	Australia: Environmental Issues (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Australia is richly endowed with both non-renewable energy resources such as coal and natural gas, and renewable energy resources such as solar, tidal and wind power.
		One of Australia's main objectives in developing a sustainable energy policy is to ensure that the country's energy sector is well placed to take advantage of economic and environmental opportunities and challenges that will emerge both domestically and internationally in coming years.
		Australia recently has launched the National Pollutant Inventory, an internet database, as a means of providing the community, industry, and the government with reliable information regarding the emission of pollutants into the atmosphere.

		Australia is now expected to refuse to ratify the protocol, but Government sources said ad hoc inspections might be allowed.

	WTO \| Trade policy review - Australia 2002
		Australia's impressive economic performance during the past decade or so is due in large part to sound macroeconomic policies in combination with some far-reaching structural reforms that have reinforced past unilateral trade liberalization, according to a WTO Secretariat report on the trade policies and practices of Australia.
		Australia’s SPS and quarantine requirements have been criticized by a number of its trading partners on the grounds that they are unduly stringent and therefore protectionist.

	News: February 18, 2002 (Bega, Australia)
		As I discovered, they're actually native to Australia and were brought from Australia to California back in the 1800s when the transcontinental railroad was being built across treeless Nevada and Utah, because the rail barons needed trees that grew fast and big to make into railroad ties.
		Here in Australia, though, the tone is a bit more light-hearted because Australia, of course, doesn't have an abundance of winter activities, especially considering that most of whatever snow that falls in this country is confined to a small area near Mt. Kosciusko which, at 6,700', is Australia's highest point.
		Australia adopted a Senate and House of Representatives, each very similar to America's system, while retaining some elements of the English system, with a Prime Minister (currently John Howard) who is a sitting member of the House.

	Telecommunications Interception Legislation Amendment Bill 2002 (Australia)
		Note: The TI Bill was not discussed during the Committee's two other hearings on the package of Bills (8 April 2002 and 18 April 2002).
		When EFA lodged its submission on 5 April 2002, the intent of the legislation was unknown because the Bill and related government documents are ambiguous.
		Our major goals are to advocate the amendment of laws and regulations in Australia and elsewhere (both current and proposed) which restrict free speech, and to educate the community at large about the social, political and civil liberties issues involved in the use of computer based communications systems.

	2002 Australia Hospitality Outlook
		Share prices of the few remaining listed hotel trusts in Australia dropped significantly post- September as many trusts were already under share price pressure prior to Septem- ber with significant discounting of listed stock price to net tangible asset backing.
		While Australia may get its share of merger and acquisition activity involving some of the global brands, the domestic MandA market provides only limited opportunity, with most consolidation by global brands already taken place in recent years.
		The restructuring of some investment vehicles may see portfolios of properties change hands en-block, although this is likely to be restricted to a change of ownership and not affect branding of the assets.

	News: March 16, 2002 (Winton, Australia)
		The event made me think more deeply about the Aborigine situation in Australia and so, being in the middle of the Outback, I thought this would be a good place to discuss it.
		Unlike in America and in New Zealand, the native tribes in Australia didn't mount a coordinated resistance to the white intrusions, mainly because there were dozens of separate Aborigine groups, many of whom spoke unique languages.
		Paterson remains one of Australia's greatest literary talents and, through his poems and stories, chronicled life in the Outback better than perhaps any other writer.

	The 2002 drought in Australia
		The BoM downloadable Australian annual rainfall data 1900-2004 shows clearly that the 2002 drought was "..just another cyclic drought...", with 340.56 mm of rain falling on average Australia wide for 2002.
		In early 2003 we were very suspicious of these claims because most rainfall histories we reviewed showed dryer episodes than 2002 at varying time-spans back into the past but very rarely did we have to look back 100 years to find a dryer episode.
		It is obvious from the map that for vast areas of Australia the 2002 drought was simply a repetition of a similar but dryer event not too distant in the past.
