Howard takes another step towards his dream of a reinvented White Australia.

If you got credit for the subject, you should be able to get waivers for every single subject you're enrolled in. Simply ask the subdean of HBS (her email is hbs_ssc@uow.edu.au :)). She may tell you to get waivers for every other subject from each co-ordinator, or she may simply just change your...

Time for an anti-Debnam article. There's far too many anti-Labor, time for some balance. These are politicians, remember, we're supposed to hate them all, equally. They're all lying scumbuckets. :) NSW Opposition holding back on costings I wouldn't mind if $28.5 billion was spent. NSW needs...

From news.com.au olol. my kind of company. Australia under WorkChoices, a worker's paradise. Especially if you've got bowel cancer.

Re: Should Australia be a Republic. Having an apolitical figurehead as the apex of Australian power isn't necessarily a bad thing. The Queen and her Governor-General are expected to not meddle in the affairs of Australian politics, yet have the power to do so should there be a need (like in...

Memorable doesn't necessarily equate to good. For example, my UoW experience has been memorable to say the least. But, more like "oh my goodness, I've been raped" memorable, and not "this is the best time of my life" memorable. What are those RA's planning? :>

Re: 个文檌詞! 我们好。^_^ （mixing Japanese characters with Chinese because some of the characters when it came to fonts wouldn't display in Chinese :S)

Quoted for truth. If the media stopped sensationalising the most trivial of things, then perhaps HSC candidates would have less stress. Select subjects *they* want to select, choose courses *they* want to choose, and so on and so forth.

Centrelink takes means testing very seriously. Perhaps the wrong income limit has been applied, there are a lot of people I know who fail means testing yet are still in need of assistance. No. The money is given to the students so they have money to live off while at TAFE or university. One who...

Three cheers for snobbery! :( If it's your first time, there's a chance that you're going to be confused. Once you go through it once, you should be fine with all the features that exist there, and so will wonder why you ever thought it difficult.

We're on holidays. The only people who really post here are the prospective 2007 first-years, and us who are trying to scare them away. :D Don't worry, you're more than welcome here. :) So long as you're not a certain lecturer whom everybody seems to hate without exception, you're most...

Why? If you're not good at mathematics or English, you're not going to do well in the HSC years. You'll be encouraged by your teachers to pick a general level, or in the case of mathematics, you may be encouraged by your teachers to not do it at all. Besides, selection based on mathematics and...

You can't seriously be saying that the only people who get high UAIs are those who study? You can't seriously take natural talent out of the equation, can you? They sit in class, they pick up what they need during class, they spit it out in a test. Photographic memories, for example. Why two...

I used medicine as an example as to other ways universities look at accepting people with more criteria than just a UAI. UNSW isn't the first to develop other selection criterion, and they deserve non of this harassment. :( It's good to have other selection criterion than just a number. More...

I agree. It should have been a non-issue. UNSW isn't the first university to do this at all. Somebody who knows the article's author probably didn't get into UNSW commerce (I'm being rather presumptuous, I know).

Perhaps it's the candidates who are more concerned about which university has the higher UAI, and not the universities themselves. I don't quite get your fascination with a cut-off though. They published the cut-off at 95.10 because they were willing to accept anybody who got 95.10+, other than...

What you said is also just as presumptuous. You have no way of proving everybody with a high UAI studied their arse off. Working hard can improve your chances (with a rather high probability that it will), but that doesn't mean that not working at all will definitely destroy them. Sure you won't...

I don't go to UNSW. I am defending them. :)

Incorrect. I put no effort into my study when I did the HSC. In fact, I didn't study. I still got a very high UAI. Good measurement of effot, that was. :) No, that student is simply good at PDHPE, Biology, D&T, Modern History, and Advanced English. Though UNSW claimed nobody above the cut-off...

I wouldn't say a major will produce that bad a quality of understanding. If you practice and make friends who speak said language natively, you will find yourself with a decent level by the end of the major. Definitely enough to get by everyday life in the country, and for conversational...
