    Liberal control of the Senate

    Howard's alway's had his eye on IR. True, he may not have stated anything publicly but history shows that he favours 'labour market flexibility' and 'deregulation' (or as I see it re-regulation). As a sidenote, if you look at Hewson (his predecessor) IR policy, you'll find there are many...

    Semester 2 Results

    Wait until the lecturer or tutor replies. If they don't or you're really anxious, call up the school office to see what's happening. It's not easy to change the grade* but it won't appear instantly on my.unsw. The lecturer has to put in an application form to change the grade. I was in a...

    Update me on VSU

    I tried to read all your posts although i admit i skimmed through it mainly due to their length. The main message i was getting from them was that there are other opportunities to participate in sport outside of university and that people join sport for other reasons other than to combat the...

    The official IR reform thread!

    Well i'm no labour market economist but it might (not saying it will for certain) provide incentive for lesser skilled workers to up skill. On a side note, the union movement should use this opportunity to attract new members provided they can move with the times and start offering relevant...

    Update me on VSU

    Well unless someone can show a study which provides evidence for causation then this issue is going to go round and round in circles. Yes students may not see the point in providing funding for sporting clubs but isn't it better to have a variety of methods to combat obesity? (rhetorical...

    Racism in Australia

    In response to the original question that was asked prior to it being changed, well it's been a long time since i've felt discrimminated/prejudice against. However, there are times that i've felt stereotyped. Moving on, something that's been annoying me about this thread is all this...

    Push for Graduate School Universities

    Well well, i was wondering how long it would take someone to bring up this issue. Anyway, here are some articles published in The Age (online) last week concerning the University of Melbourne and its strategic plan. Top Uni to adopt US system Hall of learning prepare to sacrifice...

    The official IR reform thread!

    Read the Gittens article. Do u really think it's even handed? Seemed to be more critical of the reforms if anything. I know it's difficult to find evidence to support the govt's view but surely there are some benefits to the reforms.

    Bush's Creationism in schools remarks

    What i may see as being 'real', other's may dismiss it as having faith in something. People might wish to prove a particular aspect of their faith to answer critics who dimiss claims made. e.g claims such as experiecing the presence of a spirit, seeing something that was unexplainable...

    Bush's Creationism in schools remarks

    Ok Sasha with that comment you made and likewise MLS with that statement, what if you can't produce physical proof but there are other people who have encountered the same experience either in the presence of your company or without? Like for example, say if Person A saw an alien and Person B...

    Out of curiosity, has anyone here had experience in bargaining for certain working conditions or any above the award entitlements?

    Scaling of ACCT2542 marks?

    Email the lecturer in charge and see if you can get an answer. And for those of you who hate accounting well the simple thing is not to do it! :)

    Uni Advice - Which Law School?

    It's probably a good thing you don't do comm/law. There's a lot of cbs/christian students in commerce. Not sure if it's more or less than law but there's a lot.

    The Professional Elite

    With the Japanese language, they usually substitute 'L' for 'R' because there's no 'L' in their alphabet systems.
