How did everyone go?

oh okayy, well sorry about that then 

i just thought thats what my teacher said

They wouldn't make it so obscure... it has to be the most obvious answer. The most obvious answer is to decrease spending and increase taxes...

For the 'explain two government policy actions which are designed to achieve a more equitable distribution of personal income in Australia' question, did that require a therorictal answer (i.e. progressive tax system and redistribution of goods/services) or specific examples (e.g. increase in pension) or either one of them?

^ I used both, and dam me =(
So u are correct

I KNEW from back to front about the pension, but when I went into the exam IT DID NOT OCCUR TO ME!!! I talked about

1= tax cuts

2= Funding to construct public housing

Now I am worried I sued to much of a silly answer for part 2.....since pension would have been a wiser choice =(

Nova I used the two theoretical answers (progressive tax system and redistribution of goods/services), do you think I could still get full marks for the question?

Um, can you elaborate to me what you wrote for redistribution of g+s?

Becausr your FIRST point regarding progressive tax....IS a redistribution of income. However, u may have done a good job and differentiated.

I have a feeling both ur answers could sound similar, HOWEVER, they are both right, just tell me what u rote for yr second.

I'm pretty sure I differentiated them pretty well in the exam, but I have forgotten my reasoning now. I'm really scared atm that the examiners were wanting a response on specific initatives/budget stuff that improved equity over the last few years

Don't worry, in using a theoritical/textbook answer, it is STILL AN ANSWER.

Many only recommend using specific stuff to stand out more/look like you're up to date.

Your answers were still a Government policy...remember it did not ask specifically for BUDGETARY, but rather Government, your two examples are interventions, so u answered the question and could very well get full marks
