The election thread - Two middle-late aged white men trying to be blokey and convincing..., same old shit, FFS.

A good mate of mine has done some in-depth purchasing research into most battery manufacturers & finding the actual truth about their product is bloody difficult.

Much of their headline performance figures are "ideal conditions", and many, many installations don't operate well in hot conditions! But this is Straya, where you a/c your battery room(?).

Bit like cars. They can last 20 years, but you're lucky to get a 5 year warranty and even that's full of fine print...

It's almost like they're expected to naturally deteriorate with age and use at rates out of the control of the manufacturer

Yes, extreme heat or rapid temperature changes is the enemy of a battery. It would work against the saving if you were to run aircon 24/7 for batteries especially on the smaller units. I've used lots of full electric elevated work platforms and scissor lifts over the years and seen gel paste and wet batteries fail on fairly new machines. Don't know if any of you guys have ever walked into a battery charging room, they produce quite a fair bit of heat.

I know this thread is meant to be about Australian Politics, but has anyone been following the shenanigans of UKIP? Their rise and almost immediate tailspin has gone from mildly unsettling to rather amusing. If One Nation is too disciplined, pragmatic and its potential leaders aren't getting into enough punch ups for your emotional needs then this might be the party for you!

I await their Night of the Long Knives reenactment....

Unfortunately the Conservative Party have stepped into the vacuum and pushed to the far right. They are currently talking about making employers put all their foreign-born workers on a national register. Seems all a bit 1930's Germany if you ask me

Yeah, and they seem to be the only major Party in the UK that's still functioning, unless the Liberal Democrats can get some fresh air from UK Labour's squabbles and emerge from their near-death experience at the General Election a year ago as a viable left field (but not Corbyn left - appears unappealing to many) candidate.

The whole of Europe (actually the whole bloody world) is ramping up its ultra-nationalist rhetoric and policies as the effects of globalisation, economic uncertainty and climate change bite into the perceived security and sovereignty of many. If history is any guide we'll probably be enjoying a fairly substantial war in the not too distant future.

So Mike Baird has backflipped. So much for that matter of principle...

 

[hifiandmtb]

You, Baird, are a typical politician fuckwit.

The power of the people and common sense has prevailed! I didn't expect this to happen. Look at all the money wasted brainwashing the masses into the knowledge that dog racing was bad! I wonder if the vote gain/loss will work out in his favour? I feel not, but could be wrong.

Surely this isn't a new revelation for you? Remember...he is friends with Tony Abbott.

Power of the bogan press over a wimp.

I'd say it is trashier than bogan.

Looks like the hate from the mainstream media overpowered the developer donations from those penciled in for buying former greyhound tracks.

Yay for democracy.

But Wentworth Park looks so out of place with modern Australia.

Check out what the US postal ballot paper looks like in Montana:

Each county/state different. You get to vote for everybody!

Looks like this Day is over.

Did he walk before he was pushed? Was he white-anted from within? Hard to see how a housing group can't turn a profit in the Australia's greatest housing boom.

I'd vote Roger Roots for secretary of state.
