But even under the best social circumstances, strong, welltrained law enforcement is necessary to protect us all, and especially the weak and vulnerable, from predators.

Welfare State Expansion

This is also the region with the fastest rate of economic growth, so, in addition to more mouths to feed, there is already a shift in consumption patterns in a segment of the market where personal incomes are rising, putting more pressure on food supply. All of this has important implications for Australia and, in turn, has economic, environmental and social implications for our farmers and our supply chains in what they produce and how they produce it.

Alongside our additional investments, the Gillard Labor Government is undertaking major reforms – with the goal of making Australia’s schools among the best in the world so we can compete successfully with countries like Singapore, Korea and Hong Kong.
