constitutional power

Filed under: Uni work — carriec @ 5:56 am

So the PM has ruled a referendum on the industrial relations policy.

Quoting from the australian, “Mr Howard said the ruling had not given the commonwealth any extra power but had just reaffirmed the powers it already had”.

So! my case is: the PM DOES has the power to decide whether he wants a policy to be under the public scrutiny, on the public agenda and the policy outcome to be decided by the public.

why had my tutor mark me down on this. could only be one reason then.

bloody hell. so I DO know my work.

i’ll keep my cool.♥

Why Blog

Filed under: Uni work — carriec @ 12:26 am

Blogs. What’s the hooha of blogging? Why is everyone so hyped up over blogging?

  1. To boast to the world my fantastic life?
  2. To tell loved ones how I feel and what i’m doing?
  3. To be a closet journalist (& probably risk the job of the professional journalists?)
  4. An outlet to say what I think about everything

I’ll choose the 4th.

Here, I can talk and crap about anything and nobody can raise their palms up and scream “Urgh, Talk to my hand!”.

Not that I have experience much of that. I am quite an interesting person, you know? HAHA

On a side note, I welcome negative and positive comments because it will make mine (and yours) blogging experience an interesting one.

I have digressed.

Once in a while, I’ll read random and friend’s blogs to find out about their life, I reckon it’s a way to be updated on our friends lives, what’s with the hustle of everyday lives.

 

Also, Blogs allow me to gather general knowledge which I wouldnt have knew unless I read the newspaper? or research.

  • What you can and can’t blog about (from who got jailed/fined because of what they blogged about)
  • Why Gingko nuts are good for memory
  • Is UQ a good uni (from existing and past UQ students’ entries about UQ uni life)
  • What courses are difficult (from the curses and good comments about the course assignments)

Then again, from the perspective of a communication student; are these information credible? We can’t really take everything by face value. can we?
