It's called "Manslaughter" and not "Murder" for a reason. This is not the USA so the whole "Self defence" act isn't as lawful here in Australia. You murder someone by accident (Whether it be rage from finding your missus in bed with another man - yep - it's not murder if you kill the guy or if it's a drunken punch on the side of the road out of stupidty).

You kill soemone in any defence act it's classed as manslaughter. It may be out of self defence but you'll have a manslaughter charge - this is the case unless I have been taught falsely which wouldn't suprise me lol

So Manslaughter is a Charge. Just because you kill someone in self defence does not mean you will be charged with manslaughter. If the Police think you have acted unlawfully in the act of defending yourself you may be charged with man slaughter.

Have you ever done any security training and learned about the force continuum etc?

If you have defended yourself using appropriate force you will not be charged. I.e. if someone attacks me with his fist and I hit him once with my fist and he die's I would not be charged.

However if a person attacks me with his fist and I pull out a gun and shoot him I would be. The force did not match the threat.

However there are variances to this. So if a female was being attacked by a man and she shot him (with legal firearm ownership) in self defence she may be ok as she could say she legitimately feared for her like. However it is viewed differently if this was a male to male scenario.

    • Bah! I can't see the point in custom number plates at all. I went to the rego office, fished through a box of "premium" plates (the ones that had the "not as tall" option for the front plate) and picked the one that had a 32 in it. That's the limit of the effort and cost I will put into number plates. The only plate that I'd consider paying for would be 2332, but that's not possible here because it already exists from probably 90 years ago, and it would cost a fortune to obtain it, if it were available.
    • After chasing my tail with LS results..... and cheaper than a turbo swap... How confident are you that the dyno is accurate relative to other results? How fast is the car - What MPH does it actually run? Is this similar to what people running this power would expect?
    • Hi mate I am having an identical issue with my 98 R34 GTT. The engie suddenly cuts out under load at about 3-4k, black smoke out exhaust. Almost feels like traction control kicking in. No CEL but still going to check codes later today. Car was sitting in the shed for about 5 months before hand and only idled a few times, took her out with about 1/4 tank, filled up and thats when the issues started happening.  Threw on a spare set of coils/harness and checked plugs which was no help. Recently had fuel pump/filter changed so surely thats not the issue unless condensation in fuel, I just havent had the time to drain it It's running a hi flow turbo, bosch 1000cc injectors, walbro 450L, Z32, Nistune etc... All about 2000km old.
    • I always wonder where the obsession with legal/illegal spacing on number plates in the UK comes from. Because it comes up in comments in every UK-based video I see on youtube. From my point of view all of your plates look a bit odd. Just because there are no markings whatsoever. In Australia we have the state that has to be on it. In Europe you get stamps and state logos. Yours look a bit like a throwaway draft that people then stuck with. And attached with blu tack so that it falls off at the slightest disturbance. Not trying to hate, but it's interesting how things are done in different countries. Do you have to follow a lettering convention when choosing a custom plate?
    • Hybrid sounds like a supercharger... It's half a turbo, with a belt to drive it! Oh wait, they're just called super chargers...
