  1. Compare it to other countries and you will get a better Picture. How much is in Infrastructure and Defence? Population is Also growing. Money into Houses rather than Factories. Still retaining the AAA rating is significant as that affects the Interest rate Gov't have to Pay on Borrowings. Nev

  3. Probably Rembrandt Square.. Nev
  4. A lot of that was done during the Depression The cost today would be incredible. Nev

  11. It's definitely flammable I don't know about in Liquid form. Nev
  12. It won't be easy. If you got it wrong you could lose the Lot. I'd like to see who got the Kick Backs on that one. (And the Japanese one). Nev
  13. The Horse darted into the fray.. Nev
  14. We still have AAA rating , which Murdochs Minions will never Mention. That affects the rate of Interest the Gov't Pays on borrowngs. The big debt was for AUKUS which Sco-Mo got us into. Nev
  15. You are not a Silly Old Fart, then. Everyone farts. Even the Queen. IF you do it in bed under the Blankets that's called a Dutch Oven. Nev
  16. He says "he will work with them" IF they behave themselves?? 2 years to go. He might not live that Long. He certainly won't behave in a more rational way. He's a person where "everything is NOT Enough". They won't be installed for a couple of Months, but the results are astounding. Nev
  17. I've never seen one with flats on the side as depicted there. They are used generally in conjunction with Castellated nuts. A cotter pin is a cylindrical bar with an offset thread on one end and a sloping flat formed along the side opposite the thread offset. . It acts as a wedge. There are also such things as Gib Head Keys, used in Locomotive work and also tapered pins of hardened steel to fix something in a precise position on a shaft, Nev
  18. Trump's ART of the deal is standover tactics. Tariffs CAUSED Inflation. Basic wrong assumption. Any fool could see that. . Nev
  19. Modern Container ships use Super long stroke ,supercharged motors that operate on something close to straight Crude oil 76 Rpm's. Nev

  22. The Americans put him in and can also remove Him. He will be a LAME Duck but He's there for the full term. Kyle, you think he has done a good Job do you? I certainly don't. He's told too many LIES to start with. I don't know how the World can deal with such a LIAR who ignores Democracy and admires Dictators, but that's a widespread Phenomenon in the USA, where Making money so frequently over rides ethics. Australia is not the USA, and Dog forbid it ever becomes such a Place. Nev
  23. He is a Dick-tator by Nature. who is used to getting his way or He tosses all the toys out of the Pram. Nev
  24. I only hold my breath Underwater and when I walk past someone who is vaping or has Farted. Had Men's shed today. Someone started Talking Politics and even a how to vote card. Not good. Nev
  25. WE started from near Zero rate of Interest, which is unsustainable and each increment has been small, resulting in a Large Number of increments. Now we are only slightly above what would be considered Normal. Fuel Price rises are more than enough to Produce high inflation because transport costs flow through to Just about everything. Interest rate changes are a blunt Instrument but the Reserve Bank is not controlled by the Government and IF the RB Over-cook it it may Cause a recession which we don't want and will cause the Interest rate to be Lowered I would not like to be in the R.B's shoes, if that happens but the Opposition will blame the Gov't for that also.
