Got invited to dinner with my roommates tonight, specifically a state of origin night at the pub, qld vs nsw (blues vs maroons if you're actually into the sport)
I have never actually been in the room with a large number of people who are heavily invested in whatever sport is being played on the screen before. I can kind of understand the appeal, everyone yelling at their blorbos in unison and cheering is pretty fun
#left early with my friend tho cause while i wanted to stay i didnt want to stay for like the 3 hours this game is gonna take lol#skip talks#shout out to any other aussies watching state of origin tonight. i hope ur team wins

Hi, Kirri! I'm from South America and I'm trying to do a research about australian high school. I would like you to clarify some questions I have about school subjects, like: which ones are optional and which are mandatory? also, if you could send me some reliable websites than i can look up. every website i see says something different, can be very confusing so I decided to ask a australian person. Thank you!!!!
Hi, hey, i've been summoned! Okay, i'll admit to you upfront, it's been a hot minute since I was in high school so my knowledge is partly from personal experience but also what is published online. The school structures and curriculum differs from state to state, so it's no wonder you had trouble finding clear answers. I'll try to explain simply:
Australian high schools run from years 7 to 12. (We actually have 13 school years in total including Kindergarten, or preparatory, which is not numbered.) Students can finish in year 10 if they choose not to complete their senior years and test for university entry. If a student finishes in year 10, they get a Record of School Achievement; if they finish senior studies, they get a certificate of education depending on which state they're in:
NSW - Higher School Certificate (HSC)
VIC - Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE)/Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL)
QLD - Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE), Queensland Certificate of Individual Achievement (QCIA)
SA - South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE)
WA - West Australian Certificate of Education (WACE)
TAS - Tasmanian Certificate of Education (TCE)
ACT - Australian Capital Territory Senior Secondary Certificate (ACT SSC)
NT - Northern Territory Certificate of Education (NTCE)
The national curriculum has eight compulsory learning areas, which can be categorized into subjects:
Then there are a wide range of electives, which vary greatly depending on region, type of school (state-funded vs private/faith-based) etc. Students in years 9 and 10 typically choose three electives. Here is an example of electives available to a school in NSW.
In addition, many schools offer the opportunity to study a vocational (often trade-based) course in preparation for studies after high school, called TVET (TAFE-delivered Vocational Education and Training). Many of these course results in credits toward school outcomes. I guess you could say that TAFE to Australia is like community college to the US.
The school year is broken up into four 'terms', with dates varying between states (see links at end for a list). A typical school day goes from 8:45am to 3:00pm Monday to Friday, with breaks for recess and lunch between period. A 'period' = one class, which typically runs for 40 minutes.
Upon completing senior studies and final exams, students are given an ATAR (Australian Tertiary Admission Rank), which they can use to select and be admitted to university. In fact, senior exams have just begun so it's a good time to keep an eye on social media and see how current students are talking about the experience! 'ATAR Day' (when rankings are released) is on December 14, another time to take a look.
Australia also has specialist high schools, such as creative and performing arts schools, intensive English centres (for students with English as a second language), sports schools, and technology schools. All of these must teach the compulsory subjects, but offer the chance to specialize in these areas.
Websites where you can learn more about the Australian curriculum:
Australian Curriculum Version 9.0 Australian Schools Directory
Study Australia
ACARA (for statistics)
TVET
ATAR
Hopefully that will help you! I hope you don't mind that I posted this answer but I thought it might be useful to others as well. If you have any other questions, go ahead and ask and i'll do my best!

State of Origin 2019
((State of Origin is a big annual rugby game between Queensland (Maroons) and New South Wales (Blues). Most people have heard of it and it has quite the following in those two states.))
Three times a year, every year, Australia and all his mircronations gathered to watch the state of origin. For them, it was mostly just a chance to catch up and have a bit of fun. They always did scissors, paper, rock to find out who was going for whom each year.
It was a good opportunity to bag out each other and encourage friendly rivalry.
