I’m currently considering undertaking an undergraduate Law Degree; but after some research it seems like everybody is doing it! Considering that over the past ten years there has been a rise in solicitors from around 20000 to a 110000 …

The Government has no plans to change superannuation entitlements or raise the age of eligibility in the face of a Treasury report’s dire warnings of the burden of an ageing population.
Treasury secretary John Whitehead today warned New Zealand’s net debt could reach $2 trillion by 2050 if government spending followed historic trends.
The statement showed the Government was currently issuing about $250 million a week in debt.
Releasing the treasury’s long term fiscal statement this afternoon, Mr Whitehead said “as a nation we are going to have to make some choices about what we want”.
“The only options that are feasible are options of changing taxes around.
Finance Minister Bill English said the Government would not go back on its promise to retain entitlements but the next round of tax cuts would not be happening in the short term.
“If we can get some better results on the economy then we will get some more tax revenue in. We will need to collect all the current amount of tax,” he told reporters.”
Growth in Government spending has averaged 6. But in the shorter term there isn’t an option on giving away a whole lot of revenue.2 percent over the same period.3 percent a year for the past 15 years, in total more than 20 percent higher than economic growth, at 5.The shift in the past three years was partly due to lower revenue and increased expenses from the recession, and revised growth and revenue predictions.
The statement more than doubled the projected net debt from the 2006 forecast to 223 per cent of GDP by 2050 if things did not change.
Mr Whitehead noted the imminent threat to government spending liabilities from the increasing 65-plus age bracket.
Also contributing to the shift was the increased expense of new Government policies over the past three years.
“By 2050 the ratio of people 65 and over to those of working age will double,” Mr Whitehead said.
A quarter of Government spending currently went towards that group, which made up 12 per cent of the population. .
Mr Whitehead emphasised he did not expect the worst case scenario to come true, but it was up to the Government to make the necessary choices to address the fiscal issues highlighted in the statement. Treasury’s given the same advice about super for 20 years, it hasn’t changed.
“Future Governments haven’t made the undertakings the current Government has made.”
More people were choosing to stay on at work longer and Mr English expected that to increase. We made an undertaking and we are sticking to that undertaking.”

.Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has denied that a second nuclear enrichment plant that his country disclosed only yesterday was a secret.
Iran revealed the existence of the plant to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) just hours before it was made public by US President Barack Obama.
The plant is not yet operational as it is still under construction. .
Mr Obama said the facility is close to the city of Qom and that building it started several years ago.
He said the existence of the second enrichment plant deepens a growing concern that Iran is refusing to live up to its international responsibilities.
US officials say Mr Obama went public with the explosive new allegation after the Iranians discovered Western intelligence had breached their security.
He said the plant must now be opened to inspectors.
Mr Brown said it was more evidence of Iran’s “serial deception of many years”.
“We expect the IAEA to immediately investigate this disturbing information and to report to the IAEA board of governors,” Mr Obama said, calling the new plant a “direct challenge” to international non-proliferation rules.
Mr Sarkozy said the Iranians had until December to come clean or face much tougher sanctions.
“The international community has no choice today but to draw a line in the sand,” he said.
“Everything must be put on the table now.
“We cannot let Iranian leaders gain time while the motors are running,” he said.”
Prime Minister Kevin Rudd says the revelations that Iran has been secretly building a nuclear power enrichment plan are highly disturbing.”
Prime Minister Kevin Rudd says the revelations that Iran has been secretly building a nuclear power enrichment plan are highly disturbing.
“It’s troubling that Iran continues to be unwilling to meet its obligations under the IAEA requirements and the relevant UN Security Council resolutions.
“This, in our view, represents a challenge to the core of the nuclear non-proliferation regime.
He denied it was a secret, saying the plant was constructed within the framework of the IAEA.”
Mr Ahmadinejad confirmed the plant existed but claims it will not be functional for 18 months.
“We have no secrecy, and we work within the framework of the IAEA, and based on specific regulations and pre-determined time frames, we disclose information about our operations and facilities to the IAEA – not that anyone forces us to,” he said.
In an interview with Time magazine, he said Iran is not obliged to inform Mr Obama of every facility it has.
“They wanted to set up a sort of media game, take the stage to sort of set up the upper hand,” he said.
He accused the Western countries of trying to stack the table against Iran before an October 1 meeting between Iranian and Western negotiators on the nuclear issue..
“This is not nice . this kind of behaviour goes back to what was done in the past. this kind of behaviour goes back to what was done in the past.”
