Business and non-business related personal insolvency statistics

AFSA publish a breakdown of business and non-business personal insolvency statistics quarterly for bankrupts, debt agreement debtors and personal insolvency agreement debtors. The time series started in March 2003.

A business related personal insolvency occurs where an individual’s bankruptcy, debt agreement or personal insolvency agreement is directly related to his or her proprietary interest in a business.

The business and non-business personal insolvency statistics may be affected by differences in debtors’ interpretations of what constitutes a business and whether a proprietary interest in a business was the primary cause of insolvency.

For more information on the data, please see https://www.afsa.gov.au/resources/statistics/provisional-business-and-non-business-personal-insolvency-statistics/guide-to-business-and-non-business-personal-insolvency-activity-statistics

Wild dog management 2010 to 2014: National landholder survey results

This publication was produced by ABARES for 'Australian Wool Innovation (AWI) Ltd'  

 The report presents results and analysis from a national survey of Australian sheep and cattle landholders in late 2014, in areas affected by wild dogs. The results are combined with data from a similar 2010 survey to assess longitudinal changes in wild dog impacts and management activities. 

 Topics cover landholders' perspectives on wild dog problem severity and distribution, personal and economic impacts and collective management actions. The study also quantifies factors that influence the effectiveness of wild dog management groups and their achievement of outcomes. Around 1010 landholders participated in the 2014 survey. 

 This study is the final phase in an ABARES research package commissioned by Australian Wool Innovation Ltd. (AWI) that explores collaborative action in wild dog management activities. The research aims to assist AWI and other stakeholders design and plan future investment in wild dog management programmes to support industry viability.

Setting economic target reference points for multiple species in mixed fisheries

This publication was produced by CSIRO for the Fisheries Research and Development Corporation with research and data support by ABARES.  

 The report develops a framework that can be used to assist managers to cost effectively develop target reference points that are consistent with the Commonwealth Harvest Strategy Policy for multispecies in mixed fisheries. The report addresses the problem of determining appropriate target reference points for target and by-product stocks in multispecies fisheries. The applicability of this framework is demonstrated using a case study fishery, the trawl component of the Southern and Eastern Scalefish and Shark Fishery. 

 The report uses generic logistic and exponential bio-economic models to produce a target reference point consistent with the current management framework taking into consideration a wide range of biological and economic conditions. The output was included in the development of a generic decision support framework using two cost effective approaches: regression tree analysis and the Bayesian Network approach. Sensitivity tests were also conducted on all 4 models. The project also develops a separate set of bio-economic models specific to the trawl component of the Southern and Eastern Scalefish and Shark Fishery examining the static and dynamic aspects of maximum economic yield. 

 The results from the generic models suggest that the key determinants of the target reference point of individual species in multispecies mixed fisheries are catchability, growth rates and share of total fishery revenue. Other variables, such as costs of fishing, prices and number of species in the fishery are also influential but to a lesser degree. For the case study fishery, both of the cost effective approaches performed well and achieved better results than the current default proxy target reference point. An incidental result from the study is that attempting to impose a target reference point on all species may not be necessary (or feasible) in multispecies fisheries. Instead, imposing a target on the dominant species (in terms of revenue share) for each sub-fleet results in outcomes close to optimal, and reduces conflicts in catches where target reference points are not perfectly aligned.

Participatory wild dog management: views and practices of Australian wild dog management groups

This publication was produced by ABARES for 'Australian Wool Innovation (AWI) Ltd'  

 This study examined the features of Australian wild dog management groups, particularly in terms of landholder participation and collaboration, to identify what helps or hinders the groups in achieving coordinated and effective wild dog management. The study was based on interviews with representatives from 30 groups across Australia. 

 This work was undertaken as part of a broader ABARES research package commissioned by Australian Wool Innovation Ltd. (AWI) that explores collaborative action in wild dog management activities. The research aims to assist AWI and other stakeholders design and plan future investment in wild dog management programmes to support industry viability. 

