		Detailed estimates of local government funding of arts and cultural activities are not available for this edition of this publication but are expected to be available for a future edition, when the ABS begins to classify local government data by a more detailed Local Government Purpose Classification.
		During the previous period from 2002-03 to 2003-04 cultural funding by the Australian government increased by $28.9m (1.7%) while the contribution by the state and territory governments had risen by $69.7m (3.0%) during this period.
		The increase in funding by the Australian Government was primarily for Broadcasting and film, which received $1,096.5m in 2004-05 compared to $1,012.8m in 2003-04, an increase of $83.7m or 8.3%.

		Australian governments’ responses to the Great Depression were largely inadequate; however, it is necessary to identify whether inadequacies were due to the lack of theory, means or will.
		The limited means of the government meant that sufficient Australia could not afford the redemption of £5 million worth of Treasury bills that were to fall, due in mid 1931.
		Either the government undertake measures to implement a cut in the Basic Wage, increase the level of protection for secondary manufactures, freeze access to sterling balances, increase taxes and lower government expenditure or the bank would be unable to provide finance.

	The Australian Defense Force
		The government has stated that "Australia's security interests go well beyond the physical protection of Australian territory" and Australia's security interests are "inextricably linked to the security and stability of the Asia-Pacific region." Australia has also officially recognized the existence of the broadened range of threats to security.
		Australian defense thinking is steeped in the realist philosophy, and the public position of the Australian defense bureaucracy is that they have neither the charter nor the resources to plan for missions not directly associated with the defense of Australia against military attack.
		The government recognizes the ADF as a resource with capabilities that are useful in the context of the broadened security paradigm and which are often unavailable from other agencies.

	US and Australian governments delay release of Guantánamo detainee
		While Australian citizen Mamdouh Habib was officially informed early last week that he will be freed without charge from Guantánamo Bay, US and Australian authorities have been involved in a series of crude manoeuvres designed to delay his repatriation.
		Australian Attorney General Phillip Ruddock told the local media that although shackling Habib was “not part of the plan”, he did not rule it out.
		Washington’s announcement on January 11 was a severe embarrassment for the Australian government and punctured its claims to have a “special relationship” with the Bush administration.

	East Timor - betrayal, hypocrisy, invasion and genocide (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Australian governments since 1975 must share a huge responsibility for the tragic events in East Timor.
		In a series of purges and massacres since 1975 the brutal regime has murdered at least a third of the population of East Timor, a genocide that ranks with that of Pol Pot in Cambodia.
		In my opinion, this makes any Australian Prime Minister or Cabinet Minister involved in giving aid to the regime, knowing that some of that aid was to be used for murder or genocide, accessories to those crimes.

	Green Left - Features: Why Australian governments support dictators in Asia
		Australian governments' bipartisan support for dictators in the Asian region and beyond comes from their need to protect and expand Australian big business interests in trade and investment.
		If the Australian government took strong action against dictators -- like ending military cooperation and supporting sanctions -- billions of dollars of trade and investments would be at risk.
		Australian investment in 1996-97 in Asian dictatorships or regimes with major human rights and undemocratic practices was $17.8 billion.

	GRAIN \| Growing Resistance \| Confronting GM agriculture \| Australian states go GM free
		That is because a string of decisions in the last two weeks by Australian state governments - banning or placing a moratorium on the planting of genetically modified (GM) canola in order to prevent the loss of markets for wheat as well as non-GE canola - has made Conko's US-government funded tour appear obsolete.
		This week, the South Australian parliament is debating legislation to impose a moratorium on genetically engineered canola, and a similar bill is before the Australian Capital Territory parliament.
		Tager of Greenpeace welcomes the decisions by the state governments, but sees as the next critical decision the imminent decision by the New South Wales government on whether it approves a massive 3,500-hectare 'trial' of GE canola.

	Six steps for Australian governments to improve housing affordability - On Line Opinion - 6/10/2003
		The Great Australian Dream of home ownership remains a driving force in Australian economic life, although market accessibility, affordability, and the expectations of individuals and the wider society have changed dramatically in the past 50 years.
		Australians love their homes, whether they are inner-city designer warehouse conversions, cottages with a backyard washing line and picket fence, or a beachside holiday shack being demolished to allow a brand new medium-density development to be built.
		In addition, a number of economic and social changes in Australian society are making it more difficult for Australians to purchase their own homes, including the changing employment profile in Australia, later and second family formation, divorce, greater longevity and changing consumption trends supported by unprecedented levels of household debt.

		In addition, there will be an ethics group or committee established to advise within a period of 12 months COAG regarding a regime to ensure that there effectively can be mandated an arrangement so that embryos are not created for the purpose of research.
		So what happens is that you have the ethics committee, it reports within a period of a year, and if there were agreement on that regime then you could make a change at that 12-month point.
		That was one of the clear objectives we all had and I thought today’s COAG meeting, and I’ve been coming here for almost four years, Bob’s the only Premier who’s been here longer than I have, this has been the most positive and constructive COAG meeting I’ve attended.
