The REVOLUTION BEGINS, we silent major must stand up and demand change. For to long, politicians, minority groups and social engineers have had their way and have stuff this wonderful country.
For to long we have put up with Federal Tax (Introduced by the Hawk/Keating Gov) and GST on petrol (Introduced by the Howard Gov) which = 48.1 cents a litre. We as a society must say No More. We must empower the masses; we must tell them how much the government is s***wing them and enact change. Drive your car until it runs out of petrol, park it on the side of the road and walk home and dont go to work and collect the dole and sit back and watch the country slide into recession. This will send a clear message to the politicians. They need people to work to keep the economy rolling and to do this people must be able to get to work.
The same thing applies to the Banking Industry. We should go to our boss and ask to be paid in cash, close our bank accounts and then take our money home and keep it in shoe box under our bed. With no one depositing money into the banks they can not slug us with fee and therefore can not make a profit. Here is a novel idea, what if every credit card holder and home loan holder in Australia refused to pay back their debt, what would the banks do; it would more then likely cost the banks more to recover the debt then to write it off.
Telstra is another company we must revolt against. They plan to remove public phones which is driven by the need of the public to have mobile phones. If you look out side the box, Telstra make more money out of mobile phone users then public phones (on an average mobile phone contract you may pay $22 a month and that is before you make a call. Using a public phone would only cost you a couple of $ not much a profit for Telstra).
Well it is time to get off my soap box and let the government and multi-national company s***w what little money I have left out of me, but remember THE REVOLUTION IS COMING AND IT IS TIME FOR CHANGE.
you've been standing in the back room again with the lid off the metho bottle again haven't you Anthony
Can anyone remember how much diesel used to be before ever man and his dog/ woman and her children bought a diesel 4X4. Diesel used to be a waste product of petroleum refining.
I well remember the 2 Shillings,(20 cents a gallon),back in the Sixties,
In Fact I was a young Lad driving for Huttons Smallgoods,in Maitland,when the changeover took place,in 1966.
LPG is also a waste by-product of petrol production, in fact they can't NOT produce it!!! If the oil companies don't collect it and transport it for sale they have to burn it off - usually recognisable as those great big long tubes that poke out of oil rigs and over the ocean with the huge jets of flame spewing forth.
Want a cheap alternative to all petro-chemical fuels - Did anyone see the 2 linked stories a while ago on Beyond Tomorrow about the separate Aussie & French inventors who have working usable vehicles that run on compressed air? Hard to believe, until you see it in action! These links give a very brief story synopsis:
THE REVOLUTION IS COMING AND IT IS TIME FOR CHANGE.
VIVA LE REVOLUTION!
we hear ya! its all about the $$$ at the end of the day. sack 100 staff to keep share prices high for the share holders.... dont wory about unemployment
The spiraling cost of petrol was the motivation to get back into Motorbikes. I own a Hyosung GT 250 and it has a 17 litre tank and a range of approx 350-400kms depending on how hard I ride it I have a round journey to and from work of 70 Km's (350 a week) and my fuel cost for a week are approx $15-18. My EL Falcon which I hardly drive now cost's approx $70 a week to and from work.
it will continue to go up till around 2012 when peak oil will hit and then the Americans will freeze the remaining oil reserves in the middle east on the pretext of their military needing it to protect us all from the terrorists.
Funny that, The US has 4 large (permenant) bases now in Iraq. The US are in Iraq for good, and all for oil. We as the little guys are being screwed by forces well out of our control. Sorry to get political (show mercy mods) but democracy doesn't mean a thing nowadays.
There is some who think we are NOW at peak oil. There is still heaps of oil out there but extracting and refining it is going to be expensive.
Cost me $68 to fill the VT Commodore last night with the 4c discount (which is another scam in itself !!!).
If the US decide to make any pre-emptive strike against Iran, then petrol will spiral out of control, no 2 ways about it. If this happens then the global economy with go south with it.
I can only think the worse - a recession.
I hope George Bush and Co think carefully on this one.
I sometimes miss my bike!! As well as being very economical (especially with petrol prices like this and rising) they also made traffic jams non existent.
In this instance I mean ethanol blends and biodiesol...
It is technologically possible (Brazil is a world leader) to convert many of the food crops grown into fuel and fuel additives and at the current price of oil the economics look okay...
One of the things that has amazed me has been how little ethanol is used by people in and around Sydney...if we simply diverted the grain and sugar that we export and converted them to fuel we would see a decrease in dependence on foreign oil but based on some models we would also reduce overall greenhouse emissions...same with oil seed crops and animal fats/cooking oil...all pretty easy to change into fuel...
I bought a push bike from big w for $200 and it will save me around $2,000 a year on my fuel bill as it is about a 30km round trip to work 6 days a week.
Unfortunately my kids spend my savings on movies and dvd's
Oil peak is more of a concern than prices the increase in oil prices are only the start, everything we depend on and use in our daily lives is reliant on oil especially the basics, water, shelter and food , when oil runs out our way of life will change for ever.
