As the barge pulls out the ramps are still down or slightly up hill, the deck on the Manta Ray slopes down at the ramps, There are signs and the decky usualy tells you to turn the vehicle off / be in gear and apply the hand brake ..
I was thinking the same but any time I've seen them park with wheels on the ramp it's at the front and they get you to drive up onto it, and in the vid old mate is parked at the back with heaps of space. Park brake or not I don't know why the ramp wasn't up tha far from shore, at the back???

Authorities are warning of high levels of faecal pollution at some of Melbourne's most popular beaches after recent flash flooding, sparking concerns about gastroenteritis.
Key points:
Beaches from Werribee South to Frankston in Melbourne unsuitable for swimming
Storms have swept "poo" into Port Phillip Bay, EPA says
No problems at beaches south of Frankston
EPA Victoria is forecasting poor water quality — indicating unsuitable conditions for swimming — at 21 of the 36 beaches it monitors in Port Phillip Bay.

By "educate" they mean roadworthy inspections, weigh scales and lots of fines.
Like when they go to car shows / events to "interact with the public"...

I don't think they're trying to force anything on anyone. They have just decided that material they have seen, at the establishment named, was insulting to them, and have decided to cease co-operation. No biggie.
I'm sure we'd do the same in a similar, but reversed situation.

So who was it in the blue Colorado that finished up in the drink at North Straddie yesterday ??? >:D
Article said that they drove out of one of the inland tracks too fast & finished up in the drink!
Bit weird - saw the article on News last night & can find it on Google "ute-swept-up-by-surf-of-north-stradbroke-island" but the linked story can't be found?

Beg to differ, the soilders I know would take some insulting and I couldn't see them throwing the toys outta the cot over a pic or two. This is Indonesian being precious again .

Good excuse to get on the news and 'politely' say you're not happy with all of these American soldiers on your door step.

^^^ They back flipped on the Non co operation bit now and are only going to boycot the English language classes .. ***kem ..
The old man and his mates had trouble with them in WW2 and wouldnt trust the bastards until they stopped breathing . Held that view of them till the day he died .
-
Yeah, but there is a vast difference in cultures at play too. Anyway, it appears Wuryanto was going off half cocked, and there wasn't any decision by their government to cease co-operation.
I'd still rather we had nothing to do with them anyway.
Edit: Sorry, Gatot, not Wuryanto.
-
Its double edged. When we first went into Timor after the mighty UN $&@?ed it up. The powers to be wouldn't let them land armed up ! So the SF boys had to disembark the plane unarmed and man up to all these hyped up TNI soldiers. Fortunately through previous cooperation our boys knew quite a few and the officers and the whole situation went off okay rather than a one sided gun fight.
What's that saying keep your friends close and your enemies closer?

Time to send in the army to teach these little ****s whats right... Wheres the do-gooders - send them in to sort it out...
Seven teens are on the run and 50 terrified staff were in lockdown for four hours after the latest riot at a youth detention facility near Castlemaine.
Fifteen detainees escaped from Victoria's troubled Malmsbury Youth Justice centre on Wednesday, stealing cars, ramming other vehicles and prompting police pursuits.

Yeah, I reckon that truckie is busy updating his resume this morning, with all mention of driving being cut out, before looking for his new job!
Ooops, just realised that didn't come out quite properly :-[
I mean he's probably quit driving, rather than been sacked.
-
They said last night, the boom gates and lights weren't working at the level crossing.
Somehow though, the truckie will still get the blame one way or another.
-
Yep - the News showed that they still up when the truck drove through - but they came down after he'd been wiped out ???
Frozen ???
Just as well it wasn't a school bus :'(

Yeah, I can see that Mick Fanning, Jimmy Barnes, Nick Cave and Paul Kelly are much more worthwhile recipients of the awards. >:D
Actually though, I think that anyone who wants to set themselves up, as prime targets for a gazillion different armchair experts to ridicule and criticize, in a bazillion different forums, must have pretty big balls and must be worthy of some sort of recognition. Good to see Alf Stewart got a mention though...... ;D

Two of the little Shits from malmsbury were seen zipping through my town doing about a dollar twenty this a.m. I hear they have nabbed one but trying to find out if they have the other whom apparently legged it into the bush. I'm parking cars in the back yard tonight and locking the house (which I haven't done in years) til I find out for sure. News on the fun polices 2facebook is saying the coppers cant say to much because of something to do with youth identity protection or some crap like that. But seriously?...if them little plicks want to do 120km/h throught a little country town where kids on holidays are playing on and around the street? Shoot the f#@kers.
And the bloody do gooders said it was against human rights to lock the buggers up in an adult prison after the last time they rioted. What about the human rights of the inocent?
Sorry. Turned into a bit of a rant.

Spot on ;D

Looks like we still got a mouthful of her misogynistic accusations despite her being awarded.

Former Prime Minister Julia Gillard was one of 10 people to receive the top honour of Companion of the Order of Australia (AC) today. However, she told ABC news she wanted to see a change in the gender imbalance among recipients.
"If you believe, as I do, that merit is equally distributed between the sexes and you look at anything and you’re not seeing basically half men and half women, then that’s got to tell you that there are women of merit who are missing out," she said.
"When I look at our great nation, I think women are contributing to its building equally to men, so when we’re recognising those who have, sort of, put their shoulders to the wheel for Australia, you would expect to see around about half-half, rather than the statistics we’re seeing now."
The awards should go to those that deserve them, not to someone because of their gender.

And there,
Is one of many reasons why I do not like Gillard. :cheers:

Best practice is the best person for the job gets it, not the second, third or whateverth, just because they meet your demographics. If you want to be the best, you get the best.

Buzzard getting an AC for "Services to Politics" ??? >:(
Whadda did she ever do for politics, or is this now going to be an automatic award for ex-PM's ??? Do we see Tony & Krudd up next time ???
& she's whinging that not enough women got awards, or were even nominated. In that case, you stupid #$%^, get off your arse & write up the nomination form for all your girlfriends! >:( It's fairly easy to do - I know, because I put my FiL in for one several years ago & he got the OAM 8)

Nice to know our illustrious PM has a lazy $1.75 mil laying around to donate to his party and effectively buy his job. Must have checked his ashtray and dug behind the couch cushions to scrape that up. Just curious though...would that donation be tax deductable?

good on him as far as i am concerned...those whinging about his actions are just jelous that he is wealthy IMHO. The Labor party gets it's cash from the unions, so when the Liberal party was lacking funds he stepped up and put his own coin in place to support what he believes in....no big deal in my book, even if there was self interest involved in his motivation for doing it.
