    Oh What a Sour Feeling - Toyota takes on Jetstar over 'jump' ads

    S 120 of the Trade Marks Act outlines what you need to prove infringement. IP law was a while ago, but I don't think this is going to be too successful? Is the Jetstar jump deceptively similar or substantially identical to the Toyota Jump? I don't think many people are going to think that...

    Kuringai/City

    City campus is best. Kuringai might as well be a high school full of north shore kids.

    AFP wrong about Haneef

    When it comes to terrorism I'm in favour of extended periods of investigation as occured in this case. Not months, but longer than normal is acceptable. Terrorism is different to established and more traditional crimes. While being centre lefty and civil libertarian of sorts I don't think...

    Can you just do straight law?

    Re: Can you just do vanilla law? You don't have to do gay law, you can do straight law if you like.

    Prince William for Governor-General of Australia?

    ha ha ha yeah Listening to those two obviously averagely intelligent boys ('you know' every 12 seconds) who have probably had everything handed to them on a platter doesn't make me feel great about monarchy. Didn't they teach those in line to the throne to speak properly?

    Is Greater Union George St using allocated seat system?

    Hardly anyone ever goes to the movies I go to, so you just sit anywhere. The last time I experienced a busy cinema was Jurassic park in 1992 with my dad.

    Federal Aboriginal intervention

    Many of the older solutions have failed because they made assumptions about ATSI people that were clearly wrong. While self determination and other accepted methods have generally worked with groups integrating into mainstream society, it hasn't worked for ATSI people. Personally I don't think...

    Federal Aboriginal intervention

    Yes Is there a porn problem in ATSI communities? Yes, but it kinda assumes that these troubled peoples will suddenly turn around from being welfare dependent to upstanding citizens who believe in personal responsibility. It assumes that money is a motivator for ATSI people (For many I believe...

    2007 Federal Election - Coalition or Labor/Howard or Rudd?

    Time will tell what his views are, when he gets out there as an MP. I don't really know much of his views, other than what the SMH has told me. If he is anywhere near as extreme as the SMH suggests I don't think the ALP will be too unhappy about him. They know that he has been quoted saying...

    2007 Federal Election - Coalition or Labor/Howard or Rudd?

    Really? Prove it. My point was that it is wrong to say that because union power is centralised and easily identifiable then it must therefore have a greater influence on the ALP than non centralised and not so easily identifiable big business on the Liberal party. Any suggestion that the...

    2007 Federal Election - Coalition or Labor/Howard or Rudd?

    I think you are drawing a hugely long bow to compare the modern Liberal 'broad church' (take a look at the NSW Liberals!) to the Menzies Liberal party. The Liberals are very much influenced by big business, something I don't see much wrong with. Any government, ALP or Lib, must court big...

    Kevin Rudd's Friend Deficiency

    Re: Kevin Rudd is a cunt with no friends... I never said anything like that. Please find me a post where I have said that 'nobody in Australia outside your insular group of friends likes John Howard'. I acknowledge that many people like/love John Howard as PM and that he is very popular all...

    Kevin Rudd's Friend Deficiency

    Re: Kevin Rudd is a cunt with no friends... Ya think John Howard is personally liked in the party room? The Party put him out to dry for 10 years and only went to him after Downer. He's only liked when his party members believe he will ensure that get to keep their seats.

    2007 Federal Election - Coalition or Labor/Howard or Rudd?

    Only the far left would try to link events in the manner. However I think it is deficient to deny that there is a perception (and hopefully perception doesn't glow into reality) that Australia is now a larger terrorist target than it was before the Iraq war. Only this morning I was on the bus...

    which car?

    um...The hatch and the sedan corolla have different interiors. All hatches have the flying buttress type console with the fancy handbrake, All sedans have the more traditional console. Upper models for both hatch and sedan have fancy optitron instruments. I find Honda's attitude to safety...

    which car?

    Well for about 20k I thought it looked ok. Dash architecture, in the hatch, is the same regardless of the trim level. The golf is a good car but it has its limitations.
