What other promises?

Almost all of them?

Part of politics in Australia is having policies that are actually good enough to get through, not just coming up with whatever you feel like and complaining when it is blocked.

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.

I don't know about that, in a world where western countries have kids just to get handouts and in some countries children are born and sold into slavery, it would not surprise me if some are used as tools, possessions and pathways to better lives. I think some would get on board legitimately not understanding how risky it is getting here and the slim shady chances of getting in.

Slimmer now.

That's a fair and true statement statement to make, but IMO does not mean they haven't tried to keep the promises they went to election with, or that they have necessarily back flipped on issues / stances (the traditional politician's path to breaking promises).

I'm not going to say that's not possible but it would be the EXTREME minority

Your literally talking about economic refugees it's completely different and don't think for a second they don't have other choices those crappy boats they put a fortune to get on.

I won't for one second feel guilty about being fortunate enough to be in this country.

I'm taking about refugees in general. Of course they don't have a choice, do you think the preference boats over planes because they like the sea air?

No one is suggesting you should feel guilty, just that perhaps you could look at it from their perspective, rather than your priveliged white Australian middle class perspective. They aren't here to steal your job and f**k up your life, they are here because they are desperate to have a better life themselves. If the situation was reversed you'd do the same for your family... any of us would.

Legitimate refugees yes. Economic refugees no.

Middle class come on brah that's a low blow

Class is defined by socioeconomic status, which in itself comprises income, education, occupation, geography etc...

You live in the west, work full time and have no higher education. Welcome to the middle bitch

I made 3.

You live in the west. You are proud of this and state it often.

You have no higher education. You are proud of this and state it often.

I'm not sure if how many hours you work these days but you have previously stated that you work hard / a lot.

2 out of 3 ain't bad unless you have moved and got a degree in the last month

so... someone living in cupboard in toorak with a PhD in cross-stitching working full-time at Spotlight is living the high life?

Lol not really, the geography piece is linked to how your finances are geared vs income etc.

Although a lot of places in Toorak are not a lot bigger than cupboards, hence it not being the most exxy suburb anymore.

I also dont think a PHD in cross stitching is offered.

    • For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.
    • Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?  
    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
