That's a good idea, eliminate all political parties that disagree with you. That's really democratic. Shows what kind of society Coalition supporters want.

A debt is a debt though, agreed? Anyone smart enough to be going to university should see that a HECS debt is as much of a liability as any other. The way it's paid back isn't really relevant, but the amount is, and this is what will be increasing.

Higher fees are a disincentive regardless of your background. If the fees are higher we will see less people willing to take on the higher debt associated with university study and a less educated population overall, regardless of social 'class'. Surely this is a bad thing? I can't see the...

What was I saying about insults? You could try being polite. People might care what you say then. It's also interesting to note that while the US has the lowest growth rate of population with tertiary education, out of the ten countries, at 1.4%, for Australia this rate is over twice as high...

Economics - absolutely. I know so much more about the political and economic situation having studied Economics for almost two years, and I think this is very useful knowledge. Maths 3/4U - yes. Even if you never study the concepts themselves again, the problem solving skills you learn from...

It's not in decline. Mining companies are posting bigger profits each year. Not to mention the corporate welfare handouts they get from the government - apparently the end of the "age of entitlement" only affects normal people and not Tony's friends like Gina Rinehart.

Not true. The money is being directed into the medical research fund. It is not being used to cover the costs of public healthcare, therefore it is not a "price on medical services".

It has to be Keating. Without his reforms in relation to reducing and removing tariffs, and floating of the dollar, Australia would not have experienced the vast improvement in competitiveness and economic conditions that we have seen over the last few decades. Costello was responsible for...

On what planet is university more accessible in the US? That country has some of the most unequal distribution of income in the developed world, and the rich are sadly the only ones that can afford things like university and healthcare. Is this what you want Australia to become? May I also...

I study at your mum's house.

Thanks - I had this open in another tab already, but it is a great resource.

I'm doing Caesar as my core text for Module C. What do you guys think about John Marsden's "Tomorrow When the War Began" as a related text for conflicting perspectives? I could easily write about the book as an allegory for European settlement in Australia and the conflicting perspectives of...

I did 14 units for three terms of year 11, meaning I had no study periods. Then I picked up MX2 and dropped chem and eng ext like they were hot. I went from having no spares to more than most of my friends, it was great.

My maths teacher left suddenly last week due to a medical condition that meant he could no longer teach. The condition had been ongoing but eventually it got to the point where his doctor told him he had to stop. It was actually really sad, he was crying as he told us he couldn't finish the year...
