That's a Federal department, you can expect be paid shit there.

If a HECS student graduates and promptly decides to go abroad, does he/she still have to pay HECS out of the income they earn in a foreign country?

That would be cool, being apart of the public service and everything and being protected by a state award. I don't understand my local Post Office. It's a very customer-service intensive job and yet they have a fat guy with a pony tail in their employ. It just annoys me that I could be doing...

As thrilling as the prospect is, I doubt the Coalition will split. The Nationals are too spineless to take a stand. They strike me as a party of self-serving bastards, posing as representatives of rural regions but only taking part in the Coalition for petty purposes of self-advancement. Joyce...

So your theory is rapidly increase population now and just hope that new technology comes about to combat the problem?

Churches are entitled to criticise government policy, but they shold refrain from publicly backing a given political party.

Young Labor has organised a 'Sasauge and Tabbouli Day' (cheesy, I know) this weekend at Parramatta. I wasn't going to go because getting to Parra is a fair train ride away for me and I have to work in the evening, but I was put on the spot when someone rang me last night asking me about it. I...

Radio National is broadcasting its regular programs. It's only NewsRadio which covers cricket (when it's on, which isn't nearly enough).

Just Rudd bombast or should this be of concern? There is a small group of longtime Liberal Party members who criticise the present position of the party.

Abbott may switch portfolios and the executive powers the minister commands may be bestowed onto another Cabinet member. But who? And will he/she wet, or just another Liberal Party anti-individual choice advocate?

The youth wings of both parties have a number of extremists, I'd imagine. Young Labor, leftist extremists; Young Libs, extreme social cons. The senior organisations are different though in that Labor prevents its extremists from gaining access to the higher echelons of the party, while the...

lol Rudd. And to think people complain about his lengthy airtime. Grandiose, funny- top opposition that is.

What evidence do you have to suggest that Labor is in leage with any sort of terrorist organisation? Kim Beazley has made statements following terrorist atrocities urging no mercy in the persuit and capture of perpetrators while Prime Minister Howard at the same time urged caution and...

Just out of curiosity, how did you come to meet with him? I mean, you're not bad zahid, it's just that your overt Islamic inclination will be of no help to Labor's cause and I fail to see what benefits you could bring to the party. I agree, MoonlightSonata's question was a serious one. You...

Sorry, I was being lazy. The 7.30 Report ran a story on it last night.

Get rid of Vanstone I reckon, she's demonstrated her ineptitude too many times. Don't know who to replace her with though, they're all zombies on that backbench.

But it has been said that RU-486 is no more dangerous than a surgical abortion. Thank goodness for Senate inquiries, I suppose.

Vader. I doubt he'd even need to draw his lightsaber, preferring instead to Force-strangle Voldemort.

Is one essentially opposed to the free market if one opposes WorkChoices? BOS has always had a healthy balance of opinion. It has never been overly dominated by any side of the spectrum, at least not during my time here.

That in itself is a repulsive feature of the Howard Government. Stripping university funding to unprecedented lows, then threatening to withhold what meagre funds are left unless the university conforms to WorkChoices ideology. That they are rejected nationwide and force has to be applied in...
