Probably because it is a NSW institution.

It was pretty obvious when she couldn't actually tell the reporter where it happened. "Umm.. like over there".. "Where the police cars are"..

Because I should like to think of ourselves as compassionate beings, above other species, that recognise the inherent value of human life. It is this distinction which separates us from the neanderthal. I disagree with your conception of rights. Rights are there to protect the general...

Opposed. Torture is unacceptable both as a means of punishment, and on utilitarian grounds (i.e. the extraction of information) There is no well founded justification in my opinion. The maintenance of human dignity is of far greater importance to the strength of society. This requires the...

He wasn't the judge, he was the QC. A stalwart of Australian Film and Television. Bert was never as good on Twenty to One.

Four corners is the epitome of investigative journalism. Just look at the Phuong Ngo story. Johns has been made a scapegoat for the actions of a promiscuous woman. Trial by media at its worst. We have a man condemned and a career destroyed, from the mere words of another. No evidence of what...

I'm tired of hearing the false dichotomy of Rudd's Stimulus Package vs Doing Nothing. The government has somehow tried to claim that they have saved 200,000 jobs by doing the the former as oppose to the latter. Laurie Oakes gleefully jumped on board that piece of spin.

Once upon a time, couples had to plan to have a child. It was a responsibility. It seems to have evolved into a right. There has been a shift of this responsibility onto government to cater for the apparent 'need' for a female to bear a child. Childcare, maternity leave, child support payments...

Rudd stimulus a disaster, says Costa | smh.com.au Also, where did the 'Buck stops with me' phrase disappear to?

How enlightening. Indeed, there was no global recession during the reign of the previous government. But to say that there were 'no difficult economic circumstances' is ignorant at best. The two notable issues were of course the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis and the economic implications of the...

Hmm.. Most believe it is merely an aberration. In any event, we'll find out next month. On a side note, how good is this government? Where would we be without their steady hand in these times of economic uncertainty?

Re: Should mental abuse be policed as aggressively, if not moreso, than physical abus Oh look. What's that over there? Oh that's right, it's the too hard basket..

Re: Australia is to announce $73bn in defence spending aimed at equipping its militar It's all part of Rudd's quest to be a Prime Minster who will be remembered for his vision and policy largesse. Unfortunately, it seems to be occurring at the cost of economic responsibility. Any issues of...

I fail to see how it would protect young persons from older sexual predators. Learn to read the whole article. Not just the catchlines.

I wouldn't have thought that those who have sex with underage children would really consider the need to wear condoms.

Many are criticising the short terminism of stimulus packages provided to date. Particularly, as it is likely further stimulation is going to be included in the May budget. If we were to have the opportunity again, in the spirit of the DIY budget, what type of stimulus package would you...

No. DNA like other forms of forensic procedures are not perfect. There would be a greater capacity to fabricate evidence if it was known every individual had DNA stored on a database. There are methods that are legislated in which investigators can obtain DNA from suspects via court orders and...

Or they thought that Rudd was the Chinese President...

Sure, inexperience is a corollary to over-representation. That doesn't reduce my argument with regards to brain development. It just highlights inexperience as one factor amongst others.
