National Politics '10
xXNovaxX:
In regards to the textbook we didn't use a particular one, I personally went and bought
The Indigo handbook for national politics / Rod Wise. (it's mroe like a study guide, really good but skips a lot/doesnt go into detail, so you need to COMPLIMENT IT with another)
Power and national politics : VCE National Politics unit 3 & 4 / Paul Gilby ; content editor Maryellen Davidson.
Good, detailed, and practically the only "textbook" available in Victoria for National Politics.
The key to success is to do your OWN research and get your own NOTES.
Because you use the textbook for about 2/3 of the course, the rest involves you choosing a DOMESTIC policy, and a FOREIGN policy....this is where your own notes, video viewing, news watching, internet research come in handy
Nic K:
I'm just wondering what people who did National this year studied as their suggested area of change for 'Continuity and change'?
Also, what the Senate being removed from Parliament and the fact that although its purpose has changed, it should not be removed an area of change that can be studied? Or is it better to be broader and study Parliament in general?
schmalex:
You no longer have to study a suggested area of change, you study all of them. You have to study one aspect of domestic policy though. I studied the issue of our treatment of refugees, then realised it was too broad and switched to the ETS at the last minute.
Nic K:
Oh. But our SAC for that task is an essay on one suggested area of change. Would what I suggested be a suitable area?
I look forward to the domestic policy topic :D That will be my favourite area of study I reckon.

--- End quote ---
Foreign Policy was my favorite area, domestic was too, it gives so much freedom.
Suggested area of change can include
-Lowering the voting age
-Removing compulsory voting
-Having fixed elections instead of allowing the Gov to call an election when it suits them.
I hope they help, I will upload some more in the sticky thread 2morrow I think.
