Address to the South Australian Press Club 13 July 2012
ADDRESS TO THE SOUTH AUSTRALIAN PRESS CLUB 13 JULY 2012 YOU CAN’T HOLD BACK THE TIDE Ladies and gentlemen, historians give differing accounts of the story that I’m about to tell; some say it never happened at all, some say it happened elsewhere, but even if it’s apocryphal, it is nevertheless a story for our times. In the year 1028 or thereabouts, Canute, King of Denmark, England, Norway and parts of Sweden set up his throne on the tidal flats of Thorney Island, site of the current day Westminster in London, pointed his royal sceptre to the tide and uttered those immortal words: “I command thee not to rise”. Stubbornly, the tide refused to obey, and Canute’s chair, feet and royal cloak got duly soaked. When we hear this story as children we think of it as a story of human arrogance and folly. Not even Kings have that much power; Canute must have been a right royal fool. But when we hear it as adults, we know that Canute, a canny king, was reproving his courtiers and teaching them a lesson. Wise leaders, he is saying, know their power is limited, so you shouldn’t ask them to try to do the impossible. Canute was smart. But let’s assume for a moment he was truly dumb. What if he had given stopping the tide a good go? It’s possible. The technology was widely available. He could have set up a tidal review. Built a wall. And put it under the control of a publicly funded tidal regulatory body. -

Public Interest Journalism Initiative and Judith Neilson Institute
PUBLIC INTEREST JOURNALISM INITIATIVE and THE JUDITH NEILSON INSTITUTE FOR JOURNALISM AND IDEAS joint submission to the AUSTRALIAN COMPETITION & CONSUMER COMMISSION’S Mandatory news media barGaininG code Concepts paper 5 June 2020 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Following a summer of bushfires, a global pandemic has demonstrated not only the importance of reliable news media - to provide accurate information and to bind communities – but also their vulnerability. The impact on news publishers and broadcasters has been devastating. Less than a year since the ACCC handed down the Final Report of its Digital Platforms Inquiry, more than a hundred news titles have ceased publishing, and hundreds of journalists have lost their jobs. Without intervention, more news businesses will close this year when JobKeeper payments end. Against this backdrop, the task of developing the Mandatory News Media Bargaining Code (Code) to ensure a fair value exchange between news media businesses and Google, Facebook and their subsidiary platforms is urgent and important. By redressing the imbalances identified by the ACCC,1 the Code has the potential to ensure that those who invest in original journalistic content are fairly rewarded by digital platforms that derive significant direct and indirect value from it - and also that there is due recognition of the direct and indirect value that, in turn, news media businesses derive from digital platforms. The timetable is ambitious, with the ACCC and the Government moving quickly. However, we consider that a pragmatic, workable Code can be developed in the prescribed timeframe, including with certain features that might be considered 'interim'. To this end, PIJI and JNI submit that the Code should: 1. -
CR Traverse Analysis Progenitors & Pioneers
Traverse Analysis: Progenitors and Pioneers 14th History of Economic Thought Society of Australia Conference The University of Tasmania, Hobart, Australia. 11th July 2001 Colin Richardson* School of Economics University of Tasmania ABSTRACT Traverse analysis has two progenitors (David Ricardo, Karl Marx) and five pioneers: Michal Kalecki, Adolph Lowe, Joan Robinson, J.R. Hicks, and John Hicks. Defined as the dynamic disequilibrium adjustment-path that connects an initial with a different terminal state of economic growth, the traverse comes in four “flavours”. There are neoclassical (J.R. Hicks), neo-Austrian (John Hicks), observed (Ricardo, Marx, Kalecki, Robinson), and instrumental (Lowe) traverses. These terms are explained and the seven seminal contributions are summarised and commented upon in this paper. * I am indebted to Dr Jerry Courvisanos for his supervision and comments in writing this paper. Scholarship support from The University of Tasmania is also gratefully acknowledged. 2 Introduction Nobel laureate economist Robert Solow once quipped: “The traverse is the easiest part of skiing but the most difficult part of economics”. Later, Joseph Halevi and Peter Kriesler (1992, p 225) complained that “The traverse is at the same time one of the most important concepts in economic theory, and also one of the most neglected.” This paper outlines briefly the history of economic thought between 1821 and 1973 concerning this difficult, important and neglected theoretical construct. Traverse analysis has two progenitors (David Ricardo, Karl Marx) and five pioneers: Michal Kalecki, Adolph Lowe, Joan Robinson, J.R. Hicks, and John Hicks.

Box 600, Wellington, New Zealand (Tel.: +64-4-4721000; Fax: +64-4-4955014; e-mail: [email protected]) Abstract. A new wave of interest in long-run economic growth emerged since the late 1980s. This paper uses a simple model to illustrate how tech- nological change can be endogenised in macroeconomic theories of growth and then surveys how – through factor mobility, the diffusion of innova- tions and trade – spatial interdependence in a system of regions can influ- ence technological change and growth. Endogenous technological change generates in our illustrative model long-run steady-state growth in a closed economy. However, it turns out that the dynamic impact of spatial inter- dependence depends on the specification of the model. Spatial conver- gence, a steady state with persisting spatial differences in growth rates and unstable growth are all theoretically possible. Issues relating to the role of aggregate demand and policy also receive attention. There is much scope for further theoretical and empirical work on endogenous growth in a spa- tial-economic context, while a better integration of micro and macro level approaches is also desirable. -
Wireless Broadband Technologies for Regional and Rural Australia a Last-Mile Perspective
WIRELESS BROADBAND WIRELESS BROADBAND TECHNOLOGIES FOR REGIONAL AND RURAL AUSTRALIA A LAST-MILE PERSPECTIVE AHM Razibul Islam, Department of Engineering, Macquarie University Dr. Niloufer Selvadurai, Department of Business Law, Macquarie University Professor Graham Town, Department of Engineering, Macquarie University INTRODUCTION The deployment of wireless broadband networks to deliver high-speed broadband services to regional and rural Australia is increasingly being examined as a viable alternative to the deploy- ment of wired technology. Whilst last-mile connectivity (i.e. the connection which links the end- user to the network backbone) can be very expensive for carriage service providers deploying wired technology, the deployment of wireless technologies, typically characterised by lower capital and operational costs, can provide a more effective solution to the connectivity problems presently experienced by these remote demographics. It is recognised that the provision of high speed broadband is critical to communities in re- gional and rural areas as it serves to expand economic capacity and stimulate commerce. However, accessibility and availability of broadband networks are generally lower in rural areas than the urban areas in both developed and developing countries due to low population density and poor economies of scale. Recent developments in wireless network technology however have the po- tential to provide access to broadband technology in regional and rural communities at reasonable cost. Hence, wireless technology has the potential to empower local communities and expand economic capacity and commerce in regional and rural areas. The central purpose of this paper is to explore the alternatives presently available for the deployment of wireless broadband networks for regional and rural Australia. -

Vast areas of decision making, data mining, knowledge discovery in data, approximatereasoning,etc. However, many of the moral assumptions of global citizenship education are more complex and contradict these goals, and are just as likely to have the unintended consequence of reinforcing a more particular Western individualism.

It seems as if everyone is writing applications or apps these days for Android, BlackBerry, and the enterprise-it's where the money's at. In order to provide maintainable and extendible code, an extra level of abstraction (such as pointers to functions) is used in examples where appropriate.
