I have a disturbing passion for contract law ;) As for "his responsibility to do it," that isn't a legal principle - you have to argue using the law, not arbitrary assertions based on... some sort of moral position or what not

This is a common misconception typical of the layperson who is not aware of either (a) the detailed facts of the case or (b) the complexities of legal reasoning. As I've said before, you have a black-box view of the justice system. You only see the inputs and the outputs, but the process is...

You must fit each problem into a relevant category -- look for what the issues are. The focus of this question is consideration. Firstly, the second contract is not a unilateral contract, don't look at it like that. A promised to pay $500 to B -- but there is no consideration here. A...

"The basis of a democratic state is liberty" - Aristotle. Both liberal and democratic considerations are important, not simply the common good. Without society, in the state of nature, we are all free. It goes without saying that freedom is a good thing which wish to have as much of as...

no don't revive this pointless thread... go share a joint with Bobby

I am positive. They do fluctuate from year to year, and they can be higher, but more often than not they should be lower Eg. the NRSL law cutoff at USYD a couple of years ago was 96.x

Generally NRSL cut-offs are lower, not higher.

People like you are the reason we have representative democracy.

I think the only way the argument works is if 'the common good' is used as a moral term; to say otherwise is to suggest what is popular is the common good, and that can hardly be justified

Nah you're right, the white post BG after the layout change was a light blue-purple colour, now it's white.

A march against unions? :)

You can't change them but you can corner them by severing off the flawed parts of their argument, which ideally will narrow the frame of the argument to your own terms. I've battered him down a couple of times but likewise I find it tiring arguing with him Which is good really. I like a...

Here we see the discrepency in our thinking. You asked why I was a Liberal supporter, given my stances on abortion, agnosticism, gay marriage, etc. It turns on the fact that I place greater priority on individual, or private rights, than you do; your concern being moreso the common good, as...

As humorous as that comment is... in truth Nelson's objectives have been fundamentally based on freedom of association, rather than some sort of semantic slag-fest stemming from Liberal party hatred of unions

That seems true, however I doubt unis would simply take the bullet for the students - continued breach of the legislation might compel the courts to put an injunction upon the unis to stop them and the unis wouldn't dare go against a court ordered injunction.

For breaching the act, the loss to each uni would be approximately USYD - $3.18 million UNSW - $2.72 million

I'm sorry but I just see USU as an unnecessary infringment on our rights to choose.

How many students are at each uni?

I don't think society is going to be too troubled when the soccer team doesn't get new shorts this year.

lol leave the poor man alone, he's gone through enough sacrifice for his team (I hope they won) I remember in 2004 we lost points because of "unwanted sexual advances" towards the judges :(
