Not what the Government wants. It's what the people expect of the Government. And 95% of people, according to a recent NineMSN poll, want flag burning banned in this country. I am not in that 95%, but I do understand and agree with the sentiment.

I don't understand a word you just said.

I wrote an entire article on this issue once. I received backlash no end for it, because I promoted the idea that gender politics (the concept that a political position is both beneficial and supported by ALL people of a particular gender) benefitted neither men nor women. Men are from Earth...

I transferred from the BMus (Comp.) to the BABMusStudies because my ambitions for after university don't include Composition as a career path. In the BA, I am completing a second music major, and a Politics major - which suits me a lot better than a straight Composition degree. And I'm not...

I hate the idea that a person must be a member of a political party to have any influence. It reminds me of something Alex Mustafa (former President of the Labor Society (Labor Left) at USYD) once said, calling me a "scab" for not toeing the Labor Party line - and it's a sentiment I completely...

You won't get far in the Party with that attitude.

I think we need a new flag.

Fortunately I've never had those sorts of problems. Yet. In first and second year, the furthest I had to walk from class to class, class to coffee, or class/coffee to library was 15 metres. Oh, except in 2004.

Well, that's the thing. Will the new Supreme court recognise the precedent of Roe v Wade, or will they overturn it?

They don't have control over the woman's body. They do, however, have a duty to protect the lives in their state.

I am NOT a member of the SULC.

They're going with the lesser of two evils. To them, IT'S STILL MURDER, whether or not the child was wanted or not.

I don't agree with applying the rule of no abortions on everybody. It's too charged and controversial a situation just to apply a blanket ban. But I don't see a problem with their ethics. They aren't putting the rights of the unborn child ahead of the mother - they're applying the same right to...

You forget, pro-lifers consider (rightfully) that the unborn child is still a human life entitled to the same rights as anybody else. Are you suggesting that these people should just stand back and allow what they consider to be murder, just to make it easier for a few femocrats to sleep at...

How the hell should I know? I've only been endlessly criticising the SRC for three years. With the exception of "Casework", it's obvious the SRC has lost the proverbial plot. I have no confidence in our so-called "elected" representatives, and I call upon all students to join the ISA's call for...

Personally I haven't been too impressed with some of the Encore compositions I've heard in the past. The key to writing a good composition is to have a clear understanding of what you want to achieve, and the best way to do that is to plan it all out before you start, by choosing the techniques...

I know somebody who attempted three degrees at the same time. She went completely insane. Literally.

She's hotter in person than Rose Jackson is. And that's what brings in the votes. LARA for President!

This is an excerpt from the O-week edition of The Update: Point | Counterpoint The Issue: Flag Burning At O-week festivities, the activist group Resistance is selling a $5 “Flag burning kit” containing an Australian flag, a lighter, and a flyer with information on Resistance activities...

I just can't come to terms with the idea that one can burn the Australian flag, but still respect the values of the nation it represents. How can a person justify lighting an Australian flag on fire? And more importantly how can Resistance expect to sell flag-burning kits and preserve the...
