Could someone please explain how you'd go about answering this? It's from the 2016 HSC Statement 1:
Aboriginal stories allow for change.
Statement 2: Contemporary Aboriginal ceremonies can differ from those in the past.
Which of the following is correct?
(A) Both statements are true.
(B) Both statements are false.
(C) Statement 1 is false and statement 2 is true.
(D) Statement 1 is true and statement 2 is false.

Made no sense to me either haha! An answer/ideas from anyone would be good Especially for statement 1

So my school does Buddhism and Islam, and the personality they chose for Islam is super obscure.
I was unwell for the time they studied Sayyid Qutb, so I don't really have any notes on him, and definitely can't find any on the net.

What do I do? It's probably too late to learn new stuff sooo...?

Yeah statement 1 was the most confusing. The answer is supposed to be that they are both true. I can understand how statement 2 would be true, as dispossession has resulted in the loss of oral traditions and ceremonies, so inevitably they wouldn't be the same as they are now. But yeah the problem still lingers with statement 1, really confusing =/

The only thing I could think for statement 1 being true is that Aboriginal Spiritual beliefs about creation are meta-temporal- meaning they transcend time and incorporate the past, present AND future. Because the future is always subject to change, stories would have to allow for change as well. Hope this helps

how much will it affect us if we don't have correct scriptural references for our quotes? I'm finding it really hard to remember/even find Quran references
thanks

Hi, could someone please explain to me why the answer is D? I thought Pentecostal was a denomination on their own rather than separate... didn't they merge in 2000 to be australian christian churches?

Does anyone have copies of HSC papers without 'Awaiting copyright'?!?
This is pissing me off.

Here you go - I learnt something myself!: Pentecostalism is not a church in itself, but a movement that includes many different churches. It is also a movement of renewal or revival within other denominations.

Hey everyone, can someone quickly go through the Native Title Amendment Act 1998?
