Trials were carried out against Bennett's wallabies (Macropus rufogriseus rufogriseus) and tammar wallabies (M. eugenii) in areas of indigenous forest where browsing is preventing or damaging regeneration. Compound 1080 (sodium monofluoroacetate) in a carbopol gel was spread on the foliage of palatable plants. Numbers of Bennett's wallabies were reduced by 91% and tammar wallabies by 87%. These kill estimates compare favourably with those achieved using aerially sown baits. The costs per hectare of gel poisoning were estimated to be as little as 40% of those for aerial baiting, but the costs of using gel will increase as the control areas become larger, more rugged, and less easily traversed on foot.

Does sterling's link with the deutschmark provide a substitute for monetary control? Peter Warburton of Shearson Lehman reverses the usual argument and claims that exchange rate stability with the deutschmark depends on adequate control of monetary growth.

Economic argument has never been able to justify convincingly the state provision of pensions, and now the increase in wealth throughout the population has made government provision increasingly redundant. PeterWar‐burton, of the stockbrokers L Messel & Company, presents the arguments for fundamental reform into the market of a paternalist and outmoded institution.

S'inspirant de l'approche d'Ozga et Lawn (1981) au sujet du personnel enseignant britannique, cet article étudie le comportement des enseignant(es) des écoles publiques en Colombie britannique comme employé(es) dependant de l'état. Il présente une vue d'ensemble historique de leur avance vers le syndicalisme, de la hausse des salaires, de l'améloriation des conditions de travail, des plans de pension, de l'autonomie professionnelle, etc. Le professionnalisme les a aidés à améliorer leur bien‐être et leur niveau de qualifications, à s'impliquer dans leur service et à s'assurer une représentation sur des comités divers, au ministère provincial de l'éducation. Cependant, ces enseignant(es) n'ont pas de contrôle sur le curriculum, leur entrée dans l'enseignement et sur le choix des élèves. Ce groupe, comme tant d'autres, doit faire face à une lutte constante, surtout durant les périodes de recul économique.Following the approach of Ozga and Lawn (1981) on British teachers, this paper examines the class relations of public school teachers in British Columbia as dependent state employees. It presents a historical overview of their pursuit of higher salaries, unionization, better working conditions, pensions, professional autonomy etc. Professionalism helped to improve their economic well‐being, their commitment to service and their qualifications, and to secure representation on various committees of the provincial Education Department. But teachers do not control the curriculum, entrance into teaching or whom they must teach. They are faced, like other workers, with constant struggle, particularly during economic recessions.
