In a letter addressed to Gladys Berejiklian, the consortium, which also included academics, lawyers and community and faith leaders, expressed its concerns over further delays in implementing the Act. Carolyn Kitto, co-director of Be Slavery Free, a global coalition working to prevent, abolish and disrupt modern slavery, said there are more slaves in the world today than any other time in history. “Every day, 25,200 people, as a guestimate, enter slavery. So, every day that this is delayed, NSW, which is the seventh largest economy in Asia, loses an opportunity to set a standard about ending modern slavery.” Ms Kitto, one of the signatories of the letter, believes the Act, if put into force, will help end slavery in the supply chain. “It’s estimated that 70 to 80 per cent of slavery is actually in the supply chain of the goods that we buy, and we’ve been an importing country,” she said. Image: Sam McNair “Our manufacturing is largely offshore, and so asking vulnerable, because they’re deceived, tricked or coerced into businesses to check their supply women, because they’re children, what they’re doing,” Ms Kitto said.

  • The International World of Sport and the Liability for Off-Field Indiscretions
    Bond Law Review Volume 23 | Issue 1 Article 3 2011 The nI ternational World of Sport and the Liability for Off-Field Indiscretions Chris Davies Follow this and additional works at: http://epublications.bond.edu.au/blr This Article is brought to you by the Faculty of Law at ePublications@bond. It has been accepted for inclusion in Bond Law Review by an authorized administrator of ePublications@bond. For more information, please contact Bond University's Repository Coordinator. The nI ternational World of Sport and the Liability for Off-Field Indiscretions Abstract The recent terminations of the contracts of NRL player, Joel Monaghan and the AFL’s Brendan Fevola, for off-field indiscretions, has highlighted the significance of the bringing the game into disrepute clauses contained in standard player contracts. Tiger Woods’ extra-marital affairs received extensive world wide media attention, and the outcome of this negative coverage was the loss of millions of dollars in sponsorship deals. This indicates that such contracts can be terminated on the basis that a sportsperson’s behaviour was having a negative impact on the sponsor’s image. It is for the same reason that sponsors have put pressure on the governing bodies of team sports to take appropriate action for off-field indiscretions. The Court of Arbitration in D’Arcy v Australian Olympic Committee, has also held that a competitor’s behaviour in an incident where criminal charges were laid, may, in itself be sufficient to bring a sport, or themselves, into disrepute, regardless of whether the competitor is later found guilty or innocent.

  • NOTA DI LAVORO 53.2014 Rugby League in Australia Between 2001 and 2012: an Analysis of Home Advantage and Salary Cap Violations
    NOTA DI LAVORO 53.2014 Rugby League in Australia between 2001 and 2012: an Analysis of Home Advantage and Salary Cap Violations By Thomas Longden, Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei, Euro-Mediterranean Centre for Climate Change and Metrical Analysis Greg Kannard Economy and Society Series Editor: Giuseppe Sammarco Rugby League in Australia between 2001 and 2012: an Analysis of Home Advantage and Salary Cap Violations By Thomas Longden, Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei, Euro-Mediterranean Centre for Climate Change and Metrical Analysis Greg Kannard Summary Within this paper, we review whether incidences of salary cap circumvention within the Australian professional rugby league competition led to improved home team wins during the period between 2001 and 2012. In doing so, we show that while the salary cap breach amounts can be attributed to an improved home team win record in the case of the Melbourne Storm, success during the period can also be attributed with other factors such as the management of the club, talent identification and the quality of the coach and/or captain. This raises an important issue surrounding the effectiveness of a salary cap to create a level playing field when uncertainty over the quality and performance of players exists. A notable role of the salary cap violations was the retention of a core group of players that were instrumental in the success that occurred in the 2007 season. As part of the analysis we also review home team advantage. A focus on the NRL is justified due to the peculiar nature of having multiple stadium types within the same city and team.

    TO: NZRL Staff, Districts and Affiliates and Board FROM: Cushla Dawson DATE: 16 March 2009 RE: Media Summary Tuesday 10 February to Monday 16 March 2009 Bronson Harrison following in Wiki's footsteps: In Canberra Raiders circles there are few compliments bigger than being compared with club legend Ruben Wiki. So as Bronson Harrison prepares to play his first game for the Raiders tomorrow night he can rest assured he has the complete backing of his teammates. Missing World Cup triumph only regret: Everyone from the coaches, Stephen Kearney and Wayne Bennett, and seemingly, through to the kit man have been lauded for their roles in the Kiwis' stunning World Cup win. But one man whose exploits are often overlooked is Roy Asotasi. Asotasi wasn't at Brisbane that famous night when the Kiwis upset Australia 34-20. He still had an arm in a sling, thanks to the torn pectoral muscle sustained in the last 10 minutes of his penultimate NRL game of the season. It dashed any hopes of captaining the Kiwis at the World Cup. Bennett rues letting Harrison slip away: It's not often that Wayne Bennett admits he got it wrong. But that was certainly the case with Bronson Harrison. About the time Bennett signed on to coach the Dragons, Bronson's manager, Sam Ayoub, shopped the Tigers back-rower to several clubs. Bennett was given the opportunity to snap up the 23-year-old but passed. The Kiwi international subsequently signed with the Raiders. Battle looms for Kiwi T'eo: Auckland-born Bronco Ben Te'o is refusing to comment on a possible battle between Queensland and New Zealand for his services.

  • BBC Learning English Words in the News 4Th February 2009 West Indies to Get Its First White Cricketer
    BBC Learning English Words in the news 4th February 2009 West Indies to get its first white cricketer Brendan Nash is expected to become the first white cricketer to represent the West Indies in a home test in more than 30 years. The Australian born player is in the squad to face England in Jamaica, his parents' birthplace. Our Sports News reporter Alex Capstick reports: It's a most unlikely homecoming. Brendan Nash was born in Perth, Western Australia. His family had moved from Jamaica. He was a good cricketer but ultimately failed to make his mark in Australia. It was during the 2007 World Cup in the Caribbean that he decided to move to the land of his parents. Within a year of playing cricket for Jamaica he was included in the squad to tour New Zealand where he made his test debut. His inclusion had divided opinion. For racial reasons some people objected to Brendan Nash's selection. No white man had played for the West Indies since Geoff Greenidge represented the region in 1973. Others were sceptical of a player who in effect was an Australian reject. But his performances in New Zealand suggested he could add some much needed resilience to the West Indies batting line-up. And it's hoped his professional attitude, honed in the tough Australian system, will rub off on his new colleagues. It's been a long time since the West Indies had a team to be proud of. They haven't won a test series against England in fifteen years.
