Australia

arguments in favour of privatisation are weak, I distinguish two distinct types of government enterprises - those operating in a competitive environment and those which are natural monopolies. I argue that there is little contemporary support in Australia for the privatisation of natural monopolies. If a government enterprise operating in a competitive market can be sold at the right price, however, and the sale accords with public opinion, then overall utility is enhanced and an indisputable…

Environmental justice. Australia is one of the most secluded continents and when we think of it, it is seen as an oasis. Although, up until recently, Australia had no concerns for their underprivileged communities of indigenous people. Through informing the communities, supporting, empowering and advocating for Indigenous communities,…

allow me to get a good depth of understanding and knowledge on the subject. My second Idea was jut focusing on how the internment camps in Australia affected the internees mental health.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have occupied this land for over 60,000 years this making their culture the oldest living race on earth. Throughout the years Indigenous communities within Australia have faced many key events that have affected their lives since European colonisation in 1778. (Timeline)??? Prior to colonisation there were approximately 700 different Aboriginal nations, that contained different communities across the continent. Although many different cultures and…

This policy was significant for Aboriginal rights as it was the first stepping stone into the recognition of all Aborigines living in Australia. The government’s intention of this policy was to encourage all Aborigines to maintain their traditional cultures whilst still becoming part of the wider Australian community.

what’s it’s like being an Australian. The first poem is an incredible poem written perfectly and changes the way you see an Australian after you read it. It is so perfect because of its way it uses alliteration and rhythm. Why we don’t celebrate Australia day is the name of this poem and it Cleary sends a message to Australians that remember a time of pain, killing and death. As he shows us that…

Land is fundamental to the wellbeing of Aboriginal people. The land isn’t just soil or rocks or minerals, but a whole environment that sustains and is sustained by Aboriginal people and their culture. For Indigenous Australians, the land is the core of all spirituality and this relationship and the spirit of 'country' (land) is central to the issues that are important to Indigenous people today. Aboriginals are very attached to the land they live on, because they believe that their ancestors…

The native Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of Australia had, since western settlement in 1788, been dispossessed of their natural freedoms and rights. Centuries later, by 1954, the law still discriminated against the indigenous, inhibiting their civil liberties; however, many improvements have occurred which substantially bettered the standards of life as present. Originally, Aborigines were considered savages and fell under the Flora and Fauna Act, but through the reconciliation…

City of Wyndham was a place of much significance to the local Aboriginal people and that we should respect the first Australians of this land. Many native people around the world have been known to undergo a pattern of mistreatment and oppression, Australia is not exempt from this. There have been a few improvements over the years, as many have tried to restore the implications made in the past, however there are still indigenous people suffering. Through the following of this presentation, the…

Racism in sport in Australia has a long history as stated by the Australian Human Rights Commission (AHRC)[1]. Race Relationships within the Australian Football community have proven the significance of acceptance and equality over recent times. The AFL have proven that the indigenous race within the Australian football community suffer from a disadvantage as they present absent from management roles within the sport and often are the victim of racism and stereotypical facts. A disturbing…
