    Library fines

    Just wondering whether anyone here has managed to graduate without paying their library fines? I owe about $10 and not sure whether they won't let me graduate if I don't pay it.

    Library Lawn Trees

    Does anyone know why the trees that were on the library lawn have been cut down? I've been away from uni for the past year and just came back this week and noticed they were gone. I think the library lawn looked a lot better when they were there.

Ironically this has been coming from the Liberal Party - which has been traditionally regarded in Australia as the protector of the states rights. The ALP has never really been a defender of federalism although with...

    Nsw

    I have not posted for a while, so it’s time for a bit of a rant about the state of NSW I’m afraid, given Bob Carr's statement that he intends to stay on and fight the next election. Whereas I do not want to offend anyone, much of what I say will be devoid of any political correctness, sorry...

    Carr or Brogden?

    Seeing as though many of us have had a debate on this and we have a Howard versus Latham one, I thought it might also be appropriate to cover things in NSW. I am with Brogden.

    Newspaper Editorials

    Pretty much every newspaper in Australia is backing the coalition for re-election. No major newspapers have decided to support Mark Latham which must be considered a major blow at this stage in the campaign. The main reasons for backing the coalition are Mark Latham's inexperience and...

    The choice

    When we choose a government we choose not just a suite of policies but also a frame of mind. I'm a Liberal because I'm fundamentally optimistic about the world, about Australia, about the capacity of human beings to solve their problems. When you choose a Liberal government you choose...
