4 Foreword Australia is one of the most urbanised countries in the world. Our cities play a pivotal role in securing the social, economic and environmental wellbeing of our nation. Cities are not only centres of economic activity and home to the vast majority of Australians they are also gateways for the important economic and cultural contribution of regional Australia. Our cities have a strategic contribution to make to Australia s global competitiveness in an increasingly urbanised world. The Australian Government is committed to forging a fairer, more prosperous and resilient future for Australia and is determined that Australian cities lead the world in productivity, sustainability and liveability. As is the case internationally, Australian cities are confronted by significant long-term challenges including population growth and demographic change, climate change, increasing fuel costs and resource limitations, housing affordability, technological change, and the accelerating processes of globalisation. As concentrated centres of people and activity, cities also provide immense social and economic opportunity, as well as substantial potential to redress environmental pressures. The way in which governments plan and manage our cities therefore needs to respond effectively to these challenges whilst harnessing opportunities. This will be critical to maintaining and improving the quality of life enjoyed by our communities and to help secure the nation s productivity into the future. On 1 December 2010, the Australian Government released Our Cities building a productive, sustainable and liveable future discussion paper, accompanied by a background and research paper Our Cities the challenge of change. These documents set out the Australian Government s aspirations for a national approach to planning and managing our cities, and invited contributions to a national discussion on the future of our cities. I thank all who participated in this dialogue, and in particular to the many individuals and organisations that committed time and energy to lodging submissions. The Australian Government is now taking the next step in setting a framework for how in partnership with State, Territory and local governments, business and the community we can deliver on the aspirations Australians have for our urban communities. The National Urban Policy establishes the Australian Government s objectives and directions for our cities as we prepare for the decades ahead. It recognises the critical roles of State, Territory and local governments, the private sector and individuals, in planning, managing and investing in cities. It also highlights that the Australian Government makes decisions that impact upon urban Australia. This is the first time that an Australian Government has sought to outline its overarching goals for the nation s cities and how we will play a role in making them more productive, sustainable and liveable. The National Urban Policy is about how the Australian Government can facilitate better outcomes in our cities through both direct investment and by influencing the actions of others. It shows where we have already started to make substantial reforms, and proposes additional critical actions to set us on the path to creating better cities. The Australian Government has already demonstrated its commitment to better outcomes for Australian cities through simplified regulatory environments and its significant and unprecedented funding of public transport projects across most of Australia s capital cities. These efforts are part of a much more substantial reform agenda.
5 Foreward 3 This National Urban Policy sets a vision for our cities to deliver future prosperity and wellbeing for our communities and reinforces the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) national objective to ensure Australian cities are globally competitive, productive, sustainable, liveable, socially inclusive and well placed to meet future challenges and growth. The National Urban Policy complements the Australian Government s Sustainable Population Strategy and our ongoing focus and commitment to Regional Australia. It recognises the strong interrelationships between cities and regions. The policy does not focus on capital cities alone, but recognises the important role that our major regional centres also play, and the substantial challenges that they face in dealing with the complexities of the modern economy. The 2011 Budget began rolling out practical measures to tackle the big challenges our cities face skills, planning and urban renewal, suburban jobs and investment. I am proud to present the first National Urban Policy. This is a key step to making our cities more productive, sustainable and liveable and I look forward to continuing strong partnerships in delivering it.

7 Chapter 1 Introduction
8 Chapter 1 Introduction To secure the ongoing prosperity and wellbeing of our communities, we must ensure that our cities meet the needs of current and future generations. We must ensure that economic growth can be sustained and increased without compromising the natural environment or our quality of life. This is the basis of a sustainable future. The Australian Government has a role in planning for, and delivering, an urban Australia that is more productive, sustainable and liveable. The development and management of our cities affects national prosperity and the wellbeing of all Australians, no matter where they live. Three-quarters of Australians live in 18 major cities with populations over (Figure 1). While Australians enjoy some of the most liveable cities in the world, our cities face a number of long term challenges: the need to improve productivity growth; provide affordable and accessible housing; create safe community spaces; meet the needs of a growing and ageing population; ensure an inclusive and cohesive society; and address the implications of climate change. The way our cities develop to accommodate future growth and change will be critical to maintaining their status as some of the best cities in the world. Figure 1.

