WAF, I'm not sure I completely understood the point of your last response.... Like I said, if the difference between the quota water price and the over-your-quota water price won't be tremendous no one's going to give a stuff and abide by it. Therefore, why bother implementing a large, complex...

The "fly in social circles" argument is based on this. However, if water at market rate "wouldn't be a tremendous burden" what's the point of having water quotas? People won't be discouraged from using more than their share of water. For the rest of it, Not-That-Bright nutshelled my argument...

I've got no problem with recycled water. Everyone is against it because it's referred to by the Iemma government as recycled sewage and people can't think for themselves. Damn propaganda.:chainsaw: Oh and I <3 Beattie.

Do you really think that this philosophy would actually fly in social circles? While children counting for two people may be a better situation, its by no means a solution. I say this hesitantly, but it's almost an incentive for divorce among those in poorer situations. And again, you've...

Awesome. Thanks dudes.

Does anyone know where HutD10 G02 is? I'd assuming that G02 is a map grid reference (maybe?) which means it's somewhere down near NIDA. Or am I completely wrong? :confused: Thanks.

Umm...I went to the UK, Ireland, Greece, France, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Estonia, Russia, Poland and a few other places. I enrolled as well, the day after offers. I've got an awesome timetable, only one early start and Friday off because I chose Philosophy as my elective :D What about you?

Couple of problems. 1. Parents getting children's quotas is fine if they are living in a "normal", nuclear family. However, what about divorced parents with shared custody? That custody could be anything from one week with mum, one with dad to weekend visitation or monthly. You couldn't give...

It's still not a workable. The "something" would have to be the number of people going to live in the house, which can change frequently - births, deaths, children boarding at school/uni, extended trips away, exchange students (yes, I know the examples are getting more far-fetched but they could...

While the UAC guide did say that performance in Year 12 subjects - limited courses only, never did it give any indication that Commerce would be directly affected. Nothing in the above even suggests that there would be other criteria taken into account for Commerce. It is implied more that if...

Agreed. If they were suggested or required prerequities in the UAC handbook, then fair enough. But UNSW can't just decide to "hand-pick" students because they performed well in 4U Maths without telling students. Talk about a hidden criteria. The UAI was suppose to be the great leveller...

I applied for an alumni scholarship. Haven't heard anything yet.

I get the idea is to stop the "yuppies" but the fundamental flaw with the plan is, as I said, you would need to profile each household. With the population of Sydney and the current migration patterns into the city (about 780 per week - NSW govt source here) it isn't reasonable to do. Who said...

Accept the offer you're given and then defer it. Then when you reapply through UAC next year to take up your guaranteed spot, put B Com/Arts as your first preference and your deferred place second. That way if the UAI cut-off comes down (to or below your UAI) in 2008 for B Com/Arts you'll get...

It's not feasible to ration water for Sydney's population. How is a "reasonable amount" of water decided? Yuppies will use less than a five person family, some what is reasonable for the yuppies, isn't for families with children. And if you set the amount high for families, the yuppies will...

I hate them. "Stop a P-plater from speeding and you stop a P-plater from dying." Would have thought that if you stop a driver from speeding, you stop a driver dying. :angry: The new restrictions won't stop an alone p-plater in their car racing at lights with other cars. They probably won't...

I deferred because if I had gone on to uni I would have flipped out mid-semester. Thirteen continuous years of schooling was enough for me, so I saved my money and left in April last year for Europe. It was the best decision I've ever made :D If you need two level 1 SOCA subjects for third...

The stats I quoted are from the RTA's December 2006 "Monthly Bulletin" (link), although it's only titled as preliminary traffic crash data, and the total number of fatalities has yet to be "finalised". I still think out-sourcing to private enterprise is the way to go. Simply because the...

Schoolies_2004 is right. The media has blown all the recent P-plate deaths out of portion. If you look at the number of cars involved in fatalities in 2006 (652) and then the number of drivers involved aged between 17 and 20 (67), it works out that P-platers (red and green) were involved in...

Circle of Flight - John Marsden (The Ellie Chronicles) This book is the last of a trilogy concerning Ellie, Homer, Lee and a bunch of other new people as they try and deal with the fall out of Australia being invaded. Personally, I haven't been impressed by this series and, at times, have...
