  6. Seventy years ago, my father weighed 19 stone - 120.6 kg. We lived on a farm. He ate fresh food grown on the farm. Used horsedrawn machinery. Never drank alcohol, never had fizzy drinks or takeaway food (didn't exist). Worked from sunup till dark. I inherited the fat genes.

  9. I'm afraid I'm very behind the times with prices these days, I must get out more often. I had a session at physiotherapist falls and balance clinic this morning. One hour session $185. I don't know how much I will get back from Medicare. Have to do exercises so I can stand on one foot with my eyes closed. Try this if you are my age, early 80's. Stand upright with your feet together and eyes closed. Hold that for 30 seconds. Not easy. have something close to you that you can grab onto for support. Also, there's a 4 bed, 2 bath, 2 car space home across the road from me up for rent - $690.00 per week with $3000 bond. That's more than the single pension, although a single pensioner wouldn't need a 4 bedroom home.
  10. In New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, and South Australia, P-plate drivers are generally prohibited from operating vehicles with a power-to-weight ratio exceeding 130 kW per tonne. This restriction significantly impacts electric vehicles (EVs), as many popular models—such as the Tesla Model Y and high-spec variants of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6—exceed this limit due to their high power outputs, even though their heavy battery packs often keep their ratios close to the threshold. While the 130 kW/tonne rule is the primary metric, New South Wales also bans specific EVs classified as "high-performance" based on other data, regardless of whether they technically meet the power-to-weight cut-off. In contrast, the Northern Territory, Australian Capital Territory, Tasmania, and Western Australia have no vehicle power restrictions for P-plate drivers, allowing them to drive any EV regardless of performance specs. South Australia’s restrictions additionally apply only to P-plate holders under the age of 25. Tesla Model Y: The entry-level Rear-Wheel Drive variant is banned in NSW and Victoria because its power-to-weight ratio is approximately 132.7 kW/tonne, just above the 130 kW/tonne limit. Hyundai Ioniq 5 / Kia EV6: The Techniq/Epiq and GT-Line variants are banned in NSW (and likely other states) due to being classified as high-performance, despite some variants having ratios under 130 kW/tonne. Allowed EVs: Single-motor models like the MG 4 (approx. 90 kW/tonne) and base-model Polestar 2 are generally permitted across all states with restrictions. Penalties: Violating these rules can result in substantial fines and demerit points, such as $603 and 7 demerit points in NSW, which can lead to license suspension for P1/P2 holders. AI-generated answer. Please verify critical facts.
  11. P-platers cannot drive a Tesla Model Y, and possibly many other EV's, because the power to weight ratio is too high. They have to drive ICE vehicles till they are off their P's.
