Youtube comments of Ian Montgomery (@ianmontgomery7534).

  1. As an Australian it amazes me that some Americans can't see through Mr Trump. Your Grand Jury system is ideal for looking at these crimes.

  2. I am not a teacher but occasionally I helped a Chinese friend teach English at his school in China. I found two things that I found to be important that are likely overlooked by people. the first is to teach them how to position the tongue when pronouncing letters that are pronounced differently in their native language. the classic is Chinese saying "Sank you" rather than "thank you". I taught our house keeper how to position her tongue and she pronounced it perfectly straight away. The other is acknowledge that in reading we use a different part of the brain to read words than they use to read symbols. Even just saying the first letter of a word can often jog your memory of what the word is as they treat the whole word as a symbol. Once it is explained to them they improve remarkably. I like the fun in your classes.

  3. When I lived in China one of my mates Matt was the chef at the Holiday Inn steak restaurant. A mate and I went for dinner and Matt cooked Australian style hamburgers for us. A couple of Americans saw what we got and came over and asked where it was on the menu. We explained the situation and Matt came out and agreed that he would cook them for the two Americans the next day (they had already ordered from the menu). the feedback was entirely positive.

  4. When I was in China I complained to one of the Americans about the taste of their chocolate. He said they need to be different to cope with the heat in America. I pointed out that Australia gets hot as does China. Hmm was his reaction.

  5. what a load of crap. Now is not the time to take or not take responsibility for past actions. now is the time to take action for current situations. The actions taken in Victoria were in accordance with the National cabinet anyway.
    95
  6. Youtube have to get used to the idea that they are International and that we have different ideas and morals to the USA. Some of the problem are caused because machines are involved not humans - an instance is when British people tried to register their address in Scunthorpe and the machine picked up that the four letter word was contained in the legitimate place name.

  7. When I lived in China I went with my secretary Mei to the hairdressers. The guy was standing behind me but doing nothing. I asked Mei what was the problem and the guy told her he had never cut hair that wasn't black. I got her to tell him to not worry even if he made a mistake it would grow out in a couple of weeks.
    84
  8. The main reason he got back in is that so many people actually agreed with what he did during the height of the pandemic even if it was detrimental to them.
    78
  9.  @Isutaki  It is very much the Chinese way. I used to have to go to the toilet and then pay the bill on the way back so that I actually got to pay the bill -my girlfriend often called me Mr Sneaky but really Chinese often did it that way too. This ha[[ened even when it was obvious to all that I had the greater capacity to pay and was quite prepared to pay. I think it great. Every now and then I would let them pay.
    60
  10. Must be how they make it America. I lived in China for four years and kept a constant weight.
    52
  11. neither side are taking any notice of what the UN says so move on.
    41
  12. Whats with the HE can't afford a third wave - it is WE who cannot afford it just as much as he.
    39
  13. yeah we can't allow the Chinese to have that can we.
    38
  14. Well i guess the European auto manufacturers could close their US factories. If China buys VW then this will probably happen anyway.
    38
  15. the other thing I can't understand is why registration plates are not compulsory on the front of all cars/trucks.
    37
  16. As an Australian i am aghast at what you were discussing in this video. I hope that no one in Australia tries to replicate the harassment of electoral workers here.
    37
  17. The bigest problem is that Mr Keating is basically correct. the USA views China as an enemy because they can't have a rival as that does not allow them to waste so much money on defence spending. Imagine the unemployment in the USA without the vast sums spent on military and weapons. China can't "invade" taiwan as you can't invade yourself (in their eyes). They expect that eventually the taiwanese will want to be part of the PRC and are quite willing to wait years for that to happen.
    35
  18. As an Australian I am aghast that guys like this can actually be elected. i thought some of our pollies left a lot to be desired but Mr Cruz is a level far above them.
    34
  19. is this woman for real or is she just following a script.
    34
  20. Sued by a political animal? Since when has applying the law and putting before a court been a problem?
    33
  21. it caused cancellation of flights from South Africa to Australia (on advice of the US Government) so i expect there was dust debris floating around but it surprises me if it was that far south.
    32
  22. The main difference I found is that you can watch the sun set in to the horizon instead of in to smog.
    30
  23. Well the AG is a Trump appointed post and the judge likewise. There must have been a very good legal case for the warrant. Until the warrant is 'opened' then you can't comment.
    29
  24. I can remember when we got the first couple of F/A18 centre fuselages delivered to Avalon Airport in one of these. It is a very impressive aircraft. the Loadmaster asked me what height we wanted the deck at to match our trailer but i told him to not worry as our trailer will just match wherever the aircraft deck is. That spun him out a little (remember this was 1983!) as he hadn't sen a trailer like ours before. I had great chat with him about his career and the jobs he goes on. It was a great day.
    29
  25. I am Australian and the thing I can't understand is why the US security services haven't stepped in and stopped this happening.
    29
  26. I wonder how this will affect Boeing Commercial seeing that all Boeing passenger planes have parts made in China.
    27
  27. I am Australian and I can't help but think that Ms Porter would tear Mr Trump to shreds in a debate as she has experience of the real world.
    26
  28.  @timjuhls  if you showed him a map of the US with bad Covid states marked in red he would think it was the election result! The man has an ego.
    25
  29. since when has something had to make sense to him. As long as he benefits from it its fine.
    23
  30.  @badpossum440  I am 70 today and I have had ate least 200 burned off and ten removed by theatre operations - it doesn't affect everyone but it certainly does exist.
    23
  31. i think the difference is that a 'way out' takes you to an 'exit' and the 'exit' is where you can actually leave the building.
    23
  32. hasn't he been bakrupt four times. Just as well for Fred Snr.
    22
  33. isn't it healthy that we don't all agree! There has not been enough informed debate over the submarines. Most people have their view clouded by the USA version of China. It is refreshing to hear Mr Keatings explanations of his position. As i lived in China for over four years I tend to agree more with his position than with buying these subs.
    22
  34. the Qantas pilot Richard De Crespigny (look hims up if the name doesn't register) was interviewd this morning and he said exactly what this man said. Pilots know!
    21
  35. yeah well the Gulf Of America is between Mr Trump's ears!!!
    21
  36.  @sk8n854  are there loonies in the middle too?
    20
  37. Law enforcement now qualifies as witch hunt does it. This guy is amazing.
    20
  38. Women in bars was new to a lot of people. Many years later there was a really bad storm and a woman was sheltering in the doorway of the pub. I got her to come in to the bar and arranged a cup of tea for her. She was surprised at how civilised it was.
    20
  39.  @1motomanic  You know what. The world is watching and scatching their heads at what is happening in the US - although we don't know what you are getting with Mr Biden we are happy to chance it against having another four years of Mr Trump.. You guys say that China needs democracy but if they look at the US election process they say - no thanks.
    20
  40.  @rontiemens2553  only if it doesn't affect your safety. It is does move it otherwise leave it be.
    19
  41. Georgia is good example of why you need to say the country you are from. If you said you are from Georgia most Americans (and probably other countries too) would not know that Georgia is a country itself as well as having a US State by the same name.
    19
  42.  @NonniMcMac  i too am Australian and i wonder if a Grand Jury can sue Mr Trump for defamation in his outbursts against them
    18
  43. and he will too!
    18
  44. Do they have an induction process where new members learn how laws work.
    17
  45.  @omarkharnivall2439  I suppose he got a lift home with the cameraman!
    16
  46.  @randygraham926  Until political donations are banned nothing will change.
    16
  47. Also completely missed the Torana.
    16
  48. as an Australian looking in to America I am surprised that someone has not helped him get to that grave sooner - they did it to JFK and tried to with Reagan.
    16
  49.  @earlysda  have you been to the forced labour camps in the USA - they are called jails.
    15
  50. but you can force them to have no one able to fix it.
    15
  51. It matches their no ability!
    14
  52.  @Garnet20 The judge is erring ob the side of caution. If he jails Mr Trump there is a good chance that the court may be stormed by supporters and although I don't like his decision i think i support them.
    14
  53. Trump is currently the oldest ex president since Mr Carters passing.
    14
  54. Expensive realestate in Australia depends a lot on location. Sydney harbourside would get my vote as the most expensive followed by the Toorak/South Yarra in Melbourne. The prices for houses have risen beyond the joke though. Land value is often what they sell for if the house can be knocked over and replaced by a couple of units - developers are really busy.
    14
  55. the answer is quite simple. We agreed with what he did which was follow the directions of the CHO which until legislation was changed he was compelled to.
    13
  56.  @PeteV.53 If Rupert was not a billionaire then he still wouldn't be revered in Australia.
    13
  57. Really this is not much different from the old days of pigs having worms and passing them to humans because of incomplete cooking.
    13
  58. I remember when I lived and worked there the scale of some of the factories was breathtaking - an electronic factory with 32 surface mount lines! I spent over four years there and loved it.
    13
  59. So he wants Americans to pay more to punish the EU.
    13
  60.  @BigZoe99  i have serious doubts about his level of literacy.
    13
  61.  @alicecobb7763  I am an Aussie too and I also feel for those who voted for him on false pretenses - ie Affordable Health Care is "Obamacare" but a lot did not realise that and also they didn't understand that they pay the tariffs not the foreign country and if, like China has done they refuse to export to the us then 200% of 0 is 0 and you can't buy the product either or you will pay through the nose for local production.
    13
  62. This isn't a barn find at all. It is where a collector keeps his cars.
    12
  63. That worm is a toy one. We also have the Gippsland Earthworm (Megascolides australis) which average a metre in length and can grow to 3 metres. They are found in Victoria
    12
  64. How is exposing a war crime a wrong????
    12
  65. It was worth it just for the joke but the rest is priceless too.
    12
  66. I love how these old trucks are in such good condition that they don't blow black smoke!
    12
  67. yeah you can throw a match in to liquid petrol and it won't burn but vapours loves to ignite.
    11
  68. i am not sure whether I have previously told you but my nephew took his son in to store that sold these collectable models and his son pointed to one and said that it is same as your dad. The guy asked how he had managed to get the model before him as he believed he had the first ones. My nephew says no i don;t have the model - I have the actual car!. the guy freaked. That car has since been sold to an Australian living in America.
    11
  69. Cow catcher is more often called a Roo-bar here in Australia. The reason for so many unmade roads is flooding - it makes it uneconomic to pave a lot of roads.
    11
  70. Of course he wouldn't endorse her. He may well support her but there is a process that should be gone through.
    11
  71.  @joyphillips1821  Can you explain deductible for me please - is it tax related?.It is the health care itself that is over the top and makes it unaffordable. If hospitals charged properly then you could afford it. Most countries seem to be able to manage to do it.
    11
  72. It is mainly for the central business district as in the suburbs you have wider streets and dedicated right turn lanes with arrows.
    11
  73.  @caw25sha  There are a lot in Australia too. My nephew has an Aveling & Porter roller called Penane.
    11
  74. I am Australian - can you please explain why you need to be registered or is it voluntary. It is a totally foreign concept to me.
    11
  75.  @Kim-dm4yb Thanks for that. Australian elections are quite different. We register to vote but don't register any affiliation and we don't have anything like a primary. Local branches of the parties select the candidates usually but sometimes head office will. We also don't vote for a PM we vote candidates in and the one with the greatest number elect the PM. Their choice is known before the election though. In the current scenario at the next election Mr Albanese and Mr Dutton will be the two likely candidates. It does annoy me that the federal government gets called the Albanese Government when it isn't - it is the Labor Party Government.
    11
  76. maybe not treason but sedition.
    11
  77.  @boataxe4605  I wouldn't think so. You can't obstruct them in any way.
    11
  78.  @whatsonyourchannel  you make a reasonable point but you have an unusual definition of contained. What if the cowling hit a person on the ground or even a bus. Basically what you have is shrapnel falling from the sky. It was very fortunate that people weren't killed or injured even though the engine parts didn't hit the aircraft fuselage. We didn't overlook it at all.
    11
  79. obeying Mr Murdoch's instructions I expect.
    11
  80.  @trevorroberts9584 I am Australian and I think your summary is fairly accurate.
    11
  81. They get around that by having things like Apple Authorised Repairers who still can't get the parts to do the repair.
    11
  82. I always wonder whether the noise of the blower is a cause of some problems. It is too high for us to know which blower makes the noise or not.
    10
  83. Australia uses sugar cane and wheat starch for our ethanol.
    10
  84.  @accomplisheddiplomat4091  You can monitor your blood pressure before and after you go to a chiropractor and often see the difference if that is an area they are treating. the spine carries the nerves and anything that restricts the nerves affects their ability to do the job. It is often not the adjustment that makes the difference but it is the affect on the nerves that does - cause and effect. I don't know about other countries but an Australian chiropractor will have completed five years of training at a university on an approved and accredited degree course. This five years may consist of a five-year Bachelor of Chiropractic, or it may consist of a three-year Bachelor degree followed by a two-year post-graduate Masters degree.
    10
  85. everyone seems to think that rare earths are hard to find - they are not. It is the processing of them that is difficult to do safely.
    10
  86. when I lived in China my girlfriend used to have two cats in the shower with her most times. They loved playing under the warm water.
    10
  87.  Faris Mee  sucking up to the USA is the on;ly reason we are in Afghanistan.
    10
  88.  @stanislavczebinski994  i would describe it as arrogant rather ignorant.
    10
  89. At least some Republicans believe in the rule of law. Pity more didn't do the same as Mr Burr.
    10
  90. As an atheist this frightens me.
    10
  91. he does have a track record of lying though.
    10
  92. Its good to see that the French are about enshrine the right to abortion in their constitution - but that doesn't make it compulsory!
    10
  93. they are hoping the Republcians in congress can do something to help them.
    10
  94. i thought that weak,Sleazy and weird were prerequisites for a UK PM whether they are out of touch or not.

