Any car has sufficient acceleration to turn a merging impact from rear door to boot If you were in the third lane of the fwy, with 2nd and 1st lanes occupied, on the limit and with an ambulance behind you should be able to accelerate in order to get in front of the car on your left...

Because you've been fucking brainwashed by the RTAs backwards policies Your "evidence" was shit... *First site: -Its relative to a 60 zone, of course 10 extra ks in a 60 zone are much worse than 10 extra ks in a 110 zone -The stats in themselves are BS because people who "speed" are more...

Speed limit = design speed - politically driven deduction to push 'speeding kills' message

I'm not against a technical limit per se, however I have to take you up on this point. Design speed of the road between Syd and Canberra is 130; i.e. safest speed to negotiate the tightest turn on the road Its extremely important that cars can speed up quickly, e.g: -Someone merging from the...

It shows how ridiculously low our speed limits are Every week theres a story about someone caught speeding on the M5 This is a damn good road, we should be able to drive at 130-140 Obviously 250 is extreme

The only significant change is that the '19k in 18mths' test has been abolished. The Rudd government has implied that parents earning over $150k are wealthy enough to cough up ~$10k a year per child in order for them to attend university The worst affected will be those from large families...

This is fucking terrible My parents shouldn't be forced to find $10k+ a year for me (and my 3 siblings) to attend university, especially whilst approaching retirement age And as a taxpayer and independent adult citizen by every other test, I should have the right to access appropriate income...

I reckon its just a vote winner to be dumped after the election Polling has shown that over 2/3 of Aussies support the idea internet censorship - as if a politician would not capitalise on this Give Rudd some credit; he's an intelligent guy and I reckon will be prepared to tell conroy to get...

Kinsey found that 1 in 5 experience some form of homosexuality

What makes this even worse is that he has a B.Economics

If you want to do honours with economics/econometrics/finance majors, you will need some serious maths for all the modelling etc Otherwise, commerce degrees let you skirt around the mathematical stuff (you can do management, marketing, information systems, accounting, business law)

Usyd law

2.5hrs? Where on Earth do you live? In fact, at 2.5hrs you must live within 30mins of Newcastle/Wollongong unis or within 1.5hrs of UWS

Its O-week so there's no class Sydney's campus life is really not that good as such a high proportion of people live off campus... I reckon you'd have just as much fun in a share house in Newtown or Glebe (suburbs with huge student populations, next door to uni) The students will be around...

If the private sector has the financial capacity to build a power station, than the Government (with an increased capacity to borrow) certainly does In any case, this goes beyond your original argument - I've already shown that there is an alternative that can easily be instituted with...

You're kind of right... Vic and SA have privatised power generation. It holds true for all the other states/territories however.

lol, so... the Government has the potential to easily make the switch to renewables, and this is bad because they are "pigs"/we want private corporations to be able to build environmentally destructive generators BUT we actually want renewable energy to be used, so lets screw these private...

The vast majority of people on welfare work (FTB is applicable to incomes up to $150k; as is baby bonus) The premise of the argument is that we should retract welfare to make unintelligent people extinct. If we did that it would lead to the genius society with the problems I described.

This is BS, simply because the Gov owns and operates all fossil fuel generation in Australia. The Gov also sets the wholesale price... there is no competition in the market. If the Gov decides to turn off all the coal power stations and build renewable energy stations (obviously gradually) then...

I agree with the OP... However - who says that intelligence is the #1 trait? *We need dumb people to do shitty/stagnant jobs in order that intelligent people can hold management positions and be paid $$$ *If everyone was of maximum intelligence, no-one would consent to any hierarchical...
