A simple scan could save a life: MedicAlert tags adopt QR codes "IndyWatch Feed Qld"

Medical ID tag bracelets have gone digital, with the addition of QR codes for the first time in Australia. A simple scan will show extensive patient information and provide health professionals access to critical personal health records in seconds.

Australian MedicAlert Foundation has collaborated with South Australian paramedics, launching the new national QR Code ID service in SA yesterday.

So, what information will be made available to medical professionals with a single scan?

Former Prisoners Find Services Inaccessible "IndyWatch Feed Qld"

A recent study found that the services available to former inmates in Australia struggle to access services that are supposedly made available to them post-release.

 

The inaccessibility of these services leads to greater recidivism and reincarceration, a social and economic harm to the broader community.

 

Experts are calling on the government to overhaul the system and emulate systems that have been used overseas.

How dangerous is the European far-right ? "IndyWatch Feed Politics.au"

As is usual with trends of all kinds, some recent electoral successes for far-right parties in Europe have been extrapolated into a narrative in which the rise of the far-right is just about unstoppable.

That narrative took a blow with the recent Spanish elections in which the far-right Vox party performed poorly and its coalition with the traditional conservative Popular Party failed to secure a majority. Possibly as a result, the leader of the German CDU backed away from a suggestion that his party might go into a similar coalition with the AfD. And a similar coalition government in Finland appears to be on the verge of collapse.

From the other side of the world, its hard to know what to make of all this, but important to try to understand it. So, Ill toss out some thoughts and invite readers closer to the action to set me straight.

As I wrote a few years ago, the rise of a Trump-style far right has been driven by the collapse of the neoliberal consensus that dominated politics throughout the capitalist world from the 1970s, with power alternating between hard neoliberalism (represented by traditional conservative parties) and soft neoliberalism (represented by formerly socialist and social democratic parties). As the failures of neoliberalism became undeniable, there was no longer enough support to sustain two neoliberal parties, and alternatives began to emerge on both left and right.

The most dramatic manifestation of this process on the right has been Donald Trumps takeover of the US Republican party, which is now well to the right of any of the European far-right parties (with the possible exception of Fidesz in Hungary), and still commands around 50 per cent electoral support.

In Europe, though the more common party has been the rise of a far-right party commanding around 20 per cent of the vote. In most cases, this doesnt look to me like an upsurge in the popularity of rightwing ideas. Rather, this 20 per cent has always been there, waiting for the circumstances in which views that are normally unacceptable can gain political expression.

In my own home state of Queensland, for example, the racist One Nation party scored more than 20 per cent of the votes in a state election in 1998, before fading back into single digits.

A 20 per cent vote for the far-right enough to make it difficult for traditional conservatives to win government in their own right, but usually not enough for the far-right to lead a government of their own. Hence, the contortions mentioned above.

A lot of attention has been focused on the neo-fascist origins of some of the fa...

As Peter Dutton talks up nuclear power, it is not surprising to see Andrew Liveris shifting his pitch from a gas led recovery to a call for Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) to be considered for the 2032 Brisbane Olympics. Dutton is engaged in politics, Liveris in fantasy. Rex Patrick reports on the nuclear distraction.

Small modular reactors (SMRs) are nuclear powered reactors with an electrical power output of less than 300 megawatts (MW).

The Long Story, a new book uncovers neglected stories of Australias interracial history "IndyWatch Feed Capricornia"

Throughout history, major social and political events have impacted and shaped our interracial relations. Yet often the historical narrative is told through limited perspectives and these important interracial events are left untold.

Co-author and Member for Moreton, Graham Perrett teams up with Queenslander and proud Murri Man, Wayne Long, to launch a new book and tell The Long Story

A child of both Aboriginal ancestry (Kamilaroi Nation) and Chinese heritage, Wayne Long has lived in the intersection of cultures and talks in the book about how major events, like the Voice to Parliament, can impact the personal and political experience of our country. The Long Story illustrates Australias brutal history of injustice, blood and tragedy, but through this, many incredible stories of resilience.

Charles Sturt University media spoke with MP Graham Perrett about the importance of this book in telling an accurate story of Australian history and how understanding Australias historical relationship with race sheds light on current issues.

Vale Peter McCawley "IndyWatch Feed Politics.au"

Australia and the Asia-Pacific region more broadly has just lost one of its most gifted development economists. Dr Peter McCawley, AM, died peacefully in Canberra, Australia, on 18 July, having had cancer for some time.

A person is obviously much more than their CV, but Peters CV is worth noting. Even just reading the first six items in his CV all written in Peters characteristic short, sharp, clear style tells us he was a person committed to international development and policymaking at the most senior levels, right from the beginning. His CV starts:

1972-1974 Lecturer, Faculty of Economics, Gadjah Mada University, Yogyakarta 1974-1975 Economic Adviser to (then) Mr Bill Hayden, MP, Minister for Social Security and later Treasurer of Australia 1976-1985 Research Fellow (1976-80) and Senior Research Fellow and Head, Indonesia Project (1981-85), Dept of Economics, Research School of Pacific Studies, Australian National University 1986-1991 Deputy Director General, AIDAB; (1) Policy Planning and Management Division (1986-89); (2) Community, Commercial and International Programs Division (1989-91) 1991 Economic Adviser to Mr John Kerin, MP, Treasurer of Australia 1992-1996 Executive Director, Asian Development Bank, Manila (representing Australia, Hong Kong, Cambodia, Federated States of Micronesia, Kiribati, Nauru, Solomon Is., and Tuvalu)

And that is just a truncated version. Peters CV also includes being Dean of the Asian Development Bank Institute in Tokyo; a visiting fellow in the Arndt-Corden Economics Division at the ANU College of Asia and the Pacific; a member of the Jackson Committee on the Review of the Australian Overseas Aid Program; economic adviser to the Indonesian Planning Agency, Bappenas; an adjunct professor at the University of Queensland; and a member of the board of The Asia Foundation. And so on.

He published seven books, including a history of the first 50 years of the Asian Development Bank which was translated into both Japanese and Chinese. Several of his economic books were written or co-authored in Bahasa Indonesia. He published over 30 articles in newspapers on development issues, and over 30 book reviews. He published 63 articles in journals and books, often in Bahasa Indonesia. The articles covered a wide range of topics, all with brisk, concise titles. To name just a few: The price of electricity in the Bulletin of Indonesian Economic Studies; Aid and poverty: how Australias aid program helps the poor; and Forty years of Australian-Indonesian relations: what have we learned?

But Peter was much more than a bureaucrat or academic author. He was a bridge-builder between Australia and the countries in our region. To illustrate, he once drew up a table on how rich countries and developing countries can view the same development challenge from almost totally...
