When compared to traditional incandescent light bulbs like incandescent and fluorescent lights, light-emitting diode (LED) lighting products are about 90% more efficient at producing light.

Key Points: 
  • When compared to traditional incandescent light bulbs like incandescent and fluorescent lights, light-emitting diode (LED) lighting products are about 90% more efficient at producing light.
  • By 2025, global sales of LED lighting fixtures and bulbs must reach 100%, to meet the target of net-zero emissions by 2050.
  • This is anticipated to hasten the implementation of LED lighting technology throughout the ensuing years, serving as one of the primary growth drivers for the LED lighting market.
  • The lack of knowledge about installation and the expensive cost of light-emitting diode (LED) lighting in many emerging economies are the main obstacles limiting the spread of LED lighting.

From 'technicolour yawn' to 'draining the dragon': how Barry Humphries breathed new life into Australian slang

Barry Humphries breathed life into Australia’s “slanguage” – but it was often an imagined life.

Key Points: 
  • Barry Humphries breathed life into Australia’s “slanguage” – but it was often an imagined life.
  • Humphries took linguistic invention to extremes – plucking words and phrases out of obscurity, but also pushing or exceeding acceptability.

“Slangy philosophers” in Australian history

    • During a great period of Australian myth-making (1890-1925), newspapers and magazines such as the Argus, Australian Tit-Bits and the Bulletin enabled the public to write letters or stories and debate one another.
    • Readers aggressively debated Australian word etymologies - and the degree to which these words were or were not Australian.
    • For instance, a Bulletin writer by the name of “Blue Duck” dismissed the emerging Australian slang, writing, “Much Australian slang is simply cockney flash, introduced every mailboat by stewards”.
    • Many aspects of the Australian lexicon first emerge in Britain, or in the imaginations of our middle-class citizens or artists.

Humphries and the lexicon of New Nationalism

    • Barry Humphries’s Bazza McKenzie character emerged during Australia’s New Nationalism in the 1960s/1970s.
    • In linguistic terms, this was an era of growing colloquiality in Australian English.
    • Humphries noted that
      words like cobber and bonzer still intrude as a sop to Pommy readers, though such words are seldom, if ever, used in present-day Australia.

Bazza, taboo and the Australian lexicon

    • Of course, Humphries – especially through Bazza McKenzie – didn’t just breath fresh life into old Australian words, but coined many of his own.
    • Slang generally flourishes wherever things go bump in the night, and Humphries had in his sights Victorian taboos around body parts and bodily effluvia.
    • He was also a master of the frankenphrase – pulling together bits and pieces of the Australian lexicon, and reinventing them.

Beer-swilling Bazza and our slang from ‘Down Under’

    • The verses were very much inspired by a character he had called Barry McKenzie, who was a beer-swilling Australian who travelled to England, a very larger-than-life character.
    • He’s a master of comedy and he had a lot of expressions that we grew up listening to and emulating.
    • To survive, slang expressions require what Ben Zimmer once described as a “perfect lexicographical storm”.
