  1. An Overview of Standards Australia Bronwyn Evans CEO Standards Australia

  2. By contrast, Mr Modi offers the “politics of development not of revenge”. He told his crowd, for example, that lack of sewerage is unacceptable and how, as Gujarat’s chief minister, he oversaw installation of 76,000 lavatories in schools so that more girls could study. His toilet talk may yet appeal more than the Gandhis’ paternalism.

  3. The International Water Management Institute estimates 2 billion people will live in regions with insufficient water to meet human needs. Global water demand is forecast to Increase by 55% between today and 2050

  4. Total water consumption in Australia is forecasted to rise by 42% by 2026 and 76% by the 2056 (WSAA). The increased demand for water is likely to be associated with price rises.