  95. Most of those trucks on the bull catching videos were Toyota Landrcuiser troop carriers.

  96. Yep a red belly will slither over you feet to get away from you unless you have cornered it and it feels threatened.

  97. Its not a matter of believing one or the other but what is being said -If you are attacking someone then their retaliation is not terrorism.

  98. Iran may not be flavour of the month but it isn't officially an enemy so why shouldn't Western governments at least be polite.

  99. He ran away in fear from Vietnam.

  100.  @paulferrara9079  No it isn't treason - it is called sedition.
    9
  101.  @calus_bath_water  I think so but I trust Harris more (I am Australian)
    9
  102. I know very little Cantonese even though I lived in Shenzhen for four years but I had to deal with Chinese Customs on an import of a machine. It took three days of negotiation to get duty free entrance and it would have taken longer if I hadn't said a simple thank you in Cantonese as I left on the third day. He rang my colleague Harry half an hour later giving approval and said to harry that he "was impressed that the foreigner thanked me in my language rather than Mandarin" Harry had a good chuckle over that

  103. In Australia the ones that aren't street legal can get a special permit which allows them to be driven on the road for a specific time.
    9
  104.  @jayweb51  yes Ina the USA everyone sits on their fanny but in the UK and Aus only half the population does.
    9
  105. I am waiting for a reporter to ask Mr Trump to name the man who died instead of him.
    9
  106.  @kevinlove4930 I hope he remains former.
    9
  107.  @MuniPerez  for the tanks no but the occupants yes. they are just people nonetheless.
    9
  108.  @jh6752  Do you honestly believe that the Democrats wants Communism? Sure they want some socialist things like healthcare. maybe you should look at how countries like New Zealand and Australia conduct their healthcare and realise you would a whole lot better off with a universal healthcare system that reduces hospital rorting (I don't think you can ever stop it entirely no matter what system you have).
    9
  109. Really it is not hard. You just wait for the green light to be on in the street you are turning in to. It is no harder than waiting for a green arrow at a traffic light.

  110. I am Australian and from here it looks like Mr Trump is trying to start a revolution .

  111.  @saberruntv  Apple = think how do we screw our customers to make more money.
    8
  112. probably didn't expect a registered Republican voter would do such a thing.
    8
  113. People used to buy a house for security now they treat them as an investment.
    8
  114. Can a group of average Americans take a class action for defamation against the GOP?
    8
  115.  @johnnyrosenberg9522  Local laws may be the reason The UK specifies that chocalte must contain 25% cacoa mass but the USA has a minimum of 10%.
    8
  116. Why - because what he says is not clouded by American influence perhaps?
    8
  117. gee that Torana box is a very generous gift!
    8
  118. a mate of mine had an HQ panel van with a 308 and four wheel discs - it was a great cruising vehicle. he called it his virgin conversion unit.
    8
  119.  @pabloa_e  An interesting fact is that during the japanese invasion the city of Nanking (known as the rape of Nanking) had a German businessman John Rabe who was a Nazi Party member who was responsible for saving thousands of Chinese form being slaughtered. When I lived in China I did find that the older people resented the Japanese but the younger ones not so much. There is still sites that remember the Japanese invasion - in Xi'an there is still an air raid siren on the city wall.

  120. When is he going to rename 'the President" as "the Dictator"
    7
  121. Melbourne had 400 cases a day before compulsory masks and lockdown. Now has under 20. It works but it does come at a cost.
    7
  122. lucked out or luck in?
    7
  123.  @yonko728  they covered that. he goes from them to another farm to get used to being away from humans and then he can go whenever he likes.

  124.  @zedbou5040  i am Australian and I thought our courts had shortcomings -they are nowhere near as bad as yours.

  125. No more dangerous than changing the batteries in a torch.
    7
  126. I live by myself in Dandenong, which is a suburb of Melbourne, and I spend less than $80 per week on food which includes two nights of take-away. I do shop carefully and are happy to buy bulk and freeze products if that makes it more economic.
    7
  127.  @GunnarMiller yeah I have heard all the bulldust reasons before and you are right it is almost as bad a reaction as advocating gun control/
    7
  128. but the riots were in India weren't they?
    7
  129. In most recipes that use Golden syrup you could use treacle. I was surprised that when Ilived in China in the 2004-2009 I could buy golden syrup at the supermarket.
    7
  130. Just put the prices up and put a sticker on the windscreen explaining it.
    7
  131. Only problem with what you have said is that Toyota managed to export over 1million Camrys from Australia so they were able to do that profitably. Also some of the policies of the American parents didn't help. Ford were not allowed to design falcon to be LHD as well as RHD for instance.
    7
  132. When i worked in Shenzhen China a mate ran a nightclub so one night I took in couple of DVDs for an Australian music night. The crowd loved it and a few of the Americans were blown away especially the ones who happened to be musicians.
    7
  133. maybe Australia should call the AFL and NRL grand finals the world championships.
    7
  134.  @joymattson8549  then how did Donny get to be Pres.
    7
  135. it will be interesting to see where the USA gets titanium from without huge price increases.

  136.  @alexkilgour1328  Yes they really mean sedition not treason.
    7
  137. I am Australian and I look at your medical system in disbelief and hope ours never goes in a similar way.
    7
  138. I live in Australia, which has bush fires and floods, and I wouldn't be without an alert service. Ours are usually done by State emergency services rather than national but i don't doubt the capability is there.
    7
  139. When i worked in China I had a Kiwi visitor who was staying at a major hotel chain in Shunde city (part of Foshan, Guangdong). I offered to take him for a local meal and he was so happy as he was sick of the hotel menu. We had a great night eating Chinese cuisine so the next night we tried a local Japanese restaurant and the girls freaked as they thought we would not be able to order things. I knew enough to get us some beers and then rang my girlfriend who told the girls what we wanted. It so great to try different cuisines no matter where you find them.
    7
  140.  @troywhitelock6441  rubbish. The 15K was the figure they intended to sell over the life of the Chev SS not per annum. I was involved in buying the parts for the prototype Clusters for this vehicle and this was the figure we were given for planning purposes.
    7
  141. What about the thousands who stayed at home and silently supported them?

  142. He probably talks to it through Alexa or similar.

  143. That is a seriously generous gift box. the $1 you held up would be worth over $5.

  144. i can remember a flight in China where it was -7C when we took off and 34C when we landed. Everyone ran to the toilets to take off their thermals.
    7
  145. @Beyond Tribalism Yep America is making China stronger every day.
    7
  146. I am Australian and the whole voting system amazes me. If the electoral process was condensed in to 4-6 weeks then the amount of money donated (and the kick backs they expect) would reduce considerably. The other thing that gets me is that non elected people get to be in the Cabinet and head departments.
    6
  147. the problem is they require knowledge of, and adherence to the law and a degree of co-operation. In Victoria the only vehicles approaching a roadabout that you have to give way to are trams and emergency vehicles with alarms active, otherwise its just vehicle already in the roundabout on your right.

  148. seeing she is Australian i expect she wouldn't have much of a problem interacting with Mr Clarkson.

  149. My nephew has a 911GT2RS which he drives on the road to track days. It is not gutted out like a race car but it does have performance far in excess of what you can use legally on roads. It sounds delightful coming up my driveway.

  150.  @perla5921  They may be able to see that turbulence is ahead but they have no way of judging the severity of it with any accuracy. the problem here was it knocked out the autopilot (or so the report i heard this morning said) so they must not have been expecting it.

  151. the Monaro colour is called Mandarin Red.

  152. it is a toss up which is greater - his ignorance or his arrogance.

  153. another good Youtube series for you and your family to look at is "One pack Wanderers" which has a couple doing a circuit of Australia - they are so good that Mazda gave them a ute to use and then a car for Tasmania.
    6
  154. fair point.
    6
  155. many years ago (late 1970's) I helped out on a massage control on the Sunraysia Desert Rally when it was run in the Hattah National Park. There was a problem with a motorcycle that hadn't turned up at our checkpoint so we went out to find it. It took a while but we finally found the bike and then we couldn't find the rider immediately. We found him wedged in to a bush and we didn't dare move him after we ascertained that he was alive. We got specialists to come and recover him and he was not too bad as it turned out. A very eventful day.

  156. I have just got back from Aldi in Dandenong and there were no problems that I could identify. The person in front of me used a card but I used cash. Woolies and Coles appeared to be operating.

  157. I am Australian and when i listen to some of the most vocal Americans i often think that the national anthem should be Two Faces have I. Just as well most of you are not like that!

  159. is it any wonder that those of us from outside America listen to things like this with total amazement.
    6
  160. Even here in Australia we have people who don't think before asking questions. I had an Afro-American boss here at one stage but he had a few friends who were West Indian. the number of times I heard people ask the West Indians which part of the States they were from was amazing especially considering their accents.

  161. Interesting fact for you. I worked in electronics and I needed a part that I could source from the huge USA companies that sell them or I could get them from my supplier in Shenzhen. I got them from Shenzhen and then worked out that they had come from one of the USA companies so my supplier could buy them from the USA cheaper than i could.
    6
  162. I love how much the US banks will lose if USD is not used.
    6
  163. Not exactly. The USA needs to have enemies so they can justify what they spend on the military. Imagine the unemployment if they decided to reduce military spending by half. China does work in different way. When I lived there all the talk was about defending itself. Nowadays a lot of young Chinese refer to the USA as the empire and that is just the same as calling them the enemy.

  167. It gets me how the founder of the crypto exchange can get arretsed overseas, extradited, put before a court and get bail but know one seems game enough to charge Mr Trump with multiple charges from incitement to sedition.

  176.  @vulture4117  the law suit in Australia was over them refusing to honour warranty on machines that had been repaired by others. The ruling was that Apple couldn't refuse to fix parts that had not been worked on by the independent repairer - ie if you had a battery issue and then you had a software problem then they can't refuse to do the warranty 'repai' to the software. Our consumer laws are different to those in the USA.

  180. I refuse to use the self checkout at the supermarket and I always call the person on the register by their name and if it is a name I don't know how to pronounce it I ask and ask what their heritage is (most are born here in Australia but have parents who migrated here). I get a lot of very nice smiles as a result. I encourage people to ask about the person they are dealing with. I had a small skin cancer cut out last week and the plastic surgeon was young woman (late 20's maybe early thirties ) but she was very tall - around 190cm and Asian. She was built very much like my nephew's wife who is Chinese so I asked her about her heritage and it turns out she is Vietnamese. I don't remember seeing a Vietnamese that tall before and gee I had the bandages removed today and she did an absolutely fabulous job and it cost me nothing.

  186. China can simply put its prices up but I don't expect them to. They may invoke tariffs on any goods imported from the USA but they would more likely ban the import if they can get the same item from another country.

