Hollywood celebs have been caught out - and charged - over a massive college admissions fraud scandal in the US. We wanted to know - how likely is it that the system could be gamed here? TheFeedSBS

In 2013, the University of Queensland wasby the Crime and Misconduct Commission after the university offered a publicly-funded medicine scholarship to the daughter of then-Vice-Chancellor Professor Paul Greenfield.

No criminal charges were laid, but Greenfield and then deputy Vice-Chancellor Michael Keniger stepped down from their roles following the report.According to some of Australia's top universities, it would be pretty hard to game the system - but it's not out of the question. "A lot of people criticize the ATAR system for being impersonal and coming down to numbers, a lot of those criticisms are fair but our system is more resistant to interference than more discretionary systems."

Queensland University of Technology provac Professor Carol Dickenson says that places where there is chance to cheat the system are especially scrutinized."To combat this weakness we've reduced the number that we take to around 100 per year. Most of them are performance based and if any of them have conflict of interests, such as being related to the applicant, moves are taken and often the person will be removed from the decision.

TheFeedSBS Great news. Make an example of them, that nobodies above the law

TheFeedSBS The whole nation is propped up by immigrants gaming Uni as a backdoor Visa scheme. Uni is a waste of time and money.

TheFeedSBS Won't happen here because you have to obtain a minimum entry score to gain entry to all Australian university degrees. We don't charge up front and don't care about extra-curricular like cheer leading or Church band. Entry is based purely on Gr12 test scores.

TheFeedSBS you can get a degree without speaking English. It's open knowledge around Sydney Unis.

Hollywood stars among dozens charged over US college bribery scamFederal authorities arrest dozens of people over a $35 million scheme to help wealthy Americans cheat their children's way into elite universities. One way or another Hollywood is fiddling with kids. Money, it seems, can buy anything, even an education at a top university for dunderheads. What a scandal this is. No wonder the level of success of universities in the US, and probably elsewhere, is as low as it is.

US pilots reported issues with Boeing 737 MaxAirline pilots on at least two US flights have reported that an automated system seemed to cause their Boeing 737 Max planes to tilt down suddenly. Overheating was most problem of turboshaft and turbojet engine. Usual this problem came from AC system prominently fan to coolen nitrogen. In order to strator run powerfully to drive rotor needing more grease or lubricant on strator surface so strator had powerfull power. Other problem was main display of cockpit suffered dim cause suppy power of current electric stream (Amphere) from accu or battery insufficient, if any lighting system in jet needed 200 Amphere so their accu or battery atleast 200 Amphere so everything will ran fullbright.

'Take responsibility' for your Islamic State fighters, America urges Morrison governmentThe US position stands in contrast to the views of senior Australian government ministers. I say no they can stay in jail where they are. But you might as well let them back in. Labor will let them back in to Australia in a nanosecond after being elected. AustralianLabor would definitely take them back, there isn’t a vote they wouldn’t pay for. They'll be back, as soon as Bill Shorten is Prime Minister it will be the first thing he does.
