Keep in mind that as of now he has only been charged, not convicted. That the Police claim that they have a strong case doesn't change this fact.

The Coaliton cannot be solely blamed (or praised, if you're that way inclined) for the reforms of the past 10 years, no, but you're out on a limb if you're trying to suggest that the Coalition is not solely responsible (in a legislative sense) for the Work Choices Bill. I know that I'm being...

No, but I'm fairly certain that a few people have made note of the fact that the Labor Government enacted its own reforms back in 1993. I hate it when people use a 'u' when they are talking about the ALP. It's bloody annoying. Thanks for stating the obvious, but it's a bit rich to hold...

Work Choices Decision (.pdf) Rejected outright. Even the Government was expecting the odd provision to be challenged successfully, I believe.

I love it how Seven manages its schedule - SG1 returns and the dvds are released two or three weeks later, and Atlantis returns two weeks before the dvds are released (I have the feeling that Seven had something to do with the dvd release of Atlantis Season 2 being pushed back to 29 November...

Petitions – can they change the world? We all know that a local issue can be resolved or brought to a head with a petition, but is that the case with issues played out on the national and/or international stage? Do such petitions carry any weight or are they more about giving people the...

Hah you know that you're on a roll when you manage to stuff up the correction. It should have been 'too patient', not 'too short'. As for the retraction in general, I thought that it would be a good idea given Silver Persian's post :o.

Calm down - The Bias and the ABC thread.

In my original post I should have said that I thought "that you were, at times, too short with those who turned to BOS for an answer merely because they were too lazy to look for themselves." Also, though I was annoyed by those who turned to BOS for clarification regarding important yet at times...

Chief, don't consider yourself safe merely because someone on BOS said that that may be the case. Contact the lecturer or the tutor and get a unit-specific response.

Re: Peer Assessment: ujuphleg In general, I think that you were, at times, too nice, especially when it came to those who asked the most idiotic of questions that could have been answered by a quick search of the University's website or by a simple email to the tutor or lecturer. I do realise...

The Club Mac situation is due to the university splitting the discipline of Geography between the Sciences (physical) and the Arts (human) - I'm assuming that the only real difference would be in the nature of the examples used to teach the techniques. At USyd there is no GIS programme as such...

Thread three of three - Drought package encourages farmers to stay on the land Farmers reject criticism of drought management techniques Most farms remain viable: Vaile It stands to reason that the Nationals will fight to ensure that all farmers who wish to remain on the land may...

Thread two of three - Mark Scott: Getting serious about any bias New ABC boss vows no more bias ABC introduces new editorial guidelines Censorship fear on new ABC rules (This report isn't entirely accurate - as the AM report states, "Satire and comedy programs are exempt.") We all know...

An old article, but, given that I saved the link so that I could one day use it as a launching pad for a new discussion, I guess that I'd be best to throw it up now before I walk away. Thread one of three - I thought that an introduction of sorts would be in order, but the above article more...

Back on topic - MP quits with spray at 'grubby' Libs Liberals' 'hijacked' by right-wing extremists The fun continues.

Change the lower north shore to being near a train line within a national park and the Chardonnay to tea and you'll have my life in 10 or so years (I would say 15-20, but the recent reports regarding infertility suggest that I'd be best to act sooner rather than later). I'd prefer something more...

It's fair to say that it's more than you would think. In other words, I agree with gerhard.

Not all of us were that bad, hiphop. It's a shame that Shorten wasn't pressed with a proper question following the debate, but overall it was a good hour.