This year, Wy decided to make a little bet with Australia. He was going for New South Wales this year and she was dubbed a Queenslander.
"Nah, nah, nah. The blues have a much better line up this year than you lot." Australia was arguing.
Wy raised an eyebrow, "That may be the case, but we let you win last year. Queensland'll absolutely take the series out this time."
Australia scoffed, "Wanna bet?"
"Sure." Wy smirked. "Loser dyes their hair the winners colours."
Hutt River gasped, "Wy! Blue wouldn't look nice in your hair!"
"Shut it, Hutt. I'm not gonna have it anyway because Queensland is gonna win."
Wy's words were almost prophetic. Queensland did indeed win that first game. But origin is best of three, which Australia reminded her of constantly. He also kept going on and on and on about how close the score was.
"Only four points difference!"
The time for the next game rolled around and once again the Australians gathered around to watch the game.
The score was 38 - 6. Queensland got absolutely, positively smashed. And if she was being completely honest, Wy thought QLD didn't deserve the one try they got.
"Getting worried there, Wy? I reckon you'll look nice with blue hair!" Australia taunted relentlessly.
The third game fast approached, and Wy was getting slightly worried. It was an intense game.
They ended the first half at eight all.
The second half was even more intense.
Penalties everywhere.
It looked close.
Full time was closer and closer.
There was 5 minutes left.
Four.
Three.
Two.
Someone had to do something.
Thirty seconds left.
And shit.
"Suck it, Wy!"
New South Wales won, 26 - 20. And now Wy had to dye her hair blue. Yippee.
#nerd2614#aph australia#aph Wy#State of Origin#NSW#QLD#Blues vs Maroons#I'm Wy in this situation#I don't really care about footy but I ALWAYS watch origin#I'm originally from QLD but my whole family is NSW#((except my brother))#so I get teased a LOT#I dyed my hair today because the game was last night#I had to use 2 tubes because it would not stick#if anyone wants I'll reblog with a (really bad) pic of it#the dye was $5 btw because I'm a cheapskate#11.07.19

Blatantly Partisan Party Review XXV (federal 2022): Socialist Alliance
Running where: NSW, QLD, VIC, WA
Prior reviews: federal 2016, NSW 2019, federal 2019
What I said before: “This is quintessential ‘people before profit’ stuff: tax corporations, nationalise things, and make policy for the betterment of the population rather than maximising profit for private companies.”
What I think this year: Socialism in Australia has been notoriously fractious, especially in recent decades. In 2019, in an attempt to counter this, Socialist Alliance (SAll) participated in the state-level Victorian Socialists (VS; 2019 review, 2022 review to come) in an attempt to present a united front with other groups. This included Socialist Alternative (SAlt), who had previously eschewed electoral politics and focused heavily on uni campus organising. Unfortunately, in 2020, SAll walked away from from VS.
I have no particular inside line on the rights or wrongs of the SAll/VS split. SAll have set out their perspective here, arguing that “we no longer feel that the Victorian Socialist project is capable of uniting broader layers of socialists”. I am unaware of an official VS statement. The vibe I have got from asking around, and from observing online discussion, is that VS are just as annoyed at SAll for walking away. I suspect this dispute is cross-cut by generational, ideological, and state-based reasons. To me, the most disappointing thing about leftist and particularly socialist politics in Australia over the last few decades is how fragmented it has been, and this is yet another example.
But if I put aside that disappointment, what do they want? Socialist Alliance is the straightforward socialist fare you know and (maybe) love from past elections. They have a strong environmental angle: their 2022 federal election slogan is not simply “for people before profit” but “for people and planet before profit”. They demand system change—i.e. socialism via electoral politics—rather than climate change. To them, covid-19 and climate change are twin crises that expose the Australian government prioritising billionaires. Climate change, yes, you won’t see me disagreeing that our sluggish response is to protect the likes of mining magnates, but on covid-19, Australia frankly has performed very well. SAll has a legitimate criticism that working people have been hardest hit, and other important criticisms can be made, but there was nonetheless a sense of (at least state-based) solidarity that has led to some of the very best health outcomes on the planet. So I dunno, I feel some of this content is a bit “this current crisis is actually all about our core issue” over-reach.
