Mandy asks…
cars eligible for federal enviro rebate in Australia?
I have heard of certain policy regarding to federal rebate for people to change their pro 2005 car to a new environmental friendly car
Is that happening now? if so, which are the cars eligible for such things?
CSC101 Customer Service answers:
I guess the package starts from March 2011. However, as I learned, the rebate is for pro 1993 cars to a new environmental friendly car where we’d get $3000 value for the scrapped car.

Can Someone Help Me With My Car Buying Dilemma?
A little background (vehicles that can be bought in Australia only).
I own a Verada, bought it new and i have to say, money for value here is really good. A good solid reliable comfortable car, with plenty of grunt, the front wheel drive is good too, so…you know what im basically after.
I have around $50,000-$60,000 to play with and want to take advantage of the rebate before 31 dec.
Needs to be family size, 6cyl, a bit of grunt, good quality. I never did really like Holdens or Fords, i think they are a bit shoddy and every man and his dog has one, but however they may of changed over the last few years, so open to ideas, any thoughts?

yes i noticed once you hit the 6cyl for European cars the prices shoot rapidly.
The FPV looks ok, mmm still, i would prefer European too.
CSC101 Customer Service answers:
Anything European is usually great quality and very reliable. Audi, bmw or mercedes benz fit under your price bracket. The only problem here is the engine size. Anything below 60k and your most likely looking at the 4 cylinder engines.
If this is such a big issue to you, you might be better off looking in the asian car market. I.e. Honda accord euro and subaru liberty. If not this, you might have to go with holden or ford. With this price though, it could be worthing looking into HSV and FPV. (FPV F6 would be my pick).
Helen asks…
Has this ALP federal government “Moved Australia Forward” in any way?
Their recent catch phrase is, “Let’s move Australia forward”. The Gillard government has a comprehensive agenda to take Australia forward. The following is a list of some of their policies & achievements;;;;;;

The fact that labor still has support just shows how dumb that particular voting demographic actually is. They must all be semi or completely retarded misfits to still spew out spin about labor being a great political party. Well, idiots, it is not. It never has been and it never will be. The fact that we let the dumbest people in the entire world (labor worshippers) vote will lead to the most incompetent government in the entire world. We should send them all to Tasmania and they can have their incompetent, destructive, retarded commie government, because the mainland deserves better than the redneck/bogan/hillbilly labor clan.
Labor is incompetent at all levels. They turned NSW from the best state to worst state and they’re trying to turn Australia from the best country to worst country.
