How did you go?

[ThyJovan]

what did you guys talk about for the section 109 question? Does it restrict states ?

It does to an extend but did you have to talk about residual powers? wasnt sure how to get full marks for that one

Had to mention exclusive powers.

You should of talked about inconsistency in the laws for concurrent power, so the state law found to be inconsistent the commonwealth law will prevail over state law to the extent of that inconsistency.

I found the 109 one difficult as well. I ended up just saying what Section 109 does and basically repeating it in different words haha.

[RockyStarPro]

Ahh crap, I included sections 114 and 115 as a restriction on states power. But didn't mention exclusive powers

Really curious as to what the 10 mark question was, glad to see many of you thought it was easy, hopefully that trend continues through next year!

[Dejan]

So do most people think it was easier than last years? What was the 10 marker? (did it last year)

Yes for me I really did. Can't remember whole question about it was about structural protection of rights and to what extent are rights protected, and you have to refer to a high court interpretation

someting on the lines of structural protection of rights and to what extent are rights protected, and you have to refer to a high court interpretation about a case that protected rights

With the first question on royal assent/proclamation I spoke to my tutor who is an examiner he said that it was a tricky question and VCAA could accept both responses however, it leans towards being proclamation as royal assent is not proclaimed in the Gazette. And, the Gazette does not need to mention the date of operation - if it is not mentioned, it comes into operation 28 days after the Assent was given which is why the date of Assent was stated in the extract.

I don't think you had to mention exclusive powers because it talked about the restriction on the states, and even though exclusive powers are only exerciseable by the commonwealth, it does not related to section 109.

I really sure you have to mention concurrent powers

[akmaljamal]

just talk about concurrent powers and inconsistency, then to make your argument stronger discuss how it is used eg tas dams.

[ktrah]

Wasn't the last question about Section 128 and how the Constitution protects human rights? I don't remember it stating specifically structural protections, although it would be good to talk about them. Also it asked for a high court case about rights.

[akmaljamal]

it didn't specifically say human or structural it said rights in australia.