9 Introduction 7 Quite reasonably, Australians expect their cities to provide a variety of social and economic opportunities whilst also protecting valuable environmental and cultural resources. Australians are clear that they expect their governments, at all levels, to deliver these outcomes. Consistent policy objectives ensure that investments in, and management of, urban systems will create more productive, sustainable and liveable outcomes for our cities. Diversity of lifestyle choices, improved accessibility and affordability, and less carbon dependent ways of living, need to be adopted. This includes enabling our people our human capital to participate fully in society through education and training and matching people to jobs; by facilitating an adequate supply of appropriate housing; by lessening dependency on private motor vehicle use and carbon fuels; and by re-thinking the way our cities and communities are planned. The National Urban Policy establishes the first long term national framework to guide policy development and public and private investment in cities. In establishing the framework the Australian Government is determined to improve the productivity, sustainability and liveability of our major urban centres. Productivity Productivity growth will be the key driver of economic growth and prosperity over the long term. Our major cities generate around 80 per cent of our gross domestic product and employ 75 per cent of our national workforce. Cities are centres of economic activity where labour, industry and social institutions are concentrated. How efficiently our cities connect people, knowledge, businesses and markets and how effectively our economic and human capital is utilised directly impacts upon the economic performance of our urban and regional areas and their ability to contribute to national productivity growth. Sustainability A more sustainable Australia will require better management of the consumption of resources and production of waste to reduce our impact on the environment. Our rapidly growing urban populations are intensifying pressure on the environment through increased demand for water, energy, land and other resources, and through the production of waste and pollution. We need to reduce the carbon pollution generated by our cities, produce environmental benefits, and become more resilient to future shocks, including the impacts of climate change. Liveability Liveable cities offer a high quality of life and support the health and wellbeing of people who live and work in them, and visit for business or recreation. Liveable cities are equitable, socially inclusive, affordable, accessible, healthy, safe and resilient. They have attractive built and natural environments and provide a diversity of choices and opportunities for people to live their lives, share friendships, and raise their families to their fullest potential. Links between productivity, sustainability and liveability In cities the challenges and opportunities of productivity, sustainability and liveability are part of an interrelated and dynamic system. Addressing one goal can have an impact, either positively or negatively, on the others. For example, efficient public transport can address congestion and improve access to jobs and opportunity (productivity); it can also reduce greenhouse gas emissions (sustainability); and enable affordable access to education, health and recreational facilities (liveability). Likewise, access to affordable high speed broadband will speed up business transactions (productivity); reduce the need for physical movement and transportation of people
10 8 Our Cities, Our Future A national Urban Policy Framework for a productive, sustainable and liveable future and documents (sustainability); and enable enhanced social, cultural and educational participation (liveability). Why we need a National Urban Policy Urban issues have emerged as key features of national policy agendas. The importance of cities and their metropolitan areas to the national economy as well as their strategic role as global nodes in international markets has led governments to renew their support for cities. The concept of urban policy transcends the confines of narrow definitions given that nearly all public policies directly or indirectly affect urban development. OECD 2011 There are a number of reasons why an Australian National Urban Policy is critical to the future of our nation: Cities are integral to our economy and our future prosperity. Our cities support and rely on our regions. A positive future for our cities is important for the future of our regional areas. The way our cities are planned and built affects how efficiently they can function as generators of regional economic growth. We are facing significant challenges that need to be urgently addressed if we are to secure the long term productivity, sustainability and liveability of our nation. While these challenges are apparent in both cities and regional areas there are particular issues and opportunities that are more apparent in our cities. Our cities are where the majority of Australians live. The nature of where and how people live has a profound effect on the wellbeing of individuals, households and communities, and their ability to participate in, and make a contribution to, society. The 2010 Intergenerational Report, the State of Australian Cities 2010 report and the Our Cities discussion paper and accompanying background and research paper highlighted the contemporary challenges and opportunities faced by Australian cities: With the ageing of our population, the proportion of people who will be in the workforce is declining, thereby eroding the taxation base and depleting our labour supply relative to the total population. It is critical that we maximise our workforce participation, carefully target immigration policies and ensure our workforce is highly skilled. As our population ages, the costs of our health system increases. As we become more diverse as a community our housing and lifestyle wants and needs also change. Global warming, climate change, and a range of recent natural disasters are highlighting the vulnerability of our cities and the need to price carbon. Cities must adapt to the expected impacts of climate change. Our cities need physical, economic and social resilience. We are now operating in a global economy where we compete for commerce and skilled labour. We must strive for maximum amenity and liveability for our urban communities and to attract visitors, whether they are here for business or leisure. The complexity and scale of these challenges requires a national approach to cities. The Australian Government, as a key player in the future of our urban systems, must provide leadership on innovative, adaptable and resilient solutions. The decisions that government, business and individuals make have a significant impact on our cities. It is necessary that we know what effect our decisions are likely to have on our cities, and to set clear aspirations and directions that guide actions and interventions. Coordinating actions in cities States and Territories, together with local governments, have primary responsibility to plan for urban growth and change. To support the States and Territories in this role, the Australian Government works cooperatively with these jurisdictions through COAG.
