There's no chance the delivery riders' bikes meet several of the [already existing…

They ignore (not 'get around') the road rules with impunity because they're not adequately enforced.

Are they going to get rid of those delivery riders with their illegal electirc motorbikes too? If no one's going to enforce the rules they…

Fantastic - they'll be stuck in gridlock instead of getting in the way on the footpath

IT system admins call themselves "engineers" all the time now, without any qualifications in engineering, i.e. a BE or similar. I think…

> ATO acts like loan sharks Good. I was forced to pay all my income tax mandatorily upfront, before I even saw a cent in my own account.…

Perhaps "sluggish" is a better word? I've also owned and driven small manuals - agree they're good fun, and the i20 loaner I had once was…

I prefer a manual in any model, but I'm not in the market for a gutless Mazda3 at 32k

I absolutely do care, and will complain about it just as much proportionally

Good tip!

I prefer slightly older but excellent condition vehicles. Brand new cars are quite possibly very recently purchased, or a lease, and…

I think your main issue is that at $160k you're missing at least two cylinders, maybe four. I would've checked the engine on the spec sheet…

Keep blocking the spot (or parking in it) until they give up, then leave it so someone else more reasonable can park there instead of the…

Surely a chalk mark is just a time saving measure so they can more quickly identify for which cars they need to look at their other…

Sure perhaps, but your claim was about the "100 white males" all getting to the same answer in the same way, and that's what I'm asking…
