    Having a national identity is a way for all countries to show a sense of cohesiveness, as represented by distinctive traditions, values, and forms of behaviour. It can be seen as a character which binds the members of the society as one and differentiates them with others. As Benedict Anderson suggests, a nation itself is not given but rather constructed, by the style and ties in which the communities imagined, making them believe they are connected to one another. Australia, with its Aboriginal heritage and the past of being a part of Britain and is now labelled as multicultural, may have suffered from an identity crisis. Hence, by examining the myth of Terra Nullius and the Indigenous’ continuing struggles for land right recognition, this…

    The rich biodiversity of the Great Barrier Reef is maintained by the implementation of zones as shown in the diagram. Areas of the reef that are vulnerable to human induced stress are termed as preservation zones where human activities are excluded. Intragenerational equity is evident through the acknowledgement of the indigenous people who occupied the land for over 60, 000 years.

The preservation and scientific research zones demonstrate a precautionary approach to the management of the Great Barrier Reef as we still do not know enough about ecosystems such as the Great Barrier Reef to utilise it in a way that reduces its functioning.…
