As exemplified in the stimulus, an appreciation of the Australian dollar, however, can have adverse effects on volumes of imports and international competitiveness. For this, there is a possibility of some industries to struggle. It is important to be able to measure the value of the Australian dollar for many reasons, that range from being able to make an informed business decision or, propose government initiatives and stances. A useful way of measuring the value of the AUD is through using the trade weighted index. The trade weighted index is a weighted average of a basket of currencies that reflects the importance of the sum of Australia's exports and imports of goods by country.
This was one reason that went against federation being brought around. An aim that Federation had was that it wanted Australia free from ‘coloured races’. Instead of white workers Queensland cane farmers favoured Pacific Islanders because the Islanders were paid less. These farmers were afraid that federation would mean the end of cheap
For example, even though individuals may want to be defined by their own individual actions, they tend to be defined by the actions of those who conform to group identities. Internationally, Australians tend to be defined by Boganism because Bogan’s are among the few people who want to define themselves as Australian. Just as a molehill is a king on a flat landscape, in the absence of alternative Australian identities, the Bogan’s have a monopoly on what it means to be an Australian. In short, social policy has been written on the basis that the Australian identity exists and Bogan’s simply filled the empty void. They might only comprise 10% of the population, but they perhaps comprise 90% of the imagery used to describe the Australian stereotype.
It is a day where the citizens of Australia come together as a nation and celebrate the positives of Australia as a country and being an Australian, and also to reflect on what Australia has achieved as a country and how we can make it a better place. Although there has been a lot of controversy with the date of Australia day as Australia day is seen racist to the ingeniousness people. They see it as January 26th was the day they lost their land, and their
Australia's identity is said to piggy-back off the English and Americans, the key countries that influence Australia. In the article "Australian identity: who the bloody hell are we?" it is written that "It’s a case of stealing someone's heritage and pasting in your own; except not everyone knows the Australian version yet." The article expresses the struggle for Australia to generate its own unique identity. This problem with this is that fact that Australia does not have the Revolutions of France and America, neither the rich history of the Spanish or Chinese, Australia is too young.
After all, genocide was already forbidden under customary international law at the time that the Aboriginals Ordinance was enacted. The court, however, found difficulty here as well, this time based on problems inherent in the definition of genocide as a crime. According to the court, the transfer that the Aboriginals Ordinance authorized lacked the requisite mental element of "intent to destroy" the children's racial or ethnic group. Rather, the court held that the forcible transfers authorized by the Ordinance were intended "for the good and welfare" of the aboriginal population. The court based this interpretation on the conditions that prevailed at the time of the Ordinance's passage.
The two main governmental departments responsible for defence are; The Department of Defence and The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT). The Department of Defence makes the majority of decisions about Australia’s security. Its primary focus is to protect and advance Australia’s strategic interests. The DFAT’s role is to advance Australia’s national interest. This involves working to reinforce Australia’s security and enhance Australia’s prosperity.
‘Australia does not need a Bill of Rights, whether constitutionally entrenched or by ordinary statute. Such a Bill would reduce parliamentary sovereignty, politicise the judiciary, increase the costs of the legal system, complicate human rights protections and constitutional arrangements and encourage trivial and vexatious complaints. Moreover, there is no convincing evidence that such a Bill would significantly enhance Australia’s human rights protection given Australia’s good record on human rights protection, particularly when compared internationally and given Australia’s commitment to parliamentary democracy.’ Regrettably many of the premises in this argument, however sound they may seem, do not hold up when examined. Australia has been regrettably seen as a wolf in sheep’s clothing when it comes to the issues of human rights On one hand it championed and was given responsibility in 1948 to the drafting of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and has since been a leading member of the UN in adopting their Treaties. However the most recent period since September 11 2001, legislative and executive practice, has seen the erosion of human rights in Australia.

Globalization, force for good? “Overall, globalization is a force for good in the world.” In this essay I will be discussing whether globalization has improved our world or downgraded it. At this moment the nations of the world have a high level of independence, globalization has contributed to enriching countries, it provided opportunities to enrich countries. It impacted on markets and services in a positive way considering they have grown and are still growing. Not only have countries been given the opportunity to exploit their comparative advantages but they can also change their comparative advantages using technology, this gives them the chance to move up the value chain, which improves the living standards of people in poverty and increases their income.