11 Introduction 9 The Australian Government has made significant investments in Australia s urban communities through its contribution to the development of economic, transport and other infrastructure; health, housing, education and training; and social services and welfare. These investments, together with a range of Commonwealth policies and regulatory activities, influence the way cities are planned, managed and developed. However, in the past, Commonwealth policies, investments and activities were not always coordinated with other levels of government, nor well understood from the spatial/geographic perspective of cities. Council of Australian Governments Reforms On 7 December 2009, the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) agreed to a national objective and nine criteria to ensure Australian cities are globally competitive, productive, sustainable, liveable, socially inclusive and are well placed to meet future challenges and growth. COAG agreed that by 1 January 2012, States and Territories will have in place plans that meet the criteria and noted that the Australian Government will link future infrastructure funding decisions to meet these criteria. In order to do this, the Australian Government will: consider whether State capital city strategic planning systems have met the criteria; have reference to, and endeavour to act in a manner consistent with, those capital city strategic planning systems which meet the national criteria; and consider whether there is a jurisdiction-specific mechanism to ensure independent and expert advice is provided to governments on the development and implementation of capital city strategic planning systems. The Australian Government undertook to contribute to the reforms through: using its property and assets to support innovative urban development, wherever possible; better coordination of the management of Commonwealth properties with State and local planning systems, including for airports, as outlined in the Aviation White Paper; better coordination of the management of Australian Government services, for example, the location of major Australian Government service delivery facilities, with State, Territory and local planning systems; and improved linkages and streamlined approval processes under relevant Commonwealth legislation. As part of these reforms, the COAG Reform Council (CRC) is currently undertaking a review of jurisdictions capital city strategic planning systems against the nationally agreed criteria. This review will conclude by December Once the CRC has completed its review, the Australian Government will consider what further actions, if any, are necessary to deliver on our objective to provide more productive, sustainable and liveable cities. The Minister for Infrastructure and Transport will work with the Minister for Regional Australia, Regional Development and Local Government and the Minister for Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities in leading the Australian Government s activities in regard to cities policy. The National Urban Policy represents an important contribution from the Australian Government to the COAG cities reform agenda by: establishing national principles and priorities to guide States and Territories in the development of strategic planning systems to ensure our cities become more productive, sustainable and liveable; articulating how the Australian Government will coordinate its own policies, investment and activities in cities, in partnership with State, Territory and local governments, the private sector and communities; and outlining how the Australian Government will uphold the COAG agreement through its policies, investment and activities.
12 10 Our Cities, Our Future A national Urban Policy Framework for a productive, sustainable and liveable future The Sustainable Population Strategy and other national policy initiatives To support a sustainable Australia, the Government knows it needs to help to get the balance right to meet Australia s future challenges. Three key initiatives in the 2011 Budget underpin the Government s approach to building a sustainable Australia: the National Urban Policy; measures supporting the Sustainable Population Strategy; and the Regional Policy agenda. These commitments will enable us to achieve more productive, sustainable and liveable cities and build strong regional communities, providing a platform for a more sustainable Australia. Figure 2 Policies to build a more sustainable Australia Sustainable Australia: Society Sustainable Population Strategy Sustainable communities National Urban Policy Economy Environment Liveable cities Regional Policy Agenda Regional development A more sustainable Australia Population growth over the coming decades is expected to be concentrated in our major cities. The National Urban Policy complements the Australian Government s Sustainable Population Strategy. The National Urban Policy is a critical component of a Sustainable Australia framework. It applies the principles of the forthcoming Sustainable Population Strategy specifically to the urban context. In doing so, it translates the Strategy into tangible outcomes for cities, such as meeting future infrastructure needs through first achieving more efficient and effective use of existing infrastructure. Together, the National Urban Policy and the Sustainable Population Strategy will provide for an evidence-based approach to how the Australian Government can contribute to meeting current and future challenges, to ensure that Australia remains a prosperous, fair and environmentallysustainable society.
