  1. All too many confuse two major conflicts here.

     These are firstly, advice on defence materiel is given by defence panels and secondly, the government who then makes the decisions on  what contracts are awarded.

    Australian governments from both parties have ignored defence choices for many years on too many occasions because they are chasing the short term voting popularity. At times contradicting defence advice.

    Our military personnel are then forced to operate the provided hardware and only speak in glowing terms about it.

  2. I have written previously about the huge effect of a small piece of angle section attached to the bottom of the doors of a thruster. It basically destroyed the air flow over the elevators. Be very careful of attaching anything to the side of the thruster.

  3. The aircraft could be a VH experimental assembled from a kit and modified legally .

     I have heard that the battery was on the floor of the passenger side. Not sure if this is correct or myth.

  4. The shortcomings with the lower middle is the effect it has on ramping over lumps bumps and edges off road 

    If you don’t need to do this then a 4wd utility is better.
    I doubt the safety of 1/2 to 1 tonne of water being towed by the displayed ATV. I have a “tall” ATV and hesitate to tow anything approaching 1/2 tonne.

  5. We had our own successful businessman, PM Turnbull.

    I think he had a good chance of success but the BS side of politics killed that stone dead.  PS I don’t like him.

  6. Sporting codes have been granted many exemptions in order to keep them operating. Horse racing operates under certain agreements to allow them to move horses and personnel. If employees threaten to bring down the industry by breaking the rules then they are busted. No bullshit double jeopardy reasons accepted. With rights come responsibilities.

  7. This is a matter of who is the control authority. For searches and order, the police, for fires the state/local fire authority. Other services cooperate under the control authority. This can vary according to need across states and regions.
