What’s up Scope-aholics? Welcome to Week 6 - the beginning of mid-semester exams. If you’re fortunate enough to have dodged the exam bul-let, #$%^ you from the rest of us. Kidding, but seriously. Enjoy your uninterrupted sleep and de-stressful couple of weeks while you still can.

Next week you’ll be hearing from the awesome Andra, who’s been a busy bee for the last few weeks. Welcome him back with open arms, his birthday is coming up soon, July 23, put it in your diary.

If you’re a law student, remember to get amongst the voting this week. My motto: don’t complain about who gets on, if you didn’t vote in the first place. Seriousness aside, if you’re not coming to Law Ball you’re missing out. Hot chicks and bangin’ guys, a three-course meal and cold bev-erages - what more could you want?

To Scope this week: yes, we are aware there are a lot of posters. Sozzlecopter (it means more be-cause it has more syllables than sorry). This can’t be helped, so cherish the articles that do appear.

Caleb Connor’s ‘We’ll Moo It Live’ is, like always, an entertaining read. Scope’s most loved, and most photographed, writer brings to you a hilari-ous insight into the Australian Export Indusrty.

For an informed vote for your 2011/2012 LSA - check out pages 6-9 for all the information you need.

Finally, Milly Arsic’s interview with Shintaro Koida is well worth the read on page 16; and for infor-mation on how to purchase the new Bond Coun-try Road Bag, head to page 19.

Until next time avid readers.

Weekly BUSA Report

Another semester, another influx of funding applications, anoth-er round of funding meetings, another presentation to the Actvi-ties Fee Committee, another master budget – and all of it was just as exciting/stressful/controversial/difficult/challenging/intense/rewarding/satisfying as ever!

The balancing act between fairness in funding to clubs, societies and FSAs, the provision of the widest possible array of services, and making every dollar stretch as far as possible – all whilst con-tinuing to be fiscally responsible to ensure the financial security and future of BUSA is not a one man job. This is not because it is too much work, but rather because members of the BUSA man-agement committee have been elected to act as representatives of the student body and entrusted to do their best in ensuring student life at Bond is the best it can be.

When it comes to funding this translates to striking the balance between the four aforementioned interests. To do this, the most important thing to possess is knowledge. As such, there are many different inputs which contribute to the final SAM master budget each semester.

Let us work from the grass roots up:

The clubs – individual club meetings are held with every club to discuss their activies of the past semester, their successes and their short comings, their plans for the coming semester and the costs associated with these plans.

The club directors – Meetings are held with the two representa-tives from BUSA responsible for the management, support and supply of information to the clubs. Each club is discussed in depth with the corresponding club director whether that be Olivia (OJ) Lessler for cultural clubs, or Kaitlyn Lewis for sporting clubs.

The BUSA Executive – if any areas of concern are highlighted in club funding meetings or club director meetings these are then taken to either the relevant executive member – Alan White (VP Rec) for Cultural Clubs, or Sam Hourigan (VP Sport) for Sporting Clubs, or to the entire BUSA executive for discussion.

The BUSA Management Committee – A draft budget is forward-ed to the BUSA Management Committee, the representatives of the full student body, for analysis and feedback.

The Activity Fee Committee – The final draft of the budget is presented to the AFC for approval. This committee consists of Mr. Alan Finch (PVC), Campus Life, BUELI, Bond University Sports Cen-tre, Mr. Mark Stringer (Staff representative), BUSA President and BUSA Treasurer.

Presentation to the Activity Fee Committee is the final step in the budget process, once approved by the committee the budget is released to student body and clubs, societies and FSAs may ac-cess their allocated funds.

The Funding Review Seminar – This semester BUSA held for the first time s Funding Review Seminar. The purpose of this seminar was threefold. Firstly, the explain the budget process to the stu-dents as outlined above. Secondly, to run through the current se-mesters budget and explain the logic behind any particular areas of interest. Finally, and arguably most importantly, it was to give students the opportunity to ask questions, query allocations, ask for explanations and allow them to better understand where their SAM dollars are going.

The Seminar was a great success with a turn out of approximately 40 students and in line with elections promises will be maintained for the remainder of the current committee’s term and strongly recommended to be carried forward by the next committee.

