WAIT WAIT WAIT This is shocking reporting... I watched the show and that is NOT what he said The presenter asked him 2 questions in quick succession - he seemed to change his mind on what to ask 1/2 way through the question due to audience reaction 1. are all your policies evidence based (or...

Going to uni in your hometown can trap you in ur high school circle of friends, reduce any incentive to move out of home and restrict all the good experiences from living with other students.

I dont think the TAs have any authority to question your eligibility for a concession foil... all they can do is ask to see it

Lol you're meant to read shit before u sign it

I hate plane breakfasts - I cant stand UHT milk/oven cooked eggs (no stoves on planes) But the lunch/dinner on Qantas economy is pretty good tbh - usually a curry with rice/meat with vegetables + chocolate, salad and ice cream I'd even say it was on par/better than BA business food in terms of...

have you read them?

This isn't how it works I've seen these emails... they always refer to a specific file Presumably the private security firms paid to do this kind of work simply look at the download peer list in torrent client software, trace the IPs listed back to ISPs and then send out these emails Ive...

Why would i waste so much time typing logical arguments ?

The productivity measurement is conceptual - of course parents are going to pick up the bill if the Gov fails to. The point is that going to uni does increase productivity compared to not going - and it is the Gov that benefits so should be the Gov who pays. But that's just it... minimum...

Are private investors allowed to just go and build a college? If you had 300 students, paying $200 a week for 40 weeks a year, you'd make $2.4million pa. Even considering rates, bills for utilities, communications and staff etc - it seems like theres quite a handsome profit to be made If...

Under the ETS, prices will rise by a few % purely for the profit of traders (ignoring price rises linked to the actual price of the permits) - this seems remarkably inefficient There are only 3 significant contributors to greenhouse gases - energy, transport and agriculture There's an article...

My dad used to have one that ran MSdos, black screen with green font and cool games such as hangman and pacman:) Then in 95 we paid $4k for this 70mhz, 16mb ram, 2gb HDD (thats $5600 in today's money)

Accountability is an extremely important aspect of the freedom of speech concept Otherwise you need defamation laws, incitement laws etc to restrict the bs that "ppl" come out with - and these kind of restrictions are tedious to enforce and very inefficient

Seems like the youth allowance changes have really put people off from the idea of a gap year

When you're old enough to want to move out, you should be able to afford to do so. The Gov is atm just leeching off parents and ignoring their duty to support young adult citizens. + , moving to seek better educational opportunities is a good thing that will lead to inc tax revenues in the...
