During the 1990s, the Tasmanian poppy industry: 

1. Expanded from producing roughly 25% of the world’s licit opium supply to 50%, overtaking India and Turkey to become the world’s leading licit opium producer; and
2. In collaboration with Johnson & Johnson, developed a new poppy variety called the Norman Poppy. The Norman was the first poppy with essentially no morphine and high levels of the compound thebaine. Thebaine is used to produce oxycodone (a painkiller), naloxone (used to treat overdoses), and buprenorphine (used to treat opioid dependence). 

By the end of the decade, Tasmania accounted for up to 80% of global licit thebaine production. Johnson & Johnson was the main supplier to Purdue Pharma.

Under a professional services model of teaching, teachers work for teaching firms or as sole practitioners, rather than being employed directly by schools or governments.

Like other professional services such as law, accounting or consulting firms, teaching firms may:

• employ teachers;
• specialise by subject or service;
• serve multiple clients; and
• bill hourly, retainer or fixed fees.

Schools, governments, families and other clients could contract with teachers and teacher firms for educational services.
