to be frank, the current syllabus is actually based on the right ideals, just covered with a layer of bullshit english is about developing the skills required to look at real world texts (comedy, satire, serious news, ads, literature, reports... whatever) and to have the mental ability to...

my supervisors werent so great the head BOS guy told us to put up our hands so they could sign the blue sheets - but this woman just came round and said "great, your sheets are in order" but then told me that someone would sign the sheet later... fucking downer and THEN, this guy came round. i...

our teacher said this as well, and he marks HSCs

in july, rudd deemed the appropriate amounts for transfer payments, in accordance with the needs of the recipients and the economy as a whole - hence he has already had maximum scope to address the needs of the sick and the poor and he made a decisive judgment on how much would be appropriate to...

this is going to sound really elitist, but... so my parents work their asses off everyday so that you can get "free" money? progressive taxation thats budgeted and well thought out? fine random cash "giveaways" to people who really don't deserve it anymore than i do? robbery