  187. The Falcon ute is nice. Ford didn't make a GT ute but a couple of dealers optioned them up and did a paint job on them. That dash looks terrific.

  196. well you are one of the best at having debts but they mean nothing to Mr Trump - he just defaults.
    5
  197. the main impetus for the end of our car industry was the Ford family itself, not the company, the family. They wanted to bring as much manufacturing back to the USA and once Ford decided to stop it became uneconomic for the sub-contractors to continue with only Toyota and Holden as its customers. Holden didn't really fail GM just followed Fords lead. Toyota never wanted to leave as they were exporting Camrys by the boat load from Melbourne.

  224. the State flags pre-date the Australian one as the States were colonies of England so they incorporated the Union Flag of England. In Victoria i think the crown was changed from the Imperial crown to the St Edwards crown in 1901 when Australia was enacted as an entity.

  238. is it to cover the cost of a loan car?
    4
  239. yep you are right. I run E10 (94RON) in a 6 cylinder Australian ford falcon which also runs on LPG. I get about 8% less kilometers less than I get running our standard unleaded (91RON). The car runs a little better on E10 though. What i do is i start the car from cold on petrol and when the motor warms up I switch to LPG. which gives about 20% worse economy but costs 55% of the cost of E10. nothing is easy these days but with what is going on in the Ukraine I am glad I have dual fuel. E10 cost me $1.61/litre 91 cost me 1.90/litre and LPG cost me 0.869/litre. I just looked online and already most outlets are selling E10 at $1.95/litre

  249. How are you sure that it was done by the Kiev regime and not by Russians in Ukraine that are sympathetic to the Ukraine cause or even a Ukrainian version of the Wagner group perhaps. They are more likely to be able to work out suitable targets. That is probably why it is being described as terrorism as retaliation by the government of a state you are invading is not not terrorism it is retaliation.

  265. the only concern I have in this case is that he should have got treatment sooner. It is great for DrTao to have done what he and his team did but it is a pity more couldn't have been done earlier but I imagine the reason is that surgeries in China improved greatly over that time and perhaps earlier on they did not know how to treat him. I went to a hospital in Zhuhai when i lived there in 2005 and it was very modern and well equipped compared to the small hospital i also visited. China has some really first class facilities and talent.

  266.  @camrenpr6259  I can't see the problem - if the people affected choose to not put the money in to super then it gets taxed at 35%. The change will make it taxed at 30% rather than 15%. Still sounds like a pretty good deal to me and a problem I might just be happy to have.

  272. I am Australian and I drive a Ford Fairmont AU1 Station Wagon from 1999. It is so easy to live with as long as you don't mind the fuel economy. As it is on dual fuel I use LPG on long trips which is rare now that I have retired. We always called them station wagons (or station sedans) as they got used to go to the railway station and then to the farm (station).

  277.  @gordonmccracken1209  ford did that and in Australia if the Ford territory found a mismatch or no signal then it froze the vehicle- you couldn't even shift it in to neutral to put it on a tow truck! I don't know whether this got changed though.

(Unattended means the driver is more than 3metres away from the vehicle). You have to be a lawyer to drive these days.

  304.  @eclecticapoetica  yeah 180 for two is not a whole lot different to 80 for one. I too buy free range eggs ($7 per dozen for 700g). I am not a big red meat eater which might make a difference as chicken and pork tends to be a lot cheaper than beef or lamb, which I do occasionally buy. As I have got older I do eat a lot less than when I was in my twenties!

  305. Biden should take the opportunity to dismiss the Supreme Court seeing they have given him the immunity. Perhaps he should ask the Pentagon what they would do if he ordered them to assassinate Mr Trump and then make their answer public.

  314.  @Digger-tw6hq  Don't know where you get that idea from. For the ;last ten years the medical and first aid community (especially the RFDS) have been advising against tourniquets and towards compression bandages. 1. Apply a pressure bandage Wrap a bandage from below, upwards and over the bite site. Extend it as high as possible (e.g. all the way to the groin). Keep the limb still (e.g. don't remove trousers). Use the same tightness as for a sprained ankle. Use a T shirt or other clothing if you have no bandages. Mark the area of the bite on the bandage.

  324. merry Christmas from Australia (39C in Melbourne today but Christmas day was a pleasant 30C), I had a delightful time at my nieces house. there were 15 or so of us. I drank too much red wine so took the train home and went back this morning to pick up the car!

  325. I heard this morning that they have just found a new species of funnel web spider and its even bigger than the usual one.

  326. I remember being put on the spot by being asked to teach the kids a Christmas carol. As I am an atheist this was not easy as I hadn't sung one since I was a child (I was 50 at the time). Luckily I could remember most of the "I wish you a merry christmas"

  327. The Chev SS sales were deliberate. they only wanted to sell 15,000 of them. When we did the prototype instrument clusters we were told that the entire run would be no more than 15K so that is why they did not advertise them. I think the reasoning was the overall fuel average for chev vehicles (in California I think) - if they sold more of the SS then it would have increased their overall consumption figure.

  328. In Australia a lot of our garbage trucks are dual control - LHD and RHD!

  329. I loved the difference in colouring between the perenties shown. The only lizard I know of that is bugger is the Komodo Dragon.

  330. I prefer the look of hers. I always wait until the cheese has started to go brown when I make cheese on toast. but these days i prefer to make a cheese jaffle.

  331. Did he say the East Indies? I think he meant the West Indies (unless my knowledge of cricket sides is totally wrong!)

  332.  @charliebaker1427  that is part of why they have a greasy coat. Why would you remove it.
    3
  333. i think i will start selling sausage rolls. I make a batch of 8 at a time. the sausage mine costs $10/kg and I use 500g. Two eggs $2.00 some breadcrumbs $020 and some sauces about 0.40 and the pastry $1.50 so all up is less than $9 for eight sausage rolls. At that rate i would expect them to be selling for around $5 each to cover labour cooking oncosts and profit.

  334. I use Firefox as does all the people I work with.

  335. This is a good reason to arrest him on Monday.

  336. It surprises me that they didn't use a helicopter in view of the distance- must of been a good reason.
    3
  337.  @ryanlicastro3041  Why don't you give it a rest. Private enterprise failed as much as the Government. he is not my beloved at all but I think he is doing an OK job. We were having the same path to normality until two things happened - the media showed the Yanks taking no notice of physical distancing and the protests being held here.

  338. even station wagons are more practical to SUVs in some circumstances.

  339. All the democrats should stand up and turn their back on him.

  340.  @dandare2520  Yes and one of the commandments admits it by suggesting you only believe in one.
    3
  341. Binfluencers are important here in Melbourne as we have three or four bins with different coloured top. If the binfluencer gets the wrong colour out then a lot of people will have just followed their lead and stuffed whole collection up.
    3
  342. When are you going to pay us a visit? The weather here is pretty good compared to what the USA is experiencing at the moment.
    3
  343. which one the 52 Lincoln Capri, the English Consul Capri or the English 67 Mk1 or later Mk2 or the Australian convertible one?

  345. we have a group of about thirty living around where I live. Three particular ones come down to our driveway every evening. i can walk withing a metre of them without them taking flight.

  346. Australians are well aware of the 6 months.
    3
  347. Whilst i think the words are bad a "death wish" is not a threat per se. It is merely saying you are putting yourself in danger - like a motorcycle rider not wearing leathers is often said to have a death wish. He could have found better words. His comments re MsChao are reprehensible.
    3
  348.  @ziggarillo  ever heard of ANFO that was used in bombs during WW2. AN was ammonium nitrate and FO was fuel oil. A diesel powered boat full of fuel and 20,000tons of ammonium nitrate (even if it is segregated) is certainly worthy of my concern. I would at least unload the fuel.

  349.  @kippertrace5808  Good luck if you are about to enter a tunnel which has an accident in it and they broadcast an alert about it.
    3
  350.  @Dutchie-r2s  They have been making parts there for years. The Chinese would definitely make sure that those parts are right so they don't embarrass themselves ahead of their own C919 project. You guys have to realise that quality problems with Chinese products are usually due to enforced cost reductions from buyers (at least that is what I found when I worked in China as we didn't have automatic cost downs - we only varied pricing when there was a marked change in raw material cost and that could go either way)

  352.  @hiramhackenbacker9096  Not only apologised but increased the penalty from the 1 match the ICC gave to a year. Sandworgod4771 should grow up and get real.

  353. I know of two racing Commodores that have been sold lately, one went for about AUD250,000k (not sure of the auction fees) but another went for considerably more than AUD500,000K and was a private sale.

  354. So the News network that told Victoria that it would have 1000 Covid cases a dat by now is pretending again that it is compentent at bringing objective news to the screen. try again people.

  358. This was apparently started by a diesel truck. Any EV that caught fire was as a result of that. My car runs on LPG and I think if there were multiple LPG powered vehicles in the car park you would have explosions as well. Your fears are well founded but EVs are not the only problem.
    3
  359. every objective person knows of a President who is acting like a 5 year old.
    3
  360.  @tgamer1510  Yes you are right but often legislation in one country then gets taken up by other countries so at least one has put Apple in its place.. Lets hope this is one case where America copies what other countries do, I would expect the EU will eventually.

  365.  @thesabre8458  They already have. the new batteries are glued to the case and are a non changeable item.

  366.  @hanskneesun123 Yeah if he can't sit in a court room for four days then how can he sit in the White House for five or seven days - Oh that's right he doesn't go there when he is President as it gets in the way of golf.
    3
  367. yes. That is why car companies will say whether their fuel systems are ethanol compatible or not. Here in Australia that can either be E10 or less common E85.
    3
  368. So the RBA wants us to spend less by spending more - just that we spend it at the bank rather than commerce. I can't see the sense in it.
    3
  369.  @thedbq1  then I suppose when you see a French man you expect him to be English and speak English.

  373. The Australian Commodore was an amalgam of the Opel Rekord and Senator modified for Australian conditions. Holden even produced front panels for Daewoo Royale as the same panel was used in our Commodore. I remember first seeing an Opel in China and it just looked like a shrunken Commodore. The main difference was under the bonnet. Our choices were 2.85 L I6 3.3 L I6 4.2 L V8 5.0 L V8

  374. the crazy thing with the chicken tax is that affected vehicles that are no longer made in the USA and the manufacturers are US owned.

  380. Do Japanese prices include all taxes? If not then that may explain the difference. TimTams have recently gone up in price to AUD6.00 for the smaller packet.
    3
  381.  @whatever-s3e  Yes it is but when I lived in China I didn't hear it called an empire but five years ago I saw it becoming common.

  382. yep to me a pram allows the child to lay down and a stroller lets them see what is going on and they can't lay down.

  383. the Australian equivalent of the Brazilian Charger would be the VF Valiant 770 V8 two door Mexico (it had the same buttresses).

  384. The name was what did it - the turn it self is a piece of piss and no harder than waiting for a green arrow.
    3
  385. i am Australian and I often wonder why there hasn't been another revolution in the US. the problem in America is you have two parties that seem to be as bad as each other.
    3
  386. Strange. I have read in two different English magazines that robbers actually didn't use Mk2s very often if at all, especially after Transit vans came about. Why wouldn't they have gone for the V8 Daimler?
    3
  387. It is situations like this that degrades the world's view of America and if nothing is done about this then they deserve it.

  388. You probably didn't get electric frypans because of your voltage only being 110V.

  390. Lucky for you guys it isn't ebola. Protests are OK if there isn't a transmittable disease around but wake up to the reality of the situation.

