In my opinion daylight running lights are not considered sufficient. Headlights (no high beam) are mandatory and have been mandatory in Europe now for many years.

I wholeheartedly agree with Tom Tank. They are feral and are not part of the Australian landscape. In my opinion they are also very destructive of the pristine environment.

I am not prepared to believe and accept the fact that it could happen to anyone as stated, provided one ensures the usual precautions taken when affronted with scam messages.

[Marten]

Emphatically yes!

[Marten]

Never! Vegemite probably useful for lubrication of vehicles.

First time I hear that some dogs do not leave messages until they get home. If people take their dogs for a walk they invariable do leave a message, why not in a store. In any case, I do not think people should take their animals into a store, unless they are service animals wearing an appropriate vest. These people have no choice, and should not be stopped from entering any store.

I tend to accept Aldi is in our opinion the most trusted brand. Woolworths may be a close second! Weekly shopping at Aldi certainly definitely saves a few dollars.

[Marten]

Most definitely!

I for one prefer to use digital banking, although I also appreciate that a still large group of people still prefer to attend to their banking at their local branch.

[Marten]

Not essential!

[Marten]

Disgusting

[Marten]

I beg to differ. An iPhone has far more capabilities and features; batteries also last much longer.

To Bandy, as people generally do not regard the PM as being ‘amazing’ it is left to Morrison to consider he is.  Someone has to say it, so he chooses himself to make this statement, and hopes a minority of people will accept it as well. 

[Marten]

To Hola, so true! I often take on extra roles, yet I never received any extra pay.

[Marten]

Not a truer statement has been made about our present prime minister, who hopefully will no longer govern Australia in a few weeks time!

[Marten]

What a stupid comment!

[Marten]

One should not repeat not have preferences!  Merely vote for the party whom you hope to govern as is the case with most countries, in particular Europe.

[Marten]

That of course applies to both leaders; a thoughtless habit!

[Marten]

How can one possibly state that Australia is regarded as having the quickest recovering economy. Has Horace Cope ever visited Europe, and in particular the northern part of Europe (Scandinavian) where people enjoy a far better lifestyle than in in many places elsewhere.  Infrastructure, fast railways, promotion of EV’s, care of its elder citizens, etc. etc. The present employment rate in The Netherlands is equal if not better than Australia. 

[Marten]

I simply do not understand why he had to come up with all the sweeteners now while he had the chance during his term right from the beginning to introduce some of these changes. A one-time payment to pensioners sounds very much like a bribe to gain votes. It certainly does not improve the financial position of pensioners, in particular where they are also required to pay rent. They are more likely to pay towards their debt on their credit card, but in merely a few weeks time hey find themselves in exactly the same position.  I also do not accept the fact that the present PM is taking the right steps to tackle climate change. Finally, I consider he is not at all forward thinking in so far as implementing infrastructure, such as fast railways, super highways, encouragement to people switching to EV’s, etc. etc.
