'If we are to understand global capital, neoliberalism and the state in meaningful ways, we must understand them as they operate in, and on, particular places and people.' Amanda WalshGlobalisation is an inescapable term in the 21st century, but its real meaning is often difficult to pin down. This book sheds new light on the political and economic implications of globalisation by examining the lived experience of a particular region: the Shoalhaven area of New South Wales, where two iconic Australian industries - dairying and manufacturing - struggled to survive in the face of global competition. Drilling down through layers of theory, policy and politics, Amanda Walsh surveys how globalisation has played out in regional Australia. Using industry case studies, she explores how decisions made at a national level have affected regional communities, and considers the role of the state in promoting and mediating globalising forces.

Comedy about the new boy in town whose self-aggrandizing lies come home to roost. Sam Leonard (Ryan Pinkston) is the new kid at Bridgeport High and - sporting a Neil Diamond c.1971 haircut and having just been dropped off from an Isuzu sedan - his work is cut out for him in the making pals dept. Sam's counsellor advises him that twisting the truth might be the way to make friends so he becomes a full-on pants-on-fire case. By lunchtime, as far as everyone is concerned, his Porsche is in the shop, his dad is a pretty big rockstar and a few hot babes including one blonde young teacher are even taking a shine to him. His worries about being found out are soon allayed by dint of the fact that his lies, after a magical mirror breaking incident, start to come true. His dad is a washed-up hippie muso who signs him a beer now and then, there's a red Porsche in the garage belonging to him and he's the top shooter on the school basketball team. Only one girl sees through it all - the one girl who liked him without the lies anyway...