  391.  @tarmaque  As an Australian I am hoping you right and this never gets tested!
    3
  392. If you are interested a fellow youtuber called the CarWizard (he is in Newton KS) has one of these and is restoring it so keep an eye out for his videos on it. The only problem with the ID/DS was that they were a little underpowered until perhaps the last iteration of it. they came with a few different engines through their production. They were also assembled here in Melbourne Australia and were called the Parisienne model as they included local content. Nearly all of them were 1900cc manuals but ours didn't have power steering and I think they had a pendant brake pedal (not 100% sure but my mates did). I think ours had an aluminium roof. The DS23 has turning headlights.
    3
  393. I am Australian and I change my oil before Summer and before Winter which usually represents about 7000K between changes. My engine has done about 200000K and i use synthetic oil. I could live with doing it once a year but i use it as an opportuntiy to look at the condition of parts like ball joints when I do it.
    3
  394. the Mahindra thing might be a way of getting around the Chicken Tax (which is why you don't get Land Cruisers)
    3
  395. So without being privy to the evidence presented to the Grand Jury you can completely disregard their decision - that is journalism at its worst. The evidence led to an indictment and the court will decide the final decision.
    3
  396. I am surprised the parking rep could keep a straight face when he described the cut out as a walkway. In my country it is called a driveway and has no significance.
    3
  397. Mr Trump has this idea that if you say something often enough then people accept it as truth - that has been his way for years.
    3
  398. One of the ways to keep a horse calm is to not look it in the eyes. They are flight animals and are often also very curious so they don't 'act up'

  399. I'll still go to the local fish 'n chippers and pay $9 for one with the lot.

  400. I remember seeing one that was charcoal in colour and had a formula1 car painted on the side so at night it looked like an F1 car was passing in front of you at the intersection. I laughed the first time i saw it.
    3
  401. We are starting to do that but one problem is that we have always sprouted a "holier than thou" attitude because we hadn't had any proven ones. Things will be different from now on.
    3
  402.  @derbigpr500  maybe because you can still buy spares for them and making them is profitable for the aftermarket producers. (and yes I did used to own one).

  403. baseball reminds me of rounders.

  404.  @PhoenixNL72-DEGA-  it amounts to the same in his mind.

  406. people used to buy houses for security but now they are treated more as an investment.

  407. I got plenty of chuckles from this video! Thanks.
    2
  408. since when has expanding our industries not been in Australia's interest.
    2
  409. probably from the crest.

  410. A lot of appreciation of wine is down to what you are used to. I like wines from most regions and am currently drinking wines from around 2000 that a mate gave me. They are delicious generally but an occasional one is corked. The Shiraz i opened tonight says it has a black cherry flavour and they couldn't be more right! This video must be a few years old as a 2015 Chardonnay would most likely be past it.
    2
  411. All the surviving Holden concept cars are now in museums here. effigy, GTR-X and Hurricane are at Birdswood Adelaide, i think.

  412.  @apolloorosco6852  Were they planted?
    2
  413.  @baobo67  If you want a great in line six you only need to look at a Ford Australia Barra engine. Pity they aren't made any more. I have a Ford Falcon Fairmont wagon that has 4.0L i6 and it is a smooth motor.
    2
  414. In the 1886 case Ex parte Garland, the Court referred to the President’s authority to pardon as “unlimited” except in cases of impeachment, extending to “every offence known to the law” and able to be exercised “either before legal proceedings are taken, or during their pendency, or after conviction and judgment.”
    2
  415. You can find the tax spend by department nationally but you have to search for it. I have found it previously but can't remember what I input.
    2
  416. Mr Trump should find out how planes are made. Bits come from all around the world. The plane companies want their country to supply parts if possible,.
    2
  417. I live in Melbourne Australia and I never buy water as our tap water is so good. It does sometimes have a slight chemical taste but not often.
    2
  418.  @rogerwilco2  the problem with the compromises is that we voted a Government in to do specific things and the people that got less votes get to modify what we wanted.
    2
  419. Two things that make things expensive in Australia- the cost of freighting things from overseas to Australia and the exchange rate.
    2
  420. wrong historically. Tea should be made with water just before it boils ( same with instant coffee). You will seldom if ever get boiling water used to make tea in China who are the experts on tea drinking. If they boil water they will use it to pre heat the tea pot but not pour it on the tea itself..
    2
  421.  @esmeralda3858 I totally disagree. I spent four years living in China and no one there used boiling water to make tea and the price of some the tea was mind blowing. I go along with them and my favourite tea is Oolong and I never use boiling water and let it brew for four minutes or so but I am happy for you to do it your way.
    2
  422. Seats facing the street should be for passengers for buses or trams as they need to see the oncoming traffic.
    2
  423. Thanks for your concern - it is appreciated. The big problem for this recovery will be that there is shortage of a lot of things from cars to furniture and this will make it even worse.
    2
  424. Mr Trump looks to me to be a person who either has trouble reading and writing or has faulty vision. The way he acts is exactly like the three or four people i have known who suffer this way.
    2
  425. It is able to raise itself up to go over speedhumps. The jump is probably not intentional.
    2
  426.  @SafepathUS  The trouble is that the ones that did understand voted for Harris.
    2
  427. they might if they want a English person to 'overhear' them.
    2
  428. China is waiting for Russia to annex part of Ukraine with US blessing and the US to 'take over' Gaza on the pretext of rebuilding. Then China will feel free to blockade Taiwan and eventually annex it using Ukraine and Gaza as its precedents in ignoring International law. The US won't win anything whilst it has a failed businessman in charge.
    2
  429. Why do womes voices go up an octave or two when they talk to dogs.

  430. "Capsicum annuum". is the scientific species name for them.

  432. years ago when i lived in China I could easily buy TimTams in any city that had an expat population (ie Shenzhen, Shanghai )

  433. If he has secret service agents in his house then wouldn't they have reported the presence of classified material to the FBI.
    2
  434. I knew what the eye wash is and i have one.
    2
  435. I don't suppose she has bothered to look at the size of the roads in Europe. They are probably buying US built X series BMWs in Europe.

  436. happy New Year
    2
  437. On the contrary they do but they also care about how we view them and i think they would prefer it if we didn't do it through American eyes (as do I).
    2
  438.  @jeffjorden3340  same with Australian and British Parliaments too.
    2
  439. It is provided it is a small flock. Where I live there is a flock of 200 Correlas that come and go. the are a similar bird to a cockatoo in size but have a white crest and a pink band across their chest. They can make quite a rocket!
    2
  440. yeah I found it logical and well presented.
    2
  441. Someone in Australia just referred to these two in a perfect way - Elon and FElon.
    2
  442. or colours for a logo!

  443. I find it strange that they can't afford extra pay but they can afford to lose $50million in sales.
    2
  444.  thea lolo  have you ever been to China and lived under their Government. It is nowhere near what the Western media portray it as.
    2
  445.  @Volker_GR  Why - you can control the pedals much better barefoot than with any shoe - high heels or not.
    2
  446. Yeah I found that was the case when i lived in China. I wouldn't get in a taxi that didn't have seatbelts.
    2
  447.  @nevillewran4083  Yeah but they should resign from the Senate. No one voted for her dreams and goals - they voted for the Greens dreams and goals.
    2
  448. @Iyas kelu They haven't bothered doing it in the last 70 years. When they beat the Kwomintang they didn't have battles so why would they now. It is not the Chinese way.
    2
  449.  @peterwallis4288  America is the one that wants a war to feed its defence industry. China will just sit back and watch the USA waste money on its Attack Department. China is an invented enemy.

  451. The guy should get a Canadian licence and drive on it.

  452. I have heard that people graduating from Universities cannot get their copy of their degree unless they enlist in the armed forces. That is going to cause a massive brain drain in years to come.
    2
  453. Fox news should be taken off the air for this. maybe the reporters home address should be made public.
    2
  454. and next time it needs a service you know what to do.
    2
  455. Australia will always be divided as long as we call the alternative to government the 'opposition'.
    2
  456. When I was young (many moons ago) chips were similar to french fries just thicker and the ones you buy from Lays/Smiths were often called crisps (Smiths crisps was their ad at one stage.) Nowadays there are wedges and chips and fries but crisps seems to have gone out of fashion. i thought it made sense as they are crispier than a french fry
    2
  457. Do you think his plane would get clearance to take off? maybe there is a wall that would prevent him leaving.
    2
  458. The lady who thinks it is illegal to take someones photo without their permission should have a talk to a lawyer. A NSW judge in fact said in a court case that “a person, in our society, does not have a right not to be photographed” of course there are exceptions like taking photographs of children. The fact that the self service checkouts have cameras show that there is different rules in different places. I am surprised that the CEO didn't tell her employee to butt out.
    2
  459.  @MrBlaxjax  I am expecting that they have already started testing it in action. As soon as you use it once the cat is out of the bag anyway.
    2
  460. When I was in China I saw that in Guangzhou the fire brigade had a fireman on a motor bike who went ahead of the truck to scout for problems and to work out how to approach the fire so that the guys in the truck could immediately know how to set up.

  461.  @mgz282  Shes Australian so she would tell him to F-off and get real.

  462.  @RoverIAC  I think only cars 2 to 31 had the hump for homologation.
    2
  463.  @MrTallpoppy58  400 was the number of XC Cobras made not anything to do with the engine. 200 were 351 Clevelands and the second 200 were 302 Clevelands except for serial number 351.
    2
  464. I call AAMI stadium in Melbounre the "Bubble bath" as that is what it reminds me of from street level. The MCG also hosted Taylor Swift concerts and had over 96,000 fans each night for three nights. It used to hold 120,000 but it has been reduced to 104,000 (95000 seats and the rest standing)

  471.  @keza41  i suspect it was a waste of money but at the time it was a reasonable bet.
    2
  472. a name from the past that i recognise! I remember they used to have to swap mail once a week.
    2
  473. Does anyone have any clue as to what basis Mr Trump can use for an appeal?
    2
  474. i still remember hearing my American boss in China having an argument with his six year old daughter. He would only speak in Chinese and she would only reply in English (He spoke four different Chinese languages) My secretary used to listen to them in awe!
    2
  475. Now the media should start attacking Trump for all his mistakes in naming people.
    2
  476. can this guy even read proficiently. I didn't realise how self absorbed Mr Trump is as fortunately here in Australia we usually don't hear more than just grabs. I am also amazed by the reaction of the crowd - the con man has them well and truly conned. I used to call him Humpty Trumpty in jest but I now know it is a fair description.
    2
  477. I see China now has a "Maglev" train capable of over 340kph. How does the maintenance of a Maglev line compare to a traditional one do you know?
    2
  478.  @kenpachi6979  Thanks for that. Does that apply to country areas or only the cities?
    2
  479.  @duckersduck3096  Thanks for that. I get sick of people saying you can't live on this amount when they really have no idea of what the cost of living is in the country they are talking to. I am now a lot better informed thanks.
    2
  480.  @gitawrongtranslation-youtu9701  The only way I find out these things is to enquire which is what I have done here. I know what it cost to live in China a while back so I know it is a lot less than Westerners expect. thanks for your info.
    2
  481.  @demigod1013  he doesn't pay for anything - he gets donors to do that!
    2
  482. How is this a surprise. Sky news are continually sooking over labor winning the last election. We all do it when things don't go how we wanted.
    2
  483. if you look at our constitution you will find that merely defines responsibilities between State and Federal Parliaments. It does not in any way say how things like health, defence or even the voice shoudl operate.

  484.  @reboblic28  I wonder what will happen when Rupert leaves us.
    2
  485. the term hostages is the great bullshit I have heard in a long while.

  488.  @sorsorsor11  I don't have Google maps turned on on my phone nor have I allowed it to have a location confirmed in Google or any other app. The phone may track you but is it Google doing it or the phones software or perhaps a government tracker? the phone knows which cell towers you have been near without Googles assistance.

  489. the time taken to align the rod with them when moulding would negate any cost saving.

  490.  @jackkingsby116  he may not have been an innocent man but that is of no relevance. A police officer is not judge nor jury nor executioner except in exceptional circumstances and the video showed there were none in this case.
    2
  491.  @jackkingsby116  Ok thanks for the clarification. My apologies for getting it wrong.
    2
  492. is she deluded or what. I do agree that the jury should have been sequested though even if just to stop the bullshit claims that will no doubt come.

  493. gee those dogs work hard!

  494. When i lived in China I found I preferred their Coke to the Australian one. It was slightly less sweet.

  495.  @rukisar6312  Won't help with an Indian company I am afraid.
    2
  496. Pretty simple really. The other option wasn't palatable. Who knows how long his health will last.
    2
  497. Another interesting name is that Wal mart is already registered in Australia by a guy whose name happens to be Wal Mart! he trades under the name Economy Bolts.
    2
  498. China is only a threat in your imagination but if you keep on egging them on then they may well become one.
    2
  499.  @kellywilson137  yeah but the people this affects probably pay 100k a year for tax/investment advice.
    2
  500.  @yumyong3847  When TAA and Ansett were choosing a jet to buy local "offset" production was part of the deal. The 727 Rudders were made in Sydney and the Elevators in Melbourne -I think some undercarriage parts may have been made too but i less certain of that (getting old!).
    2
  501. We get US navel oranges when ours are out of season. They may be more orange but orangeness does not mean they are any better. Green oranges taste just as good as they are changing to the orange colour.
    2
  502.  @CryptoRenegade-x3o  the problem with his plan is that a 200% tariff on zero gives the same result as 0% tariff on zero. the Chinese refuse to export then all he has achieved is a shortage of goods - that may fix inflation if there is less available to buy.
    2
  503.  @kyliehill5112  Australia does not have an ID card system. Most adults will have a driver's licence or a medicare card but you can get an ident card called a keycard if you feel you need it.

