A) Stupid question. B) Present tense...? C) To hard to tell, I'm leaning towards 'yes' D*) No - stupidly is where the blame lies and an over reliance on the rule of market We survived the GFC with little pain compared to other nations. The pollies just like chest beat about it.

Hi there. I may be preaching to the converted but please remember that the major work is not content related at all, that you must discuss how the historian views differ and why this is so. My question was 'How have historians treated the concept of Sonderweg', with my two sub questions...

It's not really even how you explore the histo. debate, it's more how the historians you choose come to formulate their views, and what impact that has on the topic. The history ext course is not learning the historians views on the topic. For example... How has the academic context of...

Really? And what position do you hold within the party? If the task was to get the public switched on to the Labor message then they have done a fine job, although I fear it is the wrong message. Yes, because 49 and 51 are the same numbers. Also that's within the 3% margin of error... I estimate...

The actual usurp of the 'proper' process matters little - unless you genuinely care about the process, democracy in action and the integrity and transperancy of the Labor party. We're not new to politics, we're not niaeve and so we know that this is nothing really new. However this IS important...

Hey guys. Two questions: I was wondering what 'type' of students one would expect to find doing MHIS? I know MQU has an excellent reputation for ah (just look at prof kanawati) but what of modern? I do hope that syd uni has not managed to draw in all the history students!

It won't be forgotten. Abbott will tie it into his 'you can't trust this pm' line. Also, when the actual selection takes places it'll get some air time. I personally think that Crossin will get the top spot on the ticket - if that happens it will "end in tears", not just for Nova but for Gillard...

A compliment from Lentern! I should be so lucky!

It does indeed matter - a great deal. 1) In the last half of the year Gillard was gaining momentum. They were starting to more clearly articulate their narrative and achievements. They were testing out their language for the election year and it sounded good. The rogue Newspoll which showed...

Gee, what did I do to deserve that...? Forget the niceties, eh?

The Nova Peris decision. Begin.

Yellow card for length Lentern :)

Hi guys. So far I've followed -may-cat-'s (excellent) guide up to step 2: I've accepted my offer, submitted my HECs form and have booked in the various advisory/enrolment days for late in feb. I intend to follow mycats suggestion on completing the proposed program of study and time table...

Do you read Mumble, Lentern?

You have shown ignorance in believing that the decision to go back to the Pacific Solution by the Labor Government was not one of political necessity. By Good Politics I do not mean creating good public policy, I mean being politically aggressive, astute and competent at the expense of good...

I feel a pang of sorrow for you - you still cling onto some twisted form of optimism for our poltical process. Your ignorance is astounding. Sorry to break the bubble son but 'good politics' rules the day in both parties, and that does mean there are cases where political necessity will dictate...

Forgive me, but what is so funny?

Hang on there bud, the Labor govt removed the 'Pacific Solution' and only reinstated it due to political necessity after the Libs wedged Labor. They flip flopped. Would you extend your thanks to the Howard Govt in this policy area? Also, lets be careful with our language: refugees are not...

Nothing. They're going to loose the seat due too, as your correctly pointed out, the flow of preferences. Ironic, it was because of Green prefs that Labor got over the line in the 2010 election... Ohh well, that's politics.

Mid way through 2012 Joe Hockey said that the Party would 'flick the switch', it was then that policy's would be announced and the real game begins. We all know its coming. So what do you guys think will be some major policy platforms? How will they tie it in to their "Hope Reward...
