Well, I've had a fairly terrible start to the new year health wise...

 

[muzby]

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Super AIDS?

Morning.

...and this my friends is where our tax dollars going:

The government's new fleet of armoured cars has arrived, with Tony Abbott travelling to the Prime Minister's XI cricket match in a brand new AK-47 and bomb proof BMW 7-series.

Would you prefer our PM getting about in a horse & cart? His last ride was an 03 statesman. The government spend some money on shit, but the latest spend on those cars doesn't qualify.

Not quite. No. :lol:

How about a HOLDEN of some sort... you know, an Australia owned car company?

Holdens can't make bullet and bomb proof cars. BMW make them on the production line in small runs.

 

[soc123_au]

General Motors is American. Holden don't have anything in the range that is suitable. For them to develop a bullet & bomb proof Calais or Clubby for one wouldn't be appropriate for the office & would cost a shitload more than the 7 series.

What do you drive BF? I recall a Jap car mentioned in another thread.

rubbish...

here's proof that holden make bomb proof cars - this holden has just had a bomb let off nearby - you can still see the smoke from the blast..

given it's a family car, it means that the young kids inside the car are now safe from any danger..

quite clearly an educated driver here, selecting such a safe car and being able to stay out of harms way..

 

[muzby]

and even the old holden astras seem to have been built with a bullet resistant coating..

 

[Twizzle]

Abbott needs a bullet proof rig. Its not the terrorists that he needs protection from, its his constituents.

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

I don't think bullets are what he needs to worry about in Manly. Maybe a stab proof vest from an errant surf board...

 

[Twizzle]

I can arrange that, just need him to drop in on me

I drive a Toyota Aurion... which I bought from Toyota Australia. Now, I'm not the PM of this country, but if I was, I wouldn't go around buying a BMW.

I would like to know why Abbott wants a bomb-proof holden? John Howard simply got around in a 3-tonne bullet-proof Caprice. Why does Abbott insist on being protected from bombs? It's not the US here. Security here in and around the PM is pretty good.
