But the figures in the annual review of government services by the Productivity Commission, to be released today, mask the continued fall in personal injury cases as legislative changes to tort law, particularly in NSW and Victoria, reduce the number of claims coming to court.
In other areas, the report by the steering committee for the review of government services reveals that Australian governments have cut their spending on vocational education and training by more than $120 million, despite the national shortage of skilled workers.
In the last financial year, lodgements in the NSW District Court fell by 1200 to 7200 and by 3300 in the Victorian County Court to 5500.

The Australian Building Codes Board (ABCB) produces and maintains the Building Code of Australia (the BCA), a regulatory framework standardising a minimum form of construction for buildings in Australia.
It was considered that the indicative costs of the new regulation prepared by the ABCB were not realistic and should be reviewed.
The BCA's perspective was considered to be a narrow one and should embrace all noise issues in multi-dwelling living including wall and floor sound and impact transmission, waste plumbing, reticulation water noise, storm-water noise, lifts and plantrooms and external noise intrusion.

Questions of equity and sustainability needed to be addressed, for sure, but it is fair to say that we underestimated the lag time for the creation of institutions to regulate banking and financial sectors, for example.
This aspect of development has moved to the centre of our work now, and from Jakarta to Seoul, from Bangkok to Hanoi, we are focusing much of our human and financial support to governments on strengthening the capacity to monitor, regulate and support the flow of foreign investment and local savings.
Another lesson, and one which has received less attention, is the power of information to support equitable growth and, conversely, the power of censorship or misinformation to distort it.

 Free speech still a fragile flower : Australian Financial Review
But it remains a symbol of the country's identity crisis since 1998, when Asia's financial meltdown put an abrupt end to decades of guaranteed economic growth of almost 10 per cent and forced a reappraisal of the government's Orwellian role in society.
Singapore has effectively been buffeted by three recessions in the past six years the economic crisis of 1998, the collapse of the technology boom in 2001 and last year's SARS epidemic, which killed 33 of its residents, cut GDP growth to about 1 per cent and sent unemployment soaring to a 17-year high.
On the positive side, Singapore has established itself as the region's financial and business hub and it offers better conditions for foreign investment than any of its rivals.

Bucknall, an Australian living in Singapore, sees travel bans as an “appropriate overreaction” that cost companies little in the short term but protect them from the unknown.
The bans have led to the discovery of alternatives to business travel such as web conferencing, where colleagues from several countries can watch a PowerPoint presentation over the internet while listening to the speaker’s voice over the phone or through their computer.

The way to do it would be this: if a Chinese user tried to view a website outside China with political content, such as Dacankao Daily News (also known as VIP Reference, a Chinese dissident information source), the address would be recognised by a filter program that screens out forbidden sites.
The request would then be thrown away, with the user receiving a banal message: "Operation timed out." Great, but the financial excitement of a wired China had quickly led to a proliferation of internet service providers.

 Tax claim on Richo in danger | The Nation | The Australian   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Legal experts say the Australian Taxation Office's claim over $1.4million allegedly hidden by Mr Richardson in a Bank Leumi account in Zurich is set to fail because it relies on documents that cannot be verified as authentic.
The Australian revealed yesterday that Mr Richardson had admitted to receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars in "gifts" through a Swiss bank account controlled by Rivkin, who committed suicide in May last year after the collapse of his business empire and a brief jail term.
The ATO is also relying on Swiss investigation transcripts from December 2002 obtained by the Financial Review that tax and litigation lawyers say cannot be used as evidence because of an international treaty on the use of confidential information.

That was the date The Australian Financial Review published the expose of the year, the Swiss bank accounts that held shares in Offset Alpine either directly or indirectly for Rivkin and his two cronies, Graham Richardson and Trevor Kennedy.
For instance, he said that an article in The Australian Financial Review meant his "participation in the affairs of Offset Alpine had diminished his reputation as a sagacious and astute stockbroker".
Against The Australian in October 2001 a jury found he had been defamed by articles that implied he had acted dishonestly in that he had sold certain stocks while recommending to readers of his tip sheet they should buy those stocks.

In answer to questions at a Senate Estimates hearing in May 2003, I noted that there had been consultations with China and others on the legislation, that the legislation itself is legally sound and WTO-consistent, but that it is important to ensure that an important trading partner's views have been considered.
The Government remains committed to ensuring that Australian industry has access to an effective and transparent anti-dumping regime.
A number of points have been discussed with China and with Australian industry and these discussions have enabled us to make significant progress in addressing the areas of key concern.
