Scientists at an indoor produce farm in Singapore are using cutting edge technology to reduce growing times and costs. The Panasonic lab-farm is one of the projects in the works to increase the capability of the small island state, which currently imports more than 95 percent of their produce, to grow their own vegetables. Sharon Reich reports.

Money talks: Minimum-wage mania
Governments are enthusiastically raising the minimum wage of workers. But how high can they go without being harmful?
3.1.1 Agriculture According to the UR Agreement on Agriculture, import quotas were to be abolished, but since no country was prepared to expose its farmers abruptly to the rigours of free trade, quotas were to be replaced by ‘equivalent’ tariffs, which were to be reduced over time. However, the calculation of equivalent tariffs is subject to wide margins of error, and since it was left to each country to determine its own tariffs, most were set at extraordinarily high levels – exceeding 200 or even 300 p
The Mabo Case: Its Significance for Australia and the World
A judicial revolution occurred in 1992 when the High Court discarded
the doctrine of terra nullius in the Mabo case. The ruling had
repercussions for Indigenous peoples within Australia and around the
world, especially in Canada, New Zealand, and the United States.
In this lecture presented by the Centre for Aboriginal Economic
Policy Research (CAEPR), ANU College of Arts and Social Sciences,
Professor Peter Russell considers the background and consequences of
the Mabo case, contextualising
In the Wake of Economic Reform: New Prospects for a National Building State
Has economic reform run its course? What potential remains for the

Canberra emerges from 20 years of neo-liberalism with disciplined
government, ample revenues, an effective regulative apparatus and –
perhaps – the capacity for government to steer the economy towards a
brighter future.
In this lecture, Professor Pusey weighs these prospects against the
negative impacts of neo-liberalism on our institutions and th
Around 1919 & in Mexico City
Mexico furnished the era of social and cultural change that started ‘right around 1910’ with its first popular revolution. By 1919 Mexico City had become a refuge for the world’s radicals. To a despairing world, it offered a unique site to safely experiment with all sorts of enchantments.
In this culturally promiscuous capital not only the meaning of Mexico was at stake, but also the meanings of major modernist concepts –revolution, the popular, avant-garde, authenticity,
Divided We Stand: Political Reflections on the Federal Experiment
Was the federation of the six Australian colonies into a Commonwealth of Australia really such a good idea? What were the alternatives? Might there have been a better way of doing things? The hard and brutal fact is that the Federation in the end was a political compromise; it was a product of some ferocious horse-trading and Canberra is its monument. This lecture looks at the politics - as distinct from the legal and financial aspects - of Australia's federal arrangements. How the politica
Does China Play By Our Rules And How Much Does It Matter
The arrest of Rio Tinto executive Stern Hu, and more recently China's cancellation of a ministerial visit over Canberra's decision to grant a visa to Uighur figurehead Rebiya Kadeer has put Australia-China relations sharply in focus. Relations between these key trading partners appears rocky at a time many would have envisioned ties to be getting warmer. China's behaviour has prompted many to look at China's internal politics and rule of law, as well as the price paid for dealing with China and

13 Post-compulsory science education In a speech to the Institute of Economic Affairs in 2001, the then UK Secretary of State for Education said: Young people choosing vocational study will be able to see a ladder of progression that gives structure, purpose and expectation to their lives, in the same way that a future pathway is clear to those who leave school to gain academic A-levels and enter university.

A 1993 IBM report on business continuity planning confirmed this when it revealed that ‘half of the plans failed completely or substantially when they were first tested’ (IBM, 1993, p. 5).
