Children's IR kit 'Labor propaganda' Yes, I do find it funny what the unions are doing here. I understand that the unions are trying to help the Labor win the support from high-school students. I don't know what the unions' viewpoint is but I think that they feel that students are quite...

I think that Kevin Rudd's a great person- a man who's really got the qualities of a leader to lead this country. Both of you will just have to wait patiently till later this year. :) On the note of this "small nation", I believe that, due to population size, Australia is a small country...

Re: Breaking news: Paris Hilton back in Jail. I agree. There's TOO much coverage on Paris Hilton overall. She's a bit overrated. I certainly don't care much about her whether or not she's rich and famous. Speeding, drink driving, reckless driving etc. If she is punished and sent to jail...

There has always been a threat of terrorism and the west has been a target for decades not years. I'd say that Iraq war has increased the threat of terrorism due to the fact that these extremists feel that America is giving itself a bad name. By the way, in my opinion, many terrorists hold...

To the two posters above- I also find opinion polls annoying at times. They give either false hope or false alarms and as far as I'm concerned- false predictions. "Will Australians be better served by wall-to-wall Labor governments?"- John Howard...

With the ratio I gave, it's obviously a 2 Party-Preferred poll. Some sources say that Labor was ahead on 60/40. Also, looking at the 2nd table, it looks like that those Labor-supporters are Labor supporters because they want to 'give Kev a go'.

Oh yeah that one. That's funny. Galaxy poll has showed that Rudd's popularity has slipped to 54:46 on the opinion polls. Why is it that all of a sudden John Howard wants to take drastic actions on climate change?

That was an idea of the former immigration minister, Amanda Vanstone - to learn an Asian language if you're at school because we're 'part' of Asia. 'Learn an Asian language or flunk school: Vanstone'...

I didn't really think of that when I created this thread. I think about 10-15% (from memory) study a language for HSC.

He had too much time on his hands.

Critiques? Year 7 and 8 is enough isn't it? 10% bonus is pretty big as someone pointed out and that 'reward' is too much.

Uni plan to stem language "crisis" Sounds good. I thought that languages were compulsory for year 7 and 8 students. I guess that they don't see it as 'good enough'. I can understand why such a plan was devised in the first place.

No, I was suggesting that Howard has economic growth to pride himself on. Sorry. It was either me contradicting myself or me not giving a good valid explanation. I apologise. By the way, both sides are putting up a very strong challenge in my view.

I think atilla89 meant 'defend' the right to vote. I don't know what is really meant. Just ask him to clarify it.

I'm very impressed by both major parties at the moment. It'd be really difficult to spell out the flaws of each party. This ain't like the state elections where I found that neither of the both parties were up to a good standard. In my opinion, John Howard is a bit egocentric and that today's...

I think that it's unfair that someone caught with exceeding the speed limit by 1km/h gets the same punishment as someone who is 15 over.

Remember Tampa and the Children Overboard Affair? John Howard infamously said something like "we decide who comes in to this country and their circumstances...."

Re: Semester I 2007 - Chatter Thread! Why are there no far-rights at uni of Sydney?

And for women??
