Here are the PDFs for socio-legal junior units: SLSS1001 Introduction to Socio-Legal Studies SLSS1003 Law and Contemporary Society Can't find any global studies ones, but if you email the degree director they might send them to you.

I don't use a diary for uni, can't be bothered. I just use Google Calendar to mark my essay due dates and that's all I need.

Ugh, Julie Bishop. The Maoists are coming!

Howard has been quickly turfed out of the official prime ministerial website.

The new Senate will (probably) be: 37 Coalition 1 Family First 1 Nick Xenophon 5 Greens 32 Labor So if the Coalition opposes a piece of legislation, Labor will need the Greens, Xenophon and Family First to pass it.

So apparently Australia's new prime minister is Paul Rudd.

Here's a state-by-state breakdown of today's 52-48 Newspoll. Some of those figures (WA especially) look extremely dodgy, but who knows. I could be proven wrong.

Basically, yeah. Apparently tomorrow's ACNielsen will be 55-45.
