Australian Economy: Budget And Surplus australian economy budget surplus myths meet the China Syndrome The Governmentis banking on the expectation that the tax cuts will not flow into http://www.brookesnews.com/051605budget.html
Extractions: Monday16 May 2005 Costellos budget has received much praise, some of it generous, much of it grudging. But what really matters is not so much the budget but the thinking behind its principle parts and how it will affect the Australian economy. In a glowing report Terry McCrann, business correspondent for the Herald-Sun praised Costellos sustainable stabilising surpluses ( Crowning glory for Costello, 11 May ). He was not the only one to fail understand the nature of surpluses. David Uren, economics correspondent for The Australian made the same error, when he claimed that new spending and tax cuts . . . will not force interest rates higher because of accumulating surpluses. George Megalogenis, economics writer for The Australian wrote in a similar vein, saying that Mr Costello wanted a big surplus, to assure the Reserve Bank that domestic demand was not about to run ahead of the economys capacity to supply it. The old Keynesian view was that governments accumulated surpluses in the good times so that they could spend them when the bad times arrived. This was called counter-cyclical. What is overlooked is that these surpluses are the product of loose monetary policies which in themselves are the cause of the so-called business cycle.
Extractions: April 2001 COTA commends the Australian Bankers' Association for its initiative in developing the E-commerce Industry Action Plan to address issues identified by the Human Rights and Equal Opportunities Commission (HREOC), in its Inquiry and report " Accessibility of Electronic Commerce and New Service and Information Technologies for Older Australians and People with a Disability" (HREOC 2000). The Plan is available at www.bankers.asn.au under Disability Action Plan. The plan mainly covers electronic banking issues, and is essentially concerned with reviewing, writing and adopting as best practice industry standards, guidelines for electronic banking facilities. Face-to-face banking issues are also addressed, and discussed under Recommendation Two. COTA, as a representative on the Accessible E-commerce Forum arising from the HREOC Inquiry, welcomes the opportunity to comment on the Plan, and to nominate representatives for the working groups being set up to progress standards for ATMs, EFTPOS, phone based services and Internet banking.
Extractions: Of course, such an event is very unlikely to happen, but we can't simply rely on the good sense and protocols of the banks, especially if many are overseas-owned. Some 85 percent of our banking assets are held by Australian banks. Local boards need to have duties to, and be accountable for, their bank in New Zealand. Not so long ago, Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Rob Muldoon would ring bank boards and bully them for his short-term political objectives. Would today's boards be better able to withstand bullying from their overseas head offices? Without New Zealand regulation, there would be little to stand in the way.
Extractions: Actually, taking the insurance or reducing the level of insurance on time deposits, actually increases the fragility of the banks because it will mean that any twitch, any nervousness, anything that shocks consumer depositor sentiment, will have an immediate knock-on effect, particularly small banks - the weaker banks see people very quickly move deposits out of them.
CSIRO Australia - Media Release 98/273 - Internet While some australian banks have introduced Internetbased home banking of the economy, at least one US bank has made inroads into corporate Australia. http://www.csiro.au/news/mediarel/mr1998/mr98273.html
Extractions: CSIRO Media Release Ms Wendy Parsons Mobile Fax AUSTRALIA COULD MISS INTERNET TRADE OPPORTUNITIES Australia is missing a glorious opportunity to become a major player in the global information economy, Victorian parliamentarians were told today. Dr Phil McCrea, CSIRO, told a Science Briefing that many Australian organisations do not yet realise the potential of the Information Economy. "Research indicates that the total value of goods and services traded between companies over the Internet will reach US$327 billion in the year 2002," Dr McCrea says. "While some Australian banks have introduced Internet-based home banking services, they are lagging behind their American counterparts in recognising that they form an integral part of the global information economy," Dr McCrea told the parliamentarians. "Unlike their US counterparts, most Australian banks have been slow to accept credit card payments over the Internet, particularly for small to medium businesses. Furthermore, as proof of the globalisation of the economy, at least one US bank has made inroads into corporate Australia. Chase Manhattan Bank is handling the accounts payables of a major Australian retailer by sending them over the Internet to the US for processing. "We are now living in what is generally described as an Information Era, in which the economic strength of an organisation or country is characterised by how much information it owns, controls, or has access to so-called Information Capital.
