Hardly a supercar...

I was told in car body there is a “hook” point. A area that has being strengthen area to take the force of being pulled or towed without damaging the body or the structure of the car.....

The Government steered Australia through the coronavirus crisis, can it engineer a recovery?The Government ditched its free market ideology to prop up the economy during the peak of the COVID-19 crisis, but this Budget sets out a path back towards business as usual for the Coalition, writes Ian Verrender. The states steered Aus through covid. Scomo wanted us to go to the footy. Not over yet fucksticks Which Govt? Hardly the Feds. They were dragged kicking and screaming to the party and against all their worst instincts. Also, we're not out of the crisis yet. More professionalism and less Scomo fluffing please.

Tax cuts more about popularity than digging economy out of recession.JoshFrydenberg had no choice but to spend big. But has all the money added to the nation’s debt been chosen to deliver the greatest possible gain in jobs? No. That’s the problem with the 2020 federalbudget, writes Ross Gittins. | OPINION auspol fedpol JoshFrydenberg Pack or arses...more than half the people on jobseeker (people older than 35) have been left out in the cold with no incentive for business to employ within this age bracket. Yet this age bracket have children, rent food etc. The risk of family homelessness just increased 100x JoshFrydenberg I agree but tax cuts don’t put much back in the pocket for low to middle income earners only to the high end who don’t need that extra 200 a week. The lower and middle can do a lot with that extra money and it would go back to the economy as would an increase in the pension. JoshFrydenberg We have a huge vacuum in the trade based occupations and the associated training. Immigration doesn't solve the problem as nearly all countries do not meet Australian standards. Bring back TAFE colleges teaching relevant skills.
