Actually guys and gals we don't legally have the choice not to vote (unlike the US.) If you are over 18 you have to register and vote otherwise you can be fined... Of course you can just not turn up and risk the fine, don't think it's very much from memory..

Also even if Mz Roberts was ousted do you think the Hoon laws will change or disappear???? Doubt it somehow...

Brett, Your correct on both accounts, most likely the law would stay in-place, but doesn't mean we have to leave the bitch there to come up with other ways to make our lives worse. She has plans to add additional restrictions to the anti-hoon laws, including exhaust note and loud music:(

some religons it is their choice not to vote - and i was brought up in one of those religions (yes a long time ago)

I know legally it is required and if they do catch up with you - you do get a fine ..... but usually if you write a letter explaining your religious beliefs they let is slide.

And as Magic1 said, 100% of you will be voting against her since she is a minister for labor.

Vote for liberals, send Colin Barnett letters regarding it as HE is the one to gain from it (since he is the opposition)

The most worrying part about it is Michelle Roberts is trying to pass an amendment which allows people to dob in hoons, rather than it only being up to the police who physically witness the event.

Another scenario: Mr X's girlfriend leaves him for Mr Y. Mr X is PISSED, phones up the police and says he and his mates saw Mr Y doing a burnout in some carpark (with loads of old burnout marks to cover it)

Mr X has other people to back up his story; Mr Y is screwed.

This is a PATHETIC idea (why are we paying them good money to come up with such spastic responses to hoons????), and the current hoon law is a joke when it comes to, as said, peoples 3rd chance. Of course they should stop, but in the heat of the moment they might think they can get away with it, so will try and drive dangerous ly to do so.

Out with Michelle Roberts.

By the way, a mates car got stolen last week after the theieves did a ram raid on a bottlo ... got caught up in a police chase and were throwing bottles at the police cars. They got away because they drove up a one-way street and the police weren't allowed to pursue. If it's as easy as that to get away from police, then this is going to be an added incentive for the perpetrators to just run.

I really dont think voting should be compulsary anyway.

Lauren, that's something the Liberals would also like. Basically because political apathy is far more prevalent among the less socioeconomically fortunate.

If voting were no longer compulsory we would not get the same result with less votes. The result would be totally different.

I'm not, because people who have no idea what's going on with the governments (most of Australia) generally don't follow politics

Therefore if it weren't compulsory, then only the ones interested in politics would vote, and we'd have a government whose policies are most important for society, rather than the one who has been in the least embarrassments (which they'll read on the front cover of a newspaper and therefore sway public opinion)

That would mean that the government would only represent the few that voted, as much as I hate that dumb people are allowed to vote, I still think it is the better system.

Without wanting to get off track, I'm voting against labour cause I don't want this bitch to have any more say:D

I agree there's people out there that have no idea who or what they are voting for anyway.

What other countries are there where voting is compulsary? i dont think theres that many left.

I think we should all enter a dictatorship and make me your leader! :)

if that makes any difference to the laws she's put in place i'd be very suprised - she'll just be replaced with another bitch ...... i dont think whoever gets voted in is really interested in the minority groups and what they want .... they just want to appease the bigger groups like families and the older generation that makes up most of the voters by painting a picture that the youth of australia is out of control with their hoon cars and going into clubbing areas at night ..... and they are going to put a stop to it for the good of all. :)

Politics is just marketing ...... its like macdonalds series of ad's trying to paint a picture that its healthy to eat maccas ...... the politicians are trying to paint a picture that thier poisonous laws are just in the countries best interest to swallow.

So Niz what you are sayin is dont vote for females?

LOL male politicians are even bigger phuck ups ..... example: George Bush

In fact i think politicians are a species of their own from a far distant planet to make our lives miserable.

Up comming election is federal not state, state is at least 6 months away.

If you want to do something target public servants who think these policies up, or police commissioner etc

Michelle roberts is just a figure head puppet.

Liberal labour wouldnt make a lick of difference with a law like this.

breathe in breathe out drive sanely in sane areas.

a petition with 50 000 names would be alot better as an idea to show the idiocity of these laws

Tom

Agreed, A petition should be done now, shown to Ms Roberts, if nothing is done (likely) then if Liberal gets in in the state election then show it to them, then there would be a slight chance of getting it changed, more chance than if Labour stayed in. Worth a try.

I was having a walk at lunch time, and some tool in an ALP shirt was delivering ALP flyers for Kim Mackies "Making a difference in Swan" on a scooter. This dick proceeded to break almost every know road rule in delivering this junk. Where are the cops when you need them. Be funny to see one of there own being done for his hoonish antics:D

    • Food for thought, the stock oil filter thread is a 3/4-16 UNF, which has an ID of about 10 to 12mm (according to ChatGPT lol). Now compare than to an 10AN, which has an ID of about 14mm (Raceworks is 14.2mm, Speed flow is 14.27mm).  
    • Yep, totally get that. However hooking in for Generator back up is only a few hundred bucks for the wiring. You could put a couple of those in (for different circuits explicitly) and run a couple of baby generators. Bonus, you can balance them across different circuits, and now have backups in your backup. I'm looking at buying places that won't even have water etc, and I don't mind the idea of getting off the electric grid either, even with everything you've said. This country already has enough power outages that even the mains grid isn't that reliable anymore. I do agree though on spending a bit more to get better gear, and to add some extra redundancy in to the system too.
    • You can set hard reserves on your battery system, and it can't be discharged past that.  
    • That sounds like an excellent idea. But total self-sufficiency means exactly that. You have no-one else to blame when your system faults out and you have no power for a week or two while it gets fixed. You'd have to go the whole hog and get a diesel genny and all the switchover gear, to get you through such times. And, despite the fact that over 20 years, my system has been pretty reliable**, I have seen so many inverter explosions (or less dramatic deaths), panel and roof JB fires, and so on, over that time, to know that the stuff is the same as any other bulk Chinese manufactured stuff. The failure rate is well above zero - both on the equipment and on behalf of the meth addled installation labour force. And then..... warranty and means of redress against the supplier you bought the gear from. Best I can tell is that only a handful of solar companies are still around within 5 years of starting their advertising pitch. They disappear and phoenix like crazy. So, as per 1st paragraph, I suspect the only way to is go balls deep and spend maybe 2-3 times as much as you might think, so that you have every base covered. Plus, know and understand your gear intimately, so you can diagnose problems, sort them out yourself, etc, etc. Plus, probably have to consider upgrading various parts as the years pass, to maintain compatibility with newer stuff, performance and reliability, etc, etc. Whereas, remaining attached to the grid has an ongoing cost that keeps going up even if you use bugger all power from it. But it does provide the fallback in case of the worst case with your own gear. You either pay up front or as you go, I suspect.
    • Add more solar panels to the array. Call the electricity company and tell them you're moving out... Live off grid electric wise
