India's population growth

India has over 1.2 billion people and it is exponentially growing. Unlike China, India is the worlds biggest democracy and has made no attempt at curbing its growth with a one (1) child policy. So, what will happen to a much bigger India with projections of about 1.9 billion in twenty five years, and its resources are already depleted. India will either have to spread its resources more widely amongst its population or face increased polarity between the wealthy and the poor. In essence, India's classes will all grow in number, however they will likely remain as equal fractions. The biggest issue will be food and water, the quality and consumption per head will more likely reduce or be imported from surrounding countries to replenish the gap.

Liability of Airlines for recklessness

Qantas Ltd as an example has had a string of commercial accidents since it was floated on to the market in 1997. In the scenario that an airline suffers fatalities (deaths), which are attributed to by its maintenance, could the airline itself and its Directors be criminally liable under the Commonwealth Criminal Code.

In the scenario that an airline suffers a casualty the company and the Board of Directors could be criminally liable for cutting maintenance, so long as it was sufficiently connected to the fatalities. In this case the Court is empowered to make a finding of recklessness and order a fine on the company and prosecute the Directors individually. Under the Commonwealth Criminal Code at 5.4 (1)(a) a finding of recklessness will be made in the situation where a Director is aware of a substantial risk of death or injury and that the circumstances exist and that it was unjustifiable to take the risk, and the company takes the risk anyway.