13 Introduction 11 The Australian Government is also putting in place a Regional Policy agenda to acknowledge regional diversity; to ensure place-based thinking; to empower communities to innovate and shape their own future; and to ensure a fair balance of investments and access to services for regional Australia. These are important investments in regional Australia. The Prime Minister will also begin a rigorous COAG process that asks State and Territory leaders to champion the development of Commonwealth-State reforms that are of particular relevance to their jurisdiction, whether it be labour mobility in the west or easing congestion in Sydney. This Government is funding projects across the country in every capital city to help ease congestion and the time spent in cars and traffic. Key components of our national transport infrastructure are located in our major cities which are both hubs of activity and gateways to international and domestic markets. The Australian Government, through Infrastructure Australia, has improved investment planning and project assessment and has developed the National Ports Strategy and a draft National Land Freight Strategy. These will inform the future investments and reform policies of the Australian Government, and can serve as a guide to the transport and logistics industry and for State and Territory Governments in the long term development of critical city infrastructure. In 2009, through the National Aviation Policy White Paper, the Australian Government committed to working with airport lease holders and other levels of government to achieve a more balanced airport planning framework. The Australian Government s commitment to improved integration between governments in aviation planning is demonstrated by the Australian Government and the New South Wales Government working collaboratively to examine the long term aviation needs of the Sydney region and on the long term planning of the Greater Sydney region. More recently, the Australian Government commenced a two year study for a possible high speed rail network along the east coast of Australia. This will provide the Government with a critical analysis of the issues which are involved in constructing a modern passenger rail connection between our three largest cities of Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. In addition, the National Broadband Network will have a significant impact on the connectivity and inclusiveness of our cities, as well as enhancing our relationships with the rest of the world. The Australian Government is undertaking significant reforms to the way infrastructure projects of national significance are planned, assessed, funded and regulated. Roles and responsibilities within cities Role of the Australian Government How the Australian Government plans and coordinates its activities has direct and indirect impact on our cities; from how the Australian Government works with State and Territory governments to fund infrastructure, through to how we structure our investment in health and education services. The Australian Constitution establishes that State and Territory governments have principal responsibility for the planning and management of cities. Nevertheless, since Federation, the Australian Government has had a substantial role in cities through: direct investment in housing and social and economic infrastructure and economic policy settings; property ownership; labour market regulation, immigration and taxation policies; and regulatory functions. In this way, over the years, the Australian Government has helped to shape our cities. This involvement has not always been based on clear principles and objectives. There has been strong support for the Australian Government to increase its involvement and leadership in cities. The National Urban Policy outlines how the Australian Government s future actions will be shaped to produce better outcomes for our cities.
14 12 Our Cities, Our Future A national Urban Policy Framework for a productive, sustainable and liveable future State, Territory and Local Governments Queensland s experience shows the importance of linking population, land use, transport and infrastructure planning. Our 20 year plan has given the civil construction industry a clear line on long-term infrastructure opportunities and given it the confidence to invest, to employ and to relocate whole workforces here. It s not hard to imagine how powerful this could be if replicated in a national context. These principles should underpin a national plan... Anna Bligh MP, Queensland Premier State, Territory and local governments are key players in shaping and managing our cities. These levels of government provide most of the facilities and services that maintain community wellbeing such as health, education, law and order. They invest in infrastructure, such as roads and railways, as well as investing in or regulating other utilities like power and water. Together, these levels of government have the primary responsibility for planning for urban growth and change and have the responsibility for statutory land use planning development approvals. To ensure infrastructure and services best meet the needs of communities, it is important that they are delivered by the closest level of government equipped for the task. This is the principle of subsidiarity. The Australian Government considers that its role complements, but should not duplicate, the roles played by other levels of government. Industry and the Community The private sector is a powerful shaper of cities. Through multiple individual decisions and investments, market forces have a strong impact on the economic, environmental and social fabric of our cities. Increasingly, the private sector is providing critical infrastructure in cities, such as power, gas, telecommunications and transport infrastructure, which was previously the domain of governments. Individuals and households, as consumers of goods and services, and as employees and citizens, interact with governments and businesses to influence how our cities are planned and operate. Continued engagement with the community and industry is essential for the successful planning and operation of our cities. The National Urban Policy will, in the broadest sense, seek to guide public and private investment to achieve optimal socio-economic and environmental outcomes in our cities. Darwin, NT
15 Introduction 13 What people value most about our cities Building upon research undertaken for the Australian Government by Auspoll on what aspects of cities our communities value the most, a significant national survey titled the My City: The People s Verdict was commissioned by the Property Council of Australia. Over 4,000 people were surveyed in all of Australia s capital cities. The findings provide a snapshot of what people value most in their cities. The survey looked at the importance residents place on particular attributes of a city; and the performance of their city on each of these attributes. Residents were asked to rank 17 attributes that make a city liveable, and in order of importance, they were as follows: It is safe for people and their property There are good healthcare services There are good employment and economic opportunities It is an affordable place to have a good standard of living The city is clean, well maintained and unpolluted There is a good public transport service There is a good road network and minimal traffic congestion There are good schools and other educational facilities There is a good range of quality affordable housing There is a wide range of recreational outdoor environments (like parks and playgrounds, cycle paths, beaches and countryside etc) There is a wide range of cultural entertainment options (like cafes, restaurants, markets, theatres, nightspots and sporting events The climate is good The natural environment is attractive There is a diverse range of people who get along well There are good approaches to environmental sustainability and climate change The look and design or the city (the buildings, streetscapes and cityscape) is attractive Nationally, our cities scored highly on recreational outdoor environments, natural environments, cultural entertainment, and school and education facilities. However, our cities rated poorly on roads and traffic congestion, public transport services, environmental sustainability and climate change, and providing quality affordable housing. The survey also found that most residents support increased Australian Government involvement in capital cities, particularly in terms of developing a population plan to manage growth and taking a greater role in planning and investment.