 The study found that as well as reduced losses from wild dog attacks, the operations of many groups have resulted in more strategic and targeted control actions and better communication between neighbours. Wild dog management groups function as important social networks that help farming communities cope with the detrimental effects of wild dogs. The report makes suggestions about the support that groups may need in future to achieve wild dog management. 

 The study findings have been used in the design of a national landholder survey on wild dog management, which ABARES conducted in late 2014.

Implementation of improvements to the National Livestock Identification System for sheep and goats: decision Regulation Impact Statement

The National Livestock Identification System (NLIS) for Sheep and Goats is Australia's system for tracing sheep and goats. The ability to trace livestock allows Australia to respond quickly to food safety incidents and disease outbreaks. The purpose of this Decision Regulation Impact Statement (Decision RIS) is to recommend a preferred option for improving the NLIS for sheep and goats to meet the National Livestock Traceability Performance Standards. 

 This Decision RIS identifies the nature of the problem to be solved and explains the rationale for the preferred option. It also assesses the costs and benefits of all the options under consideration. This Decision RIS follows the guidelines of the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) in the Best Practice Regulation Guide. It has been approved for release by the Office of Best Practice Regulation.

Economic evaluation of the costs of biosecurity response options to address an incursion of Mytilopsis sallei (black-striped mussel) into Australia

This publication was produced by ABARES for Plant Health Australia  
 Overview  
 Experience from overseas indicates that the cost of an incursion by black-striped mussel is likely to be large without management. This report presents a comparison of the estimated costs associated with the alternative responses to an incursion: eradication and containment. Hypothetical incursions of black-striped mussel in ten case study areas across four Australian ports were considered. The cost of eradicating the initial mussel incursion from a case study area is compared to the cost of containing the mussel population to the port encompassing the case study area. The findings indicate that eradication is in most cases the preferred and less costly option over a range of time scales with the caveat that the likelihood of successful eradication will depend on early detection and response. 

 Key Issues  
•  Mytilopsis sallei  (black-striped mussel) is an invasive marine species that has been translocated from its native range in the Caribbean to a large number of ports in southern and eastern Asia. 
• An incursion of black-striped mussel in Darwin in 1999 was successfully eradicated at a cost of in excess of $3.2 million in 2012 terms. This species has been reported to have become established in a number of overseas trading ports, including Singapore, Hong Kong and Mumbai. The risks of translocation to Australia have therefore increased in recent years. 
• If an incursion by this species is not managed, it has the potential to cause significant and widespread economic and environmental damage. 
• A comparison of the costs associated with eradication with those of containment and control in a range of scenarios found that in many cases eradication is the preferred option, but containment and control may be preferred in some situations.

Wine grape farms in the Murray-Darling Basin

Wine grape farms in the Murray-Darling Basin  presents key farm performance measures for irrigated wine grape farms in the Basin, including data on water trading and use of irrigation technologies and with an emphasis on results from 2012-13 to 2014-15. 

 ABARES has conducted surveys of irrigation farms in selected industries and regions in the Murray-Darling Basin since 2006-07. The Murray-Darling Basin Authority (MDBA) funded this latest survey. 

 This report focuses on wine grape farms in the southern Murray-Darling Basin, where most of the Basin's wine grapes are produced. Average farm cash incomes of wine grape farms rose from 2006-07 to 2011-12 before falling in 2012-13 in response to lower grape production. An increase in production contributed to slightly higher average farm cash incomes in 2013-14 and 2014-15. 

 Grape crops in many areas of the Basin require regular irrigation because of the warm and relatively dry climate. From 2006-07 to 2014-15 the average volume of water used on wine grape farms mostly increased with this increase mainly due to an increase in average farm size. The proportion of grape farms using drip/trickle irrigation technologies has increased. 

 The number of grape growers trading temporary water allocations varied from year to year. The years with the highest proportions of net buyers were 2007-08 and 2008-09.
