Hi! I just realised I have missed this question "assess the roles of alternative methods of sentencing" from the syllabus!! What exactly is this and what would I need to talk about? Thank you!

Hey, so I guess it means to discuss the regular (court) method of sentencing as well as circle sentencing and restorative justice and talk about whether you think one is more effective than the other, when each method is used and why, etc. Hope that helps a little?

OH MY GOODNESS BLESS YOUR ANGELIC SOUL!!!!! <3

I feel your pain honestly... I've shared a google document with my class, would you like to check it out?

thanks for that, for some reason i could only get on to it and i couldnt log in 
but it all looks pretty amazing so far... only thing i did notice is remember that the workplace health and safety act 2011 replaced the occupational health and safety act 2000 <i think i noticed that you had talked about OHS somewhere, i may be wrong tho  >

Circle Sentencing and Restorative Justice

Circle Sentencing is for adult indigenous Australians and has the full sentencing powers of the court, but is based on traditional methods of dispute resolution and Indigenous Customary Law. Restorative Justice is bringing together the offender and the victim, it gives the victim the opportunity to voice their experience and the offender can take responsibility for their actions. This first began in Wagga in 1991

Certain things absolutely. Domestic violence itself is no law reform - but the way that evidence is delivered can absolutely be seen as law reform, and there's plenty of media articles from around 2015 onwards pushing for more changes regarding domestic violence, especially lead by Rosie Battie. So you might find some things there!

GOOD LUCK TOMORROW

WOOOHOOO! Good luck and good night everyone. I'll be on tomorrow to put the answers to the paper up and to chat about the exam

Hey, yeah so basically I split it into legal and non-legal, but since I couldn't find enough for the new Act in regards to legal, I just had a paragraph on what the old Act was, and then what differences the new Act brought.

I honestly have 15-25+ LCMID per essay planned and am trying to memorise it all, Ive done pretty well but there’s still a few I can’t remember because of course it’s heaps of stuff but it’s freakin me a little ahh!!

Should I try focus on really memorising the predicted things, and then a little less for others? Or equal for everything

For workplace, would you be able to discuss forced retirement for the contemporary issue of "leave" - its a stretch i know but im desperate
Also, do industrial awards cover minimum safety in the workplace?

OMG I'm literally thinking the same thing like I have so much to memorise and I'm bargaining with myself not to do it :/

[bimberfairy]

Hi guys! For the Option topics (I'm doing Workplace and Family), do they always have at least one of the questions related to the contemporary issues?

hey guys
i was wondering - does sanction sfall under the use of force or persuation?
lol im sooo confused

thank you

Persuasion!

Hey

For world order, what are some good points/arguments to make about rules regarding hostilities or international humanitarian law?
Kinda stumped on this one with legislation or treaties other than Hague/Geneva C.

Those would be your main two, you could bring in nuclear pretty easily, perhaps bring in some examples of recent interstate and intrastate conflicts? In general I normally argue that the rules are ineffective at preventing loss of life and the collapse of peace and security - Plenty of examples to back that up

can trade unions be used as a non-legal measure to force companies to comply with the law?

Yes

prediction for shelter?
