Question 1 of 40
1. Question
Australia has a public-funded universal health care system. This system is funded by imposing a Medicare levy (a tax) on the Australian public. A large number of Australians who pay this tax never visit a doctor. It is unfair to impose a tax on people for a service they do not use. Government-funded health care should be replaced with private health care.

Elevated CO₂ concentrations can cause headaches, drowsiness, and lethargy. Children under 15 are particularly vulnerable to poor air quality. Pollutant exposure during developmental stages may produce lifelong issues such as respiratory infections. Poor ventilation is the cause of high levels of CO2. Levels. The ventilation levels need to be improved in Victorian classrooms*.

Question 5 of 40
5. Question
Jobs are likely to become scarce in the future. An increase in automation, progress in artificial intelligence, and mechanization will reduce the number of people needed to do a job. The trend has already started. Fewer workers are needed in warehouses. Self-driving cars and vehicles are likely to replace human drivers shortly. Automatic checkout counters have reduced the retail staff needed. Numerous other examples can be given. Buying a robot with years of functional life is much cheaper than employing a worker and paying him every year. This phenomenon is likely to have a greater impact on workers doing manual jobs at low pay rates. Educated and highly skilled workers will not be impacted that much. Thus, getting a higher education and acquiring higher-order critical thinking and problem-solving skills has become more crucial than ever before.