  504. Not traitors but seditionists.

  505. The owners of the Bluey copyright should send a cease and desist for this.

  506. I have a couple of boxes of StHugo1997 Cabernet which i should sample again. last bottle hadn't reached a peak yet but that was over a year ago.
    2
  507. When i left school in 1973 (7 years after we changed to dollars and cents) a box of matches cost 2C (4 halfpennies)
    2
  508. Australia also had the Morris Marina but we also made a version with a six cylinder motor unlike the four cylinders in the UK.
    2
  509. I often had photos taken with locals, mainly children, when i was in China but mainly in tourist spots rather than just on the street. It eighteen years since I left China so i thought things may have changed but perhaps there are less foreigners there since covid.

  510.  @steveducell2158  As long as they only do it in congress then that may be OK.

  511. My neigbourhood magpies fly past me at full speed and about a metre away - they are not swooping just going about their business. i can walk within a metre of quite a few of them.

  513.  @mikeadams9302  I think they make enough guns in the USA for them to not import them and get tariffs.
    2
  514.  @markhaggerty4819  then why were we building the French ones? We already have submariners who can train the next generation.
    2
  515.  @vinm300  who says we fighting anyone? The Chinese don't want to fight but they will make sure they are ready if forced to.
    2
  516. Its amazing -they use the excuse of using genuine Apple parts when the repair didn't even need a part - genuine or otherwise.

  517.  Scott Cornwell  you better look up what a traitor is then.
    2
  518. You do realise that jets that taken off from mainland China are technically in Taiwanese airspace.
    2
  519. In Victoria Australia pedestrians do not have right of way at roundabouts and you must give way to pedestrians on a road you are turning in to (but not the one you are turning from) and on slip lanes. Pedestrians are expected to give way to you at roundabouts but of course you use your judgement as to whether they might even know the rules.
    2
  520. why worry. We have an Australian Falcon AU at work and when the battery goes flat and we want to get in to it we just put charger leads across the starter motor from underneath. Then we can open the car.
    2
  521. That is exactly why unions were created. Unfortunately they have got as bad as the employers in some instances.
    2
  522.  @Aes_Saru  Australia is very happy to not share a border with the USA.
    2
  523. Did he ever replace Obamacare with anything. I like Australia's system. Until you get paid 90k per annum then you are not compelled to take out private insurance if you do not want to. i am in that boat. I pay 2% of my income as a contribution to Medicare (known as the medicare levy). Over the years I have at least five full theatre skin cancer operations and another ten "see and treat" operations (just a nurse and surgeon) . I have paid nothing extra for any of these treatments. Of course this means I get treated in a Public Hospital but it one that trains a lot of the private hospital surgeons and don't get to choose my surgeon. I don't have a problem with this as I would only be taking my doctors advice anyway and there is a chance he would refer me to a surgeon in a private hospital that he is part owner of.

  525. the interesting thing is that if you asked people what in the document led to it getting the particular security level often they would be wrong.

  526. This is the reason why clusters now have codes that the system verifies the vin number before starting - at least you can't just swap clusters.

  527. Unfortunately he can still appeal.
    2
  528.  @TheoTugnao  No I am not. Who has bases surrounding other countries - not China but the USA. The Chinese are no more confrontational than most countries. When I lived there all I heard was defend against aggressors - no mention of attacking anyone.

  529. The ginger is a little expensive but it depends whether they are in season. A typical ginger bulb that you buy would be around 100gram

    2
  532.  @lordandrewbruceofthemcinne5046  FFS look at the video. It is at the base of it in large letters. It should be spelled millimetres but we would accept millimeters if it was done by an American.
    2
  533. our Constitution is racist anyway - read section 51 xxiv! The bit about no specifics is spurious. If you bothered to read the Constitution you would realise that it basically is a document that sets out responsibilities for the Federal Government that had previously been done by the colonies (they became States at the same time and have their own constitutions). It mentions defence twice I think (other than in the preamble which has no legal significance). Re3 the government could have introduced the voice without a referendum using its powers under section 51 xxiv. The main reason the vote failed is that people have SFA knowledge of the constitution and imagine it is like the US one.

  534. 368 yesterday so maybe it has.
    2
  535.  @colinwoods5663  No problems - I can and I also know that the figure for 27 Jul (which is now yesterday) is 368 for Victoria only. 532 was the day before and guess what the figure went down.
    2
  536.  @andrewbutterworth4820  I had a section of the top of my ear removed because of skin cancer. There was significant bleeding until it was stitched but then the bandage was rather small and only covered the wound not half the ear like Mr Trump's is.

  538.  @nancyross5257  sensible comment

  539. I lived in China in the early 2000s and one of the delights was garlic. They probably don't export the best they produce but what they had in China was delightful. i laugh at peoples view of China

  542. gee that is a nice chassis on the young lady with the shorts and Aussie flag!
    2
  543.  @Skybar23  As an Australian and looking at it objectively, I doubt that he could be gaoled under Federal law but I see no reason why he couldn't be gaoled if he has broken individual State laws but realistically more likely fined if that option exists.
    2
  544.  @PatSaku  yes it is but only if you either see someone make the sound or you are told how to. I taught quite a few Chinese how to do it properly and none had a problem learning it.
    2
  545.  @PatSaku  I would have suggested pronouncing whirled as it is very close.
    2
  546. If this wasn't the end game all along then what was.
    2
  547.  @IWrocker  I agree a ute is sedan based. Toyota did make a Crown ute as far back in 1963 (called an RS46).

    2
  555. How can a Grand Jury decision be viewed as political.
    2
  556. Chinese don't use trailers or such. I never saw a single trailer in five years living there. I would expect that they have built strengthening in to the platform to allow for a tow bar because it not something they are at all familiar with
    2
  557. You can now buy Starbucks coffee in our Coles supermarket.
    2
  558. so now you have two.
    2
  559. I use Clive of India rather than Keens but I also use S&B for a Japanese curry. I sometimes add sultanas but that depends on the mood I am in.
    2
  560. for one cup I use the microwave.

  561.  @mikekolokowsky  and in Australia, where I am, we have an original copy of the Magna Carta.
    2
  562. is the Japanese maglev technology any different to the Chinese one? China's prototype has reached 600kph.

  563. good condition is relative - they are in good condition for cars that have been stored is what they mean.

  564. How many Fox journalists are in the 5 in 1000 that will be affected by this? i can only imagine they are being instructed to report this way.

  565. I like Fosters but find it hard to buy so I am drinking a 1996 Shiraz instead (well it is Australia Day)

  567. The first thing the USA should do is change how laws are brought in to being. The funding should only cover the issue and not include some bridge that senator needs so they can be re-elected.
    2
  568. When I worked in China I had to do some testing of a toaster that had provision for bagels. Well guess what is hard to find in Shenzhen - yes bagels. I eventually rang the Four seasons Hotel and spoke to the chef and he said he would make a batch for me. I got them (he didn't charge me either) and it worked pretty well. Subway are also in China and found them quite good but especially because they had wasabi mayonnaise which I now make myself back in Australia.
    2
  569. He got a better conversation than he would have got from Mr Trump.
    2
  570. In my experience the high cost wines are usually worth the extra expense for an occasion but not for general drinking. there are plenty of mid range wines that are superb but of course it depends on your taste. When i was working in China I was asked my opinion of a bottle from the vineyard of my host (without seeing the bottle). I tasted it and suggested it was a two year old Cabernet Sauvignon and was from Australian winemaker. It turns out I was 100% correct and it was a great mid range wine.

  571.  @heatherharvey3129  thanks -you saved me finding the actual years.

  573.  @kevinmcconnell3641 Some of us are not American so please make allowances for us.
    2
  574.  @kevinmcconnell3641 I am Australian and in the last census we had my community ,Dandenong (part of Melbourne) had people born in 152 different countries. Most seem pretty pleased to be here too. You do realise that a lot of people around the world are shaking their heads at how Mr Trump is using the excuse that the judicial system is getting in the way of the election when it is actually the opposite - the election is getting in the way of justice.
    2
  575. Your parrot is called a galah. the galah will likely outlive the dog.
    2
  576.  @benlee6500  Yeah sometimes it gets crazy. I have an Australian Ford falcon and had a collapsed cell in the battery and couldn't open the bonnet to get to the battery. We ended up hooking up a jump start cables to the starter motor and then the key fob worked.
    2
  577. wouldn't the explosion burst your eardrums?
    2
  578. and they have never been particularly aggressive either no matter who was in charge.

  586. The reason alcohol is expensive is that it is highly taxed - around $0.52 per litre for standard strength beer

  587. You can get leds that are red and yellow so why not use them with a clear lens? I am Australian and we use a system similar to the European system for lights. Our indicators are orange.

  593. I am questioning the competence of our voters rather than the PM. Now I expect the International Court will force us to have a treaty.
    2
  594.  @70snostalgia  yes we do. William Buckley was an escaped convict who lived around the Bellarine peninsula and they thought he had no hope of survival.
    2
  595. yeah the RAAF used CS-TQY for ferry flights to the Middle east. it was sent back in 2016. The RAAF also had A340 9H-FOX for a time during 2019.

  596. The thing that gets me, and its not only Americans, but people generally do not consider Russia to be part of Europe. Sure most of it isn't but the part West of the Urals is.. I am glad she included it.

  597. "lended to me" where is the English language going?

  602. you should never let a dog lick a face or head unless you have properly wormed them for tapeworms. There is a disease called hydatids that is a spread by a larvae.

  603.  @sandwormgod4771  Why the hell should we. Bairstow is a wicket keeper and should know better. If it had been a number 10 spinner i doubt Carey would have done it but to a fellow keeper it is as fair as it can be. The spirit of the game is to accept the umpires decision - not the Empries decision.

  604. and the chicken tax
    2
  605. Didn't the Car Wizard use a different brand of fuel pump as his replacement?

  617.  @johnburke6332 It is what I am expecting to happen. It can't be fake or true until the court cases or the election. I think you need to learn what fake means.
    2
  618. Why fingers crossed - are you happy to put the burden of road maintenance on to those of us who drive ICE cars alone? If it gets defeated then maybe the government will bring in a requirement for a yearly electrical safety test on EVs.

  637. Its bloody cold (13C at 17:40) in Melbourne today and intermittent rain. My worst experience of changing temps was leaving Baotou China at -8C and arriving at Shenzhen China a couple of hours later at 34C.

  640. I left foot brake especially in auto trans cars. I am often across an intersection before the car next to me has moved.
    2
  641. MG are selling a lot of cars in Australia now.
    2
  642. That Cybertruck must be on a special permit as they are illegal here as there is no physical connection between the wheels and the steering wheel.
    2
  643.  @zishuanhwang3767  I'll take your word for it. I never heard it when I lived in China but did a few years after I got back to Australia. Was it university students using it perhaps.
    2
  644. Mr Trump is becoming the biggest F-wit in US history.

    2
  651. its the eye colour.
    2
  652. the biggest problem with Mr Trump is that no one knows whether he has an end game. He keeps putting out thought bubbles which are designed to distract people from real issues.

  659. Ian - if you ever get the chance try pickled octopus - it is delightful. merry Christmas to you and your family.

  660. I like the air-conditioner control - handy for defogging windows.
    2
  661. I am Australian and our speed limits on non-trunk roads are 50kph which is roughly 30mph but in some restricted roads are 30kph which is just over 20mph. I don't think it is necessary to have a blanket 20mph in built up areas but around schools, hospitals and bus hubs etc it has a place. The thing I find amazing is that if you analysed the actual speed in a lot of your towns at the moment you would likely find that just over 20 is the average speed anyway. I did see an interesting youube on this subject by a car enthusiast in wales called Hubnut. I suggest people watch his presentation - it is unbiased.

