How do i get in a medical course without a OP1? (QLD, Australia)?

We Answered:

Look at the postgraduate program - you need a Distinction average in any degree, although science related would be best. That means you will need to get a Distinction for every subject in the 3 years at university, a couple of Credits would be OK but no Passes, and you ned mostly Distinctions.

If you are unable to do this, then you will never get into Medicine.

Johnnie Said:

Should Australia become Nuclear as we have the worlds largest deposits of Uranium, to ward of any threats ?

We Answered:

There is a big difference between the world of building nuclear power stations, and nuclear weapons system.

The bomb was tested in co-operation with the British on Australian territory years ago and
I believe that Australia already has nuclear strike capability.

As for using it to fuel Australian energy concerns, it possibly will be the only way to go after the natural resources of coal, gas, etc.. run out.

The Swedes have some very new, powerful Nuclear generators with far better safety features than the flawed Russian design used at Chernobyl.
