A lot of the early stuff on SME’s we have already covered, but it is important to get the mind map of the Characteristics of an SME into your book.

Australia’s Economy

26 Friday Feb 2016

Posted by Mr B Toohey in 11BUS

≈ Comments Off on Australia’s Economy

Here are a few resources to help you identify possible areas of the Australian economy to examine in your assignment:

CIA World Factbook – Australia (click on Economy dropdown). Up to date statistics and a good overview of the sorts of things you might consider how business impacts upon.

An Introduction to the Australian Economy – excellent report from a respected Australian economist (Saul Eslake). It is a bit old (2007) so don’t use the figures, but use the history or the ideas in it, and find updated figures

Australian Bureau of Statistics – repository of all sorts of statistics about Australia. Have a look around 🙂

Australian Treasury – the government department responsible for monitoring and managing Australia’s finances and economy. Try particularly the ‘Economic Roundup’

Social Justice in the news

16 Tuesday Feb 2016

Posted by Mr B Toohey in 11C&L

≈ Comments Off on Social Justice in the news

Sorry if I haven’t made it back yet – I’m hopefully on the bus after climbing Mount Lofty with my Year 9 Tutor group… and will be back soon! In the meantime:

Have you seen the case of ‘baby Asha’? 

http://www.news.com.au/national/queensland/news/government-wont-budge-on-baby-asha-despite-more-rallies-planned-outside-brisbane-hospital/news-story/05b0e98a6176ae8acc93ff2142fe5dac

http://www.9news.com.au/national/2016/02/15/19/40/baby-asha-lady-cilento-hospital-staff-refute-keeping-nauru-baby-denying-queensland-children

http://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2016/feb/13/baby-asha-and-nauru-protests-held-as-hospital-staff-oppose-transfer

  1. Read the articles
  2. Summarise the case of ‘baby Asha’
  3. Identify 4 possible social justice issues raised in the articles (not just about Asha):
    1. do you agree each is a social justice issue? Why / not?
    2. what are some possible alternative actions that might be taken?
    3. what are the consequences of these actions – and are there further social justice concerns or legal problems with these actions?
  4. If there is a choice between following the law and acting in the spirit of social justice, how should we act? (as individuals, or as society through our government)