If you didn’t get a chance to come along, I strongly encourage you to attend next semester – I would also recommend you sneak a glance at this semesters budget which is available at www.bond-students.com

But in the mean time… did you know?

Cultural Clubs Received $39,108.35 of funding. Up $1,444.00 from last semester. With an average of $1,396.73 per club.

Sporting Clubs Received $25,248.53 of funding. Down $5,074.06 form last semester. With an average of $1,262.43 per club.

Due to a low uptake of SAM only $2,000 was placed in the Capital Expenditure Account (down from $30,000 last se-mester) to ensure clubs and societies services did not suffer for the semester.

Faculty Student Associations received funding of $17,532.40

Highest Club Funding – Rugby Club - $4,760.00Lowest Club Funding –- AFL Club - $200.00 (Highest Last Semester)

27 clubs reduce their name to acronyms – only 10 of the acronyms are words

Scope Costs BUSA $4,550 every semester

Wednesday by the Water costs BUSA $8,900 every semester

The total budget was 61.53% of the requested amount.

10 groups will produce independent publications this se-mester.

After sacrificing a large amount of funding last semester the CLSA has been allocated enough funds to throw an EPIC Canada Day party – so get down there and celebrate!

Treasurer’s ReportPatrick McNamee

Good old Bessy. You’ve always been there. While you might just stand around grazing and enduring the odd cow-tip like the cow-boss you are, you’re forever an iconic stalwart of the Australian export industry. So noble. So proud.

So what about this live export controversy? The live export of Australian livestock is worth hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars annually and consti-tutes a major proportion of trade we maintain with important partners all around the world. The prob-lem? As the television program Four Corners recently reminded us, every year we have been exporting hun-dreds of thousands of Australian animals to countries

with little or no regulations safeguarding their welfare in between being loaded off the boat and ending up on plates in places like the Middle East and Southeast Asia. The program showed real footage of Australian cattle being subjected to all manner of brutal prac-tices in Indonesian abattoirs, where the process of slaughter is cruel, drawn out and reflective of an in-dustry that is incapable of properly handling our live exports to standards anywhere near those we main-tain at home.

But the live export trade to Indonesia is worth more than $300 million per year. And while Agriculture Minister Joe Ludwig has placed a moratorium on

We’ll moo It LiveCaleb Connor

particular aspects of the beef trade and is looking into a range of regulatory responses, or alternatives to phasing out the live export trade altogether, it’s clear the Australian public has a range of opinions on the issue. I hit the streets earlier this week and chatted with two individuals, each with a unique take on the issue.

So here we have Leonard the well-spoken Lefty, and Dez, from Nerang. First up gentlemen, can you tell us a bit about yourselves?

Leonard the well-spoken Lefty: Well Caleb, I’m a university student with a passion for human rights, social justice and animal welfare. And I’m studying Business/Commerce (lol jokes).

Dez, from Nerang: Mate I’m a 20-something tradie with three loves: me ute, me beer and the Gold Coast Suns. Me girlfriend helps me make ‘em both happen on a Sundie afternoon.

Now have you heard much about this controversy surrounding live exports? Do you have an opinion on the issue?

LtL: I certainly have. I think it’s appalling the Austral-ian government has maintained the live export trade knowing full well the horror our cattle undergo in foreign countries. This Four Corners-type expose happened first in 2003 when footage came through of horrific practices in Kuwait; and we banned live exports to Egypt in 2005 when the public saw legs slashed, eyes poked and our sensibilities offended by these so-called “valuable trade partners”.

DfN: I tell ya’ what mate, there’s nothing much more I love than fat bit of steak before a big night out in Surfers, and I reckon me Hindu brothers over in Indo could say the same thing. What’s the big deal? We all love the stuff. I don’t get all this “our cattle, our animals” business. We’re talking ‘bout a coupla cows, not the bloody rugby team on tour!

But is all the blame to fall on the Australian govern-ment for this kind of scandal? Who do we hold ac-countable?

