In brief - It is essential that co-ed schools in Victoria considering strategies to achieve gender balance obtain legal advice about appropriate exemptions to ensure anti-discrimination laws are not breached
Co-educational schools are increasingly aiming to offer learning experiences to students consistent with equal gender ratios. This often follows complaints from parents that classes are “swamped” with students of one gender (almost always more boys than girls) and that this may have implications for learning outcomes.
However, schools cannot just alter enrolments to address gender imbalance. In Victoria, obtaining an exemption under anti-discrimination legislation is the only way schools can lawfully introduce affirmative action policies to attract more female students.

Anyway, we were soon firing orders at Siri, the disembodied voice of one Susan Bennett according to some sources, who lives in Atlanta, Georgia.
“Hey, Siri, play Paco Bell”, “Hey Siri, play Once Bitten Twice Shy, Babe”, “Hey Siri, play Ave Maria….”

When Rachel Rintelmann closed on her Washington-area home a few years ago, something caught her eye: a paragraph in her deed had been crossed out with a quick X, written in pen.
It restricted who could “use or occupy” the house, allowing “no person of any race other (than) the Caucasian race”.
“I chuckled because it felt so satisfying that I was buying this house that I wasn’t supposed to be buying,” Rintelmann, who is biracial, said by phone from her 1940s-era home in a Maryland community called Indian Springs.
So you are on a four-lane highway heading to your destination. You decide to go around a semi-tractor trailer. You take a quick glance to see the driver of the semi, but there is no one in the driverâs seat. Wow â what was that?
That was Artificial Intelligence self-driving a semi-tractor trailer. In other words, a semi-tractor trailer being driven by a learning machine (a digital computer). After all, airplanes have had auto-pilot for many years. AI has been used with sending humans and robots to outer space.
Artificial Intelligence is intelligence demonstrated by machines, unlike the natural intelligence displayed by humans and animals. Computer science has been busy developing artificial intelligence machines, thinking and working like humans.
