The hecs repayment threshold isn't changing, so you'll have the same take home pay if this policy is implemented, up until the point your hecs is paid off fully (which will take somewhat longer). So unless you're waiting for your entire hecs debt to be paid off before accumulating a house...

Sounds like a gr8 policy, why should taxpayers subsidise hecs for accounting and engineering students? It's just part of the whole Australian culture of entitlement, the privileged always demanding more. Most of those students go on to have six figure salaries a few years after graduation, and...

or maybe he left his phone in a hotel room.

I guess what I would wanna say is to look on the bright side. First of all, nobody on the ground was killed. And by that I mean, an incident like this, over the open ocean? That right there, that's just gotta be some minor miracle. Plus, neither plane was full. You know, the 737 was, what...

I swim When I started around february last year, I couldn't swim 50m by any stroke. I only swam outdoors, in ocean pools and the open ocean, all through the coldest rainiest days of winter. I completed the forresters beach 1500m in november. I finished last lol, took me around 40 minutes, but I...

Why does the origin of the first cell point to a designer, but the later increasing sophistication and diversity of cell types and function does not require a designer? It seems like a valid question. You insist that a 'factory' analogy is valid. Well do you believe a biscuit factory can turn...

God of the gaps. Many things that were thought to be designed in the past, now have clear explanation. The earth itself is a complex physical system, but models of planetary accretion and geology are sound, it can all emerge without design. There is never going to be a fossil record of the...

Why do you hate the act of two adults having consensual sex in the privacy of their own home?

When the black ships arrived in 1853, the Japanese perceived them as a supernatural force, demons. As they had not seen steel coal powered ships before. Uncontacted tribes are likely to perceive sufficiently advanced technology as magic, or divine, for many cultures it would fit much more...

What are the points made by an argument for design? And why must an argument for design specifically lead to islam?

Simplest explanation an unobserved, omnipotent, omniscient, intelligent force that exists outside of all established and observed rules of reality, designed the universe 14 billion years ago, specifically designing this infinitely vast space so that 14 billion years into it's infinitely long...

The principle established in the Urey-Miller experiment holds true in repeated experiments under the conditions of the modern understanding of the early earth. http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/primordial-soup-urey-miller-evolution-experiment-repeated/

There is a consensus among biologists that prokaryotes came into existence by abiogenesis. 'The Miller–Urey experiment and similar experiments demonstrated that most amino acids , often called "the building blocks of life", can be racemically synthesized in conditions intended to be similar to...

Good ty, what's up?

Hi

About 8 minutes, serious. It usually takes a few months driving daily to feel totally efficient

I have very strong views on drugs, as drugs have affected many members of my family at one time or another. More than anything I feel that the walls are melting, and colours carry an almost overwhelming emotional intensity.

I agree with closing times/lockouts. Most venues in the state are licenced to close at 'some time', this is just making it a bit earlier. If you accept that some venues should close at some time, this is really just fiddling around the edges, people entering venues after 1:30am are there to get...

With mandatory sentencing for one punch attacks now in place, important lesson to take away from this; Always punch twice

Are you also in favour of the government paying people to dig holes and fill them in again?