LtL: Absolutely! Reforms in the industry that have

supposedly been undertaken haven’t gone any-where near far enough. The Indonesian abattoirs featured in the Four Corners expose have had equipment installed and had their workers trained by Australian companies since 2000, so obviously the industry isn’t working to secure the welfare of these animals. And this reaction has been so typical of both the government and the main industry part-ners, reacting only when the public catches wind of the whole mess.

DfN: That Current Affairs chick said something about most of these cows gettin’ shipped from ports in the Northern Territory. If you were gonna blame anyone, its gotta be those hardnuts in Darwin. Heartless bas-tards.

Any closing remarks gentlemen?

LtL: Our government justifies the continuation of this brutal trade by claiming a ban on live trade is a reduction of international commerce with a valued neighbour. I believe that slave-traders plying African coasts used a similar ex-cuse nearly 200 years ago. The time has come for the Australian government to own up and stand up for the values of the people, being a concern for the welfare of our animals re-gardless of whether they are processed in Sydney or Sumatra. Talk about your “range of regulatory re-sponses” all you will Joe Ludwig, what you’re doing by not banning the trade is subjugating the will of the public to primeval practices and a pathetic ex-cuse for international trade.

DfN: I tell ya’ what mate….(slurs)…UP THE SUNS!

Dez went on to describe how the Australian gov-ernment should increase our live exports to places like Indonesia, whilst at the same time imposing a tax on trade partners. Only this way, he said, can the industry afford to ship our live cattle to Indonesia in amphibious, truck-size Holden utes. Yeah, how cool would that be…

“The live export of Australian livestock is worth hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars annually”

“It’s clear the Australian pub-lic has a range of opinions on

the issue”

On Saturday the 18th of June, the inaugural BIG Investment Banking Competition was held in the Princeton Room. The dividing wall was pulled down to split the room into two – on one side contestants prepared for their presenta-tions, on the other side, there was a judging area in which the judging panel scrutinised each team’s presentation. Full catering was provided for all contestants on the day. It is with great pleasure that I can announce, with reference to both accounts from contestants and staff, that the Competition was a great success! Some readers, however, might be wondering what exactly is the BIG Investment Banking Competition and how did it work? After attending a Bridging Course run by committee members of the Bond Investment Group (which ran through the basics of comparable analysis), teams of two or three students were given a 28 page problem document that contained information on Woolworths (a large listed Australian company) as well as The Reject Shop and JB Hi-Fi (two smaller listed Australian companies). Teams were given just two hours to analyse both of these smaller com-panies and then form a conclusion as to which company presented the most attractive acquisition target for Wool-worths. Each group had to create a short PowerPoint presentation highlighting both the strategic and fundamental reasons behind their proposed acquisition.

Each team was given only 10 minutes to pitch their ar-guments to a panel of distinguished judges. The panel was comprised of Phillippa Wright (an award winning Teaching Fellow), Tim Kiessling (Associate Professor of International Business and Head of Department) and Paul Robertson (an Executive MBA student that has worked on a number of deals). The dynamic of the judging panel, which featured experts from a number of different disciplines, worked very well as it meant that students were forced to justify both the financial reasons as well as strategic reasons for pursuing a par-ticular acquisition. The judging panel then questioned each team after they had completed their presentation, asking why some teams chose to utilise particular financial meas-ures or questioning any anomalies that they identified in their presentation. Every team was able to success-fully justify their arguments and respond to the judges’ questions (which at times were quite challenging). Feedback from students that participated in the Com-petition was extremely positive. Each student that was interviewed revealed that participating in the competition was a challenge, but a very rewarding ex-perience. The quality of presentations from students

surpassed everyone’s expectations. Some contestants were only in their second semesters, yet they demon-strated great maturity and were able to get their heads around some advanced financial concepts. There were a total of four prize categories for the Com-petition – Winner of Best Presentation (kindly spon-sored by the Business Students Association) and Run-ner Up for Best Presentation and Winner of Best Pitch (kindly sponsored by Student in Free Enterprise) and Runner Up for Best Pitch. The winning contestants in each category took home a combined total of $900 in cash prizes and a subscription to the Economist. Run-ners up took home a ticket to BIG’s upcoming Titans of Industry Forum to be held early next semester. Overall, the competition was a huge success – stu-dents and staff alike enjoyed participating in the com-petition and it is definitely a competition that BIG will seek to replicate and expand upon in the near future.

