The Australian totalitarian megathread - She won't be right mate.

[Thiletonomics]

The Chinese petrol cars are waste, but their EVs are honestly not bad. Way better then anything American made at minimum, but that's a pretty low bar.
One of my uncles bought a BYD and drives it everywhere with no issues. Got over 20,000km so far (in under a year) with no problems.
Chinese petrol car reliability is hilariously bad, but I'm not seeing it with their EVs. Gonna be a longer term question to ask in a few years, I think. Since they are all pretty new so far.
The other issues (rust, battery fires) I haven't seen happen here, even on the lowest tier MG. I imagine the general standards for cars is higher here in Aus then China, so would expect cars to be higher quality overall.

The Aussie used car market is an absolute disaster at the moment and cars are not depreciating at all in price. Not even a shitty Chinese petrol car is depreciating that much in price, and especially not their EVs.
My 15 year old Toyota has gone up in price (despite putting more k's on it) in the last few years, its that bad.

So it seems like Chinese car brands send "better made" (how much better is to be seen though) cars to Europe, Australia, Japan, and South Korea, while poorer countries in Africa, Latin America, Southeast Asia, and China itself, get the REALLY SHITTY QUALITY ones. I guess they have to have some sense of quality because it's harder for Chinese auto makers to cover up the defects like how they do in China with how they work with the CCP to go after ANY form of criticism of their cars.

There have also been reports of airbags not deploying in Chinese cars in car crashes.

The ABC did an expose on the redpill/manosphere.

Video is of a SEAnigger, the toxic manosphere guru shown is some mystery meat negroid. Most of the male and female models shown are white:

Brown men seethe they can't get white women.
Better import them by the millions!

It's been the modus operandi for 2/3 decades for the A team day shift to work alongside the Western engineers and ship quality products, throw away the widgets that fail QA and then the B team night shift comes in clandestinely to pick up the QA fails and manufacture dog shit without standards for domestic consumption.

What's interesting is that it used to be iPhones that were crazy expensive in China due to tariffs/duties, even though they were sold mere metres from the factory and hadn't left China, so domestic manufacturers were much more popular. It seems to have eased up though, due to blanket phone subsidies and relaxing of foreign manufacturers being taxed, I assume because either way those factories bring money and jobs into China.

I would suspect long term Chinese QA will increase, not to Western levels, but close enough to where people don't mind a 95% good enough rating compared to 99.99% survive a road train driving over you if there's a 20% discount compared to a competing model.

US is pushing to know what role Australia (and Japan too) would play should a war with China over Taiwan take place
acting defence minister is rejecting the call to declare a role

bit of an update
Albo has now gone public and has agreed with the defence minister
he has said we will not commit troops to any conflict "in advice" of the conflict occurring
he took it a bit further by saying our focus is on "peace & security" in our region

They were all too keen to discuss hypotheticals when locking us up for two years.

First time in a long time Australia hasn't followed the US into any potential conflict. I'm at least a little pleased he didn't agree to send another generation to die while they're replaced at home by Jeets.

White men to blame though for some reason.
can't point out the races.

I think the ABC or the guardian said not long ago that looking things up for yourself was dangerous because the average Australian isn't intelligent enough to discern TROOF.

 

[Salt_Merchant]

If you think that the pentagon has nfi what wed be doing in the event of a chinese invasion of Taiwan ive got a bridge to sell you

what we have refused to do is publicly state wed go in lock step with the US. what we have agreed to publicly and what weve agreed to privately are two different sets of rules/


strategic ambiguity has been the policy over taiwan for what, 50 years now, it hasnt changed, the US has never officially committed to the defence of taiwan because that would lead to war with china directly, but id bet dollars to donuts the us has committed off paper to the defence of taiwan, as has Australia.

Good to see tax dollars going on superimposing stock footage of white people over degenerate brown influencers and followers.

Seems like there was another stabbing in a Melbourne shopping centre with the stabber yelling the peaceful member of the communities catch phrase.
Not even sure how this happened because Machetes are banned so it's probably some nazi setup or something.

American corporations that use us as a corporate tax haven

What American corps are using AU as a tax haven? Whoever they are, they are fucking stupid. Can you imagine going to all the cost and effort of setting up a subsidiary of your company half way across the world, in a country with a borderline failing economy and tiny marketshare, all so you can pay more taxes than you would in 99% of other places lmao

My understanding is that companies that succeed almost always immediately leave AU and never come back due to; Less taxes, less regulation, better investment opportunities, better IPO on american stock exchange vs ASX, better networking opportunities, better user demographics/market exposure, the list goes on. The only exception I can think to this is mining and finance, and finance will probably be cooked whenever the housing bubble goes and takes the whole economy with it.

 

[Screamer_2]

The whole aspect of whether Australia would be involved or not with a US war with China over Taiwan is moot. The war would be run from Australia as the US military infrastructure to run that war is out of Australia. Australia has no choice. It would be involved no matter what. If America went to war and what ever soy PM said, "we're staying out of it." Which they'd never do, but if they did. It would be meaningless.

Taiwan number 1

What American corps are using AU as a tax haven?

Literally none, our tax rate is almost 10% higher than the US, we're only a tax haven compared to Brazil. Most countries have between 10% and 20%, we have more in common with failed African states in our tax rates.

they found the missing backpacker
shes alive

she has explained what happened
lots of people asked "why did she leave her car" and this appears to be the reason
she lost control of her car, crashed and hit her head pretty badly
in a daze she left her car and got lost

They didn't say that, they said "we haven't decided" which is newspeak for "we have decided but we're not ready to tell you what the decision was yet".

 

[glass_houses]

If carmakers would just release a cut-down model with all the computer bullshit taken out they'd honestly probably sell in decent numbers.

Computers are a probably a significant reason why older cars are still overpriced. Anything released in the past five years is one failed update from being an overpriced brick needing towing to the dealership.

That's a reasonable explanation.

Remember that murikun twat a few years back who deliberately got himself lost on a vision quest?
