Wealth creation: Redistribution is great until you run out of other people's money! Besides though, a freer market that facilitates wealth creation will raise more government revenue and ultimately allow governments to spend on re-distributive measures without an increase in taxes. So in a...

IMO most claims of sexism/ misogyny in a Western country like our own are laughable, "Too many male protagonists in video games, you damn misogynists!. If you want to see real misogyny take a trip to parts of the middle east and Africa where women genuinely don't enjoy the liberties men do...

I brought the US up to highlight the fact that we can't benchmark the implications of a declined credit rating with the US situation: I have the reading comprehension of a goldfish? you clearly state that 'a cursory examination of who we share AAA status with (the UK for example) and who is a...

How are outcomes or payouts relevant to a discussion of the number of CLAIMS? We're talking about the amount of people who have claimed to be unfairly dismissed, not the outcomes succeeding their complaints. It comes down to this: Establishing a centralised framework for industrial relations...

Losing the AAA credit rating is a huge deal. For one, its indicative of Australia's capacity to meet it's foreign liabilities - if investors/ creditors think Australia is insolvent, a negative change to investor sentiment and thus foreign investment is inevitable. If investors think negatively...

There's been no social/ economic change that has led to the increase in unfair dismissal cases. It's the fact that FWA has radically changed the framework behind the legislation as well as the public perception of dismissal. If you fundamentally alter IR to a centralised system, it logically...

I've heard conflicting perspectives on this one! Some teachers recommend more analysis of the poetry/ biography of the Hughes/ Plath saga (in this case using RM related to Hughes) and others recommend more focus on the module/ developing ideas about 'conflicting perspectives'. (text is...

There's also an expectation that you're doing something DIFFERENT/ writing perceptively compared to everyone else, which can be enjoyable but is mostly pretty burdensome.

I'm hoping for 99+ with my subjects (all humanities) The doubt/ sense of uncertainty you experience with humanities subjects definitely sucks though. (except social science, business and eco are pretty objective)

lmao, cheating the system ftw. if one person was to get a 95+ in a class of 15, this pretty much guarantees everyone a mark of 80+ -> every subject -> 80 atar for no work (except for trying during externals)

If people don't perform externally and the internal gaps don't reflect external gaps, wouldn't it alarm bos?

there's gotta be a way bos regulates it though... I mean, what teacher doesn't want their students to attain higher marks? It only helps their image as a teacher...

the students are probably in on it... i.e. for business and economics, im first by 10+ marks, so long as my ranks are maintained, i don't care if second is closer to me (it would only help him and wouldn't hurt me)

apparently teachers at some selective schools do it, especially for really smart and small mx2 classes where most kids will perform externally

Do any teachers from your school change internal marks to lower the gaps? If so, what are the potential negatives of this? I'd assume if most teachers knew about how moderating works, they'd lower the gaps between first and last so that the marks are 100-99-98-97, etc. Is this dangerous...

how much time do you guys spend in essays talking about current economic events/ non theory stuff? I.e. examples that aren't necessarily tied directly to the syllabus

Do economics. I do both economics and pdhpe, and I can tell you now, if you engage enough and appreciate the content, economics is much more fulfilling and + it scales better. PDHPE, although it's easy and doesnt take much work (its all about memorization around exams and practicing short...

share your experience with what atar you've seen/ gotten with humanities/artsy/ highly subjective essayish subjects (proportionally, assuming students are reasonably good students) I.e. with a subject combination like this: EE2, modern, business, pdhpe, economics How hard, relatively...

I hope its something to do with individuality/ belonging to self

hey annie, E2 undergoes the same moderating process as all other subjects. same rules apply, if you're ranked 1 you'll get the highest external as your internal Finished your major work? only a week to go:|