Shintaro Koido, Teaching Fellow from the Faculty of Hu-manities and Social Sciences, is an exceptionally academic student who has been at Bond since the dawn of time. He completed his undergraduate in International Relations, majoring in International Relations, Diplomacy and East Asian Studies. He went on to complete his Masters of Art (Coursework), as well as a Graduate Certificate of TESOL and Postgraduate Diploma of Education. He is currently enrolled in his Doctor of Philosophy. I spoke to Shintaro to gain an insight into PhD study.

When did you start your PhD and what is your focus?

I started my PhD last year during the May semester. My pri-mary supervisor is Jonathon Ping and my secondary super-visor is Rosita Delios, both International Relations lecturers. My topic is: “Liberal Institutionalism – Using institutions to move towards climate action”. I’m focusing on the fact that climate change has an effect on all states. It is a supranation-al issue and I hope my research shows that primarily liberal institutions are more effective than the nation-state in this field.

What made you decide you wanted to complete a PhD?

When I was doing my undergrad, I did a special topic in In-ternational Relations (IR) and that made me interested in further research. Through reading and the news, I saw the importance that climate change and other non-traditional security issues play in our world. I saw how much our gov-ernments had failed and I wanted to create a paper that pro-moted something different.

When are you looking at finishing?

Hopefully I will finish by 2013 but with research, nothing is ever certain.

What is the word limit of the paper?

Between 80-000 – 100,000 of original contribution to my area. I am currently at 21,000 words.

In what ways do you feel liberal institutions can be more effective than nation-states?

I feel that nation-states, especially liberal democracies, fo-cus on short term political advantage rather than long term gain. The institution, given more effective power as well as a competent bureaucracy, will be able to formulate policies so they can be given to the nation-state for implementation. Do you propose any models in your paper?

I feel the European Union is the most effective, although there are some teething issues at the moment. I also sug-gest some ground-breaking cross linking such as the EU and

the Mediterranean linking with North Africa. There are also technology transfers but it is still early days in terms of in-stitutions taking a leading role. However, signs are looking good so far.

It sounds like nation-states have capabilities in develop-ment, but do they hold the political will to be involved?

My general research shows that the nation-state, even with good intentions, generally fails to implement successful strategies. I’m looking at institutions as an alternative to the nation-state as the primary policy maker. I’m also looking at the Marxist and Post-modernist approaches to see whether they can be as effective as institutions.

Do you feel there are any controversies with institutions readily adapting climate change strategies?

There are problems; for example, institutions in the devel-oping world will be more interested in development and raising the standard of living. At that point, environmental concerns are thrown aside in the interests of development. However, the literature shows you can have sustainable de-velopment at the same time as economic development. I hope that if there is a more apolitical cross-border institu-tion in place then hopefully more effective climate change strategies can be implemented.

What have been the greatest challenges in conducting your research?

For me, it has been addressing the best possible question; and finding gaps in the research. Every day, a new paper will be published so it is finding the niche in International Rela-tions to go forward in that.

How to get called ‘Doctor’ before your name - Interview with PhD student Shintaro Koido

Milly Arsic

So have you been playing catch-up with the news and government policies?

Some ideas had to go. At some stage, I was thinking North America was moving towards a solution and the conservative government in Canada was doing some things with the environment. There was poten-tial interlinking but the results of the mid-term elec-tion changed everything and I had to re-look at the literature to see whether independent nation-states should perhaps look towards technological results rather than institutions. At the end of the day, political actions change the way my research goes.

What would be your ideal state of the world by 2050?

I’m not arguing for the destruction of the nation-state, but more so sharing of policy, equitable transfer of technology and money. There’s more cooperation between states, institutions have more power, the na-tion-states provide soft-power balancing and through that, more effective climate change mitigation and adaption policies will allow for sustainable growth in the future.

What is your progress so far?

I just recently had my confirmation of candidature presentation which went well. Development of re-search is ever-evolving and there are lots of points I have to expand into the actual text.

Have you done any field work?

