CHINA BABY BOOM GOLDEN ERA FOR AUSTRALIAN FARMERS

ustralia’s free trade agreement with China is expected to be in place for the dairy industry by the end of the yearmaking exporting more affordable. During the next decade China will scrap import tariffs — some as high as 19 per cent — on everything from milk powder to yoghurt, fresh milk and cheese. Without doubt, the brightest star in the dairy sector is baby formula. The world’s most populous nation has seen a baby boom since the relaxation of the one child policy and demand for milk-related products is booming! “At the moment this year, it’s around an $18 billion infant formula market in China,” Judith Swales, Australian managing director of Fonterra, the world’s largest dairy processor, said. “By 2018, that’ll be around $33 billion. So you look and say not only is the growth absolutely huge, but it’s the quality of the growth that is also giving people the confidence to invest, and that’s not just the processors but also the farmers,” Ms Swales said. Fonterra is a farmer-owned New Zealand co-operative that owns and operates 10 factories in Australia. 04

DOES THE CHINA FREE TRADE AGREEMENT THREATEN AUSSIE JOBS? The memorandum allows substantially Chineseowned companies to build large infrastructure projects such as mines and power stations worth more than $150 million.

rade Minister Andrew Robb told ABC radio the agreement would net Australia billions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of jobs. But not everyone is so enthusiastic Unions said the deal threatens Australian jobs The Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU) is particularly concerned about workers on large infrastructure projects run by Chinese companies. Unions say the China-Australia Free Trade Agreement “allows Chinese companies to bring in their own workforce for projects over $150 million and removes the requirement that jobs be offered to local workers first.” We’ve taken a look at the agreement to analyse how secure Aussie jobs will really be with these new policies in place.The China free trade agreement includes a separate memorandum of understanding on large infrastructure projects and is one of the first of its kind in an Australian free trade agreement.

VNMMAGAZINE | OCTOBER 2015

“Free trade or economic agreements with South Korea and Japan include clauses that set out the terms for the movement of “natural persons”, essentially skilled and professional workers and business people, but the memorandum goes well beyond these categories to include semi- and low-skilled workers,” states Stuart Rosewarne, an expert on international migration at the University of Sydney. The memorandum allows substantially Chineseowned companies to build large infrastructure projects such as mines and power stations worth more than $150 million. It sets out a three-step process for bringing in workers on these large projects. The first step is that the substantially Chinese-owned project company, represented by the China International Contractors Association, establishes with the Foreign Affairs and Trade Department that the project is eligible for an infrastructure “investment facilitation arrangement” under the free trade agreement. The second step is that the Chinese company negotiates the infrastructure arrangement with the Immigration Department. Details that are subject to negotiation include the jobs, English language proficiency of the workers, and their qualifications and experience. The memorandum says the infrastructure arrangement will set out “guaranteed occupations and the terms and conditions against which overseas workers can be nominated for a temporary skilled visa for the purposes of the eligible project”. But the memorandum also states “there will be no requirement for labour market testing to enter into an [infrastructure arrangement]”.

Labour market testing means a company has to prove there are no Australians who can do a job before temporary visas are granted for foreign workers. The third step is that each employer involved in the project sets up a "labour agreement" with the Immigration Department. The memorandum states that a labour agreement will set out the number and type of jobs needed for the project and "the sponsorship obligations associated with the labour agreement, including any requirements for labour market testing". A footnote to the memorandum says that "where labour market testing is required, employers may satisfy this requirement by demonstrating that they have first tested the Australian labour market and not found sufficient suitable workers".The project agreement program was set up to allow Australian companies to bring in skilled and semiskilled temporary overseas workers to fill labour shortages on infrastructure or resource development projects. "It provides a flexible, tailored skilled migration arrangement for business and sectors with specific needs that sit outside the mainstream skilled migration programme," according to the immigration department's information. Michael Walker, a visa services manager with TSS Immigration, a company specialising in employer sponsored migration,

told ABC Fact Check that labour market agreements gave the Immigration Department very wide-ranging discretion. “It is not subject to as much black and white law as the standard business sponsor process for a 457 visa,” he said. The written agreement does state that Chinese companies can set up a large infrastructure project without testing the market to see if there are Australian workers to do the jobs. It also says that when issuing visas for these jobs, labour market testing is done “where required” and both the Foreign Affairs and Immigration Departments say companies will have to advertise jobs on these projects to local workers first.But the agreement does not specify that labour market testing must occur before visas are granted and the Department told Fact Check that requirement could be waived in “unique and exceptional circumstances”.Experts confirm the China free trade agreement allows the Immigration Department to decide that jobs should be offered to local workers before it issues visas to overseas workers, but it does not require this to happen. Professor Rosewarne claims there were no protections for local workers in the agreement. “The Department of Immigration might decide it’s appropriate but there’s nothing in the agreement that requires them to mandate there will be labour market testing,” he said.

