The default limit would be 50km/h, but in a stream of traffic if you are unsure of the speed, slowing down to 50 when the real limit might be 70 isn't a good idea. Quote: “I think it's just the culture of this area. Drivers here are bad, too. No courtesy or respect at all, illegal turns, changing lanes without signaling, etc. I have a good thing going here, but a sizable part of me is excited for when I eventually move. I even see cyclists without helmets. Doesn't make any sense to me.” Pedestri…

Quote from Esmo: “When you say 'convert', do you literally mean that a driver going past is not notified as to their role? Because that's wrong. But if they are, then to be honest, it just strikes me that they're legitimate speed cameras on wheels.” You have no idea if they are a camera when you pass one; and the tolerance apparently is set to "0km/h". [That's what they publicly state]. Fining people for doing 62 in a 60 zone is silly. Quote: “Why not indeed? But how do you decide who will be ab…

No, we don't :mad: It's OK to a certain point, but we've really crossed the line..

Quote from Aannddyy: “Increasing the number of speed cameras does not save lives, it only it only raises government revenue. I'd like to see simplified speed limit zones, as in one certain speed limit through towns and cities, and a seperate speed limit for highways and freeways so we don't have speed limit signs littered throughout the streets.” Amen to that. I was on a road the other day near Redcliffe that had a 70 section that was only like 200m long! It went 60 > 70 > 50 > 70 > 80 > 60 > 80…

The other day, while I was driving, I noticed that the QLD Police were at it again- lowering speed limits needlessly and then installing speed cameras to catch out unaware drivers. I'll give just a few examples :- 1. Deagon Deviation. Nice straightish road with gentle bends. It used to be 100km/h (the last time I drove it would have been February) however yesterday I noticed the limit has dropped to 90. No real reason, just the police f*cking us over. 2. Hornibrook Bridge duplication- so we had …

In our country, each party has very little political difference- they've both combined. ALP are still for big government, lots of spending, lots of taxes, lots of useless junk etc. Liberal-Nationals (the term Liberal here is a bit contradictory, they are actually conservative) are for smaller government, less taxes (hence all the tax cuts in the Howard era) and generally less spending The economy is generally run better under a Liberal-National Govt, however Labor tend to spend more on Health an…

I know, I think it's a bit disgraceful that they knifed him instead of getting behind him and fixing their problems as a team. And I felt sorry for him seeing him cry on TV, I think yes he was trying his hardest an among the shit that he faced over the last 2 years, I think he did do a good job. That doesn't mean that I was planning on voting Labor before or after he was squashed, though. This coup highlights what I hate about Labor and politics in general- there are heaps of invisible faceless …

So wait, it's illegal to use P2P software?

How are we a hellhole now that we have a female PM?

Gillard has won the vote. Rudd has stood down. Can a mod please change the thread title accordingly?

Quote from Jarndyce: “I saw the live newsflash tonight on tv. Interesting that Gillard has been lying to Australia for the past few weeks saying she was 100% behind Rudd. It brings back such fresh memories of the Liberal power struggles. Only they weren't in power at the time.” I think she didn't want the job until the factional warlords pushed her and put their support behind her. It wouldn't be a good move for her to have said in the last few weeks that she wants to challenge if she had no sup…

More in-Labor fighting tonight... again. Apparently Gillard and Rudd are having a meeting as key ALP ministers want to sack Rudd. Labor in talks to oust Rudd - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

the egg is above all :o

Didn't they find that chickens are related to dinosaurs? I thought I read that somewhere... Therefore the answer is neither, the dinosaur did

Quote from jazzr93: “I'd like to see Rudd win again, though lately his popularity has gone down” On a personal level, I like him 50 times more than Abbott. Abbott appears to be a good guy with good solid morals, but as a PM Rudd just out classes him and looks way more professional. If we still had Turnball as Liberal leader it would be better though. Another Newspoll is out this week and it would probably hold Rudd's future. They actually called our household yesterday for the survey and I said …

Update: Penrith vote basically locked in, 26% 2PP swing to the Liberals and the biggest ever recorded electoral swing in NSW history. Liberal vote is basically double the ALP vote :o

Quote from rmg126: “One Nation. hukaio.jpg” They are a bunch of racist fucks who have been blown into history. Btw by-election in one of the state-NSW seats (Penrith), seat shows 22+% swing to the Liberals. Definitely bad news for NSW ALP state gov (not much of a reflection on Mr Rudd though).

It's not just happening federally, but also in the states. Labor are in power in 8 out of the 9 Governments in Australia, but that's certainly set to change. For example -> Federally, opinion polls show Labor on 47% and Coalition (Liberals) on 53%, 2PP -> They lost in WA a few years ago -> They almost lost in Tasmania earlier this year but only regained power because of the support of Green MPs [Liberals won the primary vote but it was a three way hung parliament] -> Almost lost in South Austral…

Well haven't things changed a lot over the last month? Rudd proposed a new 40% super profits tax on the richest mining companies without consulting anyone and has created a massive shitstorm. Support for Labor has gone down the drain, and apparently some members of the ALP caucus want to dump him as leader as early as next week :o Quote: “KEY Labor MPs are prepared to move against Kevin Rudd's leadership to make way for Julia Gillard as early as next week. A challenge depends on Labor's polling …
