Re: Leaders push for 'sorry' compensation I'd have to go against the general trend here and support the notion of compensation for stolen generation victims. There's no need to muddle the issue of welfare handouts with compensation. If the individuals of the stolen generation have suffered, if...

I agree that it is a major problem. But at the same time advances in health and dietary sciences have been so significant that average life expectancy has increased dramatically over the past century. So whilst overweight people are more likely to suffer health problems, the increase in obesity...

No we don't eat as healthily as we could. And by genetic I mean some people will never be fat even if they didn't care about what they eat. Health is an area with a heavy genetic influence. Even though lifestyle choices like smoking will make a person more likely to suffer from lung cancer...

It's actually mainly to do with genetics.

It'll be on fox, you can watch it in pubs or you can stream it.

It will depend on the degree you're doing. Arts: 2-3 days Commerce: 3-4 days Science/Engineering/Pharmacy etc.: 4-5 days

Try to eat something just before you go to sleep. Blood will flow from your brain to your digestive system which should alleviate an over active brain for a few hours. Don't take any pills. Sleeping pills are overkill and will affect your work performance in the morning; while anything else...

Bruno is his funniest character. Looking forward to the movie.

I'd prefer Obama but Clinton will be the next president.

Religion is a rational instrument, rational in the fulfillment of its primary purpose - the enactment of a state of social order. It offers something - for example the promise of an afterlife, food and clothing for the poor, an absolute point of spiritual reference, social networks etc. - in...

Democrats had no supporters left to man the polling booths on election day. Someone came to take their boards down but that was about it.

It's great to see that Good bye Lenin has a few fans. The way in which it juxtaposes old communism against new consumerism, the pathos of the son's efforts to comfort his mother and its nostalgic portrayal of the relics of the old communist way of life that was lost forever, makes the film...

It's not about the net wealth but about the image he resonates. There are many insurmountable problems with that image, but they are basically caused by the fact that he's achieved too much in his life. Of course it sounds illogical, but people do not reason logically when it comes to forming...

The next recession is not due this term. It will happen in about 2011, since the global cyclical downturn occurred in 2001 (Australia managed to minimise its effects through slightly expansionary monetary policy and the resources boom). So it won't happen in 2008 but in approx 2011 which...

Turnbull is too much of a high achiever to be electable, tbh. There's no way he can identify with the average Australian. That will engender an envy backlash from the electorate. Also I doubt that he'll be able to shake off his image of standing only for the interests of big business.

Yeah Brendan Nelson is the only viable candidate in my mind. Neither Turnbull nor Abbott is electable.

Costello could have done many things differently in hindsight. But ultimately he made those 'mistakes' because he was a natural follower and not a leader.

But the electorate has spoken against both Howard and Costello this time (since it was widely acknowledged that Costello would take over mid term). Costello did not stand a chance of being elected any time soon. I think his decision was entirely correct for his family and his party, which needed...
