A hard bargain

Article Abstract:

The Dawson recommendation supported competition law that streamlined the process to collectively bargain and boycott, benefiting the small businesses. However, eight months later the legislation was not enacted that caused a debate between the small businesses and the competition lawyers and resulted in the big businesses lobbying Canberra against important changes in this area, especially the issue of collective boycotts.

Mad-cow misery

Article Abstract:

Many countries banned US beef imports when the US beef industry announced its first suspected case of mad-cow disease, which was a boon for Australian farmers, but any bad news of mad-cow disease hurts the beef industry world-wide as it has the potential to limit the consumption of beef. The industry shares are still bullish, despite drought affecting parts of the land and US80 cents exchange rate.