  663. If it goes to a jury and they are convinced then fair enough - until then he has a presumption of innocence.
    2
  664. Its deliberate by the manufacturers - they want to be able to tell you when you need to replace your vehicle.
    2
  665. You were right - an Amorak is a pick up truck not a ute but the youngsters are steadily changing it.
    2
  666. its appropriate to use a fork when just sampling the pie or sausage roll but when eating a whole one then pick it up.

The CPC have done a good job of bringing people out of poverty in the last ten years but there is plenty of darkness in those 100 years. There is plenty to praise about China and like any country and regime stuff that can be criticised too but on a birthday you usually just be polite and highlight the good stuff.

The big problem with 3D printing is that people think that because you can 3D print it you can mass produce it but if it requires injection moulding to mass produce it then you really have to understand that process before you bother 3D printing the proposed part. That was great part they made though

  689. You do realise that during Henry Bolte's time as premier our debt was 80% our state earnings and it is nowhere near that at the moment. You have to borrow to fund progress. Henry did it and Dan has/is too and you can see with the infrastructure being built, the only major difference is that Dan had expenditure necessitated by a pandemic.

  690. A customer of ours has a diesel Touareg (not a V10) and had particulate problems and was quoted a horrendous price to fix it. We discussed it at work and thought the sensible thing was for him to take the car on a country drive over two hours and see what happened. He did and the problem was fixed. the real problem was that it is a city car and seldom gets up to operating temperature for more than ten minutes at a time.

I had this happen to me years ago and they told me to pick up my property a couple of days later. They said they had copied them and they could return them. I expect that similar happens in other countries.

It annoys me that people back in to 90 degree car parks (yes it is compulsory in some places) as I think it holds up traffic more than backing out does. The other thing I find interesting is that when i learned to drive (1972) the car I learned in didn't have any external mirrors which was not uncommon in those days. When I got my licence we had a drivers side one put on (for towing) but never bothered with a passenger side one.

We even brew our own coffee at work (we have an espresso and plungers available). things ahev changed over time here too. 20 years ago you couldn't get a good coffee at local sporting events. Now it is common to get espresso coffee at sporting events- my local Aussie rules football club sells it at its canteen.

I do think that picture ones are the best. Ian - does the US have "no parking" as well as "no standing" signs? They are confusing to visitors to Australia as they you can stop at a no parking sign to pick up or drop off a passenger but you can't do that at a no standing sign.

Some years later back in Australia I went to order some food in a food court and all the Chinese girls were chatting in Mandarin and not paying attention, When one of them turned around i asked her for curry chicken in Mandarin. She just served me and as i went to pay for it she suddenly looked shocked and asked me whether i had really ordered it in mandarin. I said to her that I had as it seemed that she was in "Chinese mode" and it made sense to me to not have her change back to English. She thanked me and we had a chat for about five minutes about food.

Her family were farmers and were able to live Ok but not afford to pay for extra education. They invited us out to the farm for Christmas dinner and we had various pig products including pigs tripe done in a hot pot. I had never even heard of pigs tripe but i tried it and enjoyed it.

It turned out the one that was going to do the operation had done surgery on me in a public hospital. I showed her the healed wound and she was delighted at how good it looked. It is often that the surgeons you get in the public hospital is the same one you would get if you used a private hospital and health insurance. I have had at least 9 full theatre skin cancer operations and five "see and treat" operations ate Petermac cancer hospital and those have not cost me anything other than my annual medicare contribution at tax time.

His daughter refused to talk in English when she was in China (she was five years old) and it was always fun hearing them have an argument/discussion where he spoke English and she spoke Mandarin. the people we had as translators were the most amused.

It is a great old vehicle. If you search Bonhams : 1919 Garford Model 25 Open Back Lorry Chassis no. 25770 you will get a photo of it.

  896. I have always had this problem with Private health insurance giving you a choice of doctors in Australia. You have a choice of bulk billing doctors just not quite as big a filed to choose from and how o you select one anyway? Word of mouth is the best way i guess. When it comes to specialists your doctor refers you to her/his mates anyway (they often have shareholdings in private hospitals where the specialist they refer you to are. I have been having skin cancer treatment since 2002 and it has been done at a specialist Cancer hospital in Melbourne at no cost to me other than the 2% of my taxable income levy that I pay when I do my taxes. i will concede that it is more difficult for those outside of metropolitan areas though,

Part of the problem in this case is the way different societies work. Asians like China and Japan are family and community focussed more than western cultrues are so they will accept restrictions for the common good. From Australia it doesn't appear that the USA works like that in a lot of areas. I have been there so i can't be sure but it is my perception from what I see on news and Youtube and various forums and the replies I see on them.

If they strip then you are using either the wrong screwdriver, the wrong dort or you have an incorrect torque setting on your power or hand torque driver. Its no different than using a metric spanner on imperial nuts and expecting to get good results. Cheapskate is relative. We use them all the time and when you are using thousands of them the price does make a difference. We do use Torx but only in very small sizes (T3)

The rare earth deposits are mainly in the Donetsk region - ring any bells?

This was done last week. I will get the results of the biopsy next week. Cost to me - nothing other than my annual 2% contribution. Sure the government contributes by us contributing to it through our taxation levy. If you wish you can take out private insurance.

  979.  paul katter  the ABC is far more than political comment shows. Children's shows, sport, arts all get covered within the ABC umbrella. I have never heard of the ABC being a government propaganda machine before. ABC radio makes damn sure they give equal time to major parties and have input from minor parties during elections. The one problem they have is when pollies decide they don't want to go on the ABC (so they can accuse it of bias when the other side does go on).

  980.  paul katter  Your level of comprehension astounds me. I did not have any leftist agenda (or rightist for that matter).

  989. When I was young we had a couple of cocker spaniel and neither of them liked the sound of clippers or vacuum cleaners. I used hand sheep shears and nail scissors when I clipped them and had no problems. Remember their hearing is very different to ours. I think that Max does not like the sound of the blower at all. They all loved water tough except for the first time I treated Cindy with Gammawash - she more fleas than i imagined and they did not like the treatment. I also found it was important to cut down the hair rather than across it as it stopped it from curling. Max being a Poodle cross then it wouldn't matter as it will curl anyway. I never completely cut the feathering on their off either.

  1004. Years ago my sister-in-laws mother was moving farms. She was a breeder of Cocker Spaniels. her stud male was called Copper as his coat was copper coloured when the light shone on him. I got to look after him while the new kennels were built and it was intended for him to be retired from breeding. He was overweight when he arrived by about 15Kg. He could walk about 100metres but i had to carry him back (just as well i was fit). I decided he needed to get fit so i started taking him for increased length walks and eventually runs. After three months he could go on a 5kilometre run with me and he could do it without too much stress. he got back to his proper weight and when he was picked up Phylis took one look at him and decided that if he wanted he could resume stud duties (which he did). He loved running and i made sure my brother-in-law took over the running duties with him. I hadn't realised until them how much dogs enjoy running and some seem to prefer it to walks. kai is an inspiration and a good jolt to my memories of Copper.

One of th guys we know got us to look at his nieces VW Polo and when we connected up the scan tool it would not work. We check the fuse for continuity and that was ok. After some umming and ahing we did a voltage check across the fuse. It had 12v going in but only 9V coming out. We replaced the fuse and the scanner worked and we could then find out what exactly was wrong with the car. We now do voltage checks across fuses instead of a plain continuity check.

  1048.  @That1Carson  The simple answer is that if your fuel delivery system isn't designed for ethanol then don't use it. I use 91RON lead free non ethanol in my lawn mower for this reason but in my dual fuel car (an Australian Ford Fairmont wagon), which is E10 compatible, I run either LPG, E10 or 91 depending on price. I get 17litres/100kilometres from LPG 14.5L/100 on E10 (94RON) and 12.9l/100 on 91RON. This is in city driving which included roads with 60 and 80kph speed limits. I will only run three tanks of LPG before running a tank of either E10 or 91 Ron to provide upper cylinder lubrication. I have had no issues with injectors or fouling plugs and my engine is an inline 4.0 six which has done 370,000 kilometres. In short I don't see it as better or worse- just different and you have to judge the cost of the fuel against the consumption. If I am going on a highway/freeway trip I will run my Ford on petrol to start up but when it gets to operating temp i will switch to LPG until it runs out and then back to petrol. This gives me a range of just under 1000K. Typical prices in Dandenong Australia at the moment are LPG AUD $0.90/litre, E10 is 1.65/litre and 91 is $1.70/litre.

Sometimes this changes because of pricing - it LPG is over half the cost of E10 then i will use E10. Current prices around Dandenong (part of Melbourne) are E10 AUD1.85 and LPG is 0.80 although my last tank was 0.717.

  1135. Interesting thing is that you don't need to boil water for tea. I lived in China for over four years and the only time I saw boiling water used was at a tea ceremony. because the water they used comes from bottles there is no health reason to boil it and tea certainly doesn't need it to be boiling to infuse. Most Chinese have machines that take a 19litre water bottles and provides hot or cold water from the same unit. Since I have been back in Australia I never boil water for tea or coffee as our tap water is OK (potable) straight from the tap. At work we have an 25 litre urn that we use for tea and coffee ant is set for 96 deg C. If I am cooking pasta at home I use an induction cooker to heat the water and cook the pasta.

  1146. Americans have some strange ideas. Even the question "If everybody has something for free, who’s gonna pay for it?" means they don't understand that there is no free healthcare but their is different ways of paying for it. In Australia you can choose to have private health insurance or you can just have medicare which if funded by you contributing 2% of you taxable income each year. It is free but it is much cheaper. The Government subsidises medicines. With our Ambulance service isn't free either but you can become a subscriber to them. I do this and it costs me $145 for 3 years membership (as a single double that for a family). I can use any sort of ambulance (helicopter, stroke, intensive care etc) and not pay a single cent extra for it. It is State run but they reciprocate so it is effective anywhere in Australia for me.

  1179. and so they should charge them a tax. I pay a tax to use my petrol/gas powered on the road through the cost of my fuel so why shouldn't electric cars. I don't really care how it is done but it seems fairer to bases it on kilometres traveled rather than just imposing a set rate on top of registration. Truck drivers have to keep a log book so that's not new. I will contribute to whoever takes it back to court if the electric car people win. Eventually countries will have to tax electric vehicles both for roads and the cost of disposing of the batteries.

I have (or perhaps had as I only have half of what i once had!) blonde hair and blue eyes and I went with Mei my secretary in China to get a hair cut the guy looked at my hair and did nothing. I asked Mei what was wrong and he told her he had never cut any hair that wasn't black or that reddish tint they use. I got Mei to tell him it was no problem if it wasn't perfect as it will soon grow back and he can fix it. We all had a good laugh.

Strange you should say that. before we started building the Collins i was in a meeting with union members from Kochums (the builders of them originally who were German i think but could have been Sweedish) and they said that Australia bought them so that the propeller technology could be given to the USA and sure enough when there was a propeller problem one was sent to the USA.

Fortunately for me I am importing for busines so I have the ABN recorded and they get cleared prior to receipt as they know I will pay the GST on the sale and have nothing to offset against it. They end up with the same amount of GST in the end.

  1219. I am not 100% sure but i think this Commodore was near me on Sunday. I assume it had been raced at the historic meeting at Philip island and a near neighbour of mine has a few racing cars and room to store a couple for other people. They took the Commodore off a trailer and drove it in to his place - it sounded glorious. This is a VL Commodore and my nephew owns the VP Commodore that Brock raced.

She got it for me and then did a double take and she asked me whether i really did order in mandarin or was she dreaming. I had a good laugh with her as I don't speak much mandarin but I do know how to order some of my favourite dishes. I wish i had taken the time to learn mandarin when i lived in China but people were too eager to learn English from me.

  1238. When you have health insurance and you claim against it aren't the other contributers paying it - that is the same as socialism . The only difference is that the government does not make money out of health insurance unlike the system you have. You should look at the Australian system which is socialism for people earning less than 90K per year and once you w=earn that you have to have private health insurance.

