It is characterized by early effective retirement ages and very high effective replacement rates. Most workers receive virtually all of their retirement income from this public retirement insurance. Costs are almost 12 percent of GDP, more than 2.5 times as much as the U.S.

New Dimensions Corporate Counseling in Environmental Law By Nicholas A. RobinsonQ Amid today's sometimes frenzied government action to cure en- vironmental degradation, and amid the defensive posturing of cor- porate managers and their public relations staffs, and the vigorous, if occasionally strident, protests by conservationists to protect en- dangered Nature, few have stopped to examine the role of the attorney as anything other than 1itigator.l Legal counseling has largely ignored the many environmental laws which have recently been enacted. Headlines have fixed on dramatic government prosecutions or conservation law suits; legal counsel in some specialized fields, such as electrical utilities or oil and other natural resource exploitation, have begun to cope with new environmental law requirements.' However, most lawyers as counselors are not yet involved in the struggle for environ- mentally sound development.

Impact Of News Reporting On Victims And Survivors Of Traumatic Events When traumatic incidents occur, victims and survivors – as well as their families, friends and immediate communities – respond in varying ways. Over the past century, however, researchers have mapped common psychosocial consequences for victims/survivors in their studies of what has come to be known as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Over the same period, journalists and news media managers have adopted local, medium-specific and industry-wide journalistic standards for acceptable ethical and operational behaviours when it comes to covering such incidents. Yet, despite numerous prescriptive codes – and growing public criticism – Australia’s news media continues to confront victims/ survivors in large numbers when they are at their most vulnerable... and sometimes in ways that are, at best, questionable.
