In early July, she leases a serviced executive apartment for nine months near her workplace in Sydney. The apartment is her home base during her stay here.

Referencing
Students are reminded that they will lose marks if they merely reproduce passages copied word for word from texts and other references without attempting to convey information and express ideas in their own words. Of course, this does not preclude the intelligent use of relevant quotations in respect of which proper references are given.
It should be noted that the references must be given in respect of all material included in the assignment. References are not to be confined to situations in which the writer is citing a particular case or using a direct quotation. For example, if the writer is putting forward a legal proposition or using a statement or idea drawn from a specific source, that source must be acknowledged by reference. It is essential that references be properly acknowledged at all times and marks will be deducted if this is not done.
References may be acknowledged within the assignment text, (using in-text or Harvard referencing) or by footnoting throughout the assignment, by giving details of the references by way of numbered footnotes at the bottom of the relevant page. Note carefully that proper and consistent referencing must be followed. When referring to cases, the full case citation must be given.