A lot of Australians probably don't realise that out States have their own constitutions and that the federal one was about how to refer powers to the federation and didn't address individuals at all like the US one does. Our local government is covered by the State constitutions rather than the Federal one.

  1254. the police should wake up that the way people react to them is determined by how they have previously been treated by police. A traffic stop may affect whether you bother to report other incidents to them. Australian laws around number plates are detailed but it can basically be summed up by "everything on the plate must be able to be picked up by photographic or electronic scanning from 20 metres".

Who knows how many mis-translations have been made over the years too. My English teacher at high school had previously been a Roman catholic priest and he spent some time in the Vatican and he could read and speak Aramaic which was the language that Christ would have spoken. He completely lost his faith because of what he read there. I wish he had have told us what in particular did it.

  1325. When I lived in China my boss was an American who spoke four Chinese languages. It used to be fun to watch him argue with his daughter who refused to speak English to him. She alternated between GuangdongHua and Putonghua but he stuck to Engish. Our Chinese staff (especially my scretary who spoke the three languages) used to chuckle while listening to them

  1327.  @genebaughbba  Mr trump is only interested in himself and if stopping a war helps him then he will try. I expect others are no different. The nuclear deterrent is that whoever fires the first shot will themselves be vapourised soon after is deterrent enough.

  1329.  @colinwoods5663  yes you are right but the figure of 532 was announced on the 27th and the figure applies to the 26th. the 368 which was announced today (the 28th) refers to the 27th. One of reads it and understands what he is reading as well.

  1357.  Anita Mullaly  yeah if anyone has made false voting papers then they will be able to verify which photocopier or printer produced them. I also think that Mr Trump is smart enough to pay someone to send in some false votes. (I haven't been able to watch the video as Youtube seems down in my area of Australia but I can still see replies and comments).
    1
  1358.  @rswanbury8241  easy. Because State laws and Federal laws are different and a President can't give immunity to a State law.
    1
  1359.  @rswanbury8241  Whilst I do agree with you it shouldn't be that way. If you have done something wrong and are caught you you should be prosecuted and the judges can decide based on evidence.

  1360.  Anita Mullaly  yes I am back and able to watch which i will do when i get home from work.
    1
  1361.  Anita Mullaly  The opposite view is Mr Sanders told us what to expect from Mr Trump so both appear to be as thick as thieves.
    1
  1362.  Anita Mullaly  I am wondering how Mr trump would have had access to the ballot papers to allow watermarks. the fact that each State produces its own ballot paper makes this a very difficult process to complete, especially in secret. I need someone to explain this to me as the time they are placed is important - if it is before people vote then it is different than if it is as they are counted for instance.
    1
  1363.  @rswanbury8241  yes on Federal laws but I see no reason why they couldn't be prosecuted on State laws.

  1364. the guy who collects our waste has a blue healer called Sootie. Every Tuesday she gets excited when he goes through the traffic lights near us. he goes through these lights most days but Sootie knows Tuesday is when they come to us and she can look forward to getting a fresh bone.

  1371.  @PatSaku  When I lived in China Anna my girlfriend had no problem with them after she had been living with me for a while. We had a humourous situation in Shenzhen when she gave a Canadian friend of mine a hard time. he said "only here would you get a diminutive Chinese woman give you a hard time in perfect Australian with a slight American accent" We had a good laugh at that.
    1
  1372.  @PatSaku  yes in the early 2000s when I was in China the Chinese people I knew who spoke the best English had taken the time to go to the docks and talk with sailors (and act as interpreters for them). they wouldn't have to do that now.

  1373. Fraud is not wrong - what planet is she on.

  1374. How is complying with the laws of the game unethical? Especially when it involved two wicket keepers. If it had been a number 10 spin bowler then I may have some sympathy but Bairstow tried to do the same to Laburschagne and may even have given Carey the idea. As others have said the spirit of the game involves accepting the umpires decision. I didn't like the decision regarding Starc's catch but accepted that we have to change our views on what constitutes a catch. Slips shouldn't throw the ball skywards anymore without making damned sure they catch it again.

  1377. Winter is not far away. We have cool to cold nights but delightful days in Melbourne this week but a cold front is coming temp toady went from 8 to 18C with no clouds so it was a nice day to take a stroll. I think I did about 3 kilometres today.

  1390.  @timw8649  Strange thing is when you are on a jury you know stuff all about the person and if you do they exclude you. Of course I don't know much about him but do you really know much about your politicians. they are all hiding something or angling towards a career after politics.
    1
  1391.  @trmlesq1321  what he has done otherwise is not relevant. Do you ask at a murder trial whether the accused has been guilty of tax fraud. Some issues have to be looked at in isolation and i think standing up for your constitution is one a politician has to do unless they are trying to change the constitution

  1392.  @Ryooken  yes I am happy that some (but not enough) Republicans pout their partisanship aside and actually voted on the issue.

  1405. I like the latching system but we don't have it here in Australia. A guy I knew lost his two year old daughter who managed to stick a metal comb handle in to a socket that had been left switched on. Fortunately with RCDs now fitted that is less likely to happen as they are almost instantaneous in cutting the power. our live and neutral are insulated and the earth is longer too.

  1410. How does that work with vehicles owned by a company or rental company. In Australia they have to nominate the driver of the vehicle at the time ot they pay a $3,000 fine in my State (Victoria). Companies keep logs of who is driving the various vehicles on the day.

  1419. The fixation is not on war - the fixation is making money from supplying the Pentagon at prices you can't charge anyone else. the 'war' is just the excuse for a lot of it. Think of how many aircraft are in the desert that were never flown in anger and think of the cost of them.

  1421. Australia should make it a compulsory part of the acquisition of any rifle that it be produced here - if you are not willing to have that then don't be a part of the selection process. America does it with ships so we should have no problem doing it with rifles.
    1
  1422. as mandatory as possible just means in accordance with the laws and currently they cannot make it compulsory which in my mind is unfortunate. I don't have a problem with people being scared of vaccines being produced overseas but we should be able to trust locally produced ones.

  1423. Glad to see that Bronny still has no idea. its no different to the GST that we were never going to have. It was put to an election before it comes in to affect. Whichever party is government still gets it's hands on 15% anyway.

  1460. I think you hold the clutch pedal down too long but that is probably just due to you explaining things. In an emergency you can ignore the clutch and just pull the gear lever in to neutral and brake at the same time. This is not to be done in normal driving but it is useful to know that you can. If I am just braking to slow down a little -like when you get to road works then I just left foot brake. I know some people can't cope with left foot braking but I usually drive an auto and do it all the time. If more people did this then there would be less accidents from people pressing the wrong pedal with their right foot and ending up on the footpath.

  1461.  @LaughLounge11  That surprises me. Do they wear headphones at all in these vehicles for comms purposes. maybe that would stop the pressure.
    1
  1462.  @LaughLounge11  When you see rally cars they have to have headsets to talk between the team and the driver and navigator - I imagined this would be similar so maybe only a couple of them would have head sets. Do they still use walkie-talkies or are you just using that as a generic term?

Of course they don't tell you the reason for their decisions.

  1499. As an Australian I am covered by our Medicare system and don't have private health insurance. I pay 2% of my taxable income as my Medicare contribution. I suffer from skin cancers and get them treated in a public hospital. So far since 2002 I have at least 9 full operating theatre operations, I have had four outpatient operations (which included getting one removed from the end of my nose, about 2cm round and a skin graft to cover it - which turned out brilliantly). Fortunately I have not required medicines/drugs which are not covered by Medicare. So far far I have paid no extra money for these services. I do subscribe to our Ambulance service it costs AUD145 for 3 years. When I see my local doctor he charges me AUD60 and I get back AUD38 from Medicare. If the doctor 'bulk bills' then you pay nothing. He will do this for me soon as i turn 65. I really am amazed at American attitudes to healthcare.

  1660. years ago I worked at GAF which assembled the RAAF F/A18A and B aircraft. As a special treat for our staff and our next door neighbour Hawker de Haviland we got the test pilot to fly an F/A18A up to where our factory was in Melbourne and do very tight turns at a low level - just above the level of the west gate bridge which was nearby. Evidently Melbourne Air Traffic Control were not impressed but were told here to go. It was truly remarkable how tight a turn that aircraft could achieve. the staff really appreciated it as they seldom saw the final assembled aircraft flying as final assembly was done at Avalon Airport (which we owned at that time). i was fortunate that my job allowed me to visit avalon reasonably often so i saw them a lot. Avalon host our biggest airshow every second year.

The fuel system was made to cope with all three types of fuel. You don't want to leave E10 sitting in your tank though as you can get sludge forming (not sure why it does it but it has hapnened to two friends who had the sedan version of my car and left them for 12 months.

  1694. Does the no fault insurance apply hen it is one private property or a commercial premises. This will be an interesting court case. In Australia the dealership would be negligent under health and safety/workcover law. It is hard to imagine why a person who is not licenced would move a vehcile. We had an intriguing case in Western Australia where a Lamborghini got impounded for 30 days because of excessive speed. The vehicle was being driven by a mechanic and not the owner. The Police had no power to release the car from impound. I haven't heard the eventual outcome of this but I expect the 30 days expired before a resolution would have been made.

  1699.  @StopLEFTISTSnow  yes -the early ones were an amalgam of two Opel models (front from a Senator (to fix a Holden 6) and the rest from Rekord) and changed because the front fell off an Opel test mule. the Australian engineers were the reason that Opel used rack and pinion in the Senator. The VE and VF were Australian designs using the Zeta platform which they also used when Holden did the design work on Camaro. They were specifically designed to be either RHD or LHD.

  1700. I wonder what their legal department or more importantly their marketing department think of all these Youtube presentations regarding their 'protection of the brand' If you have no wish to buy another Ferrari new in the future I doubt whether their threats would hold up in a court of law. The shoe one might because they do have a deal with a shoe manufacturer but surely you can change a vehicle in any way you want provided it meets roadworthy requirements. I used to work with a guy who changed a damaged 275 Ferrari in to a replica of an original 250TR.

  1712. Must make an appointment with my doctor! Thanks for reminding me. I think Australia's system is a good compromise from a totally free for everyone to having those who can afford it take out health insurance (after you earn 90K per year). I had a cataract operation that was done in a private hospital but under the auspices of a public hospital so it cost me nothing extra to my annual medicare contribution through tax. i do pay for tablets though they are not horrendously priced. The reason for the strange figures which have both dollars and cents is that they are indexed by CPI so they go up by a percentage that isn't rounded up or down. I wish our system got extended to cover dental.

  1724.  @mpol701  You have a strange definition of live then. In Australia live means it is being broad cast as it happens (or with a very slight delay) like cricket broadcasts. Neighbours is seen as a pre-recorded show in our books.

  1756. I lived in China (Zhuhai and Shenzhen) between 2004 and 2009 and I don't remember experience any avoidance. I was 50 at the time and I had no problems with standing on bus trips but nearly always I was offered a seat by a young Chinese person and on the odd occasion i accepted no one moved or looked put off by it. Even when i traveled on business either by bus or plane people seemed very friendly and some were very happy to practice their English (one of the reason i never learned much putonghua.)

  1765. In Australia we call the foam 'the head'. I prefer a beer to have a head on it when poured but if it disappears then I don't worry as it often just that the glass wasn't rinsed properly. We even have a brand of beer glass called a Headmaster that has etchings in the bottom of the glass that gives a consistent head. When I lived in China I got used to beer that does not have a large head as most of the beer in China does not form large head , if any head at all! It gets interesting when you are taking beer from a barrel as the dispensing gun and the gas pressure can make a significant difference.

  1774. Like what happened in England the sitting USA party got voted out rather than the opposition being voted in -and that is the problem of political systems with only two viable options.

  1819. @midnitesquirldog1 Yes your advice re carburetored vehicles is sound. It depends on what market your car was built for as well but the owners manual may tell you if you can run E10. The manufacturers websites are also good for info.
    1
  1820. @midnitesquirldog1 my 1999 car is compatible but it was Australian produced.
    1
  1821. @midnitesquirldog1 power is a different thing. E10 in Australia is 94 RON where normal unleaded is 91RON so E10 is actually more powerful but gives more l/100k.
    1
  1822.  @jasonmefford4312  his advice re lawn mowers is consistent with what we are told here in Australia where we have had E10 for 20 years.
    1
  1823. @midnitesquirldog1 my 360,000k Falcon might argue with you on that.

