First it was DJ's, Harvey Norman etc, now it is the smaller guys who are muscling in on the campaign to have GST imposed on internet purchases under $1000. http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/nation/small-retailers-join-in-battle-over-import-taxes/story-e6frg6nf-1225984663069 Personally I...

I have a question for you economic-minded folk on this board. The Henry Tax review advocated a 40% 'resource rent tax' and a reduction in the company tax rate to 25%. Mr Rudd took this and turned it into a 'super profits tax' on mining companies with a corresponding drop in the company tax...

Chaos as Labor suspends QT to ambush Tony Abbott on health | The Australian Thoughts?

It's horrible. Please, someone fix it. DISCLAIMER: I make this plea as someone who knows nothing about the practicalities of fixing internet forums.

Tony Abbott It is a wonder this man even made it to Parliament in the first place.

Hey folks, Just wondering when exactly it is necessary to write up case notes? Is it necessary for every case you encounter in your reading, or just for the ones you think you need to write a case note for, or simply the ones that your lecturer/tutor suggests require case notes? Cheers

OK, so this topic may seem a bit left-of-centre for the NCAP forum, but nevertheless, I couldn't help getting angry when I read this article: http://www.caradvice.com.au/50781/nsw-state-wide-speed-limit-90kmh/ I guess anyone who's read my posting on this forum would know that I'm not a huge...

Okay, my HSC dream count is now upto 2. They're pretty retarded as well. In the last one, there were only 12 people in the state doing English Extension - and 10 of them got 50/50! In the one before that, English Paper One was required to be done in 45 minutes and the unseen texts section had...

Went to see it yesterday with a fair degree of interest and perhaps apprehension. It was frustrating and funny, yet it ultimately lacked the incision needed for an adequately deep message. While the 'Dead Peasants' made me sick (as did the Citibank memo), I felt there was a bit too much of...

Hey folks just a general question from someone who's probably going to pick this major next year: how much economics do you learn in political economy compared to the standard econ course? Is there much overlap between the two, or do you learn about completely different stuff? Cheers :)

The man announced that he thinks terrorists are coming to Australia....masquerading as asylum seekers! Rudd slams Tuckey's 'terrorist' asylum seeker comments Even in the extremely unlikely scenario that this were true, I think it's time someone booted the man out of Parliament. Does...

Hey guys had a sudden realisation: When I was writing on my exam booklet for Q 26 (biz report), I accidentally wrote that it was in Section IV as opposed to Section III, though I still correctly wrote that the question number was 26. Is this a major concern?

I'm not sure if this has already been suitably threaded, but I get the feeling that 16 year old Jessica Watson, who started her global circumnavigation attempt yesterday, may not be coming back. Sail-World.com : She's off! Jessica Watson departs Australia - but for what record? Of some concern...

I found this while webrowsing: Libertarian National Socialist Green Party If there is something like this in Australia, I am so joining it.

Boy, 5, kills alligator 20 times his size I'll go on the record to say that I think this is the most hardass kid I've ever seen. Southern hicks ftw!

Having noticed the increasing preponderance of anarcho-capitalist ideas (or even anarchist/minarchist in general) in this forum as of late, I figured that it might be an idea to create a separate thread to deal with this topic more fully. So far a-c has come up in a few other threads but never...

It's changed! New citizenship test 'more relevant than the last' - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) Thoughts?

With the heated discussion regarding the moral justification of the state, I feel is another question to be asked regarding freedom of speech - does the state have a right to 'police' freedom of speech? Imo freedom of speech should be monitored by the state insofar as that it should censor...

Has it worked? Do you that the suspension of the RDA was a necessary evil? Or is it time to introduce something better?