MAKING HISTORY

ustralia and China have signed a free trade agreement with Prime Minister Tony Abbott hailing it as “history making” for both countries. Mr Abbott and China’s commerce minister Gao Hucheng signed the deal in Canberra on the 17th of June 2015 following a decade of negotiations.

“It means that Australian consumers will pay less for cars, for clothes, for electronics and other goods imported from China.” states Mr Abbott. Australian businesses currently face tariffs of up to 40 per cent on goods exported to China.

“What we have collectively done is history making for both our countries, it will change our countries for the better, it will change our region for the better... change our world for the better,” Mr Abbott said.

“The landmark agreement will lock in our existing trade relationship with our largest trading partner, and will be a catalyst for future growth across goods, services and investment,” Trade Minister Andrew Robb said.

“This agreement will give our nations unprecedented access to each other’s markets.

Together with the Japanese and South Korean pacts, it will underpin Australia’s prosperity for years to come, he added.

“We seize this opportunity of more trade and more investment with China and we complete a trifecta of trade with our major trading partners, not only China but also Japan and South Korea.” states Mr Abbott. The Government claims more than 85 per cent of Australian goods exports will be tariff free under the deal, rising to 95 per cent upon full implementation. Dairy, beef and seafood tariffs are set to be eliminated within years, and the agreement also eliminates all of China’s tariffs on

Australian resources and energy products.

VNMMAGAZINE | OCTOBER 2015

“By itself it’s hugely significant but put the three together and you really have got a set of trade agreements with over 50 per cent of our export markets,” he said. “Given what’s going on in the region, the extraordinary explosion of people going into the middle class, this is a landmark set of agreements. “It will see literally billions of dollars, thousands, many hundreds of thousands of jobs, and will underpin a lot of our prosperity in the years ahead.”

APPLE IPAD PRO TOP FEATURES FOR BUSINESS

The A9X chip is capable of processing data so quickly, it demanded a new memory architecture. iPad Pro features a revamped storage controller that helps deliver performance better than some desktop computers. This increases read and write speeds, so you can quickly open even the largest files. Like the big 4K movie you just edited or all the RAW images you imported from your HD camera.

pple’s latest edition to the iPad family was designed with productivity in mind.

Designed for work on the go- the screen will be an astonishing 12.9 inch display. With key new asccerioes such as the stylus and snap on keyboard- Apple has created a tablet that can transform into a laptop in a sleek thin deisgn. The uncompromising performance of iPad Pro is driven by some equally uncompromising technology. The A9X, our thirdgeneration chip with 64‑bit desktop‑class architecture, gives iPad Pro the power to easily take on tasks that were once reserved for workstations and PCs. And tasks you’d never consider doing on a PC. Despite this barrier-breaking performance, the A9X chip’s underlying architecture is efficient, ensuring that there’s one way in which iPad Pro isn’t massive — battery consumption. The iPad Pro — which runs on iOS, the same mobile operating system that powers the iPhone and other iPads — will launch in November starting at $799. Here’s a quick rundown of the features that should make it good for work.

12.9 INCH DISPLAY The iPad Pro is ready to ship with a supersharp 12.9-inch, 2,732 x 2,048-pixel display that gives you a lot more room to work. It’s a great size, since 13-inch laptops usually offer the best compromise between portability and productivity. And it’s noticeably larger than the Surface Pro 3’s 12.2-inch display.

SMART KEYBOARD Apple is rolling out the new Smart Keyboard with the iPad Pro. The keyboard doubles as a screen cover for the tablet when it’s not in use, then unfolds to create a kickstand .

LONGER BATTERY LIFE APPLE PENCIL Apple’s new stylus will turn the iPad Pro into a note-taking machine. Dubbed the Apple Pencil, the active pen accessory features full pressure sensitivity to make writing on the glass display feel natural.

FASTER PERFORMANCE Thanks to the new A9X processor Apple is promising that its new mobile processor has twice the memory bandwidth and storage performance of last year’s A8X processor. Apple even showed that the device is capable of running processorintensive apps like AutoCAD, a 3D design program for engineers

LONGER BATTERY LIFE Apple claims that the Pro will last for 10 hours on a full charge, which should be more than enough to get you through the longest business flights, including any stop overs.

THIN AND LIGHT DESIGN The iPad Pro will be thinner and lighter than the Surface Pro 3, which is good news for commuters and travelers. It weights a meager 1.57 lbs., compared to 1.76 lbs. for the Surface. And it’s just 0.27 inches thick, compared to 0.36 inches for the Surface.

