    I did revenge tragedy. i thought the essay question was fairly easy- revenge tragedy basically is the pursuit of justice after having been wronged and then grief (either causing the revenge or grief at the end at the destruction). my story though....woah did some weird story where a guy had...

    2007 Federal Election - Coalition or Labor/Howard or Rudd?

    supposedly with the money spent on broadband, it will eventually lead to income flowing back into the future fund. am yet to see how that works-only heard it briefly on the news. hope the baby boomers have enjoyed their lot, because with the fuck all funding for aged care, they sure as hell...

    2007 Federal Election - Coalition or Labor/Howard or Rudd?

    Sure the opinions polls are nice but Labor are still going to struggle to get the 17 seats to form government in their own right. Howard may have lost his touch a little, but there's still a long way to go. One lesson we've all learnt: never write off Howard

    2007 State Election - Labor or the Coalition/Iemma or Debnam?

    2007 State Election - Labor or the Coalition/Iemma or Debnam?

    Let's get a few things sorted 1. Yes, Labor has done barely anything good considering they have been in power for 12 years (except maybe the olympics. how they got thru that I will never know). Let's move beyond this fact 2. The Opposition has barely provided a decent alternative in 12...

    2007 Federal Election - Coalition or Labor/Howard or Rudd?

    I agree. I seem to recall some fairly laclustre policies from the coalition while Hawke/Keatin were in power, none of which were any better than some of Labor's stellar efforts such as Medicare Gold etc I wouldn't say that in 1996 all Ministers were performing abismally or below par. People...

    2007 Economics Marathon

    Australia has experienced persistently large current account deficits since the mid 1980's. Each year, Australia has paid out considerably more for goods and services and other income and transfer payments than it has received. The best measure of the CAD is as a proportion of GDP. The CAD...

    which uni?

    I too want to do Law and would love to go to USYD but doubt I'll get the UAI lol. My preference is to do Communications (Journalism)/Law, and for that reason, I rule out my home Uni Newy because I have heard that : "nothing good comes out of Communications at Newcastle". I like UTS so maybe...

    Five Muslim radical clerics Banned from speaking to Media

    I'm cynical about how late this ban has come. considering the comments made by al hilaly were some months ago, i think the LMA is just making a show of doing something. But you really can't stop them. look at what hilaly said when he was egypt. Some of the blame has to go to the media...

    Who has more credibility?

    Paul Keating made a very good point the other day when he said this: and in terms of honesty, I would believe Rudd over Howard any day. Neither is perfectly honest but Howards track record on changing his position (such as climate change and david hicks) and being either unaware or...
