He paused over the study project: "I would like," he wrote finally, "to study the effect of the fear of Asian immigration on Australian poetry of the twentieth century. There has been no satisfactory work yet done in this field." He wrote his project twice, each time with a carbon copy and then spent an hour composing a Curriculum Vitae.

Ranged against any immediate fare cut were some of the small national flag airlines, which are government-owned and heavily subsidized; they operate at a loss already and fear that lower rates would only push them farther into the red.
