    Push to Give TAFE Students HECS Loans

    Again, installments. You can pay by semester, for the ACT CIV example you give well halve that and you've got a 200 dollar upfront payment. Which is less than what many uni students payed under USU. The costs for equipment are not that high either, alot is provided on campus, the stuff you're...

    Push to Give TAFE Students HECS Loans

    This is the problem with your argument; introducing HECS doesn't reduce the upfront cost. Anyone receiving any government benefits can take one of the majority of TAFE courses for free each year. You also automatically become eligible to receive these benefits once you become a full time TAFE...

    Push to Give TAFE Students HECS Loans

    The market is dictating supply and demand for TAFE courses at present - there is simply not enough student demand (though more than sufficient industry interest) to maintain a high level of education at present. The introduction of HECS will not change that trend. It may become advisable to...

    "HIV Patients Not Welcome in Australia" John Howard

    Someone who is unhealthy in the more generic sense may or may not contribute direct to the economy (and being ill does not prevent one from doing so) however they may contribute in other ways; socially, culturally or what have you and as our country is not a purely economic agency and thus we...

    Push to Give TAFE Students HECS Loans

    Would it not be better to introduce more money directly into the TAFE system? If only because recently the government has been massively reducing the funds they put into the institution which has so far resulted in; massive cutbacks on important courses, reduced amounts of places, less permanent...

    oral / fingering and STDs

    Thing is Serius, someone's ethnicity, sexual orientation or otherwise, does not determine whether someone has STD/STIs or not. Much like WAF said; correlation and not causation. Also, using statistics in that way demonstrates poor judgement - statistics are designed to create a model of...

    Crime fic = detective fic?

    No, detectives are a common feature of crime feature but are not a requisite, neither is murder. Missing persons, kidnapping, bank heists and rapes for example, still function in the world of crime fiction just as well as murder. Also, ruling out a text that has elements of existentialism...

    General UTS chit-chat

    Re: The UTS 'Secks and ?' Thread NSW Institute of Technology = TAFE back in the day. NSW Institute of Tech also was UNSW + UTS + Ultimo TAFE. Look up the TAFE site for the other half of the history. :) You might be getting confused with the NSW University Institute of Technology, which split...

    General UTS chit-chat

    Re: The UTS 'Secks and ?' Thread No it wasn't. It used to be the main TAFE campus when UTS, UNSW and Ultimo TAFE were the same institution - UNSW left in the late 1950s into its Randwick and Wollongong campuses (later UOW), and UTS splintered off in '88, later absorbing Kuringai Teaching...

    What's your sexuality?

    I used to find it difficult to sympathise with the transgendered, but then I read this interesting post in NCAP which went something like this: Imagine you're a musician - its your passion, your art, it's what you trained for your entire life until its second nature. Then you wake up and...
