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.

  • A Prime Squandering Apace
    A prime squandering apace By Bart Barry – Saturday in the Bubble at MGM Grand in the mainevent of a dreadful ESPN card Nebraskan Terence “Bud” Crawford needed about 3 1/2 rounds and punches to stop overmatched Brit Kell “Special K” Brook. Referee Tony Weeks, generally the perfect man for any Crawford fight, lost interest in watching Brook get brutalized a bit quicker than expected, though no one complained. Bud got his victory, Brook got his paycheck, aficionados got to sleep early. Bud did what had to be done to defend his fringe welterweight title and top spot in a hypothetical ranking that only matters so much when no one fights one another. The title pound-for-pound was invented for Sugar Ray Robinson, if historians can be believed, to clarify how much better Robinson was than everyone else, especially what heavyweights dominated American sport. It was nobody’s obsession in the 1980s when the best welterweights and middleweights fought one another. It grew mighty longer legs during the Mayweather era when not-fighting was very much en vogue. It’s why it’s important right now for Bud – because he’s not-fighting anyone any aficionado wants to see him fight. It’s a promoters-n-eggheads obsession these days, as a generation of kids raised on destination fights comes of age and isn’t quite sure what to do with someone like Teofimo Lopez who moved himself prematurely and succeeded. See, what Teofimo should’ve done is let his fight with Lomachenko marinate another few years – what we now call “waiting till there can be fans at the fights again” – and threatened his peers on Twitter and harangued his promoter for more money and given prickly interviews to various apps about what he couldn’t wait to do someday.

  • The Erosion of Bud Crawford
    The erosion of Bud Crawford By Bart Barry- Saturday at Madison Square Garden in a fight for the ESPN welterweight title Nebraska’s Terence “Bud” Crawford stopped Lithuania’s Egidijus “Mean Machine” Kavaliauskas in round 9, defending his ESPN-pound-for-pound rating and further burnishing credentials Crawford insists are already hall-of- fame quality. Too, ESPN’s Joe Tessitore called the last minutes of Crawford’s ringwalk “precious”? Bud Crawford is bored. You are bored. Bud Crawford knows you are bored. (And now, humorously enough, he knows you know he’s bored.) That mutual boredom leads a proud man like Bud to do imprudent things for his own amusement and to a lesser extent your amusement. That’s half the reason for Crawford’s poor start Saturday but not the bad half. Boredom can be remedied, after all. The bad part of the reason for Crawford’s poor start Saturday is that his skills are gradually eroding in the acid rain of average competition. Boxing is unique among professional sports in its ability to waste a healthy participant’s prime years. By any measure Crawford’s prime is being wasted. That’s boxing’s fault, the system’s fault, much more than any one person’s or organization’s or broadcast network’s. Boxing does this to many of its participants, but you rarely notice because the case is never obvious as Crawford’s is right now. Generally these things happen to a 29-year-old stuck in a small market and affiliated with the wrong manager, some fighter either too good or too loyal to get the fights a bigger handler might get him.

  • 4 October 2018
    Looking for past editions of Eye on Q? Find these on TEQ's corporate website. 4 October 2018 Aussies flock to Queensland The latest National Visitor Survey data shows Australians spent more money in Queensland over the past 12 months than ever before. The increase in spending of more than 10 per cent generated a record $17 billion in overnight visitor expenditure for Queensland for the first time. The state also welcomed a record 22.5 million domestic visitors - nearly five per cent growth. The figures for the year ending June 2018 were released yesterday and showed every region across the state experienced growth in visitor expenditure. Queensland's swathe of bumper major events were a significant contributing factor - from the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games held in four event cities, to Manny Pacquiao v Jeff Horn (Battle of Brisbane), the Marvel: Creating the Cinematic Universe exhibition and 70 destination events - all of which drove visitation and expenditure across the state. See the latest domestic visitor statistics Cruise sector growth The latest cruise industry data reveals that cruise ship days to Queensland increased by 11 per cent over the past year, with 860,000 passengers and crew spending $501 million. The growth was supported by emerging regions like Gladstone, Thursday Island, Townsville, Fraser Island and Mooloolaba providing cruise lines with more opportunities to visit the state's unique destinations. Looking ahead, cruise lines will ramp up a record number of visits to 11 Queensland ports over the next seven months, including Carnival Australia who plan 247 calls alone - a 30 per cent increase on the last cruise season.

    2018/01: Should boxing be banned? file:///C:/dpfinal/schools/doca2018/2018boxing/2018boxing.html 2018/01: Should boxing be banned? What they said... 'It is unacceptable anywhere else in life to try and belt someone in the head, and yet we have tens of thousands of people glued to TV screens to see who can get hurt the most' Dr Michael Gannon, President of the Australian Medical Association 'I cannot get out of my mind the last words Scott spoke to me: Boxing is about taking risks and I will take them' Sporting commentator Bob Westerdale, referring to the recent death of British light-heavyweight Scott Westgarth The issue at a glance On February 27, 2018, British brain injury charity, Headway, called for boxing to be banned following the death of British light-heavyweight boxer Scott Westgarth. Westgarth died on February 25, 2018, after winning a light-heavyweight bout in Doncaster, England, on a points decision. Headway noted that this was the third boxing death in Britain since 2013 and that this direct loss of life did not take account of the head injuries that inevitably result from what the organisation termed 'this so-called sport'. The World Medical Association and the British Medical Association have both consistently called for boxing to be banned. On July 3, 2017, Michael Morgan, professor of cerebrovascular neurosurgery at Macquarie University, called for boxing to be banned in Australia in the wake of the Jeff Horn-Manny Pacquiao contest staged in Brisbane on July 2. Morgan argued that the potentially permanent brain injuries sustained by both fighters made the continuation of the sport unacceptable.
