THE ENVIRONMENT The deadly devastation of global warming The Great Barrier Reef is the world’s global warning canary in the coal mine, and it is dying (The Age, 1/4). Action needed to be taken decades ago and the Coalition has resisted every step of the way. From destroying the Labor government’s attempts to introduce a carbon price, which will now be imposed on us by our trading nations, as Jessica Irvine says (Opinion, 1/4), to encouraging new coal mines and a gas-led recovery, the government has failed Australians. It trumpets the spending of billions of dollars on submarines and missiles “to keep Australians safe” but re ....
“I was concerned that we weren’t going to make it through the semester,” Grundmeier said. In December 2019, Grundmeier and his wife University of Massachusetts professor Anne Fitzpatrick welcomed their second child, Peter. Their five-year-old daughter, Catherine, was attending pre-kindergarten. On March 8, 2020, Grundmeier and Fitzpatrick pulled their daughter out of school due to increasing concern surrounding Covid-19.

The Baby-Profit Gap for firms If you just took a break from home-schooling the kids to read this, then this post is for you. We know that female firms have lower profits than male firms (e.g. data on firms in Africa here), and we have some suggestions as to why (sector, for example). But we lack good clear insights into what precisely a lot of the mechanisms are, particularly when profit differentials persist within sector. Into this space comes a nicely done forthcoming paper from Solène Delecourt and Anne Fitzpatrick. They look at firms in Uganda. Focusing on shops that sell drugs (anti-malarial drugs to be precise), they find no outlier here: female owned firms have profits that are, on average, 60 percent lower than their male counterparts. ....

BUILDING MODERN MELBOURNE These decisions belong with government bodies Why should a private corporation, such as Melbourne Airport, have the planning power to stop development because they don’t want curfews or pushback from resident groups (‘‘Airport chiefs eye flight path veto’’, The Age, 18/1)? Planning decisions should remain the responsibility of state and local government entities. As for the reported 20 noise complaints a month, that it is a huge number, because once a resident has registered a noise complaint, their next complaint is not counted again, so this translates to at least 240 new complainants each year. ....
