Should Australia Bans Live Export?

Australia live export industry also plays a major role in providing meat to countries which cannot produce enough livestock to feed their population and prefer live animals over boxed and chilled meat. These countries are often deficient in resources and have a geography and climate that is difficult to raise livestock in. In Indonesia, only 23% of its population have access to refrigeration in their homes, eliminating the option of exporting chilled meat overseas [NTLEA, 2013]. Importing countries

Talking about live exports of Australian animals Slide 3: Here are cattle and sheep enjoying life in Australia Slide 4: This is how our animals can be treated after they are exported. How on earth can we let this happen?!? We have come such a long way in the last 200 years as a country and we should be proud of how we have evolved into a humane and caring society. We now have legislated rights for animals, with each State strictly enforcing Animal Welfare laws. However, Slide 5: there is a

in the hope of cashing in on some success. Unfortunately this was not the case for the owners of Admire Rakti or Araldo, who tragically died after the race. This sudden and shocking news has re-ignited the issue of whether horse racing should be banned in Australia. Ironically this issue is driven on both sides by the same impulse: the love of the horse.

Southeast Asian Nations and includes countries such as Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand along of course with Australia. APEC is the Asia-Pacific Economic Corporation and they focus on working to reduce tariffs and other trade barriers across the Asia-Pacific region, creating efficient domestic economies and dramatically increasing exports. The two demographics that I have chosen to compare are Burma and China. Burma and China both come from either ASEAN or APEC and I am going

2016). Plain packaging also enhances the effectiveness of GHW and eliminates misleading catchphrases that lure customers including impressionable youths (Wakefield et al., 2012). These measures have been effective in reducing tobacco demand in Australia. The National Tracking Survey conducted from 2012-2014 assessed Australian smokers’ responses to plain packaging and enlarged GHW (Australian Department of Health, 2016). Participants reported that plain packaging reduced tobacco’s appeal and that

generating extreme weather events which then affect the ones the most that are least accountable for the cause [2]. It is apparent that we are currently facing a global challenge that requires a solution urgently. As United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon worded it: ‘We are the first generation to be able to end poverty, and the last generation that can take steps to avoid the worst impacts of climate change’. What is Australia’s current role in the global food network as a surplus producer?

reservoirs. With this impending influx of resources, many regions will see an increase in production and consumption. Throughout this paper, we will discuss the current methods of extraction, the uses of natural gas both past and present, and the US export ban of crude oil. Finally, after reviewing the reasons behind the current low prices on energy, we can make projections for the future of natural gas. Shale production and fracking methods have opened a whole world to the oil and gas industry. Just

97 percent of climate scientists agree that the rate of global warming trends the planet is now experiencing and this is not a natural occurrence, but is lead by human activities, which means the main reason of global warming is human activities. (live science, 2015) According to the National Climate Assessment, human influences are the number one cause of global warming. Human activities is one of the

grossly overstated and are outweighed by the wide-ranging environmental, public health and weapons proliferation problems and risks. Uranium accounted for 0.19 per cent of Australia's export revenue in 2011/12 (the last available figures)1. By the most generous estimate, uranium accounts for 0.015% of all jobs in Australia.2 For Queensland, there is the additional limitation that the state has around just 2% of Australia's uranium resources. Clearly, the industry has no capacity to deliver significant

It has been the icon of Thai tradition, culture and royal power through centuries since the old Siam.
