My friend is doing "Why religion should be banned".

Nuclear energy wouldn't be bad, considering all the Japan stuff was relatively recent...

What are you interested in? Do something that interests you, you will speak passionately then.
Last year, I went onto a tech forum and asked for some issues. I ended up speaking about anon and their crusades against PayPal, etc
Did pretty well, considering I am a terrible speaker

Have a look through this thread, there's a bunch of ideas in there.

English 3/4 2012 Oral SAC!

Remember that the issue you choose has to have been in the Australian media since September 2011

Haha that made me laugh. I go to a public school but have a lot of religious people in my class, it'll probably make a lot of people feel uncomfortable, annoyed and perhaps even angry if I decided to my oral on that. Goodluck to him though, very brave of him to attack religion in a religious environment.

I like this advice :) I did Wikileaks back in the day, something I was very interested in :)

There are many recent issues out there: QANTAS strikes, carbon tax, refugees/asylum seekers, pokie reform failure, etc.

If international ones are fine: the change in NK's "government", effects of some of the latest natural disasters, etc.

Depending on your school of course, but I'd say most schools would want a current and contentious issue, not something so broad :)

Do you guys think that SOPA is Australian enough, or is that risking it a bit? :/
