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.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
