Aww the goose won. Even though I was a Sydney supporter, both teams who got to the end were deserving so it wasn't devestating or anything. Not like last year when ash and amanda won.... they were likable, but their restaurant was hopeless compared to the others.

I wouldn't boycott Bali.... but I would be highly careful of my luggage when travelling to any third world country.

Is anyone going to the end of semester parties on this week?

Yeah I forgot about that.... usually I just use Factiva, but I can't post links to the articles that I find with that

I was going to say that wonderwall would definately be one I would pick. What about bohemian rhapsody by prince lol Some Michael Jackson songs would have to rate as well.... like Thriller, Billy Jean, etc. Beatles songs as well.... I love Let it Be..... Elvis as well maybe? Love me...

Amanda has probably been less tough on detention than that last evil immigration guy was (Ruddock, that's right isn't it?) But I think there should be a full inquiry in to this situation. It is absolutely ridiculous. Mandatory detention is wrong. How come other countries survive...

I would prefer her to appeal and be acquitted on appeal or have her sentence shortened by lots. Or for new evidence to surface that proved her innocence.

Argonaut I have to disagree. There has been media reporting how she may be guilty. What media outlets do you consume? Just the commercial TV networks and the tele? What can you expect from them? On the front of the SMH and the Age the other day there was a story which explained why an...

ARGH I'm trying to write an essay (I have a 50% essay due on Tuesday and a 30% feature article, plus a 20% tute presentation on Monday) and him and his friends are off their face. I asked him if they could be quieter or party somewhere else and he was like "It's not my fault you left your paper...

Yeah ABC radio is pretty good too. I think a lot of people forget that commercial media is just like any other business.... it's based on supply and demand. If you don't want to watch news made to win ratings, then you have to switch to independent news sources. You can't really blame the...

I think it's really bad to say that you distrust all journalists after this. Maybe you should watch SBS and ABC news instead of the commercial networks. They were not engaged in this hype like the commercial channels... they reported the story, and that was that. I also thought that the...

Yes, she comes over as very crass, so does Mercedes. Schapelle is lucky that she comes over a little bit better on TV than the rest of her family.... She was very very stupid to sell her rights to Channel 9 in my opinion. She should be wanting to get her voice out across as many networks...

Did anyone watch the thing on ACA with Schapelle's mother just now.... funny how simultaneously TT ran a story about what a "media beat up" the whole case was, even though TT has been a big contributor as well. Channel 9 in particular should be bitchslapped for their coverage of this.... it...

I'm not being apathetic towards the public.... the reasons I cited are the reasons why the Schapelle Corby Show is a ratings winner. The case may be different in parts of Sydney, but a lot of Australians live in fairly monocultural communities.... you only have to look at the support for One...

Yeah that figure is wrong, I think it was 14 Australians held in indonesian prisons. I think 153 is a global figure. A prisoner exchange deal should help more of them than just Schapelle. There are several reasons why this case has particularly kicked off the media bandwagon, and risen to...

Omigawd that is lyke so cool... i luv the spice girls geri is my fav she is so cool with that dress with the flag but posh is just a bitch where can i get tix for the show? Just kidding.

I don't know if she is innocent or guilty.... however I don't think that there was enough evidence to convict her and she should have been acquitted. Whoever bought up the Japanese prostitute thing, that is incorrect..... she was actually married to a Japanese man for several years, and...

20 years.... that's as long as I have lived so far. It sucks. If they had to find her guilty based on their legal system, why couldn't they have given her 2 years? 5 years? But 20? For bringing in drugs that they can't really prove are hers? Over here 20 years is what we give someone who...

Evan didn't do a very good job with that lady, he was too defensive. He could have had her eating out of the palm of his hand if he did it the right way, because she wasn't really aggro or anything, but instead he got his back up. But I also think she was being unreasonable about them being...

Oh poor Gretchen looks like she gets hurt next week.... the oldies are doing pretty ok really, staying in it so long. That son in the mother son team was so annoying.... so pessimistic and whingey.