  1825. I just can't understand why Americans put up with their system.

  1826. China says it was once part of China (Haishenwai) and you twist that to be claiming current ownership? Get real.
    1
  1827. There are a lot of countries that have freedom not just the USA. I do agree with her views on the election and the FBI.
    1
  1828. mainly because of F-wits taking no notice of the directions given I am afraid.
    1
  1829. @Joe Shabidu Well he does hire some private enterprise firms that are totally money-centric and couldn't give a rats arse about people. The trouble is you find out after you have hired them.
    1
  1830.  @scarseven7855  You are probably right but you still should be able to trust security firms and perhaps this will be an impetus for a shake up of that industry.
    1
  1831. I seem to remember seeing that the LandCruiser will have optional fronts in Australia. I think it will be more like the USA version.
    1
  1832.  @liam3284  Yep - look who gets the money - the Government does
    1
  1833. the screwdriver in the turbo is more likely to unbalance the turbo than do any good.

  1834. perhaps they were following the laws.

  1836. i am Australian. Can you explain why American become registered to a party? It is not something we have.
    1
  1837. whats the difference from times not long ago when religion censored what we were allowed to say.
    1
  1838.  TruthTravelsOnLight!  what Websters say is irrelevant - it is what is says in the law definitions that matter. Most people are really thinking sedition rather than treason.

  1839. Interesting that the macbbok didn't need any parts -genuine or not.
    1
  1840. My brother has five of them. They are great guard dogs - placid and sleeping during the day but alert during the night.
    1
  1841. I am Australian but I have no problem with people who say they are not seeing prices go down. They are in one location and they are probably correct for their location but not for the country. I saw a report that people here in melbourne are being charged a lot for watermelon because we had floods that stopped them growing and harvesting during their most active season. These people obviously didn't shop around as i was paying 1/10th of what they said the price was and i was getting top quality. You are right David, they are either delusional or unable to think clearly and some people here in Australia are the same I am afraid.
    1
  1842. In Australia we just call it the accelerator.
    1
  1843. Well I suppose as Mr Trump is a mental catastrophe then he can talk from experience.
    1
  1844.  @lancewood1410  yeah but they use multiple tons every day. if they have a finite amount then they will have to decide where best to use it. 50% of houses in the US have LED downlights which also use gallium. Sure they use only a little each but millions of little make a lot.
    1
  1845. the only thing i don't like about roundabouts is that in my State- Victoria pedestrians do not have right of way to cross at them. (not sure if this is an Australia wide rule)
    1
  1846. watching bicycles in China is an experience too. After six months of living there I found it very easy to navigate being a pedestrian.
    1
  1847. Those big trucks have a place but supermarket car parks is not one of them. The one in the video has at least 100kg too much metal.
    1
  1848. I am Australian and I remember years ago being asked why dope was sold by the gram and cost $20. I said it is no accident as an Australian $20 note at the time weighed a fraction over 1 gram so if you had balance scale you would put your purchase on one end and your payment on the other.
    1
  1849. i don't think hailing a bus is common. I have never seen it in Victoria except where the stop covers multiple bus routes and you hail the one you particularly want.

  1852. not sure if these are exactly the same as no one seems to put the extensions to the part numbers on them. ICpart is a Korean site. You should be able to use a translate on Google Chrome.

    1
  1864. I am surprised that Mongolian ancestry doesn't get identified as much as I expected.
    1
  1865.  @przemo5711  The biggest problem in China is the creaping in of capitalism making some people greedy (as you suggest). they have brought hundreds of millions out of abject poverty. How is free healthcare a proble? Talk to an American about it. Even in Australia where I live it isn;t free but covered by a small contribution of 2% on top of your income tax.
    1
  1866.  @przemo5711  No. No irony just what I saw. I lived there and you could see capitalism creeping in. Jack Ma is the perfect example of a capitalist in a socialist/capitalist country.

  1870. I wonder what show about the Nun's point of view of their students,, and where they have ended up, would be like.
    1
  1871.  eljay5009  In Australia we have electronic signs around a lot of schools that reduce the speed limit for the times children go and leave schools. This changes it from 50kph down to 40kph. On some major roads with secondary schools it goes from 80kph down to 60kph. This sounds more reasonable to me but I would not be surprised to fin that your average speed in towns is closer to 20mph than 30mph.

  1872.  @mini-z_me  It could do slight adjustments but I think the wind would be too strong to be completely overcome.

  1874. The FElon has his own oligarch - Elon Muscovite.
    1
  1875.  @RoryNettleton  Well I am just shy of 70 and a ute is made from a sedan and the tray area is not separate from the cab (ute is just short for coupe utility) - if it is separate then it is a pick up truck = BA falcons are technically not a ute but as I suggested the young people don't know.
    1
  1876.  @Guvament_bs  Those terms are both American terms for their pick up trucks you can add step side to it too,
    1
  1877. @ yep plenty of people get it wrong but I suppose now that no one actually makes a ute it is less of an issue.
    1
  1878.  @Guvament_bs  None but the Americans had them in Ford F150 and Chev C10 and I have seen a few of them around .
    1
  1879.  @RoryNettleton  which is still wrong - that is my point, but as we don't make utes anymore I guess it matters less.
    1
  1880. If you are in a car like his that two external rear view mirrors then use them to judge where you are sitting on the road.
    1
  1881. Australia has a store called Boating,Camping Fishing or BCF and their ad revolve around having BCF'n fun. A friend from England laughed when he saw the first one and said you would never get that on UK TV which surprised me considering the swearing we see on UK sourced TV programmes.

  1882.  @bestof8099  "Thanks China" They have done nothing other than react to the threats the USA offers to them.

  1889. The whole world is wondering why they are letting an election getting in the way of justice (not the other way around)

  1890. It appears there was a cock up in an upgrade at a third party company,

  1898. i can remember when the BA Falcon was being introduced. I was working on buying the parts for the pcb in the instrument cluster. Our engineer went to Ford at the Youyangs to do some tweaking to the software and got to both drive a barra turbo and be a passenger. His normal ride was a BMW1200 bike. He came back and said it was the first time he had been shocked at the speed of a vehicle. Ford realised they had to 'wind back' the turbo Barra as it was both faster and quicker than the V8 version (non turbo). and ford being ford couldn't have an i6 being faster than their V8.

  1904. Even some cities in China have lots of open spaces. Where I lived in Zhuhai it was policy to have 28.8 sq metres per person. Doesn't sound much until you multiply it by 2million people then it adds up.

  1905. Even after 50 years some clothing is still sized in imperial. I went to buy a pair of jeans the other day and I had to work out what my size might be in inches before I picked one to try on.

  1909.  @undergroundeconomist7584  the only rights you ever have are those agreed by your fellow countrymen and woman and enshrined in your laws. If the law says I can put them in what you call concentration camps then I can but if you impinge on my safety then wear the consequences.

  1918. In Australia the drinking age is 18 years old but you have to buy it from a licenced premises which can be a venue or a store that just sells liquor. We can't drink on the street but outside events can get licences to allow it. We call a walking beer a "traveler" I liked the laws in China where it is 18 years old but you can buy alcohol everywhere, even fruit shops!.

  1966.  @purplerabbit7190  I have no idea how you think not letting use Hydroxychloroquine has anything to do with communism but even so you would have to get a doctor to prescribe it and any who did would be risking court action for the result.

One time I wanted to know who I could get my staff to ring to sort out a noise problem so I rang the police number. they sent a policeman who didn't speak English very well but he could see my problem so he got another Policeman to come. This guy spoke perfect English and was obviously high up due to his uniform and decorations. He took me down from the hotel to the work site (they were excavating and building a Metro station) and he got them to change their work so that the noisy stuff was done during the day wherever possible and the situation was solved. I may have been terribly lucky but I was very happy with the result.

  1996.  @jimholmes964  the same argument could be put for the majority of Australian voters. They voted Labor and can't 'turn off' the LNP governement. You aren't forced to watch or listen to the ABC but you are forced to have a Government. I think that the problem a lot of people have with the ABC is that the first time they disagree with something that is on the ABC they brand it as totally against their way of thinking. There are shows that certainly aren't labor/green on the ABC but like most organisations they tend to report what is wrong with whoever is the current government rather than what is right about it and whatever the case you will always have satire like Micaleffs program

  1998. They will have either converted it using a G8 or an SS. They didn't build utes in LHD tp my knowledge. We certainly didn't allow for any when the clusters were produced.

  2001. Any classified material that has been downgraded should have the classification crossed out on them. Of course that can be faked but any document that shows a security classification should be treated as having that classification.

  2002. Similar techniques are going in to cars now. The system checks the serial number of even the instrument cluster on start up and if they don't match then the car won't start.

  2009.  @michaelblair5566  more likely it is to take off the date code which would show whether they are recycled or not.

  2010.  @viperwizard491  yeah but how much development went in to it if the circuits came from data sheets from the chip manufacturer. the cost of parts on that would not be USD100 (except for the box) I expect from what i could see and the actual labour involved in building it would not be huge either. I have no problem with people recouping R&D if they don't get grants or tax incentives but this is a bit strong. To me it looks like about a USD2,000 product.

  2014.  @bruggeman672 that doesn't mean they are not happy for you to have a faith - just not a religion. I am one of those as i see religions as vehicles for control but faith is what you believe for yourself.
    1
  2015.  @bruggeman672 I am biased against religion (which is when people with a like faith organise in to body). I don't mind anyone having a belief in a God or more than one god as long as they don;t try and convert others.
    1
  2016.  @bruggeman672 Religion is when people who share a faith get together and then it becomes a vehicle for control. I am happy for them to have their faith as long as they keep it themselves. By the way you don't need to insult people when replying.
    1
  2017.  @bruggeman672 How so. I don't have a problem with people having a belief in a God but I don't like them banding together as a group and calling it a religion. As an atheist I don't try and get fellow atheists to join me.
    1
  2018.  @bruggeman672 yes that is the way it works but in the future current Christian countries will become more Muslim and then we will see a change in attitude when they make the rules.

  2019. its not just Queensland. The North of new South Wales has also copped it badly. It has also affected wildlife a lot - I have even seen a photo of a platypus that was struggling. We have a guy who does some design work for us and he lives in Queensland. He got 1000mm of rain in 4-1/2 days. that is a metre! Still if you gave me a choice between this and the events in the Ukraine I would take this!

  2026. I find it amazing that a news broadcaster can totally dismiss the charges laid as the result of a Grand Jury. They still have to be proven in a court but the Grand Jury believes that Mr Trump broke the law and incited others to so what did he expect to happen - you can't bludgeon your way all the time. I am Australian and at times I shake my head in disbelief at what goes on in Washington - Canberra is bad enough!

  2027. I love lamb but i think that the taste of cold lamb fat might put some people off. the best friends of lamb are rosemary and garlic during cooking and mint sauce after cooking. I actually prefer older sheep - two tooth is the best but even slow cooked mutton is delicious.

  2035.  @fourdoorsmorehoes  Like fix the problem? I am not a chiro but I was looking after three cats for a friend who was on holidays. One of them didn't look happy and was nervous when I patted her. I felt along her spine and found she was not right. I gave her a small massage around that point and fortunately it went back in to place. She is a good friend after that.

  2050. the only reason China is an enemy of the USA is so that the USA Government can justify its huge expenditure on defence. If you have no enemies who do you need a large defence force - if you don't have an enemy then create one.

  2063. I have an Australian Ford Fairmont Wagon (Falcon) with the i6 that preceded the Barra. I was working on it yesterday and after 380,000k you can still balance a 50 cent piece on the rocker cover (our 50cent has a flat side.) It is a great engine. My housemate has a Territory with an early Barra in it and it is a fine engine too.

  2072. I haven't had much to do with great danes but the two I knew the best were fantastic dogs. One was called Conan and he looked very imposing but was the sweetest dog you could come across except if you went near his two year old mistress and then he went in to guard dog mode. the other was a neighbours dog and I went to a motor race 1000k away from home and when I came out of the toilets and had gone about 20metres I saw this huge dog running towards me. It then jumped up on me and realised that it was my neighbours dog. How he identified me from 20 metres I will never know. he really loved his pats and cuddles. His exhausted owner finally caught up and started laughing at what had happened.
