Couldn't agree more. It's almost as though there is censorship of subversive views, or arguments which diverge from the lecturer/tutor's agenda. In one particular tutorial I had a heated verbal debate with the tutor (an expressly open marxist) who was attempting to undermine my argument...

Dissolution?

I think Peter Debnam would challenge Swan.. now that's saying something..

The summit produced no new ideas or contribution to debate whatsoever. Dissenting views were suppressed, and it merely acted as a mechanism to reinforce the government's agenda. The initial report handed to Rudd is little more than waffle and superfluous text with little substance whatsoever...

I highly doubt that the party will take any form of action..

When the delegates on governance were asked about support for a future republic, there was one lonesome dissenter among the crowd (surprise surprise). The response from the majority; laughter. If that is the type of attitude that this summit is promoting to alternative ideas and freedom of...

It is nothing more than a PR exercise designed to reflect favourably upon the government. As Banco said, how will 1000 people gathered at a convention for a weekend, make any significant impact upon policy development or in communicating issues and ideologies that we are not aware of...

A terrific choice. A talented, exemplar in so many ways. As a New South Welshman, Marie Bashir would have been preferred, but if there was any possible person who could match her dignity and personal qualities it is Mrs Bryce..

Whether or not its furthered their cause is a bit more ambiguous..

Surely there are more effective avenues that the protesters could pursue. Disrupting any aspect of the Olympic Games will not rouse any support from those who are not already attached to the cause.. As a clear outsider, I know little about the quest for Tibetan independence . Perhaps the...

It is clearly a last resort. What Magistrate is going to impose a custodial sentence on the parents of a habitual truant, when there is a reluctance to do so even with much more serious offenders? Yes, it provides an option, however I doubt I'll see it used in my lifetime.

Well the election has well and truly past us, and with it, I assumed so too, would the empty rhetoric and soundbites that Rudd and Swan endlessly gorged the media with throughout the campaign. Ah but, to no avail.. The continual use of the 'working family' in respect of those being 'hit...

AWA's were a non-issue until the implementation of workchoices. It seems that Labor has merely used the changes imposed on AWA's under the Workchoices legislation as the mechanism to revert the system to a state similar to that prior to the 1996 legislation. Whilst I am in no doubt that...

TJF.. learn it..

As others have said, introduce measures which make it more difficult to obtain youth focused welfare. i.e. requirements to participate in programs etc True to some degree, however it makes no sense in my opinion keeping those students at school who have little interest and could be more...

Its interesting. The only student in the article who expressed a view remotely close to reality was the student from Sydney Secondary College; a coed, comprehensive, publicly funded school. I see no compelling reason why we should keep students at school beyond year 10 if they are...

From my understanding and interpretation of the Evidence Act, the concept of arrest is not merely confined to the black letter idea of communicating 'you are are under arrest'.. The very fact that he was charged with an offence clearly shows that at some point, the officers were under the...

It seems unusual that the AFP would commit such a serious oversight.

Akerman merely balances the weekend publications of the likes of Mike Carlton, Alan Ramsay or David Marr..
