Does Technology Use Change When In A Developed Country? A Case Study Of Libyans In Australia, Fouad Elgahwash, Mark Freeman
Dr Mark Freeman
With developing countries now gaining access to modern banking services for their customers, research is needed to understand how developing countries will adapt to these changes. Since the 1980s, in the Arabic region, technological expansion has occurred with a focus on trade and services offered by industries &¿ recently the banking sector has started to develop banking services through mobile devices and the Internet to improve customer relationships. In particular, the banking sector is an information intensive industry and aims to be at the forefront of advanced use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). One common trend is increasing the …

‘Managing Acid Soils Through Efficient Rotations (MASTER)’ is a long-term pasture–crop rotation experiment commenced in 1992. One of the objectives was to demonstrate the extent of crop, pasture, and animal responses to lime application on a typical acidic soil in the 500–800 mm rainfall zone of south-eastern Australia. Two types of pastures (perennial v. annual pastures) with or without lime application were established in 1992. Fifteen- to eighteen-month-old Merino hoggets were used as test animals and were changed annually. This paper reports the results of sheep responses to liming from the 4 continuous pasture treatments over 6 years from 1992 …

Decolonising, Multiplicities And Mining In The Eastern Goldfields, Western Australia, Leah Gibbs
Leah Maree Gibbs
In this 'postcolonial' era, peoples and places around the globe continue to face ongoing colonisation. Indigenous peoples in particular experience colonisation in numerous forms. Despite recent attempts to 'decolonise' indigenous spaces, hegemonic systems of production, governance and thinking often perpetuate colonial structures and relationships, resulting in further entrenched colonisation or 'deep colonising' (Rose, 1999). The interface between indigenous communities and the mining industry provides fertile ground for the tensions emerging between decolonising and deep colonising. Gold mining operations at Placer Dome's Granny Smith mine in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia present a valuable case study for examining this tension. …

Shifting Welfare, Shifting People: Rural Development, Housing And Population Mobility In Australia, Rae Dufty, Christopher Gibson
Shifting Welfare, Shifting People: Rural Development, Housing And Population Mobility In Australia, Rae Dufty, Christopher Gibson
Chris Gibson
Rural welfare is more than addressing problems of ‘poverty’. As we argue here, social policy initiatives are also conceived by governments as solutions to geographical problems about uneven regional development and population distribution. What these problems were, and how welfare provision could solve them, has varied from generation to generation and takes shape in place-specific ways. That welfare provision has operated as de facto geographical development and population policy is particularly the case in Australia, in its context of massive continental size and heterogeneous rural places. In Australia, the ‘rural’ means much more than just the ‘countryside’ surrounding or between …

Ambient Australia: Music, Meditation And Tourist Places, Christopher Gibson, John Connell
Ambient Australia: Music, Meditation And Tourist Places, Christopher Gibson, John Connell
Chris Gibson
This chapter examines how music informs the creation of tourist places in Australia. It discusses one genre-ambient music-and the way it is related to geography both symbolically (in terms of cultural representations), and literally (in terms of links to musical and touristic activities in particular towns). The rise of ambient music has contributed to the imaginative representation of a touristic Australia of "natural" physical and cultural landscapes, where indigenous people are particularly significant. Designed to encourage relaxation and even sleep, in its cover art, its sounds and lyrics (where they exist), ambient music has emphasized "special" places both generic and …
