mourning, suprised it took this long for someone to post up about it

1 dude, really, don't we have snippers

No but we have media taking snaps of him in perfect view with no hostages as shields. just shot the dude in the head and save 2 innocents lives.

Me 2. tbh if someone steps on your property with the intent to steal something or hurt you or any of your family. laws should go straight out the window. Same when there is a sketchy muslim sending hate mail to deceased australian soldiers families and you don't have enough evidence to convict him of murder. keep him in jail until you can can find him guilty or innocent. don't send him into public to allow him to walk the streets among everyone else. I blame the courts/justice system more than the nut job that did it.

The police did do amazing 2 dead is pretty good for so much hostages. No blame on polices part.
But look at this image, no hostage as shield. any sniper in the world could make that. 999/1000 times

You would be ok with a "sketchy Christian" sending hate mail to dead soldiers? There's a group of Christians in america who do that and protest at funerals.

I assume you wouldn't like it.

Makes me wonder why you specified Muslim in your post. Makes no difference.

You're right. I wouldn't care who they are. If you don't support what we are doing over there then that's not the way to protest..

Your system requires a way to quickly and accurately establish intent. How would you do that?

Was that photo taken before Police could establish what was happening? Did he then stay away from the windows, with victims holding up flags in the windows, because he was worried about getting sniped?

The only story i heard was that he had a sawn off double barrel shot gun. If that's the case, then he was only ever likely to kill two people.

The whole "should have sniper ed him" armchair hindsight train of thought also assumes there was a sniper next to you camera man.

Um, get it right, it was an excavator chair, and I suggested it less then 2 hours after the shit started and they had 16 hours to organise something before the baristor did something

    • 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?
