Beggars can’t be Choosers.
In the world of activism, you realise quickly than any attention is good attention. It’s public relations 101; you literally are nothing until you’re talked about. The Kony 2012 video is the best example I have seen of that in a long time. Despite the fact that nothing in that video shocked me yet it was truly shocking to 90 percent of people. While to me and many of my... Read More
Editorial: We’re back baby!
Well, that went by quickly didn’t it? Within the space of three weeks, everyone has to have already gotten into the groove of things, gotten back into the study schedule, spent time buying a whole heap of useless stationary from Officeworks, cried for long nights over the money spent on textbooks no one will read and begun the usual complaints on lack of parking at the Parramatta...

HUNG.
Labor – 72 Coalition – 70 Independent – 3 Green – 1 In Doubt – 4 Australia faces weeks of political horse trading to determine the next government. We are entering an unprecedented period of instability that hasn’t been envisioned in this country for 70 years. What does this mean for us uni students?

Sex and Icecream
Let’s talk about sex. No seriously. The Australian Sex Party Story really grabbed my attention and not just because it involved a photo of a hot chick dressed in a skimpy costume brandishing a gun. I am seriously thinking about voting for the Australian Sex Party after reading Valeska’s story! At first they pull you in with sexy burlesque performers like Ms Stardust but once... Read More

Living for the Weekend
Living for the weekend As the working week (or perhaps we should refer to it as the studying week?) comes to a close, us uni kids are gearing up for the many riotous adventures that the glorious weekend promises. Lazy sleep-ins, swanning around the house in comfy pjs the whole day and drinking the night away only to end up in a supermarket trolley at 3am on a Sunday morning. Ahhh... Read More
