    • •/ A ot if** M Number 3 & 4 December 1969 Volume 8 DUPLICATING WITHOUT MAKING CARBON COPIES - Hal Wasserman - One of the fascinating features about stamp collecting is that a collector may collect whatever interests him. No matter what the catalogue may include or not in­ clude there is no law that says what the collector must have in his album. It is his own possession to build and expand as he chooses. It is only when the collector wishes to exhibit for competition that certain maxims come into play; then the collector loses some of the freedom he had before. Yet exhibiting need not enjoin a collector from remaining individualistic in his approach, nor does his collection have to be a carbon copy of other similar exhibita This is especially noticeable when viewing exhibits of Olympic Games stamps. Excluding the early Greek Olympic stamps, a collector would not find it too difficult or too expensive to put together a 'complete* collection of the basic stamps. How, then, can an enthusiast put his individual touch on his own exhibit except through a different type of mounting? In my opinion, there are enough unusual items on the philatelic marketplace that a collector could add for nearly every Olympiad, some expensive but many rather nominal in price, that would add sparkle to an exhibit. All of the items mentioned below are listed in various books and guides, in­ cluding Ira Seeoacher's Handbook of Sports Stamps. However, I would like to point out some of these that seem to be overlooked in many of the exhibits.

  • Football Diplomacy Research Fellow Tel
    POLICY BRIEF November 2005 ANTHONY BUBALO Football Diplomacy Research Fellow Tel. +61 2 8238 9140 [email protected] What is the problem? While Australian governments have successfully built pragmatic ties with Asian leaders, a popular dimension to our engagement with Asia has in many respects been missing. This didn’t matter greatly in the past, but today public opinion is increasingly a factor in foreign policy. Governments must influence individuals as well as elites to address global problems such as terrorism and disease and ‘branding’ has become critical to a state’s ability to attract trade, investment and international political support. But a new opportunity to deepen people-to-people links with Asia has arrived in the form of Australia’s recent admission into the Asian Football Confederation. For the first time, Australia will have a significant sporting relationship with Asia. The question is, how can Australia best use this opportunity to enhance its regional image and engagement? What should be done? Here are five ideas for how government, business and the broader community might leverage Australia’s new sporting relationship with Asia: • Football Federation Australia (FFA) should work with business and government to establish a ‘Football Asia Council’ to coordinate commercial, cultural, and public diplomacy programs with Australian participation in Asian football competitions. • FFA, business and government should launch a coordinated effort through this Council to develop football-based tourism and travel. • Austrade should establish a ‘Football Business Club Australia’ to facilitate commercial networking opportunities during matches between Australian and LOWY INSTITUTE FOR Asian teams. FFA should also consider initiating a tri-nations series with Japan INTERNATIONAL POLICY and South Korea, providing an opportunity for greater commercial, cultural, and 31 Bligh Street political engagement with these key countries.
