That was the play when they got elected but they set their goals too high IMHO... they haven't improved the budget 1 bit and they kiiiinda said it would be under control by the end of the term. A Refreshing female leader with left appeal (but not policy lel) vs a proven backstabber/lier/donothinger is a shoe in

The basic voter doesn't understand deficit / surplus etc they'll determine it based on employed feeling good or unemployed times are tough.

The budget is a moving target to be fair regardless of political persuasion who would have predicted the ass falling out of iron ore.

Uhh... Myuran = Sukumaran

Pretty lulzy insight into the care factor of the trendy Left

Not so much the care factor... she was trailing behind Turnbull and consodered to be more right wing.

Bali 9 presented an opportunity to show she wasn't a heartless conservative, and she played it. Well.

It was an emotional event for a lot of people and she conducted herself/ represented australia like a champ. It was perfect branding. She didn't upset the right as she let Tony do that and she sold herself to the left.

People won't vote for her on that issue but it put a whole new dimention into her overall brand.

The assumption that a surplus is all that matters is just as bad. We are not a company aiming for a profit. If we had no national debt and we returned a surplus that just means the gov is tsking the piss on taxes.

It means the government is saving for a rainy day, which given the state of the world these days, is probably not a bad thing. "I have too much money", said no person or body ever. The view of a surplus as a piss take on taxes is your average Labor voter who thinks that tax in general (any tax they pay) is some evil concept designed to stop them earning beer money; that the government is some person who takes money and gives nothing back to them (e.g. roads grow on trees mentality etc); that if the government isn't in as much debt as they are personally, then they simply can't relate to the government...

This kind of person can go live in Greece and tell the rest of us how it's working for them (sorry Ric).

An actual surplus not a budget surplus.

A budget surplus has nothing to do with an actual monetary surplus. (Not that you'd know it with the amount of LNP sheep that still think we had no debt under howard and love to try to brag about it on the internet.)

We already have savings in the form of the commonwealth futures fund, (set up by howard administration) whos book is currently valued at ~$100bn so any savings go in there.

The downside is it's only purpose was to pay the superannuation of public servants... i.e. themselves lel.

If this happens during times of debt, imagine what would happen in a surplus.... we'd probably just see it all pissed away on MP and shadow MP salaries / new houses and artwork for their houses/offices.

Incidentally, the fund was modified by the Swan (using treasurer's name as I cant remember which of the 700 Labor PM's it was under) to include funds for hospitals, education, welfare etc.

The future fund is pathetic compared to other countries who had similar resource windfalls.

Hey man... at least Bob and Paul and John and Kevin and Julia and Tony will get their full $500k p/a paid for life while they work for other companies...

that's something we can all be proud of

yeah you won't get argument from me they are far to highly paid upon exit and arguably during term.

I think they are paid appropriately during term or even a little under... (the PM that is)

but it should stop when the term ends... like any other job

So my dearly departed nanas place in Mt Waverley went to auction on Saturday...

~12 months ago the estimate was 880

~3 months ago the estimate was 1.2

~2 weeks ago the estimate was 1.1

Nek minute someone caught an 8am flight into the country and snatched it up for 1.33

So at the moment, quite happy with the international buyers situation.

6Teen Le...%%%%..eds Rd Mt Waverley if anyone is interested in the property size / location (anti-google search resulted the text, I'm not actually that dyslexic)

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox !
