That trike is ugly and unsafe. If the front has two wheels trikes are much safer. The Honda trikes maimed and killed a generation, they are inherently unstable at speed our on rough uneven ground. You have to ride them like a dirt track racer for stability, a skill far exceeding most riders esp kids. It was smart policy banning them, like giving kids a loaded gun to play with. The Yella terra Goldwing is much safer as a motorbike. As a trike you are wide as a car but the front wheel cops every pothole the rears escape. The worst bits of a bike and car combined.

Has long been a greens policy to lower the age to 16. You can get a gun,join the military, drive, work full time at 16/17. So why not vote? In some USA states you can be a 3 year war veteran but not allowed to legally have a beer. I think it's a great move. We have a ridiculously low 12-14 years age of Adult crime sanctions. In that basis they should get to vote at 12 or 14 years. We seem happy to load teens with adult responsibility but not the benefit of a say.

Well done Jerry. You have a smug grin and a good Aussie red to celebrate. -
Keep in mind 2/3 of prison population have a mental illness and most of those have never had proper treatment prior to jail. Our mental health system is a afterthought to politicians and doesn't make great headlines. But getter tougher on law and order gets cheers from the right wing media. It's a race to the bottom, how poorly we treat those in society that need help. It's a race to the top of the pile for the rich and self entitled.

Well done One-track, We are pleased you have change your mind. Even if you never get shingles the benefits of reducing dementia are worth it. Cheers

So a army is communist? Try having one that follows the profit and corporate model.

Have a ring around to different doctors and chemists. The price may differ greatly, I know it does for other injections. Ie . semiglutimide can be $400 or only $250 at a different chemist.

Having a extremely painful dose of shingles across my chest and stomach, it's a serious thing. It lasted on and off for six months and small flare-ups for about a year. No matter your history of health , if you have the antibodies, you are at risk. Especially as we age, the odds drop and so does your bodies ability to fight it's effects and reduce the severity and longevity of the disease. Taking two little jabs in the arm is the best insurance medicine can provide.

For all his faults, Fraser ended up been a great ex pm, he used his position for social causes and excelled. Unlike every Liberal ex pm since.

It should be noted that the only one in the world who could kill Hitler was Hitler.

For water crossing, unless you can safely walk into the water and check total depth, ie safe enough to walk into then it is a no go period. Cars,4wd and even trucks are no match for running water. If you don't trust it to walk through, then stay away. That means the driver does the walk not a passenger, so the idiot behind the wheel pays the piper. If someone dies, you the driver have killed them and should expect a manslaughter change or dangerous driving occasioning death. There is absolutely no excuse. A goal sentence is the only adequate response. No remorse or I thought it would be okay is enough. We don't accept it in boats or aircraft and vehicles should be the same. Every flood event sees some idiot kill themselves and often others with a it's fine attitude. And the poor rescue guys risk their life to rescue them.

Climate change or global heating is really kicking in fast. Meanwhile new mines and gas ventures get a big tick and the world burns...

Now the storm has stopped in Port Stephens and the sun's out. But never count your luck, as I speak the wind went from zero to 25knts...bugger
-
I can certainly say it's fuckin wet and windy with huge swells in Port Stephens. Lots of flooding expected, down trees, pot holes that swallow cars and it's only getting started. It's only 4 weeks since our last disaster declaration and still repairing from that. Doesn't stop fuckwits fishing or surfing though. If they get hurt, they deserve it. The rescue guys are in big enough danger without wankers putting them at risk. No rescues except for imminent danger to life at the moment. Stay safe peeps

Holden- just holding together to get of the dealers lot. My friend's dad was a Chrysler dealer and cars came with rust as new and had to be repaired before sale plus replace the dumbshit email carb for a Holley. The factory always screwed the dealer, that's why they failed and went bankrupt. Even modern ice cars have problems in silly areas, everytime I see a white Mitsubishi car or ute from 2000-2015, they have paint peeling off and leaving bare steel. I don't know if it's salt air but they all seem to peel off- only plain white ones. The locals add big stickers where it peels to hold on the paint. Absolute shit house paint jobs esp for a plain white, not all panels are gal dipped, pathetic for a expensive mega bucks ute. My partner's Lancer looks like it's got skin falling off. All the shit they gave Alfa for rust and the Japs rust and peel but the Italian is unheard of to rust for a modern one. It's rare to see a modern jap box over 10 years old without the clear coat stuffed for metallics. Not bloody good enough. Meanwhile this southerly low is very rocky on the boat.

All good points. I was thinking how when doing a press conference about the report stating his club had been horribly racist against black players including insisting their girlfriends get abortions etc. And the prick said it was a proud day for the club, and he meant it. His sins are many

I would watch if they put Eddie Maguire head on a spike to kick off the game. That is fair sport

Forget the fake Chesterfield, they cost a bomb and wear out real fast. Buy a quality real leather one 2 nd hand and it will have quality in build and comfy long life cushioning. It really pays to wait for a real one to come up. Fake leather wears fast then looks shite. Just bought a $5000 Italian lounge for $1000 as new for art studio, very high quality and far cheaper than a fake new.

Anyone want to buy a bridge, going cheap? -
Never been called Maga anything before. I am a life long social ecologist. About as far left from Maga as Jupiter.

The nats were never going to stay out, but used it as a dummy spit to get a better deal. Losing the extra wages and huge perks, as the opposition party was never a option. Barnyard and co my be on the outer, however they are still very much the same bunch of knobs. I notice Price got demoted from a potential cabinet spot but still got shadow Defence and something else- money, resources and power for a traitor. They are the same devious scheming fuckers just the faces out front change.

Another page from the fascist playbook . Remove the intellectuals, the free thinkers, anyone who may disagree with "maga" thought. Next it's jail anyone who will not bow to his power. This has already started by detaining immigrants and visitors to the USA, merely on impressions you are anti trump. Very scary stuff
