I never said it was new. I said that this government was the biggest offender. Howard has gradually stripped the legal system of accountability measures that safeguard not only democratic principles and conventions, but individual rights and freedoms. From an administrative law perspective, this...

This is disgraceful stuff, really. I don't think any other Australian government has shown so much contempt for democratic accountability and constitutional convention than this one. So much for responsible government. Yes, the reports produced by the committees are not often heeded, but that...

For problem questions: 1. Go through the facts at least twice, and highlight and note down the issues as they come to you. 2. Always remember to point out alternative routes -- "In the alternative, should the court not find X...". 3. Leave no principle without an authority -- and a good...

Peter Singer Viggo Mortensen Oscar Wilde (or if he's unavailable, Mark Twain) Justice Kirby Kristin Kreuk (likewise, my own purposes :)) Limiting it to 5 is really hard!

1. A commerce degree will not guarantee you a higher salary than a law degree. 2. I didn't delete your posts earlier :)

lol she's not just white. She's part-African and part-Venezuelan -- of course she's tanned!

I would strongly advise anyone not to do what is suggested above without contacting UNSW themselves to confirm these matters.

lol we can get into a debate about aesthetics if you like, but you'll lose. As for Jolie, I feel the same. I like my women girly and feminine. She doesn't do it for me.

Well Ruddock did say so, just not explicitely: It doesn't matter what they called it. They can call it a "spiritual bond of magical divinity" for all it matters -- the court looks to the substance of what the section actually does. It is debatable, but the odds are clearly with the government...

My thoughts exactly.

What is it with all these non-law randoms coming in and complaining about the nature of our discussions? It's a law forum folks!
