    They may have but 1) the press council isn't able to order content removed 2) just because it is in the code of conduct doesn't mean it should be

    If the uni wants to control content then they should fund the paper themselves and not run elections for the editors. Otherwise they shouldn't censor them. After all, it's the students who will bear the ultimate responsibility if somebody was going to come along an sue them or whatever.

    ANU isn't private though, it's a public university

    So a paper funded and run by students at an institution funded by public money which is located on what was public land and which was established by an act of parliament isn't in the public arena? OK.

    Well, not quite, ANU is funded by government. The rest of the money comes from students. (Well most d it anyway).

    Ok so then i guess you agree that the government can set down laws which say what newspapers are and aren't allowed to publish and that that isn't an infringement of free speech?

    Yes but the difference between you and me is that despite what views people have I still believe every human is entitled to some basic dignity from his fellow man. More importantly I believe people should be judged as individuals not as a homogenous creed to be vilified and abused by small...

    Sex Selection: Yes, No or Maybe?

    Are you dense or something? You're a man yes? I presume you will want to have sex at least once in your life? Imagine no matter how hard you try, no female wants to have sex with you because there's plenty of other men to choose from. Do you not think that that might upset you a bit? Or if it...

    No you have the poor reading skills as I never said that the university was solely to blame to the exclusion of all others. I said they bore THE MOST responsibility, but not all of it. If some stupid interest group gets the government to introduce a law that I disagree with I believe the...

    I'll assume ANU works like USYD (correct me if I'm wrong) here, that would mean that the editors are elected by the students and the paper is funded by student amenities fee. So in fact the editors have been democratically chosen by the students to represent them. The vice chancellor should butt...

    Sex Selection: Yes, No or Maybe?

    His point is that nature usually does things for a reason. In fact nature is SO smart that it makes 1~05 boys for every 100 girls to compensate for the fact that women live longer. If you get too many men then they are going I start competing for women to replace with, this will inevitably...

    Yes except the vice-chancellor isn't the editor

    Sex Selection: Yes, No or Maybe?

    Yeah the woman in the second article worries me a bit, does it mean that children 2 through 7 were only really attempts to get girls and not actually wanted for the sake of having children. How much should your own wants and needs factor into those of your children.

    Sex Selection: Yes, No or Maybe?

    Myself, I think sex selection is only okay if it's to avoid passing on a serious medical condition that only effects one sex
