what do you folks mean by wet or dry ? thanks :)

Not to go offtopic..... Cam if your saving that much money after 4 years you should put the money on a house :) Assuming housing prices keep going up heaps in a few more years you could sell the house, buy a smaller house + have money left over for a plane. *edit* plus if your living at home you could rent out the house for more $$.

*edit* never mind... didnt relise how old the thread was.

I get the subtle message in your post and partially agree.. however the problem is with people coming on Work Visa's and swiping the work... If your an Australian Citizen (regardless of nationality) you have every right to work and try get the best pay/job you can in Australia. Its the groups of people that get mass-imported via Work Visa's for temporary job that are causing the problem. Well not them, but the AUS companies hiring them. *edit* - you should be anoyed aswell Tomo. Didnt Qantas or someone move alot of there repair work overseas... Your a mechanic yeah ? (diff issue, but similar underlying problem)

Very true Dazza. People dont relise its going to be effecting EVERY industry soon. Interesting little fact which not many people know. The Gov plans to use an international company to carry out the testing and part of the rollout for NBN. The company in question has no experience doing this, Its not a company from US/EUROPE/ASIA where similar networks have been succesfully setup, the company just quoted 1/3 cheaper than everyone else. (and no im not trying to sway peoples votes, voting is over :) )

dont you have a handbag ? =)

Vote greens if you are indeed a fan of boat people & heroin addicts. The policies pretty much stop short on saying "we will have banners welcoming the boat people" Its actually quite concerning reading some of the policies they have on the website..........

Not to mention some are very similar looking between the 2 industries. I have to stop and think if i mean VRF or VFR now :(

Hey Kaz Thanks for clearing that up and posting provisions :)

you have to travel 300km to get to the airport each time ???

isnt the upto 3 hour thing only if you refuse the breath test/out run police or do a u-turn quickly when you see the police ? If not, im fairly confident a year 9 legal studies student would be able to get you off once it got to court...

Yip its the same in all of the rural parts in AUS. Optus/Vodafone share quite a few of the same towers/equip which is why they magicaly provide the same crap level of service. They have the option of using som Telstra towers but choose not to as the backhaul connection (back into there own networks) is to expensive in alot of parts.

what o/s does the samsung use ?

Congrads :) Where does the queue start to go for rides ??

i wish nokia started selling 5110's again. Twas the unbreakable/never fail phone :(
