The blogger draws a parallel between the treatment of disabled people in Australia and the controversial policies of the UK’s Tory and LibDems Coalition Government (2010-2015), accused of ‘Crimes Against Humanity’ by a UN investigation for drastic cuts to support for people with disabilities. The blogger notes that this deprivation led to significant fatalities among disabled individuals. They compare the situation to Australia, where a landmark report calls for major reforms to make the country more inclusive for disabled people. The report, based on a four-and-a-half-year inquiry, recommended 222 changes, including passing a Disability Rights Act and ending segregated education by 2051.
He said that faced with a complex international situation, the world is rapidly moving toward multipolarity, economic globalization is progressing against headwinds, unilateral actions are unsustainable, and hegemonism is not popular. As permanent members of the UN Security Council, China and Russia bear important responsibilities for promoting global development and progress. Both sides need to strengthen their multilateral strategic cooperation, protect their legitimate rights and interests, and make new efforts to promote the international order toward fairness and justice.
The two sides also exchanged views on the current international and regional situation. On the Ukraine issue, Putin reiterated Russia’s willingness to resolve it through dialogue and negotiation.
During his visit to Russia, Wang Yi also co-chaired the 18th round of China-Russia strategic security consultation, attended a meeting between high representatives of China, Russia and Mongolia on security issues, and met separately with Lavrov and Jadamba Enkhbayar, secretary of the Mongolian National Security Council.
In addition, in a common front to crush the military threats, provocations, coercion, and tyranny of imperialists who seek to invade humanity’s independence, progress, and peaceful life, strategic and tactical cooperation between the two countries will become closer, and the two countries will join forces through strong support and solidarity. Both discussed openly the important issues and matters of immediate cooperation that arise in protecting the country’s sovereignty and development interests, regional and global peace and security, and international justice, and reached a satisfactory agreement and consensus of opinion.
In order to boost people’s willingness to have more than one child, subsidies in the form of cash are a good measure, as the cost of giving birth to and raising a child is very high in any modern society today. The family needs a bigger house to accommodate a new member, the mother needs to spend months preparing for the delivery and the couple needs to care for and nurture a young one, all of which costs money and the individuals’ time.
The local government can shoulder some of the costs and inconvenience by promoting baby-care services or improving the conditions of kindergartens. But besides these services, some monetary support will greatly help young child-raising couples.
The subsidy for the second child and third child in Changshan can help parents cover part of the expenses such as hiring a wet nurse or buying clothes and other necessities. It might not be a huge sum but it shows the local government’s determination to encourage more childbirths.
The local government in Changshan county has rightly identified new couples, as they are the ones who are most likely to be planning families, for the subsidies. More local governments should observe the results and consider following suit.
This sculptured memorial is constructed of red granite which forms a ‘walkway’ divided into two distinct halves. One half represents Britain whilst the other half represents Canada and the two country’s joint participation in WWI and WWII. The inclined sculpture is inset with 506 bronze maple leaves (the Canadian emblem) and the country’s coat of arms. Water flows across the sloping surface and creates an illusion of floating leaves. Situated to the rear of the Canada Memorial is Buckingham Palaces,
