“…In the late 1970s the Fraser government was interested in improving the level of telephone and broadcasting services available to those living in rural and remote areas of Australia (Staley 1996). Kerry Packer was well aware of this interest and couched his arguments for a national communications satellite in terms of the benefits it would bring to regional Australia: 2 I went and saw the prime minister and I explained to him my understanding of what was happening in those areas, and to his undying credit he grasped on to it immediately and said, 'of course it's what we want.…”

“…Telecom believed that this option was not yet technically feasible, and it was only after a visit to Canada, when the minister became convinced that it was possible to obtain reasonable TV signals from medium-to lowpowered satellites via small, low cost earth stations, that he decided to seek cabinet approval for an Australian domestic satellite (Staley 1985: 9-10). Staley also saw the satellite as a means of distributing pay-TV across Australia (with pay-TV signals retransmitted terrestrially); but pay-TV was a secondary rather than a primary consideration in the government's decision to establish a domestic satellite (Staley 1996).…”

“…Although the government did not emphasise the point in public, the desire to introduce competition into telecommunications services was another important factor in the Fraser government's decision to establish a national communications satellite (Staley 1996). The introduction of computer technology into telephone exchanges in the late 1970s had led to a number of strikes by Telecom's key technical union -the Australian Telecommunications Employees Association (ATEA), which was concerned that the new technology and associated maintenance arrangements would lead to a loss of technical skills and, ultimately, jobs (Reinecke and Schultz 1983:87).…”

“…When the Fraser government decided to establish a national communications satellite, the responsible minister (Staley) envisaged that the satellite would be used to distribute pay-TV across Australia (Staley 1996). However, the Labor Minister for Communications was less enthusiastic about the idea of introducing pay-TV.…”

“…As discussed in the previous section, a national communications satellite was established primarily because the Fraser government wanted to expand services to rural areas and introduce competition to Telecom (Staley 1996). The introduction of AUSSAT had a profound effect on the broadcasting industry and, ultimately, the structure of Australia's pay-TV industry.…”

This article explores the major influences on pay‐TV policy‐making in Australia from the late 1970s, when the issue was first discussed in the context of proposals to establish a domestic communications satellite, up until the introduction of pay‐TV in Australia in 1995, thereby placing current developments in the pay‐TV industry in context. The article argues that among larger broadcasting and telecommunications issues, pay‐TV has never been ‘the main game’. For both Coalition and Labor governments, the expansion of existing free‐to‐air television services in regional Australia and the introduction of competition in telecommunications have been much more important policy priorities than the introduction of pay‐TV. Furthermore, because pay‐TV policy‐making largely took place in this wider policy context, the structure of the broadcasting and telecommunications industries also shaped pay‐TV policy outcomes.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that local public health agencies use local data to identify children at risk for lead exposure to ensure that they receive preventive services. The objective of this study was to demonstrate the usefulness of a geographic information system (GIS) in identifying children at risk for lead exposure. We conducted a descriptive study, using GIS technology, of the blood lead (BPb) levels and residential location of at-risk children screened for lead exposure. "At-risk children" were defined as those children living in housing built before 1950 or in an area with a high proportion of older housing. The study was conducted in Jefferson County, Kentucky, USA. Participants were the cohort of children born in 1995 and screened from 1996 through 1997, and children younger than age 7 years who were screened from 1994 through 1998. Outcome measures were the BPb level and residential location (address or target zone) of at-risk children screened from 1996 through 1997, and the number and location of homes where more than one child had been poisoned by lead from 1994 through 1998. The proportion of children screened who live within zones targeted for universal screening varied from 48% to 53%, while only 50% of the at-risk children in the entire county were screened. Between 1994 and 1998, 79 homes housed 35% of the 524 children with lead poisoning. These housing units were prioritized for lead-hazard remediation. Significant numbers of at-risk children throughout the county were not being tested for lead exposure, even in prioritized areas. GIS can be very useful to health departments in planning lead exposure screening strategies and measuring program performance.

Clinical investigations of herds with a high prevalence of laminitis are complex. Laminitis has a multifactorial etiology. Visible signs of laminitis sometimes appear weeks or months after the inciting events. Once developed, some of the clinical signs of laminitis can remain with the cow throughout her lifetime.14 Ruminal acidosis is considered to be one of the primary causes of laminitis. The use of rumenocentesis as a diagnostic test by veterinarians has served to increase awareness of ruminal acidosis and has given them an ability to rule rumen acidosis "in-or-out" as a risk factor in a laminitis investigation. For this program, I was asked to present the clinical picture of laminitis and ruminal acidosis based upon the many investigations by the Food Animal Production Medicine group at the University of Wisconsin. Because of the nature of the request, this paper will be a clinician's report including findings, observations, and opinions.
