Big Brother Australia

Germany’s track record is 100 submarines exported since WW2. France has exported 20. The Germans and the French are easier with the idea of total transfer of intellectual property than the Japanese. It is a must that the submarines are built in Australia and that they can be maintained here. To build in another country, and have to send our subs there for maintenance, is to put ourselves at the mercy of that country’s industrial base and its continuing goodwill--aside from the other strong…

Neotectonics in Australia. Abstract The cratons of the world that are located at a distance from plate boundaries are considered to be stable tectonically, but in real sense, they are subjected to regular disturbance that are less persistence and also of lesser magnitude than those that lies near plate boundaries, Nonetheless their manifestation can be seen in landscape.

thought of Aboriginal people at first. I recalled a friend’s excitement about his first holiday last year down under where his only perception about the Aboriginal people is the boomerang bought from a souvenir shop in Melbourne. Before coming to Australia, my impression about them was limited to black curly hair people living in the outback, boomerang, didgeridoo, traditional dance typically portrayed in tourism brochures. I hardly knew that these are merely some of stereotypes about the oldest…

Our great nation, Australia, is a land of freedom and opportunity, where almost everyone is treated equally. There is always that disadvantaged few, who go through life the hard way, and suffer more than others. Australia may be a great country, but it is not perfect. There are still many aspects of our nation that can be improved and changed, and therefore, if l had the ability to change one thing about Australia, I would make sure that more efficient and rapid types of transportation become…

It is ironic, isn’t it, that as a nation made up almost entirely of immigrants, few being full Native American, some American residents still harbor fear of refugees entering our country. Illustrating such facts, the fleeing of Syrian refugees and immigrants traveling aborad has been the topic of discussion for quite some time now, with varying opinions on the matter regarding our nation’s borders. In such circumstances, I’ve often questioned why we, as Americans, hold refugees accountable for…

Current issue in the Great Barrier Reef Great Barrier Reef (GBR) has been in the centre of topic for environmentalist for the past decades as it is the biggest and longest natural coral reef in the world. With thousands of exotic aquaculture species that are exclusive to that region only, it has become one of the heritage national marine parks in the world.

Jack Donnelly would grant Fauziya Kissindja political asylum in the United States based on the definition of a refugee. A refugee is “any person who has a well-founded fear of persecution for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of particular social and political group...unable or, owing to such fear is unwilling to return to it” (Fullerton, 2006, p. 138). Donnelly’s reasoning would revolve around Kissindja’s well-founded fear of persecution by a social group, not on the sole basis…
