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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