16 14 Our Cities, Our Future A national Urban Policy Framework for a productive, sustainable and liveable future Your Say outcomes of community consultations Through the Our Cities consultation process the Australian Government has received feedback from State, Territory and local governments, business and community groups, and many individuals. The National Urban Policy discussion paper, Our Cities building a productive, sustainable and liveable future, and background paper, Our Cities the challenge of change, were released for public consultation on 1 December A three-month consultation process was held, designed to coincide with the consultations on the Sustainable Population Strategy for Australia Issues Paper. More than 200 submissions and survey responses were received and approximately 400 State, Territory and local government, industry and community representatives attended consultation meetings across all 18 Australian major cities. A further 40 representatives of non-government organisations and urban researchers contributed to workshops. Feedback from survey responses, submissions, city consultations and stakeholder workshops has informed the development of the National Urban Policy. Many respondents also provided submissions to, or cross-referenced, the Sustainable Population Strategy. The main messages drawn from the consultation process were: there was broad agreement to the aspirations outlined in the Our Cities discussion paper; the Commonwealth has an important, but often poorly defined, role in the planning, development and management of cities; many current Commonwealth policies, investment programs and activities have a Sunshine Coast, QLD
17 Introduction 15 significant influence on how cities function and grow; a greater understanding of the spatial implications of Commonwealth and State activities in cities is required; a call for greater Commonwealth leadership in cities, but a strong assurance has been sought that the constitutional roles of States and Territories will be respected; the systems currently in place to manage cities are not adequate to meet the challenges of cities. Accordingly, cities need to be more proactively managed to meet their current and future challenges, including: accommodating future population growth through adequate planning and investment in social and economic infrastructure; securing the future prosperity of Australian cities by ensuring cities are globally competitive and can support Australia s economic growth; ensuring that cities can meet the needs of future generations by way of sustainable development and preserving and protecting the environment and natural resources; promoting healthy, equitable communities and lifestyles in cities and facilitating access to jobs and opportunities; and supporting governance frameworks which enable efficient and effective planning, management and investment in cities in order to give long-term certainty to investors and communities. there is a continuing need for greater coordination of activities within and between all tiers of government, including with the private sector.

No Labels has since been joined by two other bipartisan campaigns, both with prominent liberal supporters and both poised to damage Obama in 2012. One is the brainchild of Howard Schultz, the CEO of Starbucks, which, in a perhaps unintended bit of cultural synergy, is also the signature sponsor of Morning Joe. Schultz took a full-page ad in the Times this month to nationalize his crusade, first announced in a mass e-mail to his employees, for a moratorium on campaign contributions to protest irresponsibility among elected officials who have put partisan agendas before the people's agenda. Exactly which people he means isn't clearpresumably those who share his own largely Democratic orthodoxybut his scheme was promptly embraced by Times columnists (not Krugman!) and by No Labels, which recruited him for a national teleconference. Schultz boasts of being overwhelmed with support and of recruiting some 100 CEOs to sign his no-giving pledge. USA Today, digging deeper, discovered that most of those 100 executives had given less than $5,000 or nothing at all to politicians in recent years. Somewhere the Koch brothers, pouring millions into the tea-party coffers to further the agenda of their own people, are laughing at this decaffeinated exercise in unilateral political disarmament.
The other new bipartisan scheme is a web-based campaign, Americans Elect, promoted by Thomas L. Friedman, McKinnon, and Douglas Schoen, a Bill Clinton and Bloomberg pollster with a sideline of using Murdoch outlets to berate Obama for not sufficiently emulating Clinton and Bloomberg. Americans Elect has collected more than 1.8 million signatures to put a third-party presidential candidate on the ballot in six states (so far) next year. If there are any candidates on the organization's wish list, they are secret, as are some of its donorsthough Friedman has written that its swank offices were financed with some serious hedge-fund money. As he sees it, this patriotic start-up could do what Amazon.com did to books, what the blogosphere did to newspapers, what the iPod did to music by ending the two-party duopoly. And what would be Friedman's third-party platform? His domestic bullet points include a short-term stimulus, Simpson-Bowles deficit cuts, a gasoline tax for government-supported scientific research, and a carbon tax to finance new infrastructure and clean-power innovation. That's an agenda to delight attendees at the Aspen Ideas Festival, Morning Joe devotees, Bloomberg fanciers, and, for that matter, Barack Obama. It would draw only a fraction of those independent voters identified by Pew and no Republicans except for the one percent that likes Jon Huntsman, a No Labels high-five honoree whose presidential campaign, dedicated to bipartisan civility, is in a race to the bottom of the polls with Rick Santorum's.
