A. I worked in discussion about the new parliamentry numbers and how that could lead to watering down of legislation of benefit to the majority in order to please those 4 or 5 men. Or something along those lines XD

A, I talked about Joh Bjelke-Peterson, new parliamentry make up, Mabo (then realised that it didn't quite fit what the question was asking, so I added a paragraph at the end about trigwell), In futro, resources etc.

The B question was realy good this year, I would have chosen that if I had studied each equaly, but I had done A in every practice exam, so I did A... which was still a nice question.

B. Did so many practise question, and got 10/10 for the EXACT some question in my Sac so was very happy.

They said one reform, but I had plenty of time so did one for reach paragraph so the examiner has a pick of all the reforms.

I loved this exam, so much time,so I wrote the essay over 40 minutes, and still had twenty minutes to check and add to my questions.

Looking back, will I be penalised for including more reforms?

You don't get penalized for adding information, however, you will only be marked on what they specified. E.g If they asked you for two reforms, if you wrote three, they wont mark you down, but will only take into account two.

i think more specifically, they will read the first two reforms and not even look at the third, even if the third one was better

I did this last year and it was quite long, IMO. I wonder how it was this year...
I think it was at the same standard maybe a little easier if anything. Hope I did good ;)
