Re: Could an underaged child who sends naked pictures of themselves be charged with c I believe that would be considered accessing via a carriage service. In fact, if a 13 year old male were to entice a 13 year old female to strip off their clothes, via msn or similar, can be dealt with via...

Re: Could an underaged child who sends naked pictures of themselves be charged with c Only if it's via or for the use of a carriage service. Additionally, there has to be proof of the actual access to specific material. Merely possessing an image on your hard drive (for your own purposes)...

Re: Could an underaged child who sends naked pictures of themselves be charged with c Commonwealth legislation deals with child pornography more specifically in the context of the internet. The age within the Criminal Code Act 1995 is 18, as oppose to 16 in NSW legislation. Additionally...

Of course our strong fiscal position is due to the policies of the current government...

Or possibly it was strategy to shift taxation to expenditure, so as to reduce the disincentive to earn. A tax to allow 'true Australians' to reach their earning potential and not be penalised by government for doing so. I think you need to compare the taxation systems and scales under Howard...

Aren't the Liberal Party supposed to be the 'conservative' side of politics? The Coalition can take much of the credit for ensuring stringent regulation and oversight of the financial sector.

I'm yet to see them doing anything of worth.

In fact the French arrived three days after the First Fleet. Mind you, the French probably would have lost any conflict with the natives if they had've arrived first..

Re: Fuckin' bikies! The bill passed the Upper House last night. http://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/prod/parlment/nswbills.nsf/0/383d6b6a0233c80dca25758c0000d70b/$FILE/crimes.pdf

Generally when an intoxicated person driver causes death of another, the relevant offence is S.52 of the Crimes Act. This and its predecessor, Culpable Driving, were introduced as juries were often reluctant to convict offenders of murder or manslaughter.

I think we enter dangerous territory if we too readily erode the discretion of the judiciary. Whilst I think that there should be mandatory minimum sentences for more serious offences, these designated terms should remain at a point where the judiciary still possess the capacity to extend the...

From what I understand, she was being serious. Most of what she writes is true. However, that huge glass house that the media live in becomes relevant once again..

Re: Fuckin' bikies! Legalisation would obviously have some effect, not only on OMCG's, but on organised crime in general. I don't think it's as simple as that thought. The problem is that the core of their belief is societal power. The idea of being the fringe of society, the 1%. These...

The thread is probably the wrong section. Employment would be more appropriate. As stated, don't get a criminal record. Perhaps utilise some initiative and go to www.police.nsw.gov.au There is sufficient information there. If you feel disinclined to undertake 12-36 months of study/training...

Indeed. 16% of the population rely on welfare as their main source of income. Still a relatively low number if you ask me when one considers the context. A comparison to what existed 40 years ago is futile. The composition of the labour market was vastly different, as was the composition of...

The welfare system is far too lenient. In reality though, what choice do we have? There is only a small percentage of the population who rely solely on social security for subsistence. Without it, we are condemning society to a world of far greater problems.

I think that universities offer to many courses in too many irrelevant fields, which could be adequately satisfied by majoring in a specific subject within a general degree. I mean, you can go through the list of courses available and the only thing that isn't on there is a Bachelor of How to...

RSA is the issue. Not closing times.
