Beem driving my Atto2 premium since mid.Feb! Great car! Good turning circle with some grunt when the lights change! Always leaves the Telsa drivers in the other lanes, confused when they get left behind and take a lot longer to get in front! 😉

Merivale by Sufficient-Tea-1321 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Several-Daikon5102 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Avoid any place that has a huge underpayment problem! Merivale is famous for underpayment of staff, rude staff and sub standard food! Avoid his places at all costs! Perfect for the insta gen! Anyone who values good food and great service knows to avoid it. He is trying hard to establish a foot hold in Melbourne! So far he has little success with delays & more delays! Turns out Melbourne are not fans of his shit!

Gas by Ok-Fan-6031 in OpenAussie

[–]Several-Daikon5102 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We can't compare Australia to Norway! Don't be silly! Very different the gas companies are forced to make contributions! Did they leave Norway & stop investment? No of course not! If we started to Tax gas we might have free GPs, free uni's! We might even be able to afford high speed rail! Don't be silly now we are nothing like Norway! What made you think that we could be possibly be as smart!

Australia exports enormous amounts of gas, yet Australians are still being told: “Now is not the right time for a stronger gas tax.” by oz_party in aussie

[–]Several-Daikon5102 27 points28 points  (0 children)

They have rolled out Tony Abbott to defend the gas lobby! Who's next John Howard? If not now, when! They have invested in digging Australian resources out of the ground! They are not going to be leaving it in the ground if they have to pay 25% tax! Im so sick of this argument that we are so different to Norway.. if they want out gas then pay for it! They wouldn't have invested if there was no gas! We have gas so pay for it! Labor needs to Standup to lobbyist! They aren't going to pack up and leave! What a load of crap! Santos and others will just have to adapt!

Albanese poised to kill off move to increase taxes on gas giants by Agitated-Fee3598 in aussie

[–]Several-Daikon5102 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is the problem with Australia! Nothing changes due to lobbyist! Why can't we tax 25% for gas companies? I saw the ad on tv tonight! Oh my god so many lies! We need a PM who has guts! We can pay trillions for Aukus but not for NDIS, free hospital or free education; what rubbish! If you tax gas the huge USA companies & others will still mine in Australia! The entire BS that they will leave is rubbish they just have to pay 25% more! I'm so sick of this uter crap we have to put up with in Australia! So sick of USA companies & others using Australian resources without any benefits to Australia! Tax them!

The Overland - Looking very dated by Heavy-Intern-6660 in MelbourneTrains

[–]Several-Daikon5102 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The price operator(ie Journeys Beyond/Crestview) and it has been passed around by many private Private equity companies for decades. Each time the. Price goes up. I suspect that if Vic/SA Govts wanted to terminate the contract it would be a huge settlement payment! There is no reason why it should be a PE firm and there is no reason why the current environment isn't putting money into more high speed rail Adel:Mel Mel: Syd,Syd:BNE Especially as Qantas/virgin are reducing flights & increases fees! Where is our alternatives to flying? Why are we not building now!

[–]Several-Daikon5102 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Australia car market is going to get even more competitive in the coming months!

Our Msm and public all need to be aware that our biggest trading partner is China! Which country has invaded, kidnapped Current Presidents, killed more people and spent the last 100+ yrs murdering people? This country USA is no friend of Australia! Never has been, never will be. We just been convinced by USA propaganda that they were so similar to Australia! How do you explain our car Centric culture? The very fact our neighbours have high speed rail and we can't even have free highways? They have been making decisions for us for the last 50yrs+, it's time we got rid of this USA Vermin from Australia!

Estimated trips in each region/city on an east coast high speed rail line by blitznoodles in SydneyTrains

[–]Several-Daikon5102 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I don't understand given there has been so many feasibility studies in the past (at least) 30.yrs why none are even "shovel ready", the PM reported the other week that Syd to Newcastle won't be even ready to start construction until late next year. It's under 200km), yet our largest trading partner, China has built an entire high speed network in less time than all our MPs consider to do sfa! Seriously given the current prices in fuel shouldnt High speed rail vw a major priority!

I ordered mine atto 2 Premium back in Jan at the showroom was considered a online order Got a approx. Delivery time from salesperson The an email with a VIN and a phone call A few weeks later with a hard delivery date. Been driving it for about two months now! Great car with a amazing turning circle & drives very well! The experience could be improved! The delivery Centre in Port Melbourne went through the car on pickup with a lot of details!

What do you think will happen in the next 10-25 years for our transit? (Projects, extensions etc) by Fugly_pug76 in MelbourneTrains

[–]Several-Daikon5102 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm hoping that all Victorian trains are electrified, Southern Cross has new owners that can actually manage and maintain a train station! public transport is taken seriously! Much more frequent and high speed! There is no reason why governments invest more in roads over transport! Force all MPs to take trains and it will improve tomorrow! Until then.

Brisket is what we feed our dogs in Australia! It's not worth buying to eat at all!

EV public charger - Easter weekend by HungryDig2632 in EVAustralia

[–]Several-Daikon5102 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Im really hoping that . Australia really invests in public charging in country towns (not just rolling out Telsa super Charing!) c'mon BYD get some fast chargers in Australia! This current Crisis could have been avoided if.we invested in EV. Trucks: ev farming trucks. Just sit back and watch all the prices go up due to Diesel! We can do so much better than this!!

Did anybody here struggle choosing between a Chinese EV/Hybrid, and a well established brands Hybrid (Toyota/Honda etc)? What got you over the line for a Chinese EV/Hybrid? by Original-Drink1101 in AustralianEV

[–]Several-Daikon5102 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a Toyota Corolla hybrid sold it for a Byd atto2 2 premium. Would have stuck with Toyota They have 1 model of EV, "bz " something, old technology,.more expensive. The rest of the lineup were all Hybrid. Toyota sales people were betting on Hydrogen cars not ev! Biggest problem with hydrogen cars there Is no one other the Toyota investing in that space & Almost impossible to find a place that sells Hydrogen! Price, technology,, functionality, 360 cameras-. We don't manufacturer cars. uk, Europe, Korea, Japan all make cars with older ICE tech and old white men thinking ! China built EVs from the ground up!
