The moment this thread starts to rehash the debates of old is the moment that it will be closed. If it somehow manages to continue along the stated line, it will be closed on Tuesday. Generator.

Two more Labor MPs lose Victorian preselections Beazley tries to refocus on industrial relations 25 years... Generational change, anyone? Of course, the dominant factions (as they currently stand) would hardly seek to displace the one leader of the ALP is unlikely to ever go against the...

Wet behind the ears? He's essentially a political fop who can do nothing bar react. Yes, the Premier is but one person and it is the Government, not the Premier, that governs, but he is the public face of NSW (to say that he is the agenda setter may be taking it too far given the way in which he...

Re: Semester 1 Chatter It's far too hot. I'm starting to hate it.

I'm partial to Crean myself, Iron. Crean denies seeking factional deal Powerbroker blasts Crean, Gillard Labor infighting worsens The senior Ludwig actually thinks that Gillard doesne't deserve to be on Labor's frontbench in light of her recent comments. Now, surely this is a strange...

Unless you happen to be taking the same classes as frodo, you aren't going to get anything from the responses. If you'd like a proper answer, I suggest that you email the lecturers (or course coordinators) in question.

No other plans to change IR laws: PM Oh well, it looks like everyone will just have to be unhappy with the soon to be implemented reform package.

The Dems and the Greens are not social democrats. The Dems are essentially wet social liberals who tend to sit at the centre in economic/workplace terms. Yes, they may support the country's social democratic framework that is still in place (but for how long?), but this isn't because they are...

Minchin speaks - Minchin seeks 'new wave' of IR change Opposition says Govt going too far with IR Nick Minchin eager for further IR change

Conroy was one of those he singled out for quite a bit of criticism, too. Heh, it was kind of funny to hear Conroy refuse to address Crean's comments earlier today. Of course, it stands to reason that he would be unwilling to talk about the internal workings of the ALP in public when he is...

Crean's lesson for branch-stackers Crean targets Conroy after preselection win O'Connor calls for end to branch-stacking Gillard pushes Labor reform plan Beazley and his backers (Conroy in particular) now have a bit of a fight on their hands. Edit: Stating the obvious. Woo!

Re: Semester 1 Chatter I'm going to hate one of my units, but given that I have already bought the reader and that I really don't feel like learning about Museums... Oh well, I'll survive. Today I saw far too many EU stalls, the Union's various eateries are beyond a joke, the picture on my...

Australian Story - Julia Gillard Interview Transcript I'll have a read of the transcript tomorrow night. Crean wins Hotham preselection vote It's good to see that Mr Pakula has accepted the result, but it will be interesting to see what happens to Mr Crean now that he has 'defeated' those...

Ah, this may surprise you, but you don't need a degree in order to have a successful (and financially secure) life. I suggest that you take the time to explore all of your options, and that involves considering what you could do without a degree.

Have you considered dropping out of university all together?

Why should anyone be ashamed of the fact that they have accepted a helping hand from their parents? In what way are they any less of a person than someone who has 'struggled' to do it all on their own? Please, tell me, because I would love to know.

Pointless or not, it is a core unit.
