From the world's first feature film in 1906 to the world's first
feature documentaries shot between 1895 and 1901, Australia has
always done great things in film. Not only did Australia give birth
to film but also to some of the biggest stars of the twentieth
century. In the 1980s and 1990s we saw the first low budget films
that billed; Mel Gibson, Russell Crowe, Nicole Kidman, Guy Pearce,
Cate Blanchett, Hugh Jackman, Eric Bana and Geoffrey Rush. We
pushed the barriers of sexuality in film with naked Elle MacPherson
in Sirens and Nicole Kidman in Moulin Rouge. Documenting the
history of Australia and in some cases the world, with startling
films known for their realism and simple artistry; war time legends
take place in Changi and Kokoda Front Line to name a few. Location
films such as They're a Weird Mob and A Town Like Alice showed
Australian landscapes to the rest of the world. And in recent times
contemporary films such as Pitch Black, Lantana, Chopper and Two
Hands have made it internationally. 1970s horror and sci fi did its
worst in films like Picnic at Hanging Rock. We explore the horror
of Nicole Kidman's first film and the insanity of Russell Crowe's
Romper Stomper. The first of its kind as was The Adventures of
Priscilla Queen of the Desert. With directors such as Baz Luhrman
and actors such as Geoffrey Rush, Australian cinema has become a
whole lot more artistic and risque. Although often undervalued in a
multi-billion dollar international film industry, Australia has led
the way in artistry, location films, documentaries, nakedness,
coarse language, crime, anti-establishment, sexuality and realism.
This book is a practitioner's guide to sustainable development,
laying out strategies for attracting investment for communities and
their partners. It proposes an innovative Sustainable Development
Proposition (SDP) decision-making tool based on a propositional
calculus that can be used to analyse the sustainability of an
infrastructure investment. It draws on environmental sustainability
governance data analysis enabling investors to understand the
economic indicators, income potential, return on investment, demand
and legal compliance, as well as community and social benefits.
Identified risks, issues and advantages are managed and monitored,
and the SDP guidance can be applied to improve the prospects of the
project in order to attract investment. Sustainable Community
Investment Indicators (SCIIs (TM)) have been developed to assist
with attracting investment and monitoring feedback on
infrastructure projects, designed by the author for remote rural
and indigenous communities - in response to current industry tools
that are designed for urban environments. The book includes a broad
range of real-world and hypothetical case studies in agricultural
and indigenous areas in South America, Europe, Africa, Asia,
Australia and the Pacific. Taking a diverse economies approach,
these industry tools can be adapted to allow for enterprise design
with unique communities. This book provides sustainable development
practitioners, including government agencies, financiers,
developers, lawyers and engineers, with a positive, practical guide
to addressing and overcoming global issues with local and
community-based solutions and funding options.
