“A global epidemic”, “an economic disaster”, “medical solutions”, “social solutions”, “eat your greens like your mother told you”, “keep moving”, “act early, act purposefully”…..   How many of these apply to diabetes?   Professor Martin Silink AO, Emeritus President of the International Diabetes Federation, will bring us up to date.
 
 
 
 
How good are Australia’s buildings?   What makes them so: character, education, culture, regulation, economics….?   John Palmer, as the founder, chairman and CEO of the Building Durability group of companies, with nearly 50 years’ experience in major projects in Australia and overseas knows more answers than most.
 
 
 
 
A few moments research discovers:  “By far the largest engineering project ever undertaken in Australia”, “Australia’s greatest economic achievement in the decades following World War II”, “one of the most complex integrated water and hydro-electric power schemes in the world”.   John Donald speaks from his study and personal experience of the Snow Mountains Scheme.
