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)

    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.

Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around.