I’ve seen some guest lecturers such as a WTO visiting fellow from the University of Adelaide. I have also met former Senator Robert Hill, who was Minister for the Environment under the Howard government. He was instrumental in negotiating the Kyoto Protocol and the Biodiversity Act here in Australia. Those were great people to meet and assisted me in finding out where the holes were in government and international policy.

Thoughts on current failures in the domestic and in-ternational systems?

There are disagreements between institutions and various states and it is also most difficult in the do-mestic sphere. It is still early days in Australia if there is going to be a first-time climate change policy so

hopefully the government will implement an effective policy for the long term. Whether the nation-state is most effective is questionable, so hopefully there will be more cooperation. The UN has probably been seen as a failure, especially in Copenhagen. I hope my re-search is instrumental in providing changes or a differ-ent way forward.

What are some other advantages of getting a PhD at Bond?

As a PhD student, I am able to tutor various subjects which allows me to facilitate student learning. It’s great because students go to university because they want to get somewhere. Knowing what these students want and trying to help them on their path is very re-warding.

Where do you see yourself in ten years’ time?

Hopefully I would have gotten my PhD by then and possibly be teaching at some university. I would like to write a bit more and do some policy advising for gov-ernment.

Favourite academic resource?

I use books as I find it very relaxing to read. One of my favourite books is ‘The Wealth of Nations’ by Adam Smith.

Tips for prospective PhD students?

Find what interests you. See what gaps there may be in the future. Make sure you do the necessary study to get into the program to reach your goals and yes, bring that ambition to life. Also, it’s important to have a break and meet students from different faculties be-cause you may find something in the future you would like to pursue.

RES WARS WEEKLY REPORT: NETBALL

I always look forward to Resident Wars – Mixed Netball. The reason is a very simple one; the game involves some over confident males riding a high of testosterone, and an equal number of quietly confident calm and relaxed females, ready to give it their best shot.

This then results in a high number of both injured and de-flated males, and an equal number of quietly assured and relaxed females; having known they gave the males of Bond University an absolute flogging.

Now looking at the results table for mixed netball – I feel as though I am repeating myself, having written a very similar story last week! But it must be said – that although the re-sults remained very similar – the games themselves were far closer than last week, were hard fought, and involved blood, sweat and tears (often from the male residents).

Green Machine once again came out as the superior artists on the mixed netball campus – pipping A Block Pride by 1 goal in the dying minutes of the game. A strong defensive per-formance by game MVP Andrew Dibden against A Block’s star player Brock Pyhland ensured that Green Machine were often impenetrable in defence, and allowed for a steady stream of offensive pressure from the outset.

Not to be outdone – the females, who in reality, were the only ones who had a fair idea of not only the rules but what sport they were actually playing , had some strong moments dur-ing times of crucial play. Although B Block finished in third

place on the night, female MVP Jenaya Keats was the ultimate all – round netball legend, whole heartedly taking on the boys in head to head battles, while often politely teaching them a rule or two in regard to the game of netball. Further to this B Block once again should be commended on their high levels of participation – once again coming out on top in the head count.

Bumped and bruised, the AC Red Devils most definitely did not go home with their tales between their legs this week – with each game contested being fiercely competitive, often taking the lead at various intervals from all teams in the com-petition. Although a win did not arise this week – the future is looking up for this beleaguered resident team of Res Wars.

So that’s it for another week of Resident Wars.

Next week – Find your inner Lionel Messi – it’s time for Indoor Soccer.

The second derby game between Bond Universi-ty and Bond Pirates produced all the excitement, passion, punch ups, comical errors and moments of brilliance. From the kick off, this was always go-ing to be Bond Uni’s game and some early peri-ods of play had the Pirates on the back foot; Zac Taylor and Alex Morasutt were both unlucky to score in the opening five minutes in either cor-ner. It was then that the Pirates, to their credit, strung together some good phases through their large forward pack and put the first points on the board. Not to be outdone, some strong running from the backs; led all day by Jonny Nyst; allowed Lachlan ‘Spud’ Turnell to pull out a move from the training field and put in a cross field kick to the corner, which saw Chad Kanovsky gather and drive over the corner and put the first points on the board for Bond.

