    Police respond to an 'animal liberation' protest...

    ... following a call for help from the protestors. Animal liberation protesters call police for help Heh an interesting twist. I'm with Beattie, too.

    Where do you keep your plates?

    Front - p-plater holder attached to the number plate. Rear - magnetic p-plate that is only on display when I am driving (to protect the paint from excessive and damaging scarring and to foil the plans of the bloody p-plate thieves who occasionally prowl the parking lots).

    Liberal or Labor? (or other)

    Yes, and its members are as independent as a Government-appointed Commissioners with fixed yet renewable terms can be.

    Exploitation or unemployment - what do you think?

    Because for some strange reason the right to bargain collectively is considered to be an affront to the individual and their right to choose :confused:.

    Liberal or Labor? (or other)

    ... Ah, no. I was referring to the many social democratic institutions that are/were in place within many nation-states (such as Australia), and it stands to reason that neoliberal states (or states that lean this way) will perform well when the measure of success is one that measures economic...

    Liberal or Labor? (or other)

    Nobody is denying that it's a powerful construction, but I take it that you have missed the way in which other economic systems have also provided us with much of what we take for granted? (with some of these things being slowly eroded by the rising tide of economic rationalism, funnily enough).

    Exploitation or unemployment - what do you think?

    You'd be an excellent politician, Malfoy - twisting everything to a degree that beggars belief is a true skill. The above post is pointless, because you have done nothing more than state an obvious truth that nobody would bother to contest. Thanks for implying that a number of people would, though.

    A national identity card

    From this morning - Federal Cabinet to discuss 'smart card' (the latter half of the piece details the concerns of a Liberal backbencher). From this afternoon (and following on from Rafy's post) - Cabinet approves smart card.

    Should we encourage secularity?

    Malfoy, you do realise that religious faith isn't the sole preserve of the Right? Many on the Left are just as devout as many on the Right, it's just that their interpretation of the text, religion and/or faith differs. By the same token, many on the Right are just as hostile towards religion as...

    Exploitation or unemployment - what do you think?

    Exploitation or unemployment: the 'choice' young people face Is this a reasonable representation of what many young people must now face in the workforce? What of the future given the effective removal of the awards system? What do you think? --- Edit (29/5/2006) A casual approach...

    Fair Use and Other Copyright Exceptions

    Attorney General's Department - Copyright - Review of Fair Use exceptions Of the three positions noted within the article (status quo, partial relaxation, complete overhaul), which one do you think represents the best way forward? Is it necessarily the most practical option?

    Does God exist?

    Ah, I'm afraid that you're the lazy one - you're the one providing the quote, so it is up to you to provide an interpretation.

    Does God exist?

    Yet at the same time a quote without elaboration is of no use within an academic context. If you are going to continue to post quotes without interpretation, please do not insult those who question your intentions.

    Does God exist?

    1. If you are going to counter a point, please do so in a constructive manner - pathetic and groundless insults and posts that fail to address the issue (in some way, at the very least) have no place within this forum. 2. genavania has a point - if you are going to provide a quote, you would be...

    Bullies take sticks and stones from playground to internet

    Much like the playground/whatever high school kids call it. I think that it's an issue within the social/non-school forums, and it's one that isn't really helped by the fact that the forum at large is frequented by people from varying age groups - some members seem to ignore this difference...
