But I'd think there could be a respectful discussion about the best / worse recent Prime Ministers without arguing personnel politics.

So far all I am reading here are people's recollections of factual achievements of various governments and the weighting forum users place on those achievements.

Keep it up forumers, and peace and love to you all.


May your oblate spheroid shower you with all the peace and love you desire.

Given that political discussion is apparently permitted....

Gough Whitlam’s greatest achievements include establishing universal healthcare through Medibank, making university education free, and ending military conscription.

He created the universal healthcare program that laid the foundation for modern Medicare.

Started the legal process for First Nations land rights, famously handing title deeds back to the Gurindji people.

Supported national wage cases to extend the adult minimum wage to women.

I was going to vote for Whitlam, but then I checked the rules and saw that political comments and conspiracies are not permitted (unless you are Snoidberg). So I withdraw my vote.

Given the importance of this question to Australian national identity perhaps a better place to pose it than Seabreeze.com.au/forums would be in the forthcoming National Census 2026 ?

Right under the question :
#49) Are you or have you ever been an antisemite
could be the question
#50) Who should be the new host of Today - channel 9's flagship program after tipping point?

I feel a question of more significance and urgency for Seabreeze.com.au/forums users is :

Who should replace Bonominator as Carantoc's biatch on Seabreeze.com.au's flagship forum?


Meh, then again I think maybees we all know the answer to that already.


Are you looking for pro bono publico answers?

I've always been very close to buying at auction - but i need a registered driver really soon. Auction yes if i could spent a couple of months making it noice. Or rego'd and dinged. But yeah Im following them.

So I completely ignored iLoad, then see so many for sale. One has 650,000km 😲 so are they actually OK if well serviced to avoid the black death? Should I consider one if its say 250,000km and had a turbo done and injectors not leaking...?


Shocked at Delica BTW. mid 90's models with 300,000+ km for $10-$15k. Faark.


Many NSW car yards will throw in transport. The bad news is that you can't transfer/renew registration unless you have a NSW licence. So the vehicle has to go over the pits in the new state. The inspector will find all manner of things wrong with the vehicle and offer to fix them quickly at great expense, and then pass the vehicle.

But why?

Definitely pondering but a lot of imports have spent a lot of time idling on a freeway in Japan so I need to think more
I do like that lots of parts are triton and Pajero so they’re easy enough to work on.


I’d rather have a true commercial tho, to avoid a lot of interior strip-out for racks n bed



They are getting ridiculously expensive, but some have only 40,000km... and they are a proper 4wd if that is useful for you.

WA taxpayers fork-out about $2.5 billion every year in their government debt interest payments. Just for context WA government spend on hospitals is about $1.5 billion per year. So perhaps you could spend your $100 on fuel to drive to a different hospital when the one you are sat outside has a 6 hour ambulance ramp (whilst grinning because WA government interest repayments are still lower than any other state).


All that is needed for free money is a WA driver's licence. So I'm happy to accept $100 from the GST-dodging Wait a While taxpayers.

Thus I like the SV deep hex footstrap screws as the driver can engage well and its same as the fin bolts and batten adjuster. Dunno why other manufacturers didn't do that also. However, never seen the need to change from PH1 . I like that everyone on the beach can help me... but at work of course I have all the drivers. Bondhus T-handle = nice


Aren't footstraps normally Ph3?

Free money, I'm in.

It's like the free money I get from taxpayers who are paying for my solar panels.

I've sometimes wondered if there is an equivalent to Engineers Blue that might highlight the high spots. Maybe something like this...

People are sick of leftard BS from the guardian, ABC, channel 9,10,7,sbs the AFL the NRL, every newspaper, the conversation and MSN.

Btw your guardian article seems to be focusing on "negative attention" as much as every other platform.

I think the guardian and all other established msm platforms are feeling like their business models are under threat from podcasters and other independant journalists,

Listening to the guardian bleat about the algorithm like its some sort of biased overlord dragging people away is rubbish. The algorithm works the same way for the left as it does for right.

"Trust in science has collapsed — right? The evidence says that it’s not necessarily so. From a global perspective, public trust in science and scientists is high. Trust has dropped in certain groups, notably among Republican-leaning people in the United States. And research in the United Kingdom shows that the proportion of people who have “a lot” of trust in science tends to be lower among politically right-leaning groups than those on the left. In many countries, people are also increasingly questioning definitive evidence on divisive issues such as vaccines, partly because scientific information is being drowned out online."

"The rise of creator media has been a boon for those who peddle bull****, as bias and bull**** are core features of what wins our attention on social media.

It turns out that when you migrate our entire news media ecosystem on to platforms that map on to our emotional wiring, you are inadvertently building Karl’s podcast. To be successful in this attention economy, the platforms have decided that anger, outrage and controversy rules. That negative attention counts as much as positive engagement. That one must act like a cancelled free speech warrior, even when one may not be. In other words, it’s the algorithms, stupid."
