There is a sign, that I don't have a photo of on the captain cook highway driving south just before Ellis beach that's about 6'x4' saying Cairns CBD 8hr parking limit between the hours of 0900 and 1700 on weekdays....

[ATTACH]48329._xfImport[/ATTACH] Another great employee.

When I lived in Canada it worked very well indeed, but to be honest that was mainly due to the amount of homeless. I always took my bottles back to the bottle shop for a refund there one because it was easy as I was already going there, secondly because of my outrage of paying C$50ish for a cartoon of beer in the mid 2000's I wanted every cent returned.... When I was living in "Sunny" SA, we never did it once mainly because I had no idea where to take them and the local bottlo certainly did not accept their return so we used to throw them in the yellow bin. What I did see was this little Asian fella, (I was living in the northern suburbs) who was apparently retired and a pensioner going around and collecting bottles that people had put beside the bin for him on his morning walk, he was fairly well know for doing it and we started doing the same. The fella would have been the best part of 100 years old and kept him fit as and topped up his pension!

I hope they keep him, he is the best in the party that I can see to be true representation of what labor stands for

To add to the above, i've had diesel mostly in the last 5 years and 95+ used to only be 8-10 \CPL more than 91, whats the difference these days? 15CPL+ more?

On my current petrol vehicle I haven't done enough long drives on tar to worry about it, i've done 40k in it and ild guess at 35k being 4x4ing. In my previous vehicles and company vehicles that I owned, it was only 95+ as i had calculated it to be a few % total saving and on average 10-15% extra km per tank of motion lotion. That was for highway k's and around town was 50-50 as to whether there was any saving but worst case was no saving, no extra cost. Only vehicle ive used that wasn't effective was a 4cyl 2wd hilux.

I now drive a v6 jackaroo and it uses more fuel than my v8 100 series.

My ex had an I30 and I would have put 10k+ km on it. Now I must say I have a dislike for the Hyundai and other similar cars but the i30d was great, would nearly buy one

I agree with the above. Most of the boys I knew who liked a drink were too interested in getting to the pub for a schooner and a punt to worry about anything else. The ones who ended up in trouble weren't drinkers mostly.

No one put a gun to their head to become drug dealers and traffickers

They were long time drug dealers and users before they got arrested and were part of a fair size drug syndicate. They were not innocent one time offending drug mules which may have had some of my sympathy

Sounds similar to the setup they had installed there. Any idea if your plans were used?

Yep that's the one!! I we had a team of chippys there doing all sorts of strange and wonderful things, best part was the monkey enclosure, we had 100' (maybe 120') boomb lifts there to apply the mesh across the tops but when used for height alone you got a pretty special view, Taronga has to be in one of the best locations in the city! Sure was a decent time getting to see al the different types of wildlife, some in cages, some just strolling by! Got any photos? Was that for the Asian elephants as well do you know?

The zoo would be my favourite attraction in the city, and you would get to see some of my handy work, we did the not so new anymore upgrade In 03-04 for the elephants.

Only based on my observations but I couldn't disagree more, out of my social group my friends in the 20's nearly all are on the conservative side, friends in the 30's-40's much more split. My thoughts behind it being the different stages of life, pepole in their late 20's mostly don't care about hospital funding, schooling (assuming that they have already studied) and other similar stuff, they care about the economy, getting a better job and a better start in life. And conservative ideas were pretty popular when ALP governments got thrown out all across the country only a few years back. I still believe the issues at the moment is that they are all rubbish. My vote will always be able to be brought for the price of a department/ minister of aviation!

Once again I think the issue is, Newman had to go and no credible other option, similar to the fed situation. Still not happy tho. Last thing QLD needed or could afford was more ALP government. I could tell along time ago that this result was a possibility,surely Newman could have done something to turn it around. It may be historic, but so is the titanic.

And the others watched it at the pub, apart from the fellas above that is

CPL, MECIR, ATPL theory. And to be well lubricated for a entry level job in aviation!

How do you show the public the effect of the tax? I'm still completely blind as to the effect it will have on my business but know that it is going to effect about 90% of my costs and will further increase when diesel if taxed in 2014. I think that i will have to increase prices a few times between now and then when i realize the full effect of the tax. I think this will be the same with allot if not most small business that don't have the resources to study the whole effect of the tax