TOP 10 MUST DO 1

WATER CUBE

National Aquatics Center, nicknamed “Water Cube”, is located in the Olympic Park, north of Beijing.It is dubbed “cube” because of its semi-transparent “bubbles” spread out all over its surface with a shape very similar to the structure of “H2O”.

THE GREAT WALL

If you are in a rush, you can get the most out of your visit to Beijing by hiking one of the sections of the Great Wall. The Great Wall snaking across Beijing in its northern part is about 600 kilometres long. Along the total length of the Great Wall around Beijing, there are eight major sections including Badaling, Juyongguan, Huanghuacheng, Jiankou, Mutianyu, Gubeikou, Jinshanling, and Simatai.

HUTONGS

Chang’An Avenue is regarded as the longest and widest street in the world. It is also reputed as “The First Street in China”, one of the most significant streets in China. Chang’An Street is an east-west axis avenue starting Dongdan in the east and Xidan in the west.

Do you have the experience of taking a pedicab? In the old Beijing hutong areas, you can find the ancient transportation tools now still preserved for tourists as the main traffic tool of visiting hutongs - Beijing unique old city lanes. The neighborhoods of narrow, twisting streets represent the “real life” of Beijing.

SUMMER PALACE

Situated at the northwest suburb of Beijing, the Summer Palace was originally a royal garden and a temporary dwelling palace for emperors of Qing Dynasty. The water surface of its Kunming Lake is spacious like the sky, charming, gentle and appealing. In the vast mist- covered water stand the magic hills and wonder islands.

TEMPLE OF HEAVEN

located in the southern part of Beijing, has been one of the most holy places in the whole country for more than five centuries. It is used as a complex of sacrificial buildings for the Ming and Qing emperors, and is the largest one in Beijing among several royal altars to Heaven, Earth, the Sun, the Moon and other deities or symbolic forces of Nature.

BEIJING OPERA Beijing Opera is a number of stylized action, including singing, dancing, dialogue and acrobatic fighting to tell a story or present different characters and their feelings of happiness, anger, sorrow, surprise, fear and sadness. In Peking opera there are four main types of roles: sheng (male) dan (young female), jing( painted face,male), and chou (clown, male).

BEIJING ROAST DUCK

Beijing duck is the local flavor of Beijing. Climbing the Great Wall, enjoying Beijing Opera and savoring Beijing Duck are the three “musts” for those visiting Beijing for the first time, which you cannot miss. The traditional method of preparing Beijing Duck has a history of over a hundred years and boasts a great reputation to this day.

CHANG’AN AVENUE

SHICHAHAI AREA

“Shichahai” literally means “Ten Temples Lake”. The lake was once circled by 10 temples, hence the name. The lake was called “Haizi”, a long and square lake in Yuan Dynasty (1271 -1368). Later the lake was narrowed and divided into three connected lakes – Qianhai (Front Lake), Houhai (Back Lake) and Xihai (West lake) in Ming Dynasty (1368 -1644).

PANDA HOUSE

The Panda House is located in Beijing Zoo. Now the Beijing Zoo covers an area of about 50 hectares. The animal houses and enclosures, with a total floor space of 40,000 square metres, include those for pandas, elephants, brown and polar bears, tigers, hippopotami, rhinoceros, antelopes, giraffes and reptiles. vnm magazine 013

QUIZ- IS YOUR WORK LIFE BALANCE IN CHECK?

Both life and work can sometimes be hectic- you can easily find yourself in a situation where you feel stretched in both directions. A healthy balance of work-life is something everyone has heard of- but how many are actually aware of whether their own balance is in check? Feeling rundown or overworked- not sleeping too well and missed another kid’s footy practise? These simple questions below will help determine if your balance is right, to make sure you put the balance back and take control of your life! 1.

Have you recently worked more then 40 hours in a week? Yes/No

Do you sleep on average 7-8 hours per night? Yes/No

Have you recently taken time for any hobbies? Yes/No

Do you have the time to exercise three times per week? Yes/No

Have you caught up with your best friend in the last month? Yes/No

Do you find yourself able to switch off when you are home easily? Yes/No

Do you have one day a week consistently that is dedicated to yourself or immediate family? Yes/No

Do you read the paper or a book daily? Yes/ No

Do you have frequent headaches or stomach pains? Yes/No

10.

Do you find yourself constantly checking your phone for calls or emails? Yes/No

Mostly Yes- You’re taking on too much and need to get more support either at work or at home, or both. You need to pay attention to this, because even if you can sustain highly stressful situations for a period of time, over the long term, you could incur irreversible damage to your body. Speak to your employer about taking a long weekend off, or if self employed, arrange for one night a week where your phone is switched off. You need to take the time to reboot your body and your mental state. Mostly No: You have a good fit for work and life demands. You take care of yourself. You’re at low risk of burnout and are a good role model of work-life balance for others.

