  1. It depends if the fast charge batteries become widespread. The ability to swap out the battery becomes less important if you have a battery that can be charged in 5 minutes and the infrastructure to do so.

    What.
  3. Peter,(Red750 not the other Peter), I apologise if I did misinterpret the meaning of your post.
  4. Willedoo, that's your opinion which you are fully entitled to have, but I don't agree with it.
  5. Whichever government does the murdering - we NEED investigative journalists to keep shedding light on them. Charging them with espionage offenses and locking them up has a chilling effect on future whistleblowers. If you want a society like China or Russia where you're not allowed to criticize the government or even know what they are doing, that's exactly what you'll get if you treat journalists like the US treated Assange. He may be a flawed individual but all he did was expose the rot.
  6. So... you support the right of the US to murder civilians and keep it quiet under the threadbare fig leaf of "National Security"?
  7. They were only released yesterday.
  8. Now the opposition are trying desperately to find some relevance by acting horrified that the PM rang Julian Assange. Why the hell would he NOT ring an Australian citizen and award-winning journalist who has been either seeking asylum or imprisoned in a foreign country for the past 12 years?? Shows how desperate the LNP are. Even Barmy Joyce, occasional acting PM when their side was in, has very publicly stated that Assange should be brought home.
  9. Good result OME! Hopefully you'll soon be cruising the highways with your CHiP uniform...
  10. He's world famous. If he put up a crowd-funding appeal to pay for the costs he'll get it all back.
  11. The rest of people you mean? I agree. Maybe instead of the technology for detecting that molecule of THC that you smoked 2 weeks ago, the cops should bring back an ability test. Make the driver reverse park behind the cop car. That should pull up anyone under the influence plus plenty of sober people who shouldn't be behind the wheel.
  12. More informed than most, given your background.
  13. As opposed to the laws they'll have to bring in to reverse the ban on nuclear in some states and then force unwilling residents to accept a nuclear power plant next door?
  14. Haven't you seen Full Monty? She could reverse up to it.
  15. Maybe he's having a sly dig. If the BEST thing about Trump is his honesty, then he has no good attributes at all. What, she grabs women on the pussy too?
  16. So... that's lie 30,001? It's probably easier to count the number of true things that come out of Trump's mouth. It'd be a very small number.
  17. If the LNP were fair dinkum about power prices and/or climate change they would have gone to the CSIRO and said "What is the best mix, location, storage and distribution of generation which results in the lowest cost to consumers and can be up and running the quickest?" Instead they start with a solution that is NOT quick, not costed, and has countless legislative barriers. No thought, no planning. If that's how they do policy then why would you want them in government?
  18. Wouldn't they be better off living in treed areas AWAY from the highway? (Roadkill...) Talking of which, I almost hit an owl on Friday morning when driving early. He was perched on a flattened wallaby. I braked for him and he managed to fly off about 2 inches in front of my grille. First time I've seen one for a while.

    No problem at all.
  20. It defies logic that any vehicle (or any other enclosed space for that matter) where humans use and have the potential to get trapped in, would not have a manual way of opening the door from the inside. That doesn't help the toddler of course, but you can always put a rock through the window from the outside.
  21. I wish all these brainwashed Republicans would wake up and realise that their grandfathers / great-grandfathers went to Europe and fought a man who shared a great deal of similarity to the one they currently worship.

    I thought "are" too, but "darest" threw me because I knew it wasn't a word.
