Government of Australia

When the British decided to migrate to Australia they had a precise idea that no one had taken ownership on the land that they had settled on and therefore declared the land Terra Nullius which means that the land did not belong to anyone. But in fact it did and there were already people who had claimed ownership of the land and were already living and breeding, through there own culture and ways on the estate, they were the aboriginal people. One of the major issues regarding Terra Nullius came…

Assimilation in Australia had a significant impact on the Indigenous population for many generations, therefore, becoming a turning point in the history of Australia. And although the Australian Government presumed that through assimilation, Indigenous people would enjoy and encounter the same standards of living as the white European population, once they had adopted European customs, this was not the case for many Indigenous people who are known as the stolen generation. Regardless of…

Government plans to relocate refugees have continued to move ahead this week as immigration minister Scott Morrison has travelled to Cambodia to sign a memorandum of understanding which would allow refugees in detention on Nauru to settle Cambodia. The government has also begun to push for the reintroduction of temporary protection visas along with new 'safe haven enterprise visas'. This legislation would see around 30,000 refugees currently living in the Australian community outside of…

Australia is considered one of the safest countries in the world. If this is so, why is our nation denying refugee’s access to come here when they are in desperate need for a safe haven? We pride ourselves on accepting all cultures and nations, helping them out as much as we can. But when it comes to asylum seekers, we become so ignorant about the topic that the majority of us show no empathy towards them. This is exemplified by current programs Australia has implemented which help with the…

The country of Australia was built on racism. This land was taken and those who first came here, such as Matthew Flinders and James Cook. They took the land away from the indigenous people of Australia and killed them off with no remorse. They looked at them as if they weren’t even human, as if they weren’t even worth keeping alive, and yet those same very people end up being revolutionary names in Australian History and even having universities named after them. Even after the complete…

genocide was committed in Australia during the 19th and 20th centuries. A genocide is defined as the mass extinction of a whole group of people; an attempt to destroy an entire population and wipe them out of existence. Although there were no mass murders at the time, the actions taken against the aboriginals classify it as a genocide. Aboriginals were kidnapped, forced to abandon their culture and laws were passed forbidding them from procreating; in an attempt…

On the 27th of May in the year 1967 the federal government, who at the time was Harold Holt called a federal referendum to be put in place. The Holt government had an amendment to be approved relating to the only two discriminatory laws included in the Australian constitution.

people of australia still feel today while acknowledging the praiseworthy efforts to make change. Despite the poor history of the australian law it is ever revolutionising and we should not disregard its value in its current state.

in Australia that we need to wake up to: the crime of various types committed by refugees have been increasing at an alarming rate where about 20 cases of sexual assault occur every single day. Most refugees are not self-sufficient and have low levels of education, as such this forces the Australian government to spend tremendous amounts of money on medicare, tens of millions in funding on education and at the same time, our human resources are diminished. We are clearly…