If Americans Elect gains traction, virtually every vote it receives will be at the Democrats' expense. The Democrats, and Obama, may well deserve it. But does the country? We are at a genuine juncture that cannot be adjudicated over a Starbucks latte while easy-listening music soothes in the background. A radical movement controls one of the two parties. That party is so far right that when Ron Paul, now polling third among the GOP contenders, told a debate audience this month that 9/11 came about because there was too much government, not a single one of his opponents dared object. Like it or not, Obama is the sole alternative to this crowd in 2012.
In a best-case scenario for him, the GOP will spurn Perry for Romney. It's a given in Washington, of course, that Romney is the tougher opponent for Obama because he appeals to moderate and independent voters. The Beltway hands making this case are usually the same suspects who caution Obama to stick to the vital center. As Michael Gerson, the Bush 43 speechwriter turned columnist, put it last week, Romney is the GOP's safe choice because he represents the reassuring center.
Gerson argues that Romney's prospects are better than his current polling and likens him to Thomas Dewey without a hint of irony. A more accurate assessment comes from another conservative writer, Jonah Goldberg, who compares the inauthentic Romney to an alligator or a shark, animals that just seem fake when you see them in real life. Obama should only be so lucky as to run against a robotic leveraged-buyout tycoon whose Massachusetts health-care reforms resemble his own and whose religion vexes orthodox Christians in the GOP base.
For Obama to pull it out against a slick conservative populist like Perryor some yet-undeclared Perry alternative who could still emerge to usurp him among the tea-party troopshe cannot revert to his usual ways. Yet as recently as Labor Day, the White House was sending the message, as the Times reported, that it would rebrand the president as a pragmatic problem solver prepared to set aside ideology. Rebrand? That is the Obama brand. Surely someone at even this White House must recognize that it is in danger of being recalled by voters because the country's problems have not been solved.

I mistakenly installed malware/virus/worm by clicking on a .exe programme I thought was downloaded music. I realised what I had done immediately and started running scans. I would receive pop up messages with generic errors and my CPU would max out at 100% and I was unable to end the process causing it, the name of which now escapes me.
I was able to remove some things by booting into safemode and running Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, though I don't think this has removed it completely. One of the things I remember it found was something called Ainslot.a which it said was a worm.
Currently scans by Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and Microsoft Security Essentials are coming up clean. My CPU is no longer maxing out at 100%. There is a file in the root of my D drive called ntldr.exe. I've scanned it and it came up clean but I don't recall it being there previously.
I would be extremely grateful to receive some help and guidance from someone here. Thank you in advance.

There's always something to be excited about in the videogame industry, and nothing gets us fanboys going like an unannounced project with very few details. Today, Capcom decided to get those gossip mills going by announcing a partnership with UK-based Monumental Games, a company known for Football Superstars on the PC. The unannounced title is described in today's press release as a multiplatform game that will be published by Capcom "later this year." Over on Monumental's website, there aren't many more details, but there is a listing for an unannounced console project.
"We can't reveal the franchise as yet, but we can say we're both proud and excited to be working on it," reads the description. "As you would expect given our core technology, there's a substantial online element, but the gameplay focus is pure adrenalin."
We'll keep you posted as more information becomes available.

Obamacare and Involuntary Servitude
Tibor R. Machan
However much one learns to squirm out of one's inconsistencies, logic usually bites one in the butt. Of course, strictly speaking logic is the formal system that's supposed to guide our reasoning process and on its own doesn't serve much more than that vital, indispensable task. That is why it is usually studied in symbolic form--As and Bs or ps and qs. When one complains that someone is being illogical, it means that he or she isn't following the guidelines of logic.
In any case, the discussion of President Obama's federal policy requiring that everyone obtain health insurance has frequently focused on the fact that either an employer or individual would be forced to obtain private health insurance instead of, as Wikipedia points it out, "or in addition to the institution of a national health service of insurance". And many have suggested that this is a very unusual measure since it mandates specific performance from citizens, contrary to the legal tradition of the country. One may be forced to give up property but never to carry out a task, something that is reminiscent of slavery or involuntary servitude and thus directly in conflict with the idea of a free society.
