Abstract:
General equilibrium modelling has been used to analyse many policy proposals. This article aims to help non-modellers assess general equilibrium analyses, particularly of a potential Australia—China free trade agreement (FTA). General equilibrium modelling is effective in studies of unilateral tariff reductions. However, most general equilibrium modelling assumes given technologies and information. For issues where the essence is technology transfer and new information, general equilibrium models can only produce results after most of the analysis has been done outside the model. In an Australia—China FTA, tariff cuts may be only a small part of the package. The main part may be goodwill, technology transfer and increased mutual awareness. Thus, for analysing FTAs, general equilibrium modelling is of limited value. The only conclusion for Australia that general equilibrium modelling of an Australia—China FTA can deliver with any certainty is that such an agreement will cause significant contraction in the Australian clothing industry.

Abstract:
By way of an examination of the contemporary reemergence of homeworking in the Australian clothing industry, some of the links between industrial and labour-market restructuring are explored. The growth of homeworking reflects not only the pressures placed on clothing firms to reduce costs and enhance production flexibility (increasingly, the ‘conventional wisdom’ explanations), but also represents an attempt on the part of these firms to reconstruct their urban labour-market relations. It is argued that labour-market considerations warrant attention alongside those considerations pertaining to the labour process which are usually prioritised in the literature on industrial restructuring. The case of homeworking reveals some of the ways in which labour-market processes (such as the gendered nature of labour supplies, the ethnic segmentation of the labour force, and the contours of interindustry competition for labour) exert a powerful influence upon the nature of industrial change. Moreover, questions about the development, by firms and by industries, of characteristic urban labour-market relations are also raised.

Abstract:
In a world of increasing poverty, anthropologists have used their knowledge and research as proactive agents for marginalized producers who strive to meet the task of daily survival. Among the many strategies developed to improve the plight of impoverished peoples at home and abroad, one area that has particularly enhanced producers' livelihoods and standard of living is the Fair Trade movement. A global grassroots movement, fair trade fosters democratic and equitable international production and exchange. Small-scale craft, clothing and agricultural producers throughout the world trade directly with US, Canadian, European, Japanese, Australian, and New Zealand marketers who guarantee fair prices and other services.1 A number of anthropologists are currently working in the Fair Trade movement as advisors, consultants, curators and marketers (Grimes and Milgram 2000).

Abstract:
This study examined Australian farmers’ engagement with skin cancer prevention behaviours and explored what made it hard for them to be ‘SunSmart’ (barriers), and what could be done to make prevention easier (facilitators). In total, 498 farmers (83.1% male, 22–89 years, 50.8% grain, sheep, or cattle farmers) participated. The least frequently performed SunSmart behaviours (reported as never practiced during summer) were using SPF 30+ sunscreen (16.6%), wearing protective sunglasses (10.5%), and wearing protective clothing (8.6%). Greater engagement (i.e., higher scores on scale from Never to Always) with SunSmart behaviours was explained by gender (female), educational attainment (trade or technical college certificate vs. high school), personal skin cancer history, and skin sun sensitivity. Barriers reported by farmers related to personal preferences (e.g., short-sleeved rather than long-sleeved clothing), comfort, and perceived impracticality of sun protection. Farmers’ solutions included making protective clothing and sunscreen more appropriate for farm work (e.g., by making clothing more breathable). A personal health scare was the most reported motivation for skin cancer prevention. Findings highlight the need for increased access to sun-protective clothing and sunscreen that is suitable for wearing when working on farms, complemented by culturally appropriate health education messaging, to encourage more farmers to perform SunSmart behaviours.

Abstract:
Trade liberalization and reinforcing industry-specific assistance measures have been instrumental in globalizing the Australian textile, clothing, footwear (TCF) and motor vehicle industries by re-orienting production from the domestic to international market. As a result, output and has contracted in the former industry whilst expanding in the latter industry. These results are in line with TCF and motor vehicle production in other western market economies. This, in turn, indicates that labour intensive industries are likely to be contracting whilst capital intensive industries dominate production in these economies. This has important implication for manpower policies in that they need to be formulated to upgrade the skills of the labour force in order to facilitate the expanding production of capital intensive goods, thereby promote employment growth in the long run.

