In case of emergency

Article Abstract:

International emergency assistance companies are tapping into the pockets of Chinese tourists and businessman as they travel abroad. The majority of clients are foreign tourists who are persuaded to purchase an emergency health assistance policy because of the generally low standards of healthcare available in remote parts of the country.

John Howard, 'Stolen Children' and the Wik decision

Article Abstract:

John Howard's treatment of issues concerning the aboriginal people of Australia points only to the self-serving principles of his government. Howard's failure to respond to the needs of the aboriginal culture does not only make him the ridicule of Australian society, but also makes Australia the point of contention regarding race. It also questions the policies that Howard used to propel himself to public office.