It has been noted, now and then, that some laws do require specific performance despite all this, such as being forced to prepare tax returns, but this has been dismissed as rather trivial. However, there is a requirement imposed upon nearly every citizen, namely jury duty and complying with subpoenas--which often takes several days, even weeks from one's life and imposes specific conduct that one must perform. Is this not just like the individual mandate to obtain health insurance--to go out and purchase this service?
In America jury duty has been objected to mainly by libertarians who have a firm conviction that the right to liberty is a natural--and should be a constitutional--right. Thus to coerce someone to serve on a jury in opposition to what he or she chooses to do would be to subject the person to a form of--maybe not Draconian but still significant--involuntary servitude.
Thus, the argument goes, as a matter of consistency the USA is already awash with a type of compulsory individual mandate and those who complain that Obamacare is breaking with a powerful American principle and tradition are wrong. Or, put more precisely, there is strong precedence for doing this so Obamacare isn't something extraordinary in requiring specific performance from the citizenry.
There is a good case to be made to counter this, however. Both jury duty and complying with a subpoena do demand specific performance from American citizens, yes, but arguably in consequence of a voluntary commitment they have made in choosing to be citizens of the country. Both jury duty and complying with subpoenas are deemed as necessary for the pursuit of justice. And citizenship in a free country has exactly that as its central purpose, namely, to secure justice for everyone.
So if someone has witnessed a crime and is the only one who can provide testimony about it, refusing to do so is arguably going back on the free choice of a citizen of the country committed to securing justice for all. Refusal to serve on a jury might be so construed as well, although in that case the particular individual's compliance could well be dispensed with. One could obtain the service involved by hiring a fellow citizen to sit on the jury. This is no option in most cases that one is subpoenaed to testify about what one has witnessed.
In any case, when one performs jury duty or testifies in response to a subpoena, it could be construed as fulfilling a implied promise one has made by becoming or being a citizen of a country the legal system of which is committed to securing justice for all. And that is clearly not involved in the individual mandate that's part of Obamacare.
Obamacare would, in fact, set at least a federal precedent by compelling citizens to follow a mandate they haven't consented to follow, to submit to the demand for involuntary servitude!

From The Intercept:
An Israeli soldier was arrested on Thursday after a rights group published clear video images of him shooting a wounded, immobilized Palestinian suspect in the head following a knife attack in the West Bank city of Hebron earlier in the day.
The graphic, distressing video was posted online by B'Tselem, an Israeli group that provides cameras to Palestinians to help them document human rights abuses in the West Bank territory that has been under military rule since Israel first occupied it in 1967.
As the Israeli newspaper Haaretz reports, the video was recorded just after another soldier was stabbed and moderately wounded at a checkpoint in the Tel Rumeida area of Hebron's Old City, and two Palestinian suspects were killed, including the one who was shot in the video.
Video was recorded just after another soldier was stabbed and moderately wounded at a checkpoint in the Tel Rumeida area of Hebron's Old City
According to Ma'an News Agency in Bethlehem, the dead men were identified by the Palestinian health ministry as Ramzi Aziz al-Qasrawi, 21, and Abed al-Fattah Yusri al-Sharif, 21.
In a statement accompanying the video, B'Tselem explains that the video recorded by 'Emad abu-Shamsiyah, a Hebron resident, shows al-Sharif lying on the road injured, with none of the soldiers or medics present giving him first aid or paying him any attention at all."
About 18 seconds into the clip, al-Sharif can be seen clearly moving his head as he lies sprawled on his back. 90 seconds later, an Israeli soldier cocks his rifle, steps forward and fires a single shot at the wounded man from point-blank range. Moments later, a clear trail of blood can be seen streaming from the man's head across the pavement.
Several Palestinian and Israeli observers were struck by the fact that no one around the soldier who fired the shot seemed to treat the incident as unusual — suggesting that such extrajudicial killings of suspected attackers have now become "routine," as critics have charged.

Though the company is still coy with details, developer ArenaNet today announced Guild Wars Nightfall, the latest campaign for the fantasy MMORPG universe. Like the previous campaign, Factions, the new content sports its own look (in this case a North African theme, from what we saw at E3) along with new lands, professions, adventures, and tournament events.
Guild Wars Nightfall introduces two new professions: the Dervish, a holy warrior armed with a scythe; and the Paragon, guardian angel of the Elonian people. Like Factions, Nightfall can act either as a stand-alone title or as an add-on to either the original Guild Wars or Guild Wars Factions (or both). Players can begin with new Nightfall characters or take earlier characters into the new campaign.
To give Guild Wars players a taste of Nightfall, which is now entering beta, ArenaNet is hosting a PVP preview event from Friday, July 28 to Sunday, July 30. The event will let players try the new professions and arenas, as well as compete for items which can be exchanged for dandy rewards.
