LEADER OF THE HUNGARIAN DEMOCRATIC COMMUNITY OF VOIVODINA
TESTIFIES. Andras Agoston, the chairman of the Hungarian Democratic
Community of Voivodina testified before the human rights committee
of the Hungarian parliament on 4 November.  Agoston said that the
peace efforts in his country were not proceeding well, and it was
feared that the civil war might even escalate. Agoston said the
Hungarians supported the policy of Yugoslav Prime Minister Milan
Panic, but that Panic could only be truly acceptable to the
Hungarians if he were willing to start a dialogue with them. The
DCV leader said talks could only be based on the Carrington plan.
He stressed that Voivodina Hungarians did not want the borders
changed, but wished to ensure that their human rights were
respected within the present borders. According to Agoston, some
25,000 Hungarians have left Voivodina as a result of the war, and
the Serbs wanted to replace them with 30,000 Serbians.  This was
unacceptable for the DCV because it would change the ethnic
composition of Vojvodina. The report was carried by MTI.  (Judith

CAMDESSUS ENCOURAGED BY EAST EUROPEAN ECONOMY.  International
Monetary Fund (IMF) Managing Director Michel Camdessus has said
several countries in Eastern Europe have made encouraging economic
progress, Western media reported. Speaking to bankers in Bonn on 5
November, Camdessus specifically named Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and
Poland. He said recent developments in those countries justified
"cautious optimism" that the sharp drops in output during the past
few years were "possibly at an end." He added that 1993 may see
positive growth in their gross domestic product for the first time
in almost five years. "We are possibly at a turning point," he
said. (Jan Obrman, RFE/RL, Inc.)

HUNGARY BACKS AWAY FROM NEW TAXES. After a cabinet meeting on 12
November, a government spokesperson said that the present tax-free
status of basic foodstuffs could be maintained in 1993 instead of
the planned 8% rise, Hungarian Radio reports. In addition,
apartment and house sales will be exempt from the planned 25%
value-added taxes for two more years. The government's retreat came
after heated opposition to the planned new taxes, some of which
came from government coalition party members. (Karoly Okolicsanyi,

HUNGARY PROTESTS NEW SERBIAN SHIPPING FEES ON THE DANUBE. The
Hungarian Foreign Ministry objected to Belgrade's recently
announced fees on Danube shipping, MTI reported on 9 November. The
fees amount to about $2,000 per ship. The ministry said that the
new fees violate the free shipping on the Danube and that Hungary
wants to call a special session of the Danube Commission to discuss
Belgrade's "unilateral and illegal" move.  (Karoly Okolicsanyi,

HUNGARIAN PREMIER REASSURES JEWISH LEADERS.  Hungarian Prime
Minister Jozsef Antall said that his government will act with the
"full vigor" of the law to protect minorities.  He made the remark
during a meeting with Jewish religious and cultural leaders,
Hungarian radio said on 9 November.  Antall also called for
"thoughtful analysis" of events and avoiding overreaction.  Jewish
leaders said that the Jewish community does not want to take part
in domestic political skirmishes.  The meeting came against a
backdrop of what many Jews regard as a resurgence of anti-Semitism
in Hungarian politics, an impression the government has been
anxious to dispel internationally.  (Karoly Okolicsanyi, RFE/RL,

NATO CONFIRMS AWACS PATROLS OVER HUNGARY. Hungarian 
rted
on 11 November, quoting a NATO spokesman in Brussels, that NATO
planes are
s over Hungary in
connection with the UN embargo and no-flight zone operations
against Serbia. Rumors to this effect had surfaced last week in
Budapest. These flights represent the first NATO operation outside
its territory in Europe. (Karoly Okolicsanyi, RFE/RL, Inc.)
 
YELTSIN IN HUNGARY.  MTI reports that Russian President Boris
Yeltsin, in the first high-ranking Russian visit in the post-Soviet
period, met with Hungarian President Arpad Goncz on 11 November.
Goncz emphasized that Russia is a major factor 
bility and an important economic partner for his country.  He
said Yeltsin's visit puts relations between the two nations on a
new footing.  Yeltsin also met with Prime Minister Jozsef Anta
eed that mutual financial claims regarding military
installations and environmental damage by Soviet troops cancel each
other out, although Hungary will supply the Russian army with $10
million worth of medicine and help with apartment-building projects
for returned soldiers. A complete solution for the $1.6-billion
Hungarian trade surplus was postponed, but Yeltsin agreed to supply

ssian military spare parts for half of that amount.  A basic
bilateral treaty is sought by 
 year. Yeltsin also
laid wreaths at the monument for Soviet war dead in central
Budapest and visited the grave of Imre Nagy, who lead the 1956
Hungarian revolution and who was hanged by the Soviet-backed
Hungarian communists.  (Karoly Okolicsanyi, RFE/RL, Inc.)

G'day to all.

I am trying to find out if folks in the University of New South Wales
have access to Gopher software.

A Professor Peter L Rogers of the Australian Biotechnology Association
University of NSW, has requested for some information on biotech
companies and organisations in Singapore.

I would like to tell him how to access the GOPHER hole biotech
database which we have set up here in Singapore.

Alternatively, if he doesn't have gopher access, telnet will do
too.

Worse, I can email a flat file of the information to him if anyone
knows of his internet or bitnet email address.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Not just lost; they will be strictly illegal. The new legislation forbids
an employer and employee entering into a contract which includes either 
penalty rates or holiday leave loadings.

So much for "removing Government interference".

The (new) Government's election propaganda was full of statements like:
"no existing benefits will be touched."  Somehow this did not stop
a legislated 2% pay cut (which is what the removal of the leave loading
means). Ironically, most of the people on the State payroll are on 
Federal awards. The cut mostly affects private industry employees.

Ho hum. A Bill was introduced today at 1am and guillotined through an
hour later. Was it only a year ago that Kennet was insisting that every 
piece of contentious new legislation be referred to an upper house
select committee for six months or so first.

Could this be a case of one law for the .....? But then if you are born
to rule, this sort of thing won't bother you.

Actually Chrissy and Caroline patch up their differences and form an alternative lifestyle
with Paul. Joe and Mel are in an airline crash but Joe survives a vegatable (rumoured to
recover in a future episode). Josh develops a glue-sniffing habit, leding to Phobe's
suicide. Brad, secretly in love with Phobe takes terrible revenge on Josh with
a lawnmower. Charlene admits she is really a brunette, then gets shot by a crazed gunman
from Summer Bay.

Marilyn will wear something tasteful when Benjamin watches something tasteful.

I can't resist putting in a note here. My mother in the UK (I am born
Canadian) sent me cutting from the Independent on Sunday, 25 Oct. 1992,
from the feature "Britain: Where Now?", a page called the "Good Emigrants
Guide". It discussed Argentina, Australia, Canada, Czechoslovakia, Denmark,
France, Germany, South Africa, Spain, and the United States as (British)
migrant destinations. I shall quote without permission the first two
paragraphs on Australia:

"Refugees from Birtain are unlikely to find much relief in Australia.
GDP rose by just 0.6% in the last quarter. Inflation is only 1.6%, but
unemployment is stuck at 10.8% and is unlikely to fall much during the
first half of the '90s.
The Australian Immigration Deparment's list of job skills in short supply
had recently dwindled to three: teachers of Japanese, teachers of mathematics
and therapeutic radiographers; this month, even those were scrapped. Australia
is so oversupplied with doctors and engineers that such people applying to
emigrate are now penalised."

Of course, if you have close family or a company over there insists no one
has your special skills, your chances are considerably better for getting
a residence permit.
