Exactly. My friend (wanted to get into Comp. Science) just went to TAFE and got a dilpoma and then the next year he transferred to UWS and guess what? He was exempt first year uni!
So let's see:
He doesn't do well in the HSC, his friends study their arses off and go straight to uni. Now he's in exactly the same position as them, except at TAFE it's always hands on infront of the computer so he has practical experience and they've only done the theory.
"But hang on!" you say. They're at Sydney uni and he's at UWS. Sydney uni is heaps more prestigeous.
True.
So the year after that he transferred to Sydney uni and ended up getting his masters there.
So he goes to tafe while they go to uni and basically they all end up finishing at the same place.
Two years after you get your UAI nobody will remember what you got or even give a f*ck!
ARRRRGH I hate how my parents f*cking care. Oh well.
/end rant.

Exactly.  Except like you & draven said, it's not two years. It's however long it takes for you to get accepted into some course (any course).. then just get decent marks & switcherooney.
Let me assure you sydney uni aint so freekin prestigious once you get past the sandstone.. it's probably a bit different for Japanese language courses, as its pretty popular, but i did indonesian here, & it was short of funds to the point that one full-time staff member constituted the whole department.
but then, nothing seems all that prestigious at this time of morning. Just think, study hard & in six years time you could be dribbling shit on toymods at 4;20am cos you just wrote about 2000 words of thesis since midnight & you can't switch off 
edit: Good Luck!
