NT Election 2005

When at 9:30 CST - the ABC predicts a 12.1% swing to the CLP, more than 20% swing against the Opposition Leader, and a 30% swing to the ALP in my electorate of Daly. Only one thing can be said. What a great day for the Northern Territory. :)

45 Minutes and Counting - Part One According to the battery power left remaining in this laptop I have about 45 minutes left to analyse and scrutinize the topic of VSU - most of the contributions to this topic have been put forward by El Pres and thus, I will direct my first comment towards El Pres. El Pres - the se…

This post reminds me of Terrance and Phillip's movie - purely because of the name. <BIG>ASSES OF FIRE</BIG>

Sorry guys. I've had a read through all of the threads, and I very desperately want to reply. However it's 1:16 AM, and I've got a Foundations Laws, Intro to Pols 101, and Europe in the Modern Era: Foundations of International Relations assignments all due in at once. I'll have to reply another time...

Quote from Seqo: I know exactly what the topic is. And I've put my point of view in, stop preaching already. I've accepted your ability to raise your view, so please do the courtesy of letting me raise mine. I'm not preaching, and I'm certainly not personally attacking you, so when I said that the discussion is gett…

Generally you guys are loosing site of the topic again. The topic really is, do you basic ammenities and services to be offered as a part of beloning to a university? When you were at highschool, your parents paid fees to go to highschool, and you access to careers advisors, counsellors, the school nurse as well as …

Quote from paladin: that one single word that i bolded is what it all comes down to really. what the student wants to do. And what the students want will become very apparent, when you see the protests in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane, Perth... perhaps even Darwin. University is for almost everyone, much muc…

Quote from paladin: uhm. whats democratic about being forced to do something you dont want to? how is making it voluntary removing the voice? they can STILL JOIN THE UNION. as for your example. i'm really sorry that happened to the guy, and it's nice to see he was helped. but at the end of the day, i shouldn't be fo…

Quote from doyen: so what would you recommend for those students who fall into the crack of "I don't need this service, so I won't pay for it" and therefore choose not to, then later find themselves in a position where they need those services? If I was confronted with a student who had said, that they didn't need o…

Quote from Seqo: They can sign up when they reach that point. Paying the Union fees from then on in... and Quote from paladin: I suggest they pay for it when they need it. the point is they should have a choice about joining the union, if they don't want to, they shouldn't be forced into it. In regards to my example…

Quote from paladin: i'm no longer studying. not only does cdu have a crappy student union, it has crappy administration, and crappy courses. working is a far more pleasurable way to spend my time. and as has already been pointed out. if these unions are such wonderful things everywhere else, then people will be floc…

Quote from CoCoBuckeTs: Nice post. :) thanks. :D Although it will be interesting to gauge El Pressie's reaction.

Quote from paladin: to summarise, you think i should be forced to pay for something i don't want? Not what I'm saying at all. Infact there are even arguments to suggest that the services you recieve because of Compulsory Student Unionism shouldn't be classified as a 'want' but as a 'need'. Services like career's adv…

Quote from El Presidente: Ahli, what a lovely article. What a pity it's a load of bollocks.... I've heard every argument against VSU. I've heard them all. From end to end, from top to bottom, they are absolute bunk. Not one of them stands up to the test of either morality or reality. The time for voluntary student u…

Long Response - But Please Read. Quote from Wally: lol, the student union in canberra is acting like its the end of the world, organising posters, giving speeches at the start of lectures and organising talk at the uni bar That's because it is going to be the end of the world Wally. The end of the world outside of t…

Quote from El Presidente: Maybe it's because, you know, the Japanese are legally unable to defend themselves? What should we do? Let 'em rot? It's not like they can get Godzilla to kill insurgents. Think about it. Legally not able to defend themselves. Correct. Yet since the American-created Japanese Constitution th…
