- Like Mega Financial, companies across Taiwan are now working to get staff and systems up to speed after the island passed laws to meet international standards on combating money laundering and was taken off a watchlist by the Asia Pacific Group on Money Laundering (APG). Unfortunately, Taiwan has earned a name for itself as a paradise for money laundering,” Deputy Justice Minister Tsai Pi-chung told Reuters. Money laundering and cybercrime connections to Taiwan—which is also in the process of pushing through a cyber security bill—have grabbed global headlines. http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/news/world/taiwan-looks-to-shed-reputation-as-money-laundering-paradise/article9836426.ece

- https://www.ft.com/content/8bd5f040-ce40-11e9-b018-ca4456540ea6 BHP, the world’s biggest mining company, is being pressed to take a tougher line on powerful advocacy groups that engage in obstructive lobbying for the fossil fuels industry. The Australian Centre for Corporate Responsibility has filed a shareholder resolution calling on the Anglo-Australian company to suspend its membership of associations whose campaigns are inconsistent with the goals of the Paris agreement on climate change. These include the Minerals Council of Australia, the main lobby group for the country’s coal industry. The resolution already has the support of investors with more than $90bn in assets, including the Church of England Pensions Board and ACTIAM, a Dutch fund management group. They hope it will be heard at BHP’s annual shareholder meetings in London and Australia, in October and November, respectively.

trade union
- The Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining and Energy Union (CFMMEU) is Australia's main trade union in construction, forestry, maritime, mining, energy, textile, clothing and footwear production. The CFMMEU is affiliated with the Australian Council of Trade Unions, with the Australian Labor Party and with the World Federation of Trade Unions. The Construction and General Division was formed in the early 1990s with the creation of the national CFMEU. The creation of a single building union had been a policy objective of various building unions for decades with records showing the Queensland Branch of the Operative Painters and Decorators Union (OPDU) carried resolutions calling for a single industry union to be created as early as the 1920s. The rationale behind this policy position was the logical view that members would be better represented by a larger industry-based union rather than the traditional craft unions.

- The Pacific Trade and Development Conference (PAFTAD) is an informal private academic conference series that, since its origins in 1968, has developed into a driving force behind the development of thought on Pacific trade and development issues and important economic policy questions facing the region.The ideas and discussions generated by PAFTAD have helped drive and shape other Pacific economic cooperation organisations, including Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) and the Pacific Economic Cooperation Council (PECC). Each PAFTAD conference is organised around a particular theme, and research papers addressing the topic are presented and discussed. The results are published in the PAFTAD volume series. Since its inception in 1968 the PAFTAD conference series has established itself as one of the leading sources of ideas and discussion on issues affecting economic development in the Asia Pacific. A private organisation with no formal government ties, PAFTAD has been, and continues to be a driving force for ideas about policy innovation and development at both the national and regional levels.
