The suggestion is that it would not be compulsory for 16-18 year olds, but strongly encouraged. There are other countries around the world where this is the case. sue_moloney https://padlet.com/sue_moloney/cygarcif0z9ud5cx/wish/2201438843 2022-05-26 23:35:53 UTC https://padlet.com/sue_moloney/cygarcif0z9ud5cx/wish/2201438843 Background: Over the past year, the incidence of vaping amongst young people has risen significantly. Under the Public Health (Tobacco) Act 2008: It is illegal to sell e-cigarettes and accessories to or buy these products on behalf of a person under 18 years of age. E-cigarettes and accessories cannot be seen by the public, displayed or advertised anywhere inside or outside a retail shop, however this does not seem to be stopping the problem. sue_moloney https://padlet.com/sue_moloney/cygarcif0z9ud5cx/wish/2201444731 2022-05-26 23:44:46 UTC https://padlet.com/sue_moloney/cygarcif0z9ud5cx/wish/2201444731 Background: Despite some recent improvements in AFLW and tennis, men are still paid much more than women in terms of prize money and sponsorship. Calls continue to reduce, or eliminate this gap, so that the pay is equitable. sue_moloney https://padlet.com/sue_moloney/cygarcif0z9ud5cx/wish/2201447837 2022-05-26 23:47:30 UTC https://padlet.com/sue_moloney/cygarcif0z9ud5cx/wish/2201447837 Background: The increasing influence of platforms such as Tik Tok, Instagram, Snap Chat and others, is evident especially as young people try to live up to unrealistic images they see here. There have been assertions that young people are distracted and heavily influence by the latest trends. sue_moloney https://padlet.com/sue_moloney/cygarcif0z9ud5cx/wish/2201450464 2022-05-26 23:50:36 UTC https://padlet.com/sue_moloney/cygarcif0z9ud5cx/wish/2201450464 sue_moloney https://padlet.com/sue_moloney/cygarcif0z9ud5cx/wish/2201459248 2022-05-27 00:01:30 UTC https://padlet.com/sue_moloney/cygarcif0z9ud5cx/wish/2201459248 Learning task - Week 7-8 sue_moloney https://padlet.com/sue_moloney/cygarcif0z9ud5cx/wish/2201460519 Create your own blog, persuading a particular audience about one of the topics provided. ]]> 2022-05-27 00:03:02 UTC https://padlet.com/sue_moloney/cygarcif0z9ud5cx/wish/2201460519 Resources sue_moloney https://padlet.com/sue_moloney/cygarcif0z9ud5cx/wish/2201461443 https://theconversation.com/at-16-australians-can-drive-work-and-apply-for-the-army-so-why-cant-they-vote-177370]]> 2022-05-27 00:04:10 UTC https://padlet.com/sue_moloney/cygarcif0z9ud5cx/wish/2201461443 sue_moloney https://padlet.com/sue_moloney/cygarcif0z9ud5cx/wish/2201462293 https://www.westernsydney.edu.au/newscentre/news_centre/story_archive/2019/we_asked_five_experts_should_australia_lower_the_voting_age_to_16]]> 2022-05-27 00:05:19 UTC https://padlet.com/sue_moloney/cygarcif0z9ud5cx/wish/2201462293 sue_moloney https://padlet.com/sue_moloney/cygarcif0z9ud5cx/wish/2201474098 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYxS6Ud989U]]> 2022-05-27 00:18:05 UTC https://padlet.com/sue_moloney/cygarcif0z9ud5cx/wish/2201474098 sue_moloney https://padlet.com/sue_moloney/cygarcif0z9ud5cx/wish/2201475337 https://thenewdaily.com.au/news/national/2021/10/09/vaping-laws-import-ban/]]> 2022-05-27 00:19:18 UTC https://padlet.com/sue_moloney/cygarcif0z9ud5cx/wish/2201475337 sue_moloney https://padlet.com/sue_moloney/cygarcif0z9ud5cx/wish/2201476433 https://www.quit.org.au/articles/teenvaping/]]> 2022-05-27 00:20:23 UTC https://padlet.com/sue_moloney/cygarcif0z9ud5cx/wish/2201476433 sue_moloney https://padlet.com/sue_moloney/cygarcif0z9ud5cx/wish/2201477049 https://www.abc.net.au/news/health/2022-04-07/vaping-causes-harm-addiction-new-generation-users-report-warns/100970768]]> 2022-05-27 00:20:58 UTC https://padlet.com/sue_moloney/cygarcif0z9ud5cx/wish/2201477049 sue_moloney https://padlet.com/sue_moloney/cygarcif0z9ud5cx/wish/2201478129 https://www.upstart.net.au/team-sports-revenue-and-the-gender-pay-gap/]]> 2022-05-27 00:22:04 UTC https://padlet.com/sue_moloney/cygarcif0z9ud5cx/wish/2201478129 sue_moloney https://padlet.com/sue_moloney/cygarcif0z9ud5cx/wish/2201479259 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXSUBOTt-Gg]]> 2022-05-27 00:23:12 UTC https://padlet.com/sue_moloney/cygarcif0z9ud5cx/wish/2201479259 sue_moloney https://padlet.com/sue_moloney/cygarcif0z9ud5cx/wish/2201480188 https://theconversation.com/women-in-sport-are-winning-the-fight-for-equal-pay-slowly-167943]]> 2022-05-27 00:23:57 UTC https://padlet.com/sue_moloney/cygarcif0z9ud5cx/wish/2201480188 sue_moloney https://padlet.com/sue_moloney/cygarcif0z9ud5cx/wish/2201481164 https://raisingchildren.net.au/pre-teens/entertainment-technology/media/media-influence-on-teens]]> 2022-05-27 00:24:50 UTC https://padlet.com/sue_moloney/cygarcif0z9ud5cx/wish/2201481164 sue_moloney https://padlet.com/sue_moloney/cygarcif0z9ud5cx/wish/2201482088 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QWoP6jJG3k]]> 2022-05-27 00:25:39 UTC https://padlet.com/sue_moloney/cygarcif0z9ud5cx/wish/2201482088 sue_moloney https://padlet.com/sue_moloney/cygarcif0z9ud5cx/wish/2201483490 https://childmind.org/article/how-using-social-media-affects-teenagers/]]> 2022-05-27 00:26:45 UTC https://padlet.com/sue_moloney/cygarcif0z9ud5cx/wish/2201483490 poppy101 https://padlet.com/sue_moloney/cygarcif0z9ud5cx/wish/2204022670 https://www.sbs.com.au/news/the-feed/article/this-photo-sparked-pay-equality-for-women-surfers-but-other-sports-are-still-lagging/j272g68hm]]> 2022-05-30 03:21:15 UTC https://padlet.com/sue_moloney/cygarcif0z9ud5cx/wish/2204022670 poppy101 https://padlet.com/sue_moloney/cygarcif0z9ud5cx/wish/2204077539 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soHn6t_jjIw]]> 2022-05-30 04:21:33 UTC https://padlet.com/sue_moloney/cygarcif0z9ud5cx/wish/2204077539 Research Table sue_moloney https://padlet.com/sue_moloney/cygarcif0z9ud5cx/wish/2205322374 2022-05-31 02:24:17 UTC https://padlet.com/sue_moloney/cygarcif0z9ud5cx/wish/2205322374
