I’ve lost faith in all of them. Checked out to an island. Angus Taylor ffs, that’s the alternative? Hanson? She’s a fking Nazi. World has gone mad.

I checked out from dealing with the supermarkets a long time ago. The greens could be so much more than an anger department, it’s frustrating.

It’s not Labor fighting culture wars, if the greens were realistic then they might get my vote.

They can say this shit and it may sound great but it’s fantasy land. This is the problem with the greens, they live in a fantasy world.

I should say she's not the minister rather our representative MP.

#auspol The minister for the IOT is up here and I'm pleased to say she caught the passenger plane like the rest of us. Here for a week, I hope I get to meet her.

You think that didn't happen? You think it's a conspiracy? Lay off the pot mate LOL The sad reality is that Israel have created a generation of enemies and will constantly face this kind of threat.

This was very clearly explained by the RBA the other day. West media being hysterical over nothing again🙄

Wait until one of the madmen use a tactical nuclear weapon. People think times are hard now, we haven't seen anything yet.

Everyone complains however nobody seems to offer reasonable solutions. This is so 2026. People need to harden up because shits about to get a lot worse. Who would have thought constant growth isn’t sustainable 🤦🏻‍♂️

It looks like a change of government, prey people don’t vote ON that would be a far greater problem.

I enjoy your Sunday posts normie but from what I’ve read Jane Hume and Greg Sheridan are on the tv so given it’s 630 here I think I’ll stay in bed 😂

There is hope it will be beneficial to the community, it's certainly created jobs I hope it introduces renewables. Large solar intake here because electricity prices are crazy.

Spokesperson for Angus Taylor and Jane Hume (PhD). @peterduttonsays.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
Google are building a data hub here connecting sea cables, I don’t know if they have any requirements but the hope is they build renewables.

Spokesperson for Angus Taylor and Jane Hume (PhD). @peterduttonsays.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
Diesel generators, the fuel is shipped in, it’s pretty crazy. A small wind farm and solar would work well here but this island is stuck in the past. Kind of why I like it but yeah we need renewables. Power for the data hub being built will be interesting.

Spokesperson for Angus Taylor and Jane Hume (PhD). @peterduttonsays.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
We pay a stupid amount for fuel here on the island. Electron trips to the beach would be nice. The Alfa is going to kill me, it’s very thirsty.

You will have to excuse me I checked out from reality some years ago. I spend my days working and floating in the Indian ocean. Madmen run the world so I'm not going to let them win.

Yes sorry no tail pipe emissions is massive and I said in my early posts that is the pro. The con is they will do jack shit to save humanity. I love EV's, I'm just sadly realistic and old LOL

Replace a plastic thermostat on a 5 year merc, days work coolant hose clamps packaging, it's a joke to think the industry gives a fig. Sorry to be cynical but this is experience. Nobody is trying to save the planet, nobody that could make a difference. EV's wont make a shit bit of difference.

Spokesperson for Angus Taylor and Jane Hume (PhD). @peterduttonsays.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
Nothing I order comes in any sane packaging. Lately it's been Nissan parts, crazy waste. Tripple wrapped parts inside box's filled with foam wrapped inside three layers of cardboard. It's a fking joke.

What was wrong with the AC, something must have failed.

Spokesperson for Angus Taylor and Jane Hume (PhD). @peterduttonsays.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
After purchase servicing and repair, it's not going anywhere. When I buy a new part and it doesn't come in five layers of plastic and cardboard then maybe I'll believe the auto industry gives a fk.

Tell me how your Audi's AC system is different to an EV?

Spokesperson for Angus Taylor and Jane Hume (PhD). @peterduttonsays.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
I know nothing about bikes, some of the old alfas I know had Spanish starters and alternators. Disaster, the best stuff was always the Italian parts.

You can buy a car with three years free service and 100k warranty. You can also buy a Ferrari. Same for EV's, don't try and bullshit me with rubbish.
100
Spokesperson for Angus Taylor and Jane Hume (PhD). @peterduttonsays.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
No. I new ICE car does not cost that much to service. Outside of warranty or the service program you purchase when buying a new car, that's a different argument.

