Selling the Australian Government
Author: Greg Barns
Publisher: UNSW Press
ISBN: 9780868408026
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 93
Book Description
The fact that governments spend millions of taxpayers’ dollars monitoring the Opposition’s every word and pumping out propaganda to backbenchers to ensure its ‘spin’ reverberates across Australia has rarely been questioned by the media. Greg Barns, a former senior government adviser, provides a revealing insight into the way governments sell themselves, both publicly and behind the scenes, and how their expensive propaganda effort affects the political process.

How to Kill a Country
Author: Linda M. Weiss
Publisher: Allen & Unwin
ISBN: 1741155851
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
It's hard to believe an Australian government could sign a deal which so betrays Australia's interests. How to Kill a Country demonstrates how the FTA as negotiated will seriously damage Australia's institutions, interests and identity. Three of Australia's leading policy analysts have investigated the fine print of Australia's Free Trade Agreement with the US. What they found is that the lopsidedness of the deal is just the beginning of the story. Most harmful is the sacrifice of our national autonomy and control over key institutions that underpin our prosperity. * Our medicines will be more expensive because the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme will be undermined, and competition from generics will be almost extinguished; * Our agricultural exports will be compromised because we open the door to new pests and diseases; * Our top exports beef, dairy, wine and steel will not see the full removal of tariffs and quotas for up to 18 years; * Buy American norms will prevail over Buy Australian in our government procurement markets; * Royalty flows to the US will increase through greater protection for US patents and copyrights. The Australian government claims the FTA will boost Australia's exports and local economy. The reality is that the FTA overturns Australia's laws and institutions, and turns the country into an appendage of the United States. Australia faces the prospect of becoming a Vanishing Country' in the way that Canada is described, 15 years after signing its FTA with the US.

A Note on the Pricing of Australian Government Asset Sales
Author: Paul Docherty
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages :
Book Description
Unlike acquiring company shareholders in Australian takeovers, but like shareholders in government initial public offerings, shareholders of companies purchasing Australian government assets earn economically and statistically significant positive abnormal returns. However, unlike privatisations via initial public offerings where all citizens are entitled to subscribe for shares, in privatisations via asset sales only acquiring company shareholders benefit from any under-pricing. This suggests the need for greater scrutiny to ensure fair pricing in privatisation via asset sales.