SPOTLIGHT ON GUY KAWASAKI AND 10 SIMPLE STEPS IN START UP BUSINESS

uy Kawasaki is the chief evangelist of Canva, an online, graphics-design service, trustee of the Wikimedia Foundation, and executive fellow at the Haas School of Business at U.C. Berkeley. Formerly, he was an advisor to the Motorola business unit of Google and chief evangelist of Apple. He is the author of The Art of the Start 2.0, The Art of Social Media, Enchantment to name a few out of his 13 publications. Starting a business is one of the biggest and hardest steps any entrepreneur can make. Speaking at the Wired for Wonder conference in Sydney last month, the Silicon Valley marketing pioneer discussed 10 key steps in successful start ups. 1.

Therefore, what?

“Great companies start with people asking very simple questions. When you look at Microsoft or Google or Apple, you might think that at the very start they had a grand vision of an operating system, applications, devices, gaming. You’d be surprised to learn that most of these companies start with very simple questions like, ‘Therefore, what?’ “This happens when you have a perspective, a vision, and you know in your heart that some day there will be lots of phones with cameras, and they will all be connected to the cloud — therefore, what? Therefore you start Flickr, or Snapchat, because when this vision comes true there will be so many ways to get pictures online there should be a service to tap into that.” 2.

Do you have a MVVVP?

“Most people are familiar with the concept of a minimum viable product — viable meaning you can sell it for more than it cost to make — but I would like to add ‘valuable’. A product that, to use the words of Steve Jobs, dents the universe. The final ‘v’ is validating. It should validate your vision, your perspective, your hope for the world.“ Imagine if Apple announced it was going back into the printer business, let’s apply the test. Is it viable? Absolutely. People will buy an Apple-labelled laser printer, no problem. Is it valuable? I would debate it’s not valuable. And is it validating? Does it say anything about Apple’s vision for the future? Not at all.” 3.

Are you all on the same page?

“You need to be on the same page. If some of the founders are looking at it as a lifestyle company where they’ll come in and work part time, never work weekends, come in late, and maybe quickly flip it, while others are willing to dedicate their lives, to lash themselves to the company, if the company goes down they’ll go down with it — that’s not people who are on the same page.”

016

VNMMAGAZINE | OCTOBER 2015

What’s your business model?

“That’s the definition of a business model. [But] keep it simple. There are many ways to innovate on products and services, it’s very difficult but very rewarding if you pull it off. Don’t open up a dual front trying to innovate on your business model. You’re making your life too hard. You want a business model where it costs you $1 and you sell it for $10.” 5.

What’s your worse case scenario?

“One way of testing your assumptions is to do a bottom up analysis. Using all of our SEO magic, perhaps we can get 100,000 unique visitors to our site every month. Let’s say out of those, 1 per cent buy a case of 25 cans of dog food. That’s 25,000 cans of dog food — so we have a bit of a discrepancy. Bottom up we come up with 25,000 cans, the other way we come up with 45 million cans. Guess which side of this spectrum your results are likely to be? 6.

Whats your story?

“Make it personal. The founder of eBay tells a story that the reason he started eBay was because his wife wanted to sell her Pez dispenser collection. 7.

Are your employees better then you?

“You need to ignore irrelevancy. Everyone knows when you hire people you look at education and work experience. If you find someone with perfect educational background and perfect work experience, but does not love the product, I would make the case that work experience and background are irrelevant. “The other thing is to hire better than yourself. ‘A’ players hire ‘A+’ players, ‘B’ players hire ‘C’ players, ‘C’ players hire ‘D’ playerse. If you start hiring ‘B’ players, if you lower your standards, you’re going to be surrounded. This is called the bozo explosion.” 8.

Are you socializing?

“Social media is the best thing that ever happened to entrepreneurs because now marketing is fast, free and ubiquitous. When I started you would have to pay $75,000 for a Wall Street Journal ad. That’s not true anymore.” 9.

Are you open minded?

“The key to that is to let 100 flowers blossom. You may think you know exactly what people should do with your product or service only to find out you were wrong, that unintended customers use your product in unintended ways. Celebrate, declare victory.” 10.

Are you ready to stand up tall?

“The dangerous clown is the successful clown. Imagine you were Steve Jobs and you met [DEC founder] Ken Olsen, and you told him your idea for a personal computer, and he shut you down by saying there’s no reason why anyone would want a computer in their home. “He was a great entrepreneur, but he could not embrace the personal computer. Because if you think about it, at the time [Steve Jobs] was starting Apple, who would be a better investor, mentor, director, than someone like Ken Olsen?”
