Greetings Mates, As far as I can remember (since Monash 2000, before that I was still working on the language), there have always been an invitational team or...
All, I think Logan raises an important issue, and it's probably timely that it gets some level of discussion. For what it's worth, and to get the declaration...

Salaams all! Even though my university (S'pore Management U) is a newbie on the debating circuit (hell! We're 3 years old anyway), I would like to lend my...
Hi all, I have to say i disagree with Luke and Taresh. The tournament is the Australasian debating championships. This either means that it is a tournament...
Hallo folks, On behalf of the MMU Australs committee, I would like to announce that the 2003 Australs will be held from 2 July 2003 till 10 July 2003 in the...
Well, without having had time to give it a great deal of thought (and why start thinking now?) I'm in favour of invitational teams at the discretion of the...

Dear all I find it pleasantly surprising that a majority of the posts on this mailing list have been supportive of the idea of invitational teams in general,...
Hello all, Does anyone know why the Australian National Debating Championships were originally expanded long ago to include New Zealand and then Asia to become...
I believe New Zealand was included for aesthetic reasons. ... From: ravi viswanathan To: australs@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, January 19, 2003 7:51 AM ...
I thought NZ was included to give Australian teams someone easy to practice against before we took on the rest of the world. Much the same as the Bledisloe...
Ok, hang on a minute. I knew this was coming and I can't say I'm entirely happy about it. In this case 'it' is the idea that this plan will hurt the...

I'm for Ben's idea. Even though I am from China and Chinese teams are not likely to break anyway in about 10 years or more, we're ready to participate and...
... said. I'd say reassess the position if lots of guest countries come, but for the time being, allow one guest team to break, but instead of Luke's proposal,...
Can I first of all reaffirm my opposition to invitational teams breaking. But if it goes ahead it need restictions. Only institutions eligible to compete at...
Although I'm sure there was no offense meant with the previous suggestion (accepting guests in the break explicitly at the expense of Aussies and not Asians),...
Greetings mates, In regards to the suggestion by my scruffy Australian friend, I think the idea of allowing one breaking spot to an invitational team is an...
Greetings mates, I am attempting to collate a list of "Active AIDA 4s", which translates as those graded with an AIDA 4 and who are able/willing to mark AIDA...
I apologise if my email was construed as patronising. I suppose all AA programmes are able to be construed as such, including that for women. As you say, it's...

G'day, I'm wondering if anyone can give even the slighest approximation of the numbers of participants at any of the recent Australs, at Monash, NTU, and ...