From that point on, the momentum stayed with University and, shortly after, Alex Morasutt gath-ered from the back of the ruck and, with all the grace of a second rower, glided down the field for a 40 metre try. The next try was a combination of pure idiocy from the Pirates and pure determina-tion and genius from Peter Grover against his old club. In what kicker Zac Taylor will say was a de-liberate miss from the penalty spot, after the ball swung across the front of the posts, the Pirates al-lowed the ball to bounce in-goal, in the hope that it would carry over the dead ball line. Peter Grov-er, already chasing the kick, sprinted through and caught three Pirates players unaware to score his first try of the season. A final try for the first half came from Geoff Horricks, who played an abso-lute blinder all game.

Bond took to the break in a comfortable lead and allowed Uni to make some tactical changes.

Pirates attempted to counter Bond’s dominance with the introduction of 1st grade ‘superstar’ Joel Djokovic, but to no avail. Greg Russell made some massive runs from centre and caused havoc for the Pirate’s backline and was unlucky to score on a few occasions. The final try of the game came to Ben Hickey, who scored his first try for the club after some excellent backline play.

It was then that tensions boiled over and saw a good old fashioned all-in brawl that saw both sides trade blows for a few minutes. To his credit, the referee didn’t send anyone off and let play resume.

The final score ended up 29-5, but could have easily been more. The tally for both derby games gave Bond a convincing 71-5 annihilation of the Pirates and bragging rights for this season.

All players contributed well and special mention goes out to Dougal Graham and Matthew Werthe-imer on their first game for the club. Oliver Frost played a true half back’s game and got under the skin of the Pirates players and gave them grief all game. Finally, to Louis Sheppard, who played one of the best games ever for the club. It was great to see him back and he was unlucky not to score; you could see the fear in the opposition wingers’ eyes when he saw Louis running at him.

One minute with... ROWAN KENDALLWhat’s your greatest fear?Fear of heights - I am absolutely petrified of being off the ground. Not bad with massive heights (ie. Q1) because everything looks so small, but medium sized heights (like South Tower balconies) are not my forte.

Favourite sport and why?My favourite sport(s) are tennis and Formula 1. Tennis because I grew up playing it and know a lot about it. Formula 1 because I have always had a passion for cars and there’s something about the speed, the sound and the sensation that is car racing!

What’s the most important thing you have learned from your Bond Law Degree?That you could cut diamond from Joe Crowley’s jawline.

Who is the most interesting Law Professor and why?I would have to say Professor Carney. I think that anyone who has spent five minutes in his office would realise how much knowledge he has stored away in there! I think that he’s a really nice guy as well as being a very committed and engaging professor.

Most memorable moment as LSA President?Would have to be the LSA retreat where everyone dressed up ridicu-lously and run screaming around Bond - I found this really amusing! After that we just sat around and chilled and it was then that I real-ised just what a spectacular team I was working with. I couldn’t say I have loved every minute of the last year, but it’s definitely been an entertaining experience!

Least favourite LSA member and why? Shane - wait until you see how much money we have spent keeping him looking young so that Law students feel they can come into the office during his office hours.

Greatest achievement during your time at Bond?I think that the new couches in the Bungalows were a pretty big score. They look clean and they’re com-fortable to sleep on (I know many people can support this). I think that this has really improved the atmos-phere of the Bungalows and is a good reason to keep them for 113.

What’s next for Rowan Kendall?Next semester is overseas to Lei-den and then back here for bigger and better things (read: finishing my degrees). I honestly can’t wait to get out into the workforce and start using some of the skills I’ve got from Bond. But until then... I promise to drink lots of Dutch beer for all of you left at home...

Robert Stable (read: Alan White) is nicking off for a killer holiday. He leaves you in charge, with no restrictions. What would you do if you could run Bond for a day?Fund Law Ball (and everyone’s hotel rooms at the Sheraton). And probably hold a FIFA tournament projected onto the Arch. Caleb and Andra would definitely be there.

What’s the best piece of advice you have for the new LSA Presi-dent?Remember to give the past LSA free tickets to all events (this helps my student bank account). And try and get Katherine Mansted, Kris-ten Roehrig, Zain Kazi, James Guinane, Matt Hartsuyker, Fiona Self, Melanie McGuire, Shane Cooper, Jackie Cahill and Anthony Sissian on board. They make life a lot easier!!
