Bachelor of Science, either as a stand-alone degree or as a part of a combined/double programme (e.g., Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of Commerce, Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of Engineering, etc.).

National Press Club - Federal Election 2007 Speaker’s Program In addition to the previously mentioned debate between Mr Hockey and Ms Gillard on 7 November, Mr Turnbull and Mr Garrett will be discussing the Environment on 8 November and Mr Downer and Mr McClelland will be discussing Foreign...

Hah! More gold from Ms Kelly - In Kelly country, fear and not much loathing (June 2004). Sadly, Ms Kelly's generalisation was, at least in part, based on fact, and not much has changed since 2004. This recent presentation prepared by the Sydney Morning Herald suggests as much.

Abbott's day from hell He was late.

To be quite honest, that letter is tame compared to many of the others that I have come across (primarily those from Jackie Kelly (retiring Liberal member for Lindsay)), but your partisan outrage is misguided given that the printing allowance is abused by all sitting members.

National Press Club of Australia - Federal Election 2007 Speaker’s Program

It's clear that the audience members seem to think that Mr Swan has the better face, however, once Nine's audience actually starts to listen to what both men have to say, the worm does seem to travel along a more believable path. Edit: That said, Mr Costello's baseline seems to be at 0 and Mr...

Keep in mind that there's more to Parliament than Question Time - Mr Costello has always seemed strong whenever the House is in the midst of a formal debate. Of course, such debates aren't based on the question, serve and volley format, but they still demonstrate just how effective some of our...

Though I'm inclined to agree, you have to admit that others may consider the flip side of the coin to be just as bad. This statement from williams180 is what I would call opinionated garbage. The Age Anyway, I just thought that it would be best to point out that your fact is actually a...

To me it's a case of dealing with the situation in Iraq as it exists given that we are partly at fault for said situation. It's also a case of dealing with the past and its consequences with the benefit of hindsight - though I'm now inclined to say that the invasion was wrong (the original...

I'm inclined to agree. Poorly phrased - what I should have said was 'taking our current and continued involvement in Iraq as a given and necessay evil.' I wasn't trying to justify the war, rather I was trying to say that given the circumstances (right or wrong, and I'm inclined to say...

I hate to be particular, but what do you mean by everyone? The only difference between the two major parties regarding Iraq is that the ALP wants to withdraw the combat troops from Iraq - the naval and air forces stationed in the Middle East at large will remain as will a substantial number of...

Though there wasn't much separating the two leaders in terms of substance, Mr Rudd was clearly the winner in terms of style. Both leaders were as evasive as we all knew they would be, but that's all part of the fun, especially when there isn't a great deal separating the two parties (or...

Aside - That reach out ad is annoying me to death. Question (Kevin Rudd style) - Is that more due to those volunteering to be a part of Ms. McKew's team or Labor's attempt to control the campaign within the seat (i.e., weed out the ideologues and those unable to present a courteous face to...

Grand motherhood, and dare I say Presidential, statements from Mr Rudd.

I think that it's more a case of Rudd being preferred than popular. That said, you point still stands regardless. True for the most part, but in determining the broad policy platform the Conference does shape the approach taken by the parliamentary wing of the party at the federal level...

That they're largely lawyers (or at the very least trained as lawyers) doesn't make the claim any less valid, Iron. The unions and the ALP are still intimately linked, and I doubt that even saintly Kevin Rudd (Mr Howard mark II) will be able to push through any party level reforms. Look at what...

Re. Press Conference - Though I will be directing my preferences to the ALP (and voting for the Australian Democrats), Mr Howard is right in pointing out the prospect of a parliamentary ALP at the Federal level being dominated by former union officials. Yes, the ALP and the unions are as one...

Tony Burke last week - Source: SMH You may think that it's a predictable response, katie, but Tony Burke's argument isn't without foundation - when the Minister seemingly ignores the original justification in favour of a pathetic attempt to play the race card, what else can it be but...

The other threads are quite old, so here's a new one. In December Terry Pratchett's Hogfather, a live-action television adaptation of the Hogfather novel, will be released on dvd in a region 4 format. Given that it seems unlikley that it will be screened here in Australia on free-to-air tv, I...