Abstract:
In the new International Division of Labour (IDL ), the traditional pattern that developing countries produced raw materials in exchange for the manufactured products of developed countries has been reversed. China, as a developing countries has been currently supplying a considerable quantity of labour-intensive goods to the developed countries, particularly Australia. The aim of this study was to examine China's exports of clothing to Australia in exchange for foodstuff, raw materials and more advanced products. The main thrusts of the thesis show that China, since 1979, has been enthusiastically participating in the International Division of Labour and adopting an export-oriented strategy. Based on its comparative advantage, a host of clothing production has been relocating to China from the NICs. In the wake of such relocations, China has been launching an aggressive clothing exports to the rest of the world. Of these countries, Australia has been one of China's important clothing destinations. By the early 1990s, more than half of Australia's clothing imports came from China which constituted about 30% of China's total exports to Australia. Such success was attributable to the political affinity of the two governments, the business strategies of Australian retailers, China's improvement in quality and marketing, cost advantage, currency devaluation, wider use of natural fibres, the NICs withdrawal from the Australia's market. However, China's dominating position in Australia has been facing challenges by Australian nationalistic consumerism and from other would-be clothing producers in some developing countries. Facing the flood of clothing imports, Australia had switched its protectionist stance to a liberalisation policy. Coupled with such a liberalisation, the Australian government has been attempting to revitalise and downsize its domestic clothing industry In the new IDL, China has become a significant labour-intensive manufacturing exporter, particularly clothing, whereas Australia has to restructure its exports to be more resource oriented and more technology-intensive.

Abstract:
Religion has been largely overlooked in the study of clothing trades and fashion consumerism in the dress history of colonial Australia. While the majority of colonial society used fashionable dress to display wealth and rank, for plain religious sects such as Quakers (the Religious Society of Friends) rejecting fashion signalled their morality. Australian Quakers' relationships with fashion in their personal wardrobes or businesses are underexplored. In the nineteenth century, three generations of the Mather family were respected drapers, philanthropists and members of a staunch Quaker sect in Hobart, Tasmania, the stronghold of colonial Australian Quakerism. This thesis examines how Quaker belief was performed in the Mather drapery shops by exploring the Quaker notion of consistency between internal beliefs and outward practices, and the prerogative of Quakers to act as moral role models for society. It demonstrates how the Mather family drapers upheld their religious testimonies of plainness, pacifism and integrity while maintaining successful stores. This thesis reasserts the agency of Quaker retailers in the clothing choices of non-Quakers. Research was conducted from an interdisciplinary 'new dress history' and material religion approach. Sources included dress objects, correspondence, diaries, photographs and advertising. Pierre Bourdieu's notion of habitus was applied to explore the way Quaker belief and discipline created a moral atmosphere in the drapery store, and Michel Foucault's theory of panopticism accounted for how this atmosphere was projected on to Hobart society through their customers as a disciplinary strategy. This thesis argues that underlying the negotiation of faith and fashion was the drapers' desire for the improvement or perfectibility of society through selling certain kinds of dress. I have called the process by which this occurred 'convinced consumption'. This is the first study of colonial Australian Quaker drapers, making it an original contribution to Australian dress history and Quaker studies.

Abstract:
Trade liberalization has played a pivotal role in improving the export orientation of the various Australian manufacturing industries (at the two-digit level) in the period 1974/75-2000/01. However, those industries subjected to industry-specific assistance measures — for example, the textile, clothing and footwear and the machinery and equipment industries (motor vehicle industry component) — have exhibited a superior export-oriented performance. The important lesson emanating from this result for the information technology sector is that although it is also subjected to these measures, their expansion can help alleviate the weak and stagnant export performance in information technology goods thereby helping to combat the projected large balance of trade deficit. Moreover, stronger output and employment growth will arise because of the significant contribution of these goods to the economy.
