    Centrelink - qualifying as independent?

    Lol Centrelink wont be lenient but you can be dodgy.... just get a neigbour/friend whatever to say you've done 3 days work for them or something and if you need to show Centrelink proof beforehand get some money out, give it to whoever it is you 'worked' for and get them to put it back in your...

    Managing clashes

    Just have to do the best you can mate... hopefully one of the clash subjects will record lectures and make them available either through Webct or through the Library. Best way to deal with a clash as I found last year when I had one was to make sure that you keep up with the work and if they...

    How Far Would You Go...?

    Lie to protect them? Yes Lie to help them for their own gain? Yes Lie to an authorative figure? Yes Would you Lie for them in court (say if there was no chance of you being caught out) if they were innocent? Yes Lie for them in court (again, no chance of being found out) if you knew they...

    Youth allowance etc - all the different schemes out there available to us..

    I dont know which idiot at Centrelink told you that but its rubbish. The independent rate is Youth Allowance... eg there are two types Youth allowance for those that are dependent and Youth Allowance for those that are independent. If you cant get one you aint going to get the other! I wish you...

    Responding to telemarketers

    f**k they piss me off..... what bugs me is not so much them ringing up but when they ring up. They always manage to ring at dinner time when you are busy doing other things. I usually just either use an expletive linked with off and hang up.

    student allowance - get rid of it...

    the system is rubbish...... it fails to support those that really need the help to go to uni while supporting many people (through no fault of their own) that in no way need the same level of support. The means testing is all nice and well, but when it excludes those that really need the help...

    Eco vs Comm

    do both im doing Eco/Commerce majoring in Finance leaves a fair bit of scope while giving a good eco background. Finance though I expect would be best for doing investment banking in the future but someone else probably has a far better answer then I do to the question!

    London/Australia

    Rudd Vows Education Revolution

    Definetly would like to see some better support for students..... centrelink system is a joke. It should stay means tested but at a fair level as well with everything properly taken into account.

    Chemistry bridging course

    They are developed as such to teach the basics.... even if you didnt do that well at school with Chem if you have done it then you dont really need to do the bridging course as such. Unless of course you are really worried about your skills in it, but its more designed for those that have zero...

    P-Plate Restrictions

    I think that Defensive Driver courses really should be implemented.... as said before it doesnt stop drivers having accidents but it certainly does open your eyes esp when they stick you on the skidpan to just how easily things can go wrong. Its by no means a be all and end all to fix the...
