Australia is the smallest continent. Most people these days’ associate Kangaroos, and the pop artist, Iggy Azealia to the country.

In order for the employees to enter or leave the Magic Kingdom, they have to get brought in by a company authorized bus, unless you are one of the very few that has been granted gate access.

public. After providing evidence that the economic 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…

(2013) Consequently, in the year of 1938, the Day of Mourning protest attracted a large group of Aboriginal Australians in Sydney, marking the monumental 150 years since the Europeans settled in Australia.

To be specific, the colonial history shows a typical example of institutional racism, a discriminatory limitation against ethnic groups via laws, practices, and policies (Hampton & Toombs, 2013, p. 30).

song I am Australia, which encourages diversity acceptance by inviting people to affirm, along with the many, their national Australian identity (Lawrence, Brooker, and Goodnow, 2012, P. 74). The cultural diversity of Australia’s population is on the rise. In 2015, the Australian bureau of statistics (2016) confirmed Australia’s cultural stance by identifying that an estimated 28 per cent of Australia’s occupants were born overseas.
