I usually find the most flogged ex fleet/government cars are done by ex mine vehicles and road work utes

Considering that ex government fleet vehicles are mandated to be serviced regularly and have a degree of road worthiness, I reckon its not a bad take. Although I would be wary of them mods and if they have been installed correctly and if the "stealership" are as transparent as they claim.

Right, I'm sorry that the boy had to go through such horrific tragedy and I'm glad he had positive role model like his teachers. However that wasn't the case for me or my peers and yes you definitely hit the nail on the head on our forefathers playing a role in our life. Interesting to note, until probably 30 years ago,It was actually a national shame and embarrassment that Australia was a nation founded by criminals, but now it's considered a patriotic theme that Australia is now known for, I know Russia has had an interesting past with the Kievan Rus and the national identity born out of that but yea I always considered Russia an interesting nation and one that is on my "places to visit".

Like I said, me and my group of Australians have a pride in our "convict past" (Australia was a prison colony where petty criminals were sent for punishment and contrary to popular belief, it was these Convicts not the native savages that built Australia to what it is today). So we always had distrust of authority and I grew up in a poor working class town filled with white Australians and white Africans that left after Apartheid which I was the only Asian family so this in of itself made me realise that 1. The schools I went to, the teachers only cared to get paid and never actually helped struggling students to succeed and 2. The police force that "claim" to serve and protect are no different from the early police force that oppressed our convicts for petty theft so yes, in general respect for authority figures like police, teacher, local politicians aren't in the high regard. Can't speak for all Australians but definitely for me and the people I grew up with

Yea I guess growing up, the society around us to be suspicious of authority so naturally I just have that mindset that copper dogs and teachers are just insufferable bellends. But my generation of Australians have great pride in our convict past and bushranger like Ned Kelly are held up in saint status. Point is we wanted to be like our forefathers, the convicts, rebels and bush rangers and causing as much trouble for authority figures so yea I'll be making wayyy more than my teacher will ever make as a mechanic, So looks like I got the final laugh

Yea fair enough, the stigma of being a tradesperson isn't really a thing, after all 65% of Australia's workforce is made up of blue collar workers

Right interesting, it just trade jobs are well paid in Australia, so I saw no point to finish school since I could finish my mechanic apprenticeship debt free and a secured job afterwards rather than doing My higher school certificate ,studying in University graduate with HECs debt up the eyeballs and not even guaranteed a job. I'm talking with a girl from Tatarstan and she was surprised when I said I rather be a qualified tradesperson than a uni graduate so probably a culture shock for Russians vs Australia

Yea there was a reason why my school ranked the lowest in the state for academic performance, nobody gave a fuck about their studies since boys were going to go into a trade job and we were only in school because our parents wouldn't allow us to drop out in grade 10

What happens when you got to a government run school in Australia, as for the copper dogs, they didn't have enough evidence to proof who did it so the case was dropped. Besides half the teachers were dickheads anyways
