They heard from an expert panel that they may well be the next victim of Cybercrime. The cost to the world economy in 2011 was $9 billion and Australians are increasingly targets. Speakers warned that one of the biggest problems we face is Australians have been slow to respond to the new cyber realities. Ken Gamble, Executive Chairman of the Internet Fraud Watchdog, told the audience that it was very important for everyone to understand the implications of what is occurring and to ensure their online information is secure and protected. He said the problem in Australia has reached “epidemic proportions” and parents need to make sure their children are educated about cyber security. Other speakers included Mike Taylor, Chief Executive, Money Management who shared a victim story from a business perspective and Detective Inspector, Bruce van der Graaf from the NSW Police Fraud and Cybercrime Squad who spoke of the losses from victims whose credit card details have been sold on the black market.

(incomplete) One in ten Australians live in strata titled homes such as apartments or townhouses; in Sydney it's closer to one in four. But how much do we know about strata title living and what it involves? The University of New South Wales has completed a major study of strata titled homes in NSW, finding a surprising 85 per cent of strata owners in the survey reporting defects in new buildings, and that three in four of these said the defects had not been fixed. The study, headed by Dr Hazel Easthope,  research fellow at the City Futures Research Centre at UNSW’s Faculty of Built Environment,  is the first to look into the experiences of Australia’s three million people who live in the fast growing number of strata title dwellings and found there are major problems with strata living.   NSW Fair Trading is conducting its own review of strata law with results due next year and the UNSW study will be a valuable source. The study will be released at a forum on strata titles being held at The Mint in Macquarie Street, Sydney, 9 to 12am on Monday May 21. NSW Minister for Fair Trading Anthony Roberts will launch the study and a panel discussion on the report will be held by Dr Hazel Easthope, Prof. Bill Randolph( UNSW City Futures Research Centre), Mr Roberts, Stephen Goddard (president of the Owners Corporation Network Australia) and David Ferguson (President Strata Community Australia - NSW). ,UNSW,strata,title,living,flats,apartments,townhouses,Hazel,Easthope,Built,Environment,building,defects,legislation,levies Tue, 22 May 2012 13:22:01 -0800 D619B590-A3B6-11E1-B3050050568336DC Media and Morality Seminar (incomplete) This seminar explores the way in which the media communicates information to the public on important social issues.

While urban agriculture of the community kind is on the rise, commercial urban farms are under threat. More than 60% of Sydney’s fresh produce is grown close to the city, the bulk of it coming from commercial gardens. How we use urban land is shaping up as one of the biggest dilemmas of the 21st Century. A booming population needs to be housed, but it also needs to be fed, and the cost of relying on imported food is already being felt. ,UNSW,urban,farming,agriculture,housing,population,food,security,Alec,Thornton,ADFA,Linda,Corkery,Built,Environment,Susan,Thompson,healthy,cities,Sarah,Van,Erp,Gordon,Ha,Chinese,vegetables Thu, 29 Mar 2012 09:02:27 -0800 6C2E6970-7885-11E1-8D1F0050568336DC Talking Point - Litigation Funding in Australia (incomplete) Associate Professor Michael Legg and Professor Justin O'Brien of UNSW discuss the impacts of possible changes to litigation funding in Australia.

(INTERVIEW) (incomplete) Can corporations' relentless focus on maximising shareholder wealth actually harm investors? UNSW's Professor Justin O'Brien talks to UCLA's Professor Lynn Stout about her ideas which challenge traditional views on corporate law and the shareholder. Lynn Stout, the Paul Hastings Distinguished Professor of Corporate and Securities Law at UCLA, has been described as "the closest thing to a rockstar in corporate governance". Professor Stout advocates the end of shareholder primacy where public corporations belong to their shareholders and firms exist for one purpose only - to maximise shareholder wealth.  However, modern corporate practice needn't be this way. Professor Stout argues that shareholder value thinking actually harms investors, over time and as a class. Professor Justin O'Brien is the Director of UNSW's Centre for Law, Markets and Regulation. This is the second seminar in the series "In Who or What do We Trust".

(Q & A SESSION) (incomplete) Q & A Session from the second seminar of UNSW Law's series "In Who or What Do We Trust?" Can corporations' relentless focus on maximising shareholder wealth actually harm investors? UNSW's Centre for Law, Markets and Regulation presents Prof Lynn Stout, the Paul Hastings Distinguished Professor of Corporate and Securities Law at UCLA, in the second seminar of the series "In Who or What Do We Trust?" Lynn Stout has been described as "the closest thing to a rockstar in corporate governance". Professor Stout advocates the end of shareholder primacy where public corporations belong to their shareholders and firms exist for one purpose only - to maximise shareholder wealth.  However, modern corporate practice needn't be this way. Professor Stout argues that shareholder value thinking actually harms investors, over time and as a class. The CLMR in association with Allens Arthur Robinsion and the Centre for International Finance and Regulation is delighted to welcome Professor Stout to lead the second seminar in the series ‘In Who or What Do We Trust.’ The lecture is followed by a panel discussion moderated by Professor Justin O’Brien, Director of the CLMR.
