Which piece of bad publicity do you feel the government could have avoided in recent years?

Answer:

It is no good to simply identify the bad publicity (ie H.E. top-up fees haven't gone down too well). You should also offer your opinion as to why the situation was avoidable. This is an example of a question where a straightforward answer with no further explanation simply is not enough. You may wish to consider:

How partial or widespread the bad publicity was
The precise nature of the incident or activity leading to the publicity
How it was dealt with at the time
How things have changed since
How you would have dealt with it with the benefit of hindsight
What has resulted from the publicity
