Does more than 47% rent? Because if so that should be higher.

Morrison's open contempt for the non-wealthy is half the reason for the fall. He's just as toxic as Hockey ever was.

In the 2009–10 Survey of Income and Housing, it was found that an estimated 33% of households owned their homes outright (i.e. without a mortgage) and 36% were owners with a mortgage. A further 24% were renting from a private landlord and 4% were renting from a state or territory housing authority.

Death is certain, but also Turnbull is going 50-50 against a block of wood with his face scrawled hopefully on it.

pages late but lmao at 'we should speed govern all cars'

Plenty of cars are already speed governed and its easily defeated with an ECU flash. poo poo, some cars you just disconnect the spedometer signal wire and you're done. 2 minutes under the car with a spanner.

Also, it would be reasonably trivial to come down like a tonne of bricks on anyone who was observed speeding in this new environment. Doubly so if there was evidence of sabotage of the system.

First of all, making people comply with the law isn't punishment, unless you view speeding as an inalienable right or something.

Second of all, just because cars have poor speed governance now, doesn't mean we can't design, say, a speed limiter that needs to be in place in order for the engine to turn on with an encryption feature. Sure people could still get around such a thing, but it will require a gently caress-tonne more knowledge than your average revhead is likely to have.

The punishment is making all vehicles hit a brick wall in terms of speed because some idiots drove beyond their ability and died. What about people who want to drive recreationally? What happens when you want to use a Motorsport facility or driver training? What about getting chased by a vehicle that has speed governance removed?

The specific case referenced would have been avoided entirely if the police weren't even there. Odds on the loving pig in the highway patrol vehicle saw a car full of Browns and decided to hook a U turn and give them a hard time. I saw the exact same thing happen last night in Newtown to a bunch of middle eastern guys on King st. They were doing nothing wrong and travelling in the opposite direction to the cops who ripped a skid at the lights to catch up and loving RBT the guy. There was at least 10 other cars travelling the same direction as the cops too. He was spoiled for choice to meet his quota. Zero reason to do what he did to pull that car over.

It's no wonder the driver shat himself and tried to run. Drunk or not, having a car chase you like that is intimidating as gently caress. My skinny white boy brother had the same thing happen to him on the night of the Cronulla riots - he was dropping a friend home (they had been working on a music project that day and when the evening revenge attacks began decided to delay leaving until it settled) and an unmarked cop car ran up behind him at high speed with its high beams on, my brother panicked and Floored it to escape what he thought was a car full of angry lebs coming to kill him, and only after he breached the speed limit by 30+ did they throw the sirens on and booked him for speeding. Something he had no intention of doing until they arrived. As a result he lost his license for 6 months, and his job by extension.

I just wanted to point out how loving dumb you cunts are to even suggest the idea that improving driver training wouldn't reduce road fatalities (or at least the one dopey oval office who suggested it was going to make everyone into a race car driver and therefore less safe). It took me one track day on a course that doesn't even hit 110kmh on the straight to teach me just how quickly poo poo can go wrong in a controlled environment, let alone the streets where you have dickheads all around you barely paying attention. 120hrs of city driving with mum/dad in the passenger seat boredly cruising Facebook until you arrive is insufficient education for operating a vehicle. most of you are probably old enough to have required less hours or probably none at all.
