Would an EV pull a heavy laden box trailer up hill do you think? Would there be enough torque from the electric motor?

I'm not very Proud about some if the things Britain did earlier on The Early Navy was a Bunch of Pirates that Gave a lot of their Spoils to the Crown and later broke a lot of Promises in the ME and drew arbitrary Boundaries that Caused endless strife later But they did a heroic job of resisting Hitler in a situation which looked Hopeless to many with the Meagre resources they had at the time. Churchill described it as "Never before Has so much Been owed to so few" , Hear Hear!!. Nev

Correct.

Become an *Islamic* republic perhaps? Gotta watch these muslims, they'll do anything to further their cause for Allah. Mehreen Faruqi didn't think things through before she opened her gob. If she got all the things she wanted, expressed in her "school kid" statement, she'd still be living on "stolen" land ... so, would she go live somewhere else and leave the Aboriginals in peace? ... not likely, she'd probably pretend to be their saviour and advise them of the virtues of Islam. God willing.

Can't see why.

Country roads take me home

Yes, he did. The difference is he took it to an election when he changed his mind. Huge difference! Maybe we could mention "there won't be a carbon tax in a government I lead."

Possibly. It would depend on your intent and in what context you wish your statement to Apply. 4th Aug is designed to apply to a specific group of Individuals." Everybody Other than" is terribly Non specific and Philosophically one could ask what is the particular obvious Need? I imagine it would be a question PHON would raise, or maybe already HAS. The Purpose there would be that of a Stirrer. Nev

That's when they were Over Paid, OVER sexed and Over Here. The Iranians might be able to use it but I guess the Great SATAN covers it for them.Nev

The already rich and wanting to be much richer would wish to increase GST which hurts the POOR the Most and creates Heaps of Paperwork. Conservatives wish to increase it. Maybe we end up like the UK, A dead hand on everything at the rate they have. IF I was da King I would abolish it. Tax should be imposed on those who can afford to Pay it, Firstly. Nev

Correct.

Bugger! Now "Yankee Go Home" is not PC.

Didn't someone once promise that Australia would not have a Goods and Servies Tax?

By the way, tomorrow, 4th of August is National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children's Day. Anyone know the date of Non-National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children's Day? Have I jst posted something racist?

"Go back to where you came from?" Yeah, very much racism

Still a broken promise though. Albo probably had more plans on doing it then Trump did.

is it racism?

You're missing the point. If Hanson was offended by those comments, she could have responded strongly in many ways without the racism. That she chose tell another Australian to "piss off back to Pakistan" just shows (if anyone needed more proof) that she's just a dog-whistling racist.

And no other indigenous population wherever on the planet has no cultural reference to the Moon? Australia is creating a culture of lunar tics.

Changing the conditions for negative gearing in a small economy like Australia's would not endanger the global economic system in the way unprovoked attacks on the economy of another country have done.

Memes like that one make one realise that one is getting old.

If anyone thinks it is OK for Senator Mehreen Faruqi to say that about the death of our Queen, then they don't believe in the Australia that I do. But it isn't just Australia. Most nations have expectations about loyalty to the flag, respect for what our forebears fought for, and so on. I can respect the Turks, for example, as equals to the Australians in WW1 because they believed just as strongly in their own country. I have no right to go over there and tell them they are racists built on stolen lives etc etc. Which argument could be equally made about Pakistan times one hundred, given their support for terrorists in recent decades. We have enough enemies trying to subvert our society without members of parliament doing the same. We urgently need our politicians to affirm that we have only one flag, and fly only that one in official places, and that we have a history to be proud of.

An astronomer has claimed the moon is part of "indigenous sky country" after being asked whether Australians should be concerned about a SpaceX rocket which is set to crash into the lunar surface this week. Rebecca Allen, the Co-Director of the Space Technology and Industry Institute at Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, also said the moon was important for aboriginal storytelling, and therefore “not just something for us to go and explore”. Late last year The University of Newcastle was given more than $500,000 in taxpayer funding to “embed aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledge in Australian space policy’’ via a project that also used the term “sky country”. The university said the $528,491 Australian Research Council grant will “help shape culturally respectful and environmentally responsible space exploration”.

Is that anything like albo and co promising not to change negative gearing? Maybe they both had their fingers crossed.

Net 0 using weather dependent intermittent generation, allowing men playing in women's sport etc and lying about cutting negative gearing. 3 just off the top of my head.
