The statement covers all sites owned or operated by CS Energy (as outlined on page 6) for the financial year ending 30 June 2020. In FY2020, CS Energy spent more than $575 million on goods and services from almost 1,200 vendors. We recognise that a business with this procurement spend has an important role to play in helping to prevent modern slavery. Our immediate focus in FY2020 was to gain an understanding of the modern slavery risks in our supply chains and to establish processes for addressing those risks, with our analysis concluding that the risk in our supply chain is low.

  • 2021 WA State Election: a Campaign Like No Other – Sandwiched with Tactics from Previous Elections
    2021 WA State Election: A campaign like no other – sandwiched with tactics from previous elections. By Hon Eric Ripper AM 3 March 2021 Most State Governments win a second term. Their senior ministers are still mentally and physically fresh. Festering problems have been blamed on their predecessors. The upside of their agenda has been announced but any downsides, including the implementation problems, are still to emerge. Meanwhile, on the ground their enthusiastic new MPs have been building their personal votes. On the other side, many opposition politicians struggle to make the transition from government and to recover political direction, energy and aggression after their loss. Even before COVID-19, the re-election of the McGowan Government, albeit with a smaller majority, could have been expected. The pandemic has vastly enhanced the Government’s political circumstances in at least three ways. It has created an enormous opportunity to demonstrate competence and leadership and to attract public attention to the performance of the Premier – an opportunity which the Government has fully grasped. Secondly, COVID-19 has provided an alibi for broken promises and disappointed expectations. Finally, it has provided a shield against the politics of emerging issues like public sector fraud or homelessness. Despite the pandemic’s economic impact, many voters are better off than they were in 2017, when the WA economy was in recession. JobKeeper, Federal and State economic stimulus programs, rampaging iron ore prices, a rebound in house prices and the deal on WA’s share of the GST are all contributing. Party campaigns are usually made up of 33 days of policy announcements, which the party attempts to tie into a mutually reinforcing narrative.

  • Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics &A
    Online Appendix for Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue (2014) Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics & Change Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue The following document lists the languages of the world and their as- signment to the macro-areas described in the main body of the paper as well as the WALS macro-area for languages featured in the WALS 2005 edi- tion. 7160 languages are included, which represent all languages for which we had coordinates available1. Every language is given with its ISO-639-3 code (if it has one) for proper identification. The mapping between WALS languages and ISO-codes was done by using the mapping downloadable from the 2011 online WALS edition2 (because a number of errors in the mapping were corrected for the 2011 edition). 38 WALS languages are not given an ISO-code in the 2011 mapping, 36 of these have been assigned their appropri- ate iso-code based on the sources the WALS lists for the respective language. This was not possible for Tasmanian (WALS-code: tsm) because the WALS mixes data from very different Tasmanian languages and for Kualan (WALS- code: kua) because no source is given. 17 WALS-languages were assigned ISO-codes which have subsequently been retired { these have been assigned their appropriate updated ISO-code. In many cases, a WALS-language is mapped to several ISO-codes. As this has no bearing for the assignment to macro-areas, multiple mappings have been retained. 1There are another couple of hundred languages which are attested but for which our database currently lacks coordinates.
