Another angle to the IR reform debate http://radar.smh.com.au/archives/2005/06/strike_out.html

Never heard about the $15 payment before but i hope it's true!

Even Accounting?

Agreed. It does reflect social changes but also the economic and structural changes which have taken place (ironically initiated by labor) e.g decline in primary sector, growth in services sector of the economy. And also increasing social mobility where ppl from less advantaged backgrounds are...

Fair enough. But after talking to ppl i know who work in industrial relations, even they've told me they're uncertain as to the outcomes once changes take place. Even they're only speculating as to what will happen

Well that's a matter of personality differences. A bit of criticism is good but I just don't see the point of constant criticism over an isssue/topic if there aren't any suggestions offered. As to the fact that he no longer represents them, well there's a reason why he formerly aligned...

I haven't read the book but i think it's coming out tomorrow. From what i've heard so far, most of the comments about the book relate to Latham critising the Labour party as e.g "being a spent force", problems with leadership. It would just seem better to be constructive in his criticism...

I think it was Medicare Gold That comment goes two ways. Yes the Liberal party can be seen as "sucking up to everyone for the last decade", however, public have been suckers (for lack of a better word). The public are more attune to their own needs instead of the needs for the future (long...

From what is known about the book so far, it's not going to do anything beneficial for the Labor party. It seems rather confusing that a person who believes/ed in Labor would publish something that would do more harm than good. It seems it will only contribute to the weak image that the...

Hmmm.... it's a bit dangerous to speculate though? No one knows exactly what the effects will be yet. You could start the debate up on a certain aspect e.g penalty rates but the changes which come in may not impact them. That's just an example.

hey spin spin, in your IR course, did your lecturers and tutors talk much about the proposed reforms?

For anyone who's interested there's going to be an online forum with guest pannellists at 9:30. www.abc.net.au/4corners Click on the forum section

InfinteQ are you on a cadetship or is your work with EY on a part-time basis? (not under the cadet program)

oh sorry, i think i was meant to hit reply to Minai's post but accidently hit reply to your one. :o

Had my last exam today. It's a relief. Unfortunately, all my friends are still on exams.

hahaha, survivor i didn't actually say i went to those lectures, just mentioned the hrs involved. Gosh, last yr i remember my mondays had 4hrs worth of stats. I ended up skipping the psych method/stats lects becuase i wanted a break between classes.

I thought there was a rule about the min amount of time it takes a student to graduate? I recall reading somewhere that you're not allowed to graduate below the minimum time specified e..g B Commerce. Min time is 3 yrs. You can't get overload in order to graduate in 2.5 yrs

Yeh there are some other psych geneds out there. Not sure how many contact hrs they are. Psych 1a and 1b are definately interesting so perhaps u could check out a few lects if ur curious to know what its about

Thanks!! =). But i don't have any exams for my arts subjects this sem! Just major assignments i handed in during sem and ongoing quizzes on webct! I love those online quizzes, i just sit in front of the comp with the text book in front of me and look (or calculate ) answers. Yeh i know...

Yeh languages take up a lot of time. I THINK it's about 6 contact hours p/wk if done during session? Not sure but i'm guessing ppl would be doing it with normal ppl enrolled in those courses as part of their degree or as an elective
