I'm pretty sure they are not real, the swastickers I mean.

I wonder which one charges more. In both cases if you play up you get screwed.

Tesla 3 Drivetrain. A lot less complicated drive train than a traditional car. Hard to justify the cost. [ATTACH]50614._xfImport[/ATTACH]

i had one of them fancy 'Push to Start' button cars. Had to have your foot on the Brake to start. Plastic switch on brake pedal failed so dealer sent a tilt tray.

This topic is the same as Politics and Religion, we all have our own opinion and no amount of bias argument and especially condescending comment is going to change that opinion. I agree that climate is changing because it is always changing from cold to hot and back. Have humans accelerated the change, yes of course, 8 billion people farting an average of 1 litre per day for a start and yes you and I have a carbon footprint. Everything we use has been manufactured from vegetable or mineral by the use of energy. I think most conservative thinkers don't appreciate the alarmists purporting we are going from Utopia to Armageddon. I think we all agree something needs to be done to reduce emissions for example look at the uptake of Rooftop Solar.

81 Years ago 13th JANUARY, 81 YEARS AGO WAS KNOWN AS ‘BLACK FRIDAY’ On this day, Eighty-one years ago (13th Jan 1939) with temperatures above 110°F (45°C) across Victoria and the state in drought, bushfires consumed 3,700 buildings across the state, 71 lives were lost and 5 towns completely destroyed- never to be rebuilt. The Royal Commission into ‘’Black Friday’’ concluded; “There had been no fires to equal these in destructiveness or intensity in the history of settlement in this State, except perhaps the fires of 1851, which, too, came at summer culmination of a long drought. ‘’At midday, in many places, it was dark as night. Men carrying hurricane lamps, worked to make safe their families and belongings Travellers on the highways were trapped by fires or blazing fallen trees, and perished. Throughout the land there was daytime darkness’.’ “The speed of the fires was appalling. They leaped from mountain peak to mountain peak, or far out into the lower country, lighting the forests 6 or 7 miles in advance of the main fires. Blown by a wind of great force, they roared as they travelled. Balls of crackling fire sped at a great pace in advance of the fires, consuming with a roaring, explosive noise, all that they touched.‘’ ‘’On that day it appeared that the whole State was alight.” [ATTACH]50602._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]50603._xfImport[/ATTACH]

Managed to Pry a smile out of me with that one.

When you travel through Asia you notice very few milk products in the supermarkets and 7 elevens, they really don't have much of a dairy industry. New Zealand and Australian powdered milk are very sought after. If you want to take a gift to a friend in Asia, take them some high quality Aussie powdered Milk.

Viplus Dairy Sth Gipsland doing very well. Makes 40,000 bags powdered milk and 30,000 tins Baby Formula per DAY, most going to China. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-09-26/flooding-rains-infant-milk-demand-buoy-regional-dairy-industry/11549534

2019 Mining contributed AUD$37.875 Billion 2nd qtr to GDP (highest contributor) https://tradingeconomics.com/australia/gdp-from-mining

Low dollar means very competitive export pricing hence volume i.e. iron ore and that dirty word coal. Without this input into GDP we would most certainly be in a deep recession or worse.

Don't worry about Flat Earthers, eventually they will come round.

I wonder if the siren started to lower in pitch

I have ancestors and I have descendants, so what does that make me ? I must be the descendant of my ancestors and the ancestor of my descendants.

Yeah they look great, I'm sure she will love em

Friend had a Prefect in early 70's. Had a worked 186. A 3 speed impala shift and little fat wheels. Engine protruded under a cover between driver and passenger. I remember he took on a Sandman from the lights, we had a ski boat with 200hp chrysler on the back.

What ! Blasphemy. Sure looking back now they are a bit pedestrian but at the time, a 1971 Hillman Hunter for less than $2000. 4 on the floor, a push button radio, WOW !! even a cigarette lighter (more use in those days) and very easy to rebuild the engine

Sh1t hey, very interesting

Difference is white man had to say sorry.

I read the ABC News website but I don't bother with anything headed 'Analysis' or 'Opinion'.
