Coastal tourist dollars donít stay local
In 2024, an international report by The Travel Foundation showed that globally, around 50-80 per cent of coastal tourist dollars are 'leaked' from the destination, providing little or no local benefit. In New South Wales, towns with a Coles and Woolworths take the lion's share of tourist dollars, followed by short term rentals owners in Sydney and Canberra with properties on the coast.

News, civics and the Great Forgetting
By Malcolm King - posted Wednesday, 6 January 2021 Sign Up for free e-mail updates! We 'socially construct' the world around us through socialisation, schooling, workmates, friends and family and the media. We experience the world from a specific and unique perspective, and that is our individual 'reality'. This story focuses on how the news media 'injects' a world view in to that reality, creating delusion more akin to schizophrenia than an approximate perception of cause and events.

SA Centre Alliance kills hope for university arts and humanities
By Malcolm King - posted Wednesday, 14 October 2020 Sign Up for free e-mail updates! The American writer, David Foster Wallace, gave a great speech at the 2005 Kenyon College Commencement Address. It wasn't your typical speech about tolerating difference or promoting equality. It had none of the 'right-on', PC qualities one would expect of a renowned and popular novelist, much adored by young people.
Tuberculosis and COVID-19 in Canada
Viewed from the perspective of tuberculosis (TB) programs and underserved communities across Canada, the response to COVID-19 has been both instructive and frustrating. Instructive, because without effective treatments or vaccines, the most successful COVID-19 containment responses have demanded the early and rigorous application of basic public health principles.
Adelaide in ICU as economy and jobs collapse
By Malcolm King - posted Friday, 21 August 2020 Sign Up for free e-mail updates! Years of political, economic and psychological regression in South Australia, has turned this gurning crapocracy into a delusionary child, who blames the other states for its lack of jobs, hope or social cohesion, while drinking deep of their GST revenues. It can kiss those goodbye. The State Government relies upon $7 billion from the Federal Government through GST revenue distribution.
The mealy-mouthed quality in Australian life
By Malcolm King - posted Tuesday, 16 June 2020 Sign Up for free e-mail updates! The Australian novelist David Foster once said, "I'm not a nice guy. I don't even want to be a nice guy. I have to over-correct for the mealy-mouthed quality in contemporary Australian life." Of late - and maybe this is a psycho-social side effect of the Coronavirus – I too have lacked felicity, as the veils of delusion have fallen to show the true state of the Australian character.
Economic depression, delusion and the media
By Malcolm King - posted Monday, 27 April 2020 Sign Up for free e-mail updates! It's a chicken and egg problem. Which came first? The delusionary business commentators, who believe the economy will magically 'spring back' if the virus leaves these fatal shores or the Pollyanna media, who refuse to write and broadcast that Australia is entering the greatest Depression in its history. Delusion and denial are now the weight-bearing support beams of Australian democracy.
Needs must when the devil drives: Coronavirus and the economy
By Malcolm King - posted Wednesday, 15 April 2020 Sign Up for free e-mail updates! Control measures have drastically reduced the number of Covid-19 hospital admittances but without herd immunity or a vaccine, cases will resurge if social mixing is reinstated. The Morrison Government knows that survival is more important than surpluses, yet little thought has gone in to the end game.
The Creation of a Tool to Measure Engagement in Patient-Oriented Research
Abstract In 2017, the Saskatchewan Centre for Patient-Oriented Research (SCPOR) engaged patient and family advisors (PFAs) to review patient-oriented research grant proposals. The PFAs observed that the reviews would be less subjective if they were assessing the projects based on more rigorous criteria.
Greed and fear reign in Oz
By Malcolm King - posted Friday, 27 March 2020 Sign Up for free e-mail updates! Stupidity has a knack of getting its way; as we should see if we were not always so much wrapped up in ourselves. Albert Camus, The Plague We are living in the Age of Greed and Fear and no one is immune. This is a story about the behaviour of the 'quiet majority' who of late, have adopted the malignant and selfish values of corporate Australia.
Global capitalism in turmoil
We are witnessing the unravelling of large sections of global capitalism, starting with supply chains. The trigger is the coronavirus but the genesis can be found in the economic ructions of the last 40 years. The Dow Jones Black Monday crash in October 1987, shed 22 per cent of its value and sent shock waves across the global financial system. Some may remember the recession of 1991. Tens of thousands of men and women lost their jobs. Some older men never worked full time again.
Auditors without professional borders
By Malcolm King - posted Wednesday, 4 December 2019 Sign Up for free e-mail updates! Auditors assure the accuracy of a company's financial records for shareholders, the public and the economy at large. It's a matter of trust. Yet leaked documents handed to Fairfax Nine by a whistleblower this year, triggered a parliamentary inquiry, (The Regulation of Auditing in Australia), which will hear testimony in 2020, about the cosy relationship between large audit firms and their clients.
Holden job spin hits the skids
By Malcolm King - posted Tuesday, 3 December 2019 Sign Up for free e-mail updates! Holden and the South Australian government have been doing burn-outs with the truth, as their dodgy claim that 80 per cent of former Elizabeth plant workers have found secure jobs, blows a head gasket.
Adelaide is dying
In the movies, we want the hero to win. Likewise, we believe that western cities will always thrive. But what happens if over 40 years, the best and the brightest minds leave a city; if laziness, nepotism and incompetence rules? What happens if the business sector is addicted to government handouts and if the media becomes jaded and partial? What if the senior public service operates like a blundering colonial squattocracy addicted to perks? This story is about Adelaide and it is dying.
Identity politics collars fiction
By Malcolm King - posted Monday, 4 November 2019 Sign Up for free e-mail updates! Advocates of identity politics are demanding that white writers stop creating fictional characters who are different from their own race, gender or sexual orientation. They believe white authors have appropriated black, female or gay cultures for too long. This new orthodoxy is blooming in many of our cultural institutions, especially in film, publishing and literary competitions.

