This has really made me angry, hope they are caught and prosecuted to the full extent of the law:

Some farmers and others have a tremendous sense of entitlement and destroy all that is in their way. All the beauty will be lost.
I saw that all over FB.Quote:

An autopsy on the birds will show if the same poison has been used. Thats a lot of birds dead, I imagine it would take a really long time to plant enough bait to kill this many birds if it were a single person doing it by hand, so I can see how the conspiracy has become...Quote:

My daughter lives nearby and the word is poison laced rabbits by a farmer trying to reduce bird attack mortality of young lambs. I am sure this is a frustrating chain of events for the farmer, however you would hope a better response could have been enacted - then again I am not living his story either and don't have the burden of the financial loss. I don't condone his response but can understand his actions.
Hey Kallen, sorry about all that shite mate, bloody bugger you can't get anything done with warranty. I'd help you some way if I could but I'm pretty crap with spanners and stuff.Quote:

Sad such beautiful birds are now dead regardless who is 2 blame :(
Pretty much confirmed it was intentional, bodies were hidden at different locations so they may not have found the total number yet. Looks like a farm manager/worker tipped off Victoria's Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP).Quote:

Intentional by a farmer although illegal is really no different to Agriculture Victoria / DELP or whoever in power doing the exact same thing using 1080 aerial baiting, outcome is the same.Quote:

And again... Ordered a bunch of things from eBay last friday. Some things from mainland China, some from Autoelec Bairnsdale.
Got tracking codes by Friday evening for all.
Today all China things arrived, stuff from Bairnsdale still in transit... Auspost and NBN go hand in hand.
Unreal isn't it. See that mansion ex-Oz Post CEO was selling recently? Fair dinkum.....Quote:

What I don't get is that the Auspost delay appears to be in the 'initial phase', maybe the pick up or the first sorting or maybe its an east coast thing.
The stuff from OS to Perth seems to arrive within 2 days max of getting into Oz
Driving to work this morning and a black vw golf driving in opposite direction to me, in a construction zone, deliberately changes course and drives into the front drivers side of the car, I managed to swerve left and she glances off me, then keeps going. One of the construction guys jumps in a ute and takes off in hot persuit to get rego number, then as I am inspecting the damage with the workcrew, she returns, at speed, zig zagging thu the work site, ignores pleas to stop and disappears past me again. Went down to the local copshop and they took down details and said they would visit her and see about getting her licence and insurance details. If she gives them, then its a simple civil matter - WTF??? Left the scene of an accident twice, speeding in construction zone, crossed solid white lines, and simply too much effort to prosecute these breaches. I said how come, well constable plod replies, she might have been late dropping the kids off to school or late for a pick up, who knows. So, dropping the kids off on time is more important that complying with the law. Not happy. I now have to waste my time, which is money getting quotes and dropping the vehicle off for repairs. Worst she would get is leaving scene of an accident but depending on her excuse this might just rest as nothing.
Report it to another cop shop Phil. Thats not good enough...
Yep, got onto my brother who is in the job, one of his mates is actually the motor accident controller at Knox, and he was called and is not impressed by the feedback on what I was told, so he is taking it by the horns on monday unless the driver fronts with the required info. Right now the driver is claiming she didn't know who was driving her car at 8.30am, and is not answering the phone anymore. Knox coppers need to do a face to face i reckon, however i suspect she is going to get charged with a number of offences as they smell a rat and have seen it a thousand times before. She is currently looking at a $600 fine, immediate loss of licence for 3 yrs, plus plus plus.... Me, i am on hold to the insurance company trying to lodge a claim!!!!
It's unfortunate that to get results it's who you know. Good luck..

You're right, its rubbish, but in order for me to get this resolved and the car fixed, without having to use my insurance cover and pay the excess, i need a bit of help.Quote:

Well I don't know the process of belated testing, or if they would even bother, but her driving was erratic at best. Bit sad if this was the case at 8.30am.Quote:

Yeha that sucks. I blew the big H260 in mine last year and the rear wheels just locked up. Happened going through an intersection and I had punched a nice hole the the house using the pinion gear. Lifting a H260 centre out then in by yourself aint easy.Quote:

Yeah dragging this out laying on my back sux mate. Nah i have always been stoked with the rear LSD so im thinking a front locker might go in though.Quote:

EDIT: with spare change to save for front AL too?

That make great sense MB, but then again not my truck!!
Yeah that does make better sense. Get some reduction gears instead. Bloody hanging for mine to turn up.Quote:
