Agree wholeheartedly, I have always hated quotas. It should be best person for the job, not best woman, best man best Aboriginal etc.

It has nothing to do with trust. It is about giving her the best learning environment we can and minimising distractions. As for attendance rates she has missed 4 days of school in 2 years, 2 days for illness, 2 days for funerals. Truancy is not an issue at her school, parents must call the...

I pretty much have the same view of the Naplan exams. I don't equate poor Naplan results with poor teaching. I use the results to judge the student cohort rather than teachers. When choosing high schools for our daughter we avoided ones with poor Naplan results, low attendance rates and low...

Been a pretty scary day, we are about 3kms from one of the major fires, but have family and friends right in the midst of it. The fireys done an amazing job as usual and many people are sleeping safely in their homes tonight because of their brave efforts. My thoughts are with the brave...

Seriously? You do know Tony Abbott hasn't even been sworn in yet right? Grasping at straws much? This happened on Kevins watch, not Tonys :)

Forget taxing them wish the govt would grow a set and just ban the damn things. It has always been about revenue raising, not health. Phase it in over the next 5-10 years that they are a prescription drug only to be prescribed to addicts and never to anyone under 18. There will be complications...

Can't wait for game 3, hoping for a whole new ball game from the blues because that was **** last night. They have to drop Merritt surely, he cost us dearly. The sin bin for punching is a load of crap, most people see a bit of biff as match highlights. Slater's elbow was more viscous than...

I had a bit of a weird altercation with with the police yesterday. Was driving out to meet hubby for lunch, driving along normally and sensibly with my toddler in the back and a highway patrol copper pulls alongside me as I am driving and yells out "you need to watch for traffic lights" I give...

I don't see the big deal. Don't want a defect, don't drive a defective car. Of course the police are going to be out in force when they hear about an event like this, it attracts defective vehicles. As for the it being for a good cause if I were a copper that would not deter me. Most people at...

haha nice to see I'm not the only one that uses a playpen to keep the kids out rather than in, nice effort.

I've got a shopping list of problems, not so much addictions but other issues which I won't go into right now but currently on a.ds and seeing a clinical pysch dealing with grief issues and depression. Just starting to get into cognitive behavioural therapy and starting to see a bit of a...

What no facebook whilst sitting at lights for 5 mins lol going to have to find a new way to entertain myself now

What a stupid slapper good to see her put in her place. Just out of curiosity, most the members here are blokes, what would you have done if you were one of the fellas who encountered this lovely young lady's charming behaviour? Any qualms about knocking this scrag on her arse?

Second to be taxed Julia Gillard's fat arse, that thing has its own postcode.

It is going to be a very very rare event for one standard alcoholic drink to kill someone. Maybe an allergic reaction but that can happen with anything. I think the issue is being confused here, no one has said that driving under the influence is a good idea, having a glass of wine at home with...

You can't really compare smoking cigarettes to drinking alcohol. Even just one smoke is bad for you and even if you smoke it near no one else others can still be negatively affected by your habit, the chemicals stay on your clothes, hair and skin and a certain percentage of the population can be...

I can't see it solving any problems, just like the failed alcopops tax but to be honest I don't give a toss if they introduce this, as a non drinker care factor about this = zero.

Got a letter today saying licence is about to expire and that they have a new scheme where if you haven't lost any demerit points in 5 years you may be eligible for a half price licence. How long has this been around (NSW)? this is a really great idea. I think it makes a lot of sense to be...

If you have a problem with someone's post in your thread and judging by your previous posts I would say that is the case you simply need to report that post and let mods/admin deal with it not start threads like this, its not the right way to go about things. Thread closed, use report button.

Not a fan of Hogs Breath and have been a to few of them actually last time we went we waited so effin long for our feed on dead weekday night we cracked the shits and left. Not too keen on franchise resauarant chains though do miss good old Lone Star where you woudl be ankle deep in peanut...

I just be polite and smile and most times I have been pulled over the kids are in the back and all excited by the police man lol I usually end up having a pleasant chat with them and get told to have a nice day/night. But then again I've never been stupid enough to get caught breaking any road...

We did it at school in year 9 or 10 I got 140 something. I haven't done an official test, don't see the point of wasting money for someone to tell you how intelligent or stupid you are. I don't think it means much anyway, some of the most intelligent 'book smart' types I have met are severely...

Man am I feeling torn atm with state politics. If an election were to be called now I would seriously not know who to vote for. On one hand we have labor who basically ####ed up the state and left the Liberal party with crap to clean up and in massive debt then we have Barry O'Farrell who is...

There is a service operating in Australia with wonderful volunteer photographers named Heartfelt Heartfelt : giving the gift of photographic memories - Home if you are on fb share their page: Heartfelt | Facebook I urge everyone to share this with their family/friends the more people that know...

ah crap that time of the year again already :( gay music annoying the **** out of me for hours on end, ########s driving around like total wankers, shops filled with lads and whore bags with tight gay fluoro clothes, every cop in penriff working overtime.... time for a weekend away I think but...

If that is an indication of her parking ability she doesn't deserve a real car :)

I see what you did there, it would be a bit like calling someone a ###tard ;)

The thing is though that those who do go and commit suicide after being subjected to online abuse probably aren't doing so just because someone is giving them a hard time on facebook or twitter. They usually have much bigger problems and the cyber bullying may just be the last straw. Depressed...

Wow I can't believe how much some of you are paying:hmmm: We are with Aami, currently paying $122.14 a month up from $108.32. We are in Western Sydney, we've got a large 4 bedroom dbl garage house with a large amount of contents coverage and some expensive jewellery covered. We also made a claim...

Im in two minds here society has evolved to a point where the internet plays a large role in the lives of a lot of people. Yes if someone is bullying them they should have the sense to log off and ignore the crap but why should they have to? If someone was sending you hate mail in the post and...

I've spent most of the past 3 years either pregnant or breastfeeding so zero for me!

I believe euthanasia should be legal. What right do we have to force our most vulnerable to live a life of misery and torture. If that was one of my loved ones who was in that awful situation and they clearly no longer wanted to suffer and wanted to be put our of their misery I would do...

Thanks everyone for yoru enquiries, these are now sold.

I wonder if they would let me take it for a test drive, just a little try before I buy trip down to the local bank or treasury.

We'll probably watch the taekwondo only because my daughter is really into it and has an ambition to make to olympic team for 2016/2020 otherwise only interested in the bloopers like when a cyclist takes down the whole pack or someone faceplants into a hurdle and stuff like that :D

This would be so much cooler and way less retarded looking.

Do cyclists belong on the road? Absolutely! I believe the correct terminology for them is roadkill.

It is very sad indeed but when I see old codgers like this working in security or weedy wimpy beanpoles or fat bastards who couldn't run more than 10 metres it makes me wonder what the hell are they thinking being in that line of work.
