    2007 NSW State Elections- So Why Did Peter Debnam Lose?

    Oh yeah. Last month's elections reminded me of the 2004 federal elections, in my opinion. Peter Debnam is like Mark Latham in some ways. -during campaigns, they were both accused of being poor handlers of the economy. -they were relatively new when they were opposition leaders at the...

    Effects of an Entirely Labor Australia?

    Yeh, this argument is in one of my economics textbooks. The guys are called David Card and Alan Krueger and they're from California. They've been quite criticised for supporting the living wage because it causes inflation (due to increased demand).

    Effects of an Entirely Labor Australia?

    Well, if you were an employer, you would choose people who are as skilled and as experienced as possible so not to spend time and money training new employees. Employers will just be more conscious. That's all. If wages were really low, you wouldn't care as much who you would employ...

    Effects of an Entirely Labor Australia?

    There's only one person who feels that China is starting to become the biggest economy. I once read about a guy who argued that minimum wages and other government-controlled workplace settings actually IMPROVES efficiency, productivity and employment rates. Not sure if these are right but...

    The World of Pick-Up Line

    Some of them off the top of my head. I'm sorry if I do happen to repeat the previously mentioned ones. -"Are you free tonight?....or will it cost me?" -"I know what's good on you.... Me!" -"I'll cook you dinner if you cook me breakfast" (think about this one) -"Hey, I'm invisible"...

    2007 NSW State Elections- So Why Did Peter Debnam Lose?

    LOL Here are my reasons. -Labor did over-advertise and over-campaign if you compare it to Peter Debnam. -IR laws. He wasn't really bright for saying that he will hand IR powers to John Howard at a time when 2/3rds of Australians opposed it. (according to the polls)

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

    I always thought that the main reason why union membership is lowering is because of the changing workforce- decline in manufacturing/ blue-collar jobs. That's the exact place where unions were built on. I didn't know that unions have a bad political side to it. Sweets workers 'made to...

    The Australians Against Further Immigration Party

    Nah, Australia First is the dumbest, mate. What the hell does ALP have to do with racism? A lot of ALP MPs come from very multicultural electorates. I mean multicultural as in: 1. High rates of foreign-born people 2. High rates of non-English speakers. There's always been racism in this...

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

    But the unions still stand up for workers' rights. OK you may say that they came from the industrial revolution days in England. There were definitely peaks during the war years due to growing industries. These days, they still support those who are part of the working-class. Oh...

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

    Labour Party- Are we talking British politics here? I don't think Labor (without the 'u' and with the capital 'L') is that far left like the communists. Surely, they are left but not that much. All from my tiny little pea brain....

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

    "Disappointed Howard says IR was not a factor" Not at all surprised. Liberals say it wasn't, Labor say it was. It's good to see a brand new start for the Labor party.

    Dear god, put your phones on silent.

    Lecturers are allowed to "throw" people out, aren't they? Usually lecturers want to publicly embarass those with disrupting phones. At least in my case, it is.

    I thought that the Democrats were predicted to get one. When can we get finalised results?
