As both Gillard and Abbott have ruled out borrowing money to pay for the Flood reconstruction effort, then this is a moot point/end of it. The NBN is not a waste of money, it will actually turn...

    Walking INTO lectures...

    UNSW vs USyd in computer science

    Who supports the Green's initiative to abolish university fees?

    America has good universities, no one denies they have some of the best in the world. However, they are extremely hard to get into and extremely expensive. We do not want that in Australia. Case closed.
