Its predecessor, AS/NZS 4360 Risk management, was first published in 1995. After AS/NZS 4360 was last revised in 2004, the joint Australia/New Zealand committee OB-007 decided that rather than undertake a similar revision in 2009, it would promote the development of an international standard on risk management, which could then be adopted locally. How will this standard help my business? The standard provides organisations with guiding principles, a generic framework, and a process for managing risk. New to this edition is the inclusion of 11 risk management principles an organisation should comply with, and a management framework for the effective implementation and integration of these principles into an organisation's management system.
One difference that Australia has against the US is that it is under “The Commonwealth” whereas the US is not; this usually means quite differential laws and rights. The Australian Constitution is similar in a way to the US Constitution as it also has a form of amendments, classed as ‘Articles’ and written as chapters. The purpose of the articles is also uniquely different to the US ten amendments. One item, mentioned in the Australian Constitution that states equality and fairness of finance and trade in all Australian States is no.99 of Chapter IV (Finance and Trade); “The Commonwealth shall not, by any law or regulation of trade, commerce, or revenue, give preference to one State or any part thereof over another State or any part thereof” (Parliament of Australia, 2012). Equality of a country’s states should be a legitimate law in all countries, however not all countries have this.
However, the document does bring to the forefront a strong argument for the need to nationalise the Australian curriculum. In my opinion, I believe an additional educational goal would be for Australia to move toward a national and centralised education system. The challenge presented to the educational goals as they stand, is the framework by which the Australian education system is built upon. The decentralisation or state and territory-based curriculum that currently exists in Australia is a barrier to achieving the educational goals set out in the National Declaration. I believe the establishment of a national curriculum is crucial to achieving the educational goals set out by MCEETYA.
Because of this issue, Ozdowski wrote an article arguing why we need Bill of Rights. In this essay, I will seek to argue that Australia needs a Bill of Rights with reference to Ozdowski’s article. Firstly, I will critically examine the claims Ozdowski has made. Secondly, I will argue the rights of gay marriage should not only be decided by the judges. The case studies of “Guantanamo Bay” and “Indigenous Australians” will be used to explore the importance of having Bill of Rights in Australia.
