  1. Pakistan elections - Rear Vision - ABC Radio National (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

    For the first time in Pakistan’s history an elected civilian government has run its full term and, if all goes well on 11 May, power will be handed to another elected government.

    While that might not seem very significant to us here in Australia in Pakistan it’s a democratic first. Since Pakistan came into existence in 1947 elected governments have rarely run their full term—mostly being kicked out by the Pakistan military.

    So the May 2013 election is a significant milestone in the history of Pakistan’s democracy. Rear Vision takes a look at the development of democracy in Pakistan over the past five years and at the main political players vying for power in this election.

    Guests:
    Mona Sheikh, Postdoctoral Researcher at the Danish Institute for International Studies.
    Samina Yasmeen, Professor Political Science and International Relations at University of Western Australia and the Director of the Centre for Muslim states and Societies.
    Abdul Basit, Senior Analyst, with the International centre for political violence and terrorism research at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies in Singapore.
    Hassan Askari Rizvi, Political analyst based in Lahore, Pakistan.

  3. Superannuation in Australia - Rear Vision - ABC Radio National (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

    Rear Vision dives into the murky waters of superannuation to see just how Australia came up with its unusual system of retirement funding.

    A means-tested age pension became available in Australia to all women aged sixty and men aged sixty five in 1910. It was - and is - paid out of general revenue. Superannuation – a retirement savings scheme in which our employer contributes a certain percentage of our wages into a fund – didn’t become widely available in Australia until it was introduced by the Keating government in the early 1990s. Rear Vision looks at how Australia came up with its unusual system of funding retirement through a mix of superannuation and the age pension.

    Guests:
    Professor Susan Thorp, Chair of Finance and Superannuation, University of Technology, Sydney

    Peter Martin, Economics correspondent for Fairfax Media

    Professor Francis Castles, Emeritus Professor, School of Politics and International Relations, Australian National University

  6. The Republic of Great Britain? - Rear Vision - ABC Radio National (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

    It’s been a while since the idea of becoming a republic has been at the forefront of public debate in Australia; even the election of a Federal Labor government in 2007 didn’t revive it. So I was surprised to discover on a recent trip to London that a British organisation called Republic was holding a conference. While Republic is only a small group, I thought it was a good opportunity to find out just how much debate there is in Britain over the role of the monarchy and its future.

    Rear Vision looks at the short history of the modern British monarchy and the small but passionate debate over its future.
