			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>There are three parts:</strong></p>
<p><strong><em>1. Identify the most challenging part of the project you experienced. Explain how you overcame this challenge. (How did you adjust your approach to the project?)</em></strong></p>
<p>The most challenging part of this project was trying to edit video&#8217;s and clips on I-movie. Our group asked for asistance from students and teachers to help edit our episode of media watch.</p>
<p><strong><em>2. Explain two key learnings that you have learnt during this project. How do you think these key learnings will assist you in future projects?</em></strong></p>
<p>I have learnt that the media is not always right and that i should not believe everything that the media says. I have also learnt alot more about how to use camera&#8217;s and how they work. I am sure that in future projects these skills will be handy because we will probably be using I-movie and camera&#8217;s in future projects.</p>
<p><strong><em>3. If you had the opportunity to change something in the project criteria what would it be? (be specific and tell us why you would change it and offer a possible alternative if appropriate).</em></strong></p>
<p>I would have changed the topic which is social justice, i think this project would have been more enjoyable if we were able to choose any topic that we wanted. I would also change the journals because i find doing journals boring.</p>

<p>In a way it has, it has taught me that the media almost is not always right and often over exaggerates to get attention from the public.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="standfirst"><strong>SYDNEY&#8217;S streets are expected to be flooded with horses after the city council announced free parking for riders across the entire city.</strong></p>
<p>Lord Mayor Clover Moore yesterday unveiled a plan to triple the number of motorcycles and scooters in the city in an attempt to root out cars from the CBD.</p>
<p>&#8220;For some years motorcycle (riders) have suffered inequalities and also had problems with safety and security and this strategy is a move to address (those problems),&#8221; Ms Moore said.</p>
<p>&#8220;Clearly with congestion in Sydney and increased petrol prices being an incentive, people are looking for alternatives.&#8221;</p>
<p>On average a scooter uses between 3.6 litres and 4.2 litres of petrol per 100km, compared to more than 10 litres per 100 kilometres for a typical Australian six cylinder family car.</p>
<p>Other plans in the strategy to encourage more scooters and motorcycles in the city include: </p>
<li>Discounted parking in the city&#8217;s parking stations; </li>
<li>Investigating the introduction of charging points for electric models; </li>
<li>Advocate for cheaper road toll payments; </li>
<li>Call for motorcycle couriers to legally park in loading zones;</li>
<li>Trial on-street motorcycle locking devices to reduce theft; and</li>
<li>Ask the RTA to allow motorcyclists to park closer to the curb, where it is currently illegal for cars to park</li>
