The rise of the CANZUK concept coincides with recent global events such as Brexit and the protectionist Buy America policy. Political elites from potential member states are far from dismissing the concept, which might bring into being a powerful economic bloc rivalling the European Union, China, and the United States.

CANZUK is a novel idea based on the creation of a new free trading bloc between the countries of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. The idea for CANZUK is not entirely new, but it has taken on a new dynamism given recent world events involving these four countries. In the context of this new enthusiasm, there has been a push to explain what a CANZUK agreement would look like and a website devoted to its promotion.

As Australia prepares to roll out a national vaccination program - aiming for a 95 percent uptake rate - big questions remain for employers and employees.

Employers have a clear incentive to want employees vaccinated, to protect clients and co-workers as well as to avoid legal liabilities of potential workplace COVID transmissions.

Lieutenant Jo Brook was in love the second she left the deck on her first helicopter flight and soon she will be the first woman in the Royal New Zealand Navy to qualify as a helicopter pilot.

Brook didn’t set out to be a trail-blazer. She was thinking about her future in the Navy after nearly six years as a Warfare Officer, and was intrigued to learn helicopter pilot was a potential career option for her specialisation.
