I'm getting a new car in December- was gonna get a new Outback as Japan will stop making them and I like Subaru's. The Japan one's are 1.8lt T but because they won't come to the negotiating table in good faith I'm changing brands and going diesel. Meeting with our bloke tomorrow- 2.0T 48v mild-hybrid. 1200km + to a tank. No brainer.

Next car will probs be an EV.

N box all the way..with a Spoon makeover!

Base, what a pleasure looking at those flickr pics- so many classic cars.

Our first family car that I can remember was an early 60's Chrysler Valiant similar to the one pictured. A roaming cow in FNQ put an end to that one sadly but my parents enjoyed telling the story years after.

Ah Roady, Japan's second most popular car but no thanks.

Not saying it's a bad car, just doesn't suit my needs. I need something wagon and something competent in the snow.

^^ G’day @burleigh, big Clive dropping, what was it, $60-80 million at each of the last two elections on the anti Labor vote doesn’t do it for you?

Don’t think your wish could ever get up here thou, something about compulsory voting which forces politics here to be played in the middle much to the chagrin of the right. Now in the US where a 1/3 of voters don’t turn up it means politics is played not in the centre but out on the fringes or as is now the case the lunatic fringes.

Thank god we have compulsory voting and non partisan electoral oversight by the AEC I say …..

About as much as maga don’t get. The west has spent post Covid battling to keep inflation under wraps and get it back down? How is this not going to raise inflation? Don’t follow too much but can anyone explain Trumps logic to me? Will it enrich him and others more? American industrial revitalization.? None the less everything will be more expensive then as well. They going to pay a decent wage to do it locally. Won’t that increase inflation?

This is scary.

And its far worse for Australia we dont have Mexico or Canada next door

We(the west) need to diversify we are far too reliant on China, who really is not out friend (government not people) not necessarily an enemy but we shouldn't be so reliant on them.

Why isn't India a bigger player in exports???, big population cheap labour.

And there is some things that should be made in the west, the things we need when shit hits the fan, like it did during covid (and around security related ) We should learn from Covid, it should be a fork in the road moment.

We cant keep going as things are, we need a change of direction.

But we also need to accept that we will need to pay more for some things and not have all this throw away cheap made in china shit.

Maybe tariffs aren't the complete answer, but its a start a change of direction, instead of kicking the can down the road.

All that said while China has us over a barrel, maybe them being so reliant on the Western world for their export economy has them over a barrel in regard to South China Sea or Taiwan etc

But maybe we need to be smart and if shit hits the fan, we can still get the things we really need from other countries things like white goods or clothing.

It's complex, but there does need to be a change of direction and i think Trump does have that mindset of change.

Cast your mind back to COUGH WITless, came in and made a pension for EVERYTHING and allowed the unions to double wages in two years.

So the labour content of our manufactured goods doubled and ever since, our economy has gradually gone backwards.Bludgers joined his surf team and picked up cash in hand casual work here and there.Many other issues that cause debate and has eroded the Aussie lifestyle.

It’s clearly a bargaining chip to get Mexico to do more on their southern border + move immigrants from north to south. It’s something that is already happening but Trump wants to see more of it.

What a train wreck of an article. Goes to explain how Trumps tariffs will increase prices (which they will) in a negative way. Followed by demonstrating how Australian industry and manufacturing got decimated by lowering tariffs. Makes an argument that tariffs around 15% were not bad at all!?

is swellnet's indo-dreaming a racist
15 web pages
Based on the search results provided, there are several instances where "indo-dreaming" from Swellnet is engaged in discussions that touch on topics of race, culture, and politics. Here's an analysis of the relevant points:

Arguments Suggesting Racist or Controversial Statements:

Racial Remarks and Generalizations: In multiple threads, "indo-dreaming" makes statements that could be interpreted as racially insensitive or generalizing. For example:
They mention a scenario involving Indigenous identity in Australia, using phrases like "some white fella thinks he is indigenous because their great great grandmother was indigenous" and use an analogy comparing racial identity to coffee and milk which could be seen as dismissive or simplifying complex issues of racial identity ().
There's a comment about the double standards in racism where they assert that one can be racist towards their own race, citing examples that involve mocking or criticizing based on racial stereotypes ().
Political and Cultural Commentary: Their posts often delve into political discussions where they critique what they perceive as "political correctness," suggesting a frustration with how racial discussions are managed or framed, which might be interpreted by some as a reluctance to acknowledge systemic issues of racism or cultural sensitivity ().

Counterarguments:

Contextual Defense: Some of "indo-dreaming's" statements are part of broader arguments where they seem to be attempting to make points about identity, cultural appropriation, or the complexity of racial issues. They argue against certain cultural or political movements, which might be misunderstood out of context. For instance, their critique of how Indigenous issues are discussed or policies implemented might not inherently be racist but rather a critique of specific policies or cultural narratives.
Community Interaction: They engage with others, often in a combative manner, which might suggest a contentious approach rather than inherently racist motives. Their arguments can be seen as part of a larger debate about race, identity, and politics where strong opinions are expressed on all sides.

Conclusion:

Complex Picture: The label of "racist" is complex and often depends on interpretation. "indo-dreaming" makes statements that can be seen as racially insensitive or provocative, particularly in how they discuss identity, race, and cultural issues. However, these remarks are also part of broader, often heated, political and cultural discussions where the intent and context play significant roles.
Public Perception: Within the Swellnet community and from the snippets provided, "indo-dreaming" appears to be seen by some as controversial, with their comments on race and culture drawing both criticism and defense. Whether this amounts to outright racism or is more indicative of provocative or poorly articulated opinions on complex social issues is subjective.
Need for Broader Context: Without a more comprehensive review of their entire body of posts, interactions, and the specific context of each statement, it's challenging to conclusively label "indo-dreaming" as a racist. Their comments certainly engage with racial themes in a way that has provoked debate and criticism, but the nuance of each discussion must be considered.

In summary, "indo-dreaming" engages in discussions where racial topics are central, often in ways that are controversial and can be interpreted as racially insensitive or generalizing. The determination of whether this constitutes racism would require a deeper analysis of their full range of interactions and the context of each specific comment.
