The trend suggests that some of the reasons for the initial establishment of government enterprises are no longer valid.

Hamilton, Catherine Jane [pseud. Retlaw Spring] (1841–1935), author and journalist
No full textHamilton, Catherine Jane [pseud. Retlaw Spring] (1841-1935), author and journalist, was born on 25 January 1841 at Kilmersdon, Somerset, where she was baptized on 12 April 1841, the younger of two daughters of Richard Hamilton (1805?-1859), vicar of Kilmersdon, and his wife Charlotte, née Cooper (1809-1882), the fifth daughter of William Cooper, of Queens County, Ireland. She was of Irish heritage on both sides. Her father belonged to a military family with roots in Strabane (county Tyrone) - his father, John Hamilton, and her father’s four older brothers were all officers in the Fifth Foot – and was a graduate of Trinity College Dublin. He had been a bright scholar with an aptitude for languages, and as a preacher was praised for his powerful sermons and his ability to bring the Bible to life for his parishioners

A survey in 2002 revealed a widespread uneasiness among Australians about how they live their lives and what life should be about. In this paper Clive Hamilton examines the tendency to endure long hours in unsatisfying jobs - the \u27deferred happiness syndrome\u27 - in expectation of future benefits
Who listens to Alan Jones?
No full textThere is a widespread belief that Alan Jones can decide elections. Drawing on demographic and attitudinal data from an extensive survey by Roy Morgan Research, Clive Hamilton shows that perceptions of Jones’ influence and political sway are out of proportion with the size and nature of his audience. His audience is about the same as a low-rating television program and highly concentrated among older listeners with well-established political allegiances
Making fines fairer
No full textFew would argue against the principle that the penalty for an offence should affect all offenders equally. No one would argue that rich people should receive shorter jail sentences or have fewer demerit points deducted than poor people. Yet, argues Clive Hamilton, the system of flat rate fines for traffic and other offences in Australia is grossly unfair in just this way. A flat fine applied to all imposes much more pain on low-income people than it does on high income earners
