    which uni has the largest and smallest campus?

    What about all those stupid little campuses in the city that are basically just an office floor e.g. University of Wollongong Sydney campus, University of New England city campus etc... there are heaps of them and they are tiny. Also Notre Dame Sydney is going to be quite small.

    Why did the government EVER privatise telstra?

    I totally agree with you, it never made sense... it makes money for the government!

    Shattered Brogden's suicide bid

    Unfortunately the paper gets so much circulation because of the way it reports. Also, journalism on journalism is paramount as part of the system of media self regulation, it shouldn't really be condemned, there really should be more of it. And Liz Jackson on media watch made it clear that...

    B International Studies USYD/UNSW

    At UNSW you have to study a language all the way through... that's about all I know. Also you study overseas for part of the degree. What are you particularly interested in studying in your international studies degree?

    So sick of Credo/Anti VSU/Sexuality Awareness type people

    Once the elections are on, it's fine cos you just say "ive already voted"... it's the lead up which can be painful.

    Shattered Brogden's suicide bid

    Yep, media watch tonight was once again great. When I read that story though I thought "how do I know this isn't B.S. because no one gets named... except the chick who denies anything happened" I can't believe the editor of the tele denies it is shite, you think he could at least admit yes...

    Telstra and the Country

    People need a decent internet connection as well as phone lines, this is particularly important for businesses in rural areas. It's bloody hard to operate a business these days without having access to the internet, particularly if you are isolated. I'm not saying it needs to be state of the...

    Telstra and the Country

    People in the bush need services, it is for the greater good of the country. If rural and regional businesses don't have adequate communications then they may go under. That means communities lose jobs.... more centrelink payments are required... rural and regional communities will continue to...

    Telstra and the Country

    Yeah well that is what happened with that kid, there was no phone access, and his parents had been ringing about it for weeks. It's crazy. They rave on about providing low cost services for the bush but it is B.S.... your internet case totally sucks, you should be able to have the same...

    Telstra and the Country

    The Telstra sale is a major concern for those in regional and rural areas because there is simply no money to be made in communications outside of the city because the profits do not outweigh the infrastructure costs. I really do not understand why the govt is selling Telstra.... it's making...

    B International Studies USYD/UNSW

    I thought there were significant differences... Usyd is more economics based, while UNSW is more arts/languages focused. I'm not an expert, but I had a feeling they were quite different.

    Gumal Ngurang

    Yeah there is no internet connection, most people connect wirelessly through unwired or iburst. I have unwired and it's not too bad.... apparently the signal is better in some parts of the building than others. There are phone lines in the room so you can pay for broadband access and a...

    Kanye West on NBC: "George Bush doesn't care about Black People!"

    I think a more accurate statement would have been George Bush doesn't care about poor people.... but he had every right to say it, it is his opinion. Good on him for saying what he thinks.

    Hurricane Katrina

    If they got people out of there faster and didn't starve and dehydrate them for several days then probably wouldn't have these problems. I can't believe they are more focused on a commando military style insurgency than actually getting people out.

    Michael Moore's Open Letter To George Bush

    People that are Michael Moore bashes fail to neglect one point. He is simply giving his opinion... just like we are on this forum... whether it be through a letter like this or a movie. He is certainly no authorative source, and you can agree and disagree with him how you like etc. I don't...

    Hurricane Katrina

    Yeah when I watch the journalists reporting, I think omigod.... people are coming up to the camera holding up their kids who are starving etc... I don't know how I could handle that, it would be so difficult.

    Hurricane Katrina

    http://www.smh.com.au/news/world/tv-crew-rescues-stranded-australians/2005/09/02/1125302731165.html When I saw Mike Amor interviewing those people I thought how could he leave them behind.... he didn't. And the point about how could a journalist and his camera crew get in while Australian...

    So, will YOU be donating money to the richest economy in the world?

    Hmmm I don't really think we should have to, I feel sorry for those people though... it's a tough decision. Politically and economically we shouldn't have to... America should have enough resources to help those people. But since the US government doesn't seem to be doing a very good job of...

    Hurricane Katrina

    I think looting should be allowed for essentials because the store owners will be able to recoup for their losses through insurance and people need to eat. The troops should be focusing on preventing violent crime and focusing on rescuing and helping people as best they can. The relief...
