A group of ethnically diverse people who were eliminated and isolated by people of their own country, labelling them as an outcast.He emphasizes on the injustice served towards the indigenous people that who have suffered and also those who are still suffering in Australia. This issue which…
Rabbit Proof Fence, directed by Phillip Noyce, highlights issues that continue to challenge modern Australia. The movie is set in 1931 in Western Australia where half-caste children were forcibly removed from their families by white Australian government authorities. This drastic action was supposedly in the best interest of half-caste children but it became clear that the government had ulterior motives. Aborigines and half-castes were considered to be inferior to white people. They were taken…
Assimilating the Natives in the U.S. and Australia The reading Assimilating the Natives in the U.S. and Australia written by Gary Foley in June 2000 interrogates, from an indigenous perspective, the suggestion that Assimilation means different things to Australian and United States governments. In Order to do so Foley examines colonial origins, notions of race and white supremacist mythology. Foley looks at how each of these perceptions resulted in the treatment of indigenous people and draws…
My essay will be about nation-building in Australia. I have chosen the holiday Anzac Day and the infamous outlaw Ned Kelly.

The day allows for Australians to come together and celebrate as a…

current Australian flag. Australia has become a strong, multicultural nation under our current flag, therefore changing our flag wouldn’t necessarily show a better reflection of Australia’s modern identity. Australia’s flag has significance in many events that shaped Australia and is already an internationally known heraldry. Changing the flag will cost the nation greatly in many ways. To ensure a successful future for Australia our flag should remain the same. If Australia has formed the…

English colonisation of Australia was problematic due to the British lack of acknowledgement of indigenous people’s proprietorship of the land for thousands of years. When English settlers colonised Australia, their actions suggested the land was terra nullius; a legal doctrine claiming land to be ‘occupied by no one’ (Bailey, 1997). Under this principle the British government colonised Australia establishing British sovereignty and imposing their laws to govern the land under the Crown…
settlers arrived in Australia 35,000 years ago during the great ice age. The sea levels lowered between Indonesia and New Guinea and created a land bridge that would allow nomadic tribes to cross from Southeast Asia.
