The constitutional convention started a very long process that involved a lot of compromises that helped set the constitution the way it is now.

The technology used to murder becomes symbolic of both the corruption Day believes to be at the heart of modern Australian society, or perhaps all of western society, but also the negative possibilities of technological progress in general. Harry’s voice here matches Claudia’s in its abruptness but here Day emphasises the power and control her antagonist believes he possesses. The city of Sydney, a corrupt and immoral underbelly hiding behind another beautiful façade, becomes one of Harry’s possessions in the extended metaphor Day constructs as part of his distinctive voice: ‘It is a circuit board, the microchip buildings connected by filament roads. My address in the city is The Beehive’. Through her use of the language of computing, novel for the time she was writing, Day elaborates on both the control Harry can wield as the figurehead of corruption in the city and the insidious way in which technology has come to dominate our lives.
[Type the company name] | Bacon’s Rebellion | True Origins | Colonial America | 4/11/2012 | Despite popular belief on the origin of Bacon’s Rebellion other leading factors played an important role in the events leading up to the revolt; Economic, social, foreign rule/representation and local disturbance. | Taking place almost three hundred and thirty-five years ago, Bacons Rebellion still remains an overwhelmingly controversial subject in the history of early English colonization. One of the areas under discussion that is more often disputed than others is the particular factor, or factors that potentially led up to the famed uprising.

Reporter Sarah Stillman wrote an interesting article, The Throwaways, on the use of confidential informants in the justice system, in which she spoke of the “unfair use” and dangers they endure. What she lacked to explain are the uses of the confidential informants and how completely necessary they are in government activities and procedures when dealing with narcotics and terrorism. There is a legitimate use of confidential informants in the narcotics and terrorism divisions of the justice system that gets undermined by the incorrect assumption that confidential informants do not know the dangers of the undercover work they agree to do. A confidential informant is anyone who supplies beneficial and plausible information in regards to felonious criminal activities, and whom the Justice Law Enforcement Agency presumes they will use again to acquire more information in regards to the same incidents in the future (Criminal Law). Confidential informants are prompted by self-betterment (Unnecessary Evil).
