Thread: Scrap Value of Series III LWB

Centerlink?????
THEY ARE ****ED!!!!!
I missed a visit from a WA member on sunday,I called him back.
Many of you know Johnno,or HBWC,or the Hill Billy in the wheel chair.
He is a paraplegic due to a dirt bike accident as a teenager.
I told him all the hassles Deb was having with Centerlink,what he hit me up with left me gobsmacked.
Centerlink now see paraplegia is not a disability,in this age he can do normal work and are trying to remove his disability support pension and put him on Newstart
THE HAVE TO BE KIDDING
Johno has lots of wrist problems so now is having to add them to his disability to try and remain on the disability support pension.
ITS WRONG

Hello Andy,

While I did not mention any departmental names ....

There is a department whose reputation precedes them. The words "oh the humanity" do not seem to the fore of their vocabulary either.

Part of my mutual obligation commitment is fulfilled by my applying for jobs with them. I concentrate on making a particular effort to make it a genuine application. Yet for some strange reason I have not been successful in gaining a position with them.

Yes I have a twisted mind. What is the saying? "Keep your friends close and your .... "

Kind Regards

Obviously you want the minimum scrap value in this case.

Which would be the steel price minus transport and environmental levy.
Our local place says they will fine you $1000 if lead acid batteries are not removed.

However if you are actually taking a landrover to the scrap they would likely give you a "mixed metals" price for some of it.

That's a pretty cheeky Govt department! Whats that all about? I'd be tempted to say get lost...

Hello All,

As it turns out my approach of scrap metal value was pretty close to the Client Officer's definition of the worth of the house contents ... not "insured value or the replacement value. What would the Garage Sale value be?"

What is the value of an unrestored Land Rover Series III that is not registered or insured for the road? The equivalent of a garage sale in the vehicular world - the big common denominator ... "Hello Scrappy".

Much better to put down the scrappy price for each vehicle than The Castle inspired eBay prices of "Tell 'em they're dreamin'"

I thought you got the randomly selected detailed survey interview from the ABS.

No Aaron,

I was "randomly selected" for a "compulsory Review" by another federal mob.

You know - 1) being in the very middle of something and 2) It was part of a name for a TV show .... "you are the weakest ... Good Bye"

Kind Regards

Some of the best returns I get for scrap are lead acid batteries.

About 3 or 4 times a year I take an 8x5 trailer load of mixed scrap to the local place. Along with drink bottles (10c each). Usually come out $150 - $200 up. Nice pocket money.
