DROUGHT AND THE MULTIPLIER

The effects of a 20 per cent across-the-board drought-year reduction in farm output upon G.N.P., imports and the balance of payments are estimated via an econometric mode of the Australian economy. The effects do not appear to be overly large and taper off rapidly in succeeding years

Melioidosis in an intensive piggery [soil contamination of drinking water].

Early in 1977, 25 of 1057 (2.36%) porker pig carcasses from one piggery were condemned for melioidosis. This was associated with contamination of the water supply with clay particles. No Pseudomonas pseudomallei was isolated. The number of condemnations for melioidosis rose from 0.2% and 0% in 1977-1978 and 1978-1979 to 0.96% in 1979-1980. P. pseudomallei was isolated from soil samples collected from close to the water supply