Anyway, enough of me criticising their election pitch, because if I am honest with you, I am a stereotypical watermelon: green on the outside, red on the inside. And SAll offer pretty watermelon policies. They are strong on climate, demanding drastically increased taxation on wealthy elites to fund an emergency transition to renewable energy, a sustainable economy, and a prominent role for Indigenous peoples in restoring and caring for Country. As you might expect, they are keen on nationalising things, a large welfare state, removing anti-union laws, accepting refugees, a guaranteed livable income, gender equality, free tertiary education—you name it. Their First Nations policies appear to echo ideals of the Uluru Statement but it is unclear to me if they specifically support the Statement and its process.
Once you start digging into their policies, you’ll find that if you are sympathetic towards socialism or social democracy, you will broadly agree with the contours. You will also find they have a bit of a grab-bag of ideas, some of which you'll really like and others that leave you much less enthused. For me, they back something I very much want: parliament being reformed to have proportional representation. But they also support a governmental reform I dislike: all governments subject to a recall election if a petition is signed by 10% of the electorate. I think in principle these measures are liable to abuse and instability, and with such a low threshold it definitely is.
All in all, a good, but not great, socialist option.
My recommendation: Give Socialist Alliance a good preference.
(not Socialist Alternative, as I originally wrote, and which one commenter pointed out. SAlt are not on the ballot! They are involved in Victorian Socialists, a review of whom is coming shortly; I confess I have spent my whole life since starting uni writing SAlt's name when I meant SAll and vice versa)

This election is stressing me out and I’m all the way over in Australia. I don’t know how people deal with this long drawn out election campaign and all of the voter suppression that happens. If there is one thing that I truly appreciate about Australia it is the ease of voting, even if I don’t agree with the results recently.
I know I am the same! And the system there is so confusing compared to us because here we are all required to register and vote if we are over 18, and if you don’t you do get a fine, but not a major penalty, you can choose to easily vote either by mail-in/ pre-poll voting/voting on the day, and all our polling places are easily accessed, usually at primary schools or town halls and the lines are never long, and if you are waiting there are always fundraising stalls to get food like the good old democracy sausage sizzle lol. I really do appreciate the voting system here, even if I don’t agree with the government elected.
Everyone’s voice is heard, the election campaign is only like 2 months long and we vote for the party and their policies, not for the face of the party, which, lately, with the amount of US politics on tv I think a lot of people that don’t pay attention to politics don’t realise, hence last election, with all the anti-bill shorten shit in the media people voted against him, even though he wasn’t even that bad, and voted for scomo, when really they should have been looking at labor vs liberal/national.... and clearly labor is always the better choice, but anywayyy when we get to vote scomo and the libs out next election then we will win. at least labor won in QLD and I am sure marko has secured his next term here in WA with how he and the government have handled the pandemic. And let’s hope Gladys gets the boot in NSW lol.
Okay that was a lot of auspol in a thing in relation to us politics, but all of that is to say I am glad we have the voting system that we have because theirs seems so complicated and especially with this election like they don’t want to here what everyone has to say, i really don’t understand the non-compulsory voting thing, i really don’t, when you have such a big population and so little of it voting it makes no sense.
I just hope the turn out this year is big and votes the right way and gets trump out of office, and even though i know we’ll still be hearing about it until january at least, i’ll be happy when the campaigning is finally over, and hopefully, i can stop seeing trump in every news program on tv.
to my US followers please stay safe if you are voting on the day, good luck!
#the only thing i hate is that we had like 5 PMs in like 7 years bc the leader isn't permanent and doesn't need to be voted on#politics#auspol#us politics#ask#Anonymous