Last gleaming of the liberal democratic age?
The great liberal democratic experiment born from the American and French Revolutions is dying. Reason is in retreat as political chaos marches on Britain, Western Europe, America and Australia. Trust in politicians, financial institutions, the media and the church, has crumbled. We lost our vision for Australia and forgot our history – or were never taught it. We no longer fight for the underdog. We’re too busy fighting among ourselves.
When business kicks away the ladder of opportunity
Mark Twain wrote: “When the rich rob the poor, it’s called business. When the poor fight back, it’s called violence.” The trenchant refusal of employers to pass on profits as wages is doing violence to the Australian and SA economies, while rending the social fabric. According to the Centre for Future Work, back in 1975, the ‘labour share’ of GDP had climbed to 58 per cent. Now wages, salaries and other payments to workers, including superannuation, have fallen to 47 per cent of GDP.
The ghosts in the unemployment figures
Let me take you down to the Strawberry Fields estate, as we follow those who deliver the monthly Labour Force Survey (LFS). The estate is an imaginary place but there’s nothing fictive about high unemployment in working and middle class suburbs across Australia, even though the LFS statistics would tell us otherwise. This story examines how tight definitions of unemployment and the statistical manipulation of data, drives down the unemployment rate.
Estimation of the maximum annual number of North Atlantic tropical cyclones using climate models
Using millennia-long climate model simulations, favorable environments for tropical cyclone formation are examined to determine whether the record number of tropical cyclones in the 2005 Atlantic season is close to the maximum possible number for the present climate of that basin.
Portrait of a racist as a young boy
In the beginning, God created Brownhill Creek. It ran past my backyard in Goodwood and its banks were chock full of bamboo, cumquats, apricots and wild fig trees. In 1965, my job as a blond, snotty-nosed street ‘gangster’, was to protect the land from migrant Italian kids. We called it ‘The Land’ to signify possession. I was seven years old. Since the 1950s, thousands of migrants had arrived in Adelaide’s southern suburbs from Latvia, Greece and Italy.
Graduates clear tables and ask: "was my degree worth it?"
No-one would have believed in the early years of the 21st century that young men and women were being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than their own; that as they busied themselves for new careers, university marketing departments regarded them with hungry eyes. They drew their plans to enrol them. The tempest bearing down on universities draws its energy from young people’s dreams of a good job after graduation. But there is a chasm between the dream and the reality.
The soul-crashing sadness of 'bullshit jobs'
My interest in titles started early. My father called me ‘boy’. Black American slaves thought the term ‘boy’ demeaning. My Dad called every male under 16 ‘boy’. Job titles define who we are in an organisation and where we fit in the big picture. They connote status but they can also alert us to ‘bullshit jobs’. Many years ago I landed an underpaid and overworked job as an academic at a university in Melbourne. I was very happy the day my business cards arrived. They said ‘PR Officer’.
Fearful media needs to face the hard truths about SA
This story is about the hidden assumptions Adelaide’s commercial media have used over a generation and the dangerous, shrill and trivial public discourse they have created. News power brokers use these assumptions to manipulate the news through gatekeeping (story selection) and agenda-setting (prioritising stories). To some extent, all media do this, but Adelaide’s commercial media do it for specific ends.
Death of the ‘Fair Go’
With heads bowed let us march slowly behind the coffins of the ‘fair go’ and corporate trust, as ruthless profit and cold commerce wipe the blood from their hands. Extraordinary evidence is emerging from the banking royal commission, confirming what many already know, that some banks and financial institutions have gone to great lengths to rip off their customers.
The fall of the Australian working class
The fortunes of the working class have tanked just as wealthy Australians were poetically imagining the lives of the battlers by reading Jimmy Barnes’ autobiographies. The fall of the working class is caused by the decline in manufacturing, restructuring, offshoring, casualisation and the introduction of labour-eliminating algorithmic technology.
Unethical private recruiters are hurting employer brands - SmartCompany
Employers are creating recruitment departments inside their organisations fearing that the unethical practices of some private recruiters are damaging their brands. I run national online resume writing business and for the last two years, after being deluged by client horror stories of recruiter behaviour, we have been advising clients to go around private recruitment agencies and where possible, apply directly to the company.
How to pick a shonky resume - SmartCompany
It’s 5.00pm on a Friday and you want to go home. You’ve gone through 150 resumes and none of them stand out. Then you read one that hits you between the eyes. It has strong selling points, there are measurable achievements, the candidate is highly motivated and has even done some research on the company. There are even references with full contact details. At last! Before you call them in for an interview, do some basic detective work.
Middle class flight: Why some SA private schools are losing students - InDaily
As the gully winds of economic change blow through the eastern and inner southern suburbs of Adelaide, middle and upper middle class families are leaving for Sydney and Melbourne. We can see some evidence of middle class flight in falling enrolment numbers in some of Adelaide’s most established private schools. According to the MySchool website, Loreto College had 708 students in 2015, down from 928 students in 2009. Mary MacKillop has fewer than 400 students, down from 507 in 2009.
The dehumanising strategy of sameness - InDaily
As I boarded the flight from Adelaide to New York, a large poster of a smiling Cathay Pacific flight attendant in her bright red uniform, beamed at me. I’d already seen her picture in the carpark and at the check-in counter. At John F.
The future of work is female - InDaily
You don’t need to be a weatherman to know that the winds of change are swinging around to the economic and political empowerment of women. There is still a long way to go, as we have only 18 sitting female politicians in our state parliament out of a total of 69 members. Women still earn 16.2 per cent less than men (ABS, May 2016) and none of Australia’s 20 largest companies has a female chief executive.
