At what point is a discussion a debate, and at what point is it undue pressure? Is all unwanted pressure a kind of manipulation and violence? In this work of philosophical short story fiction, the narrator is invited by his father to go duck hunting as part of their bonding time. The narrator wants to spend time with his father, but expresses ethical concerns about hunting ducks. The father asserts hunting is a natural part of human evolution. The debate continues as the narrator decides to go on the hunt, but is undecided if he will pull the trigger. The story ends with father and son in the blind just at the moment before the narrator must decide if he is going to pull the trigger.

Industrial tribunals in Australia have an important arbitral role. The integrity in the carriage of the role is founded on the precept of independence from undue pressure from external forces This paper suggests that actions by executive arms of government in Australia in recent years attacked that independence and that this has serious ramifications. Some of these actions have been overt. The attack on the Australian Industrial Relations Commission after its 1991 national wage decision is one example. Other actions, despite being more fundamental to the principle of independence, have gone largely unremarked. The focus in this paper is on some of these and the implications for a democratic society.

Significance Urzua’s abrupt departure is the most high-profile that AMLO has experienced in his seven months in office. Impacts The peso will be volatile for some time but a tight monetary policy should avert any long-term depreciation due to Urzua’s resignation. His resignation deprives the government of an individual trusted by the markets to contain the government’s most statist members. Herrera is known to favour lower interest rates, but there is no expectation that he will put undue pressure on the Bank of Mexico.

Automatic enrolment (AE) into a workplace pension is an important recent development in pension policy. An important question for this policy is why do people opt-out or not opt-out of AE? This question is important for understanding the power of suggestion associated with AE as well as responding to concerns that women might face undue pressure to opt-out. This article addresses this question through a focus group study into the United Kingdom’s new AE policy. Women were more likely than men to cite lack of affordability as a reason for opting out. Lack of information also seemed important for the power of suggestion associated with AE. Further research should explore how to make AE less gender blind as well as the types of information or advice that should be provided alongside AE.
