Ah, the ah, boats have stopped. I repeat, the boats have stopped

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

I've learned to accept it, taking into account that the boats have stopped.

DEZZ POTY

This weekend Autobarn will have 25% off all engine oils so if you use motul or any other expensive brands get in quick.

(message me if there is any oils you are wondering if they stock, ill let you know)

all autobarn or just yours?

when it start?

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

Everyone buy motul so scotty get free oil....

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

I am aware, just couldn't be f**ked answering it

I think the quality has improved overall. My independence days being one color don't have the usual 'flaws', neither do any of the hyperfuse really, or the ice models.. The essentials do have some color outside the 'lines' but it's not something you'd really notice unless you had the shoe in your hand and were looking for it.

Probably should be better given they're ~$200 a pair, but I wouldn't lose any sleep over it personally

Was curious is all.

For the price (vs other shoes) you'd expect better than a 4 year old's colouring book...

Clearly it doesn't bother me enough to stop buying them

I would agree if every single interview with him, no matter what the subject, was answered with "the boats have stopped" at some point.

Especially when it's not even an issue, it's just politicians preying on the gullibility and naivety of the average Australian by demonising a non threat.

It was actually an issue at the last election, that even Labor when in power acknowledged and tried (failed) to address. Whether you agree with the methods they used to stop boats arriving on shores, he said they would cull the numbers when he went to election and they did.

I don't mind people attacking the liberal party or Abbott personally (merely the face of a party?) for things seen as failings, but people seem to be attacking for the things they've succeeded in doing such as pursuing an election stance on a couple of key issues from the last election.

yes but they did not stop the boats they just stopped the media reporting what was happening.

Edit:

sorry that's too simplified version of it

they slowed the boats stopped media allowing to publish it, and then they moved to other immigration methods.

so we still have the migrants but they coming more ways.

and stop the planes does not sound nearly as impressive.

I love how you focus on the few promises they kept and ignore the large number they broke.

Liberal, Labor, I've made it pretty clear I think they're all complete cocksuckers out for nothing more than self advancement, but Abbott was an international embarrassment, right up there with George Bush.

It's all well and good sucking at your job, but when you're in the media as the face of a country, and come across as an actual retard, that's a problem.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

It was never an "issue" until howard had his lightbulb moment that he could use fear to his advantage, and made up a story about people throwing children overboard.

Rudd/Gillard ran with it for their own selifish reasons.

Fact is you do not get on a rickety boat, risking your childrens lives to come to a country to hide your money, especially a country where your money is worth less and shit costs more. You don't risk your childrens lives unless you have a VERY f**king good reason.

We probably have more scumbags dole budging in Frankston alone than the annual refugee intake under previous governments ffs. You wanna save coin? Start there, not with the people that actually want to work

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

And the in the last few weeks we have really seen the tragic consequences of turning boats around. (europe)

You can't say we are saving people by turning their un seaworthy boats back. That's having your cake and eating it too. If it's not safe, turning it back increases the chance of death. How is this complicated?

[scotty014]

all autobarn or just yours?

when it start?

It will be all of them, starts this coming weekend but only for saturday and sunday.

Everyone buy motul so scotty get free oil....

Yes haha, or buy autoglym products as they are under the same banner and i get free shit lmao.

Braybrook, near Sunshine.

Save $15 on oil, lose $4k on rims tyres

It's a great area filled with crack heads who are just dopey pricks. I have many funny stories.

Well that was there shitty decision to get on the boat. Fk oath turn it back numerous are clearly economic refugees not legitimate asylum seekers from war zones I have zero sympathy and taking countless amounts of these people destabilizes the values of our country.

If I was legitimately trying to escape persecution wouldn't I stop in the first safe place? Why risk life and limb to get to the more economically preferable location? Doesn't add up to me. I'd just be grateful to not have bullets whizzing by my head..

What other promises? I'm open to being enlightened, but any I've seen that they have not been achieved yet can/have arguably been the result of severe cockblocking from the rest of the house. It's a stalemate government and that's never going to get much done, let alone the reversal of an unseen debt.

Not saying Abbott et al have been doing a stellar job; I think Australian politics on the whole is in a mess and I think most would agree with that, but the leftist media (in particular the communist ABC party) have been giving him a damn hard run ever since he took office. I don't envy the position he had and any government Labor or Liberal were going to cop a hard slog in this term with a shit ton of debt and Pat's pay packet coming to a steady close.

It's sometimes war, sometimes poverty, sometimes government persucution, sometimes other things, sometimes a combination.

You have this rosey view that anyone can be successful if they work for it, but you don't seem to be able to comprehend that some people aren't simply born into luck like you were.

No one, puts their kids in a boat if they don't need to. You wouldn't go somewhere else you would be likely to live in poverty, especially given you are going to start again with nothing.