Spokesperson for Angus Taylor and Jane Hume (PhD). @peterduttonsays.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
That's fine but it doesn't change the fact EV cooling systems are complicated. I've spent hours changing plastic coolant system parts on modern cars, tell me how an EV will be any different. Manufactures need failure for profit.

An Italian car using German electrics which has been that way for some time, I want to pull my hair out. Where is Magneti Marrelli.

If I was in the market I would go hybrid. Toyota have been making them for 30 years.

Spokesperson for Angus Taylor and Jane Hume (PhD). @peterduttonsays.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
Sadly the wife didn't follow, other than that it's pretty nice being 2000 k from reality/bullshit. I'm currently working on getting my last alfa romeo up here but the shipping is a killer. We have a hand full of hybrids will be interesting to see the first EV's, our climactic conditions are brutal.

Spokesperson for Angus Taylor and Jane Hume (PhD). @peterduttonsays.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
Yup but hey what would I know I have spent most of my life working on Italian cars 🤪 It's all a bit beyond me now, at 52 I'm happy on this tiny island helping the community keep all kinds of crap running.

Spokesperson for Angus Taylor and Jane Hume (PhD). @peterduttonsays.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
When I first did some work on them I was amazed at how complicated they are and how similar they are to an ICE vehicle. I don’t know why but I was expecting things like suspension brakes and drive shafts to be different. It’s just the same rubbish with an electric motor.

Spokesperson for Angus Taylor and Jane Hume (PhD). @peterduttonsays.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
Your oil filter just got replaced by a battery filter. You now have 2 different kinds of coolant. You still have brake fluid and gear oil. You think the auto industry is going to engineer their way out of after sales profiteering.
000
Spokesperson for Angus Taylor and Jane Hume (PhD). @peterduttonsays.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
That’s not true. You have filters and fluids like any other car.
100
Spokesperson for Angus Taylor and Jane Hume (PhD). @peterduttonsays.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
True but it would run most of the time heating and cooling the battery even when the car isn’t being used which doesn’t happen with an ice. I’m just pointing out that ev’s while great are really not much different to an ice car from a mechanical point of view.

Spokesperson for Angus Taylor and Jane Hume (PhD). @peterduttonsays.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
Two seperate cooling systems. One for the electrical side and one for heater/AC. Five pumps controlling the systems.

Spokesperson for Angus Taylor and Jane Hume (PhD). @peterduttonsays.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
Oh you don’t need to tell me lol. From the EVs I have worked on not much is going to change. A Volvo with 5 water pumps all plastic? Mechanics won’t be out of work.

Spokesperson for Angus Taylor and Jane Hume (PhD). @peterduttonsays.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
New ICE car cost 1000 to service, if it does you are getting ripped off. I'm a mechanic who is charging 1000 for an oil and filter? Not having your car looked at least yearly is pretty bloody stupid from a safety point of view. Tesla, their service schedule is when the car breaks bring it in🤪

Spokesperson for Angus Taylor and Jane Hume (PhD). @peterduttonsays.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
Yes and like all new cars an ever increasing use of plastic components. 6 week wait for a dealer to have a look is pretty bad, glad it was something simple. I wonder what aftermarket scan tools are available for EV's now days, might have a look later.
000
Spokesperson for Angus Taylor and Jane Hume (PhD). @peterduttonsays.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
The automotive industry is not about to engineer aftersales profit out of the industry. Instead of changing the air filter on your ICE you now change the air filter on your battery pack for example. Mechanics will never be short of work.

Spokesperson for Angus Taylor and Jane Hume (PhD). @peterduttonsays.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
I often read things like EV's are simple, don't need servicing or don't use oil. Non of which is true unfortunately. They are not a magic carpet. It is however wonderful that they don't produce exhaust emissions and I am certainly not against EV's.

Spokesperson for Angus Taylor and Jane Hume (PhD). @peterduttonsays.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
As a light vehicle mechanic (30 years) I'm qualified to work on them, have done power down power up training but these days there is also a dedicated EV trade. Would pay huge in the mining sector. I'm semi retired living on a tiny remote island these days, quite happy thank you ;)
