    Is General Motors stuffed?

    I reckon they are. GM more than anyone else have failed to read the market for the last 7yrs or so and have continued to focus on building gas guzzling pick ups. Meanwhile the foreign manufacturers developed hybrids and other fuel efficient vehicles and are reaping the benefits. As others...

    Your Car General Motors - are they finished?

    Latest media reports have General Motors close to bankruptcy and in merger discussions with Chrysler (links here, here and here). They've been looking very shaky for the last 12 months, have not made a profit since 2004, and may just about to be finished off due to the world financial crisis. It...

    Why doesnt the government do this?

    There aint much chance of fitting a dam in Northern Australia bigger than the Three Gorges dam in China. Northern Australia may have plenty of water but it's also very flat. Bit hard to build a viable dam in such situations. The old Bradfield scheme in North Queensland (Diverting the...

    what is Australia's ideal population?

    Good question. I lived up there for 3 years and struggled to justify why. My OP was more about the flood that follows rather than the actual cyclone. Cyclones quickly transform into rain depressions once they hit the coast and I saw two pretty big one in my time up there. My point was...

    Military spending by country (We are 13th) Worldwide

    Proportionate spending to GDP I believe we are in the top 5-10. We spend more on our military than Israel, who have much greater immediate threats. Do we really need such great expenditure or are we pissing money against the wall? IMHO we can justify expenditure on deterents (ie subs...

    Super Hornet purchase confirmed today

    So what alternatives did the government (both lib and labor) have? The F-111's are past it, operating costs are rising and it needs to be parked ASAP. A stop gap was needed. Especially considering the youngest airframe for our frontline fighters are over 25yrs old. Even if the super bug...

    H.M.A.S Syndey found

    A quick check of the web reveals that the Arizona is listed as a war grave and still contains the remains of 1000 crew who where trapped when it sunk. Many of the ships survivors have even had their ashes (or have arranged to) placed in the hull sunken hull after they've died.

    H.M.A.S Syndey found

    I don't think many remains were ever covered from sunken ships during WWII. To my knowledge even the USS Arizona in pearl harbour still contains the remains of around 1000. If the Sydney site is secure and in deep water I can't imagine remaining relatives wanting the remains of the sailors to be...

    Your Plan For Australia

    Mine sound more like refutals of previous posts than my own ideas (as I'm no expert on how to run a country. Society 1 I's time to decentralise Australia. It's disturbing that the Australia's population and political power is confined to just a few cities. Not sure how this could be done...
