Straight-A students claim their grades have dramatically dropped since the decades-old OP system was scrapped in Queensland in favour of Australian Tertiary Admission Rank and a national standard syllabus.

"I was passing with As and Bs and now I'm failing everything."

ATAR is based on five general subjects or four general subjects and one Vocational Education and Training subject "We have received a bigger influx of Year 11 students, particularly in term two this year," Ms Fleming said. "What I can see happening is a lot of people dropping out of the general subjects [formerly known as OP subjects] to go to the applied subjects because the general subjects are a lot harder," Ms Fleming said.

Luke Howarth wants to put a 'positive spin' on homelessness. We fact checked his claimsIn an interview last week, newly-appointed Assistant Minister for Community Housing, Homelessness and Community Services Luke Howarth caused controversy, saying he wanted to put a positive spin on homelessness in Australia. We fact checked some of his claims — here's what we found. More sexism in the ABC's tweets, here have a hug ABC. You won't get the truth from RMIT, if you did you'd be looking at maps not singular sets of numbers because lifestyles & situations in different parts of Australia are significantly varied & this impacts on the relative truth of any claims about the topic i.e. numbers get skewed.
