It is a quarter-century since Australia first connected to the internet, but this technological breakthrough had a long gestation. At the start of the 1980s, you could access a serious computer by studying computer science. The data arrived in Melbourne and was then routed on to other Australian universities. We were the node that linked Australia to the world – with about as much traffic as can arrive every few seconds in a household today.]]> 2016-02-11 12:14:03 UTC https://padlet.com/h00257212/9pyullho02t1/wish/94563509 h00257212 https://padlet.com/h00257212/9pyullho02t1/wish/108697320

The instances of Australians interacting with second screens while watching sporting events or television content has been on the rise, with three of every four social media user in Australia reportedly engaged in second screen. For brands, this presents a unique opportunity to augment consumer-viewing experiences by reaching consumers on multiple platforms, in this instance, the television and mobile screen. For example, Unilever’s ice cream brand, Cornetto, in 2011 encouraged consumers to Shazam its TV commercial that led them to its mobile site. The app then enabled consumers to send personalized messages to their friends through Facebook.]]> 2016-05-02 08:25:41 UTC https://padlet.com/h00257212/9pyullho02t1/wish/108701776 h00257212 https://padlet.com/h00257212/9pyullho02t1/wish/108702157

Communication has become more accessible and easier to learn more about other cultures through social means. Migrants have brought aspects of their home culture, including food, music and customs, which have enriched Australian society. Many Australians have a better understanding of other cultures, making us more understanding of diversity.]]> 2016-05-02 08:57:44 UTC https://padlet.com/h00257212/9pyullho02t1/wish/108705367 h00257212 https://padlet.com/h00257212/9pyullho02t1/wish/109054971
In Australia, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) and Special Broadcasting Corporation (SBS) are both owned by the federal government. The ABC’s editorial independence is enshrined in legislation. The act specifies that the ABC must maintain an “independent national broadcasting service”. 

Because the Australian government recognizes the importance of the mass media to politics and society, the Australian Communication and Media Authority allocates television and radio frequencies to community broadcasters. Community media organizations are usually funded by the government, membership and advertising.

The first story 
The Turnbull government will put its post-budget pitch into overdrive ahead of an election in July. Treasurer Scott Morrison insists his budget isn't about winners and losers, but setting out a plan to grow the economy and boost jobs over the next decade.Mr Morrison's first budget - which came just days before Malcolm Turnbull is set to seek a July 2 election - contained tax cuts for the wealthy and businesses, but a clawback of tax breaks on high-end retirement nest eggs.

The second story 

Australia proposes a 3-year multiple entry visa for low risk nationals from India. The Government says it will test changes to visa arrangements in key markets in a bid to boost visitor and investor numbers. These will include a user-pays visa fast-track service for nationals from India and the United Arab Emirates, and a three-year multiple entry visa for low risk nationals from India, Thailand, Vietnam and Chile.

These two stories are an example of the benefits of globalization.