Guild Wars Nightfall is currently scheduled to ship before the end of the year.

Written statement to Parliament
Underground drilling access: consultation
Written Ministerial Statement by Michael Fallon on the Underground drilling access consultation published on 23 May 2014.
The government published a consultation on proposals to reform the procedure for securing underground access to oil or gas deposits and geothermal energy on the 23 May. This consultation will run for 12 weeks and close on 15 August.
This consultation concerns two fledgling industries, shale gas and geothermal energy, which may hold significant potential for adding to the UK's domestic energy resources. Whilst these industries are both at an early stage, the Government is considering whether the existing legislative framework is fit for purpose to enable them to determine this potential.
The consultation examines the existing procedures by which companies who wish to extract oil, gas or geothermal energy obtain access rights to underground land, and the problems raised by these procedures. We believe that, so far as underground development goes, the existing system does not strike the right balance between the legitimate interests and concerns of landowners, and the benefits to the community and nation at large of permitting development, where that development is otherwise acceptable in planning and environmental terms.
The consultation also sets out the options that have been considered during this process. The preferred solution presented consists of three elements: an underground right of access below 300m (nearly 1000ft), a voluntary payment from industry, and a voluntary public notification for access. The voluntary industry agreement would be supported by a statutory reserve power in the case that industry defaulted on their commitment. Notification would be made in the form of public announcements to the local community. This solution would significantly simplify the existing procedure. The shale and geothermal industries will be able to proceed with developing their potential, and local communities will be appropriately informed and compensated for this right of access.
The solution outlined in the consultation does not change any other aspect of the existing regulatory system, such as procedures for surface access, planning / environmental permits or safety controls. In particular, the proposals do not affect existing requirements for public consultation prior to the grant of planning permission or environmental permits of developments.
The government is inviting feedback on the solution outlined in this consultation, and would welcome views from anyone with an interest.
The consultation can be viewed on the Underground drilling access consultation web page.
Copies of the publication have been placed in the Libraries of the House.

Jeremiah 48 The Voice (VOICE)
48 This is what the Eternal, Commander of heavenly armies and God of Israel, has to say about Moab.
Next is Moab, a familiar enemy of Israel. Despite Jeremiah's warning they will answer for their trust in themselves, their material wealth, and their god Chemosh.
Eternal One: Woe to the city of Nebo, for she is in ruins.
10 A curse on any who do not finish the work I, the Eternal One, have given you! A curse on anyone who holds back his sword and refuses to shed blood.
11 Moab has been at rest since his early days—
12 But all of that will change. Look, in the coming days, I, the Eternal One, declare that I will send those who will upend him, stirring him up and pouring him out until his jars have nothing left. They will empty his jars and smash the empty jugs.
13 Then Moab will be ashamed of his powerless god, Chemosh, just as the people of Israel were ashamed of Bethel when they trusted in their false gods.
14 Eternal One: How can you still boast,
21 Judgment has come to the cities of the plain: to Holon, Jahzah and Mephaath; 22 to Dibon, Nebo, and Beth-diblathaim; 23 to Kiriathaim, Beth-gamul, and Beth-meon; 24 to Kerioth and Bozrah. To all the cities of Moab, far and near, judgment has come.
Eternal One: 25 The symbols of his strength are gone; the horn of Moab has been cut off, and his arm broken.
26 Make Moab drink deeply from this cup until he is drunk, for he has exalted himself above the Eternal. Make him drink until he wallows in his own vomit; then he will be ridiculed by all who see him. 27 Did you not ridicule Israel? Was he guilty of a crime? Was he caught among thieves? Is that why you, Moab, shake your head in contempt every time you speak of him?
28 Eternal One: Run from your towns and live in the wilderness,
34 The anguish of their cries rises from Heshbon to Elealeh and Jahaz, from Zoar all the way to Horonaim and Eglath-shelishiyah; for even the waters of Nimrim will dry up.
Eternal One: 35 I will put an end to idol worship in Moab, to those who make offerings on shrines in high places and burn incense to so-called gods.
36 Like the somber sound of a flute, my heart mourns for Moab. My heart mourns for the men of Kir-heres, for everything they had is gone.
37 For every head is shaved, and every beard is cut short;
38 Eternal One: On every rooftop in Moab and on every street corner,
39 How broken he is! How the people wail!
40 Eternal One: Look in the distance: an eagle will swoop down
42 The nation of Moab will be no more
44 Eternal One: If you run from the terror, you will fall into a pit.
45 Run if you will, but in Heshbon's shadow the refugees are helpless.
This is the end of Jeremiah's oracle of judgment against Moab.
