To Australia, this treaty was to combat communism alongside the US. In 1950, Robert Menzies introduced the Communist Party Dissolution Bill when the Communist Party Australia (CPA) received financial support from the Communist International and started to have influence on trade unions and the Australian Labor Party. This Bill would make the party illegal and communists would have little threat against Australia. Again, Australia’s first defence was put into use – their fear thriving from the evidence stated
He was critical of Australia's overconfidence and essentially said that Australia was "living beyond its means", that it had become prosperous through "mistakes" and that in order to become economically viable Australians would have to "accept a lower standard of living". The report also suggested that Australia’s protectionist attitude was deviating from its true purpose and that it should continue to exist only as a means to supply Britain with goods. This protectionist attitude was deemed to be detrimental to British interests and very beneficial to Australia. Australia’s politicians did not take Niemeyer’s comments lightly as they were fully aware of how important it was to have England on side. An ongoing relationship with England would ensure prosperity going forward and a rise from the
But lives are not. We must spare people the ordeal of war, mutilations and death for the sake of conflict diamonds”(Conflict Diamonds-UN- 1). Conflict diamonds and African customs are powerful enough and most likely to tear a family apart. In Barbara Kingsolver’s novel The Poisonwood Bible the Price family is torn apart because of African customs, similarly, conflict diamonds separate and displace many African families. Diamond conflicts began with a small, yet important, discovery of a “pretty pebble” along the banks of the Orange River in South Africa in 1867 (Saari 1).
Fisher proposes valuable points about the possible outcome of this trial if Bales was to be set free by the American court system. I believe this complication could be bypassed by the US if they would simply allow Afghanistan to try SSG Bales for the crime he committed on their own soil. Allowing Bales the right to be tried in America was the first mistake made by our nation’s justice system. According to Fisher, Bales would be needed to “grab the pooper scooper to our nation’s justice and “bail” us out of this one.” Our nation has allowed this voluntarily, jeopardizing their own reputation for the rights of a criminal. Removing Bales from Afghanistan to be tried in the US has provoked worldwide controversies between countries in the Middle East against the US.
In the 1800 a lots of countries explored the world in a race who could find new lands first and settle, but as the race went on, they countries didn´t gave the aboriginals a chance, the took theme as slaves, killed them if they didn´t obey the white man´s word, but is this okay? A normal civilized man today would says that it´s not, but still the Australians celebrates Australian day as a national day, when in fact this day for nearly 100 years ago there was a massacre on the people how are the rightful owner of the country, that the white people came and “discovered”. Through an analyse of to text how has different opinion about the subject, I will try to understand this subject better. The first text called “the white man´s burden” is

The leader of the Liberal Party , Robert Menzies, promised Australians that he would introduce legislation to rule out the Communist Party. Many Australians believed that the wealth and economy of Australia was threatened by the communists who gained access to Australia’s trade unions and political parties. Many things contribute to the fear of communism including the active communist members of the waterfront, shipping, coal and heavy metal industry since the 1920’s In 1950, the Liberal Party government led by Roberts Menzies introduced the Communist Party Dissolution Bill into Federal Parliament. The legislation gave power to the government to publicly declare any citizen a Communist and to imprison him/her from holding office in a range of public organizations, including trade unions. Ten trade union members and the Australian Communist Party decided to challenge the Bill in the High Court.
Australia isn’t as big as some of the armies around the world, it needs protection, when we were attacked by the japenese in world war 2, America backed us up and supported us with the supply of their military power, so its on us to return the favour for them, its our turn to stand up as a nation and back up America as they helped us when we were in need. Australia is only a small country compared to some of the bigger around the world and if we were to be attacked tomorrow by a bigger country without America there would be a high chance that we would not win the war, we would be seen as a weak link but with America countries would know that behind our small nation is a bigger nation in America and they will be there to support, so in respect to America and their hard doings its australias time to show were not a weak country and help out our American
Clearly, being asylum seekers, these people are fleeing something at least moderately a situation where the Sri Lankan government is killing 1400 a week of the 300,000 detained in concentration camps. This horror, that drives people to flee with nothing other than the clothes on their back, and the politicians and the media are calling them a “push factor”. The Australian governments think of the people escaping war as thinking of these people as livestock and as less marketable, not profitable, but apparently just as disposable. With this in thought the government should think again and change its mind so that they can see that Asylum seekers should be brought into Australia. The asylums gamble to get to our country and get a decent life, riding in rickety, dangerous boats, but then our country does the wrong thing and rejects them which seem very cruel.
The Mexicans thought that the Nueces River was the border but the U.S thought the border was Rio Grande. Mexicans saw the descending of the troops as an invasion. So in order to protect their land they fired upon the American soldiers. Polk obviously knew that they were going to protect their property so he provoked the Mexicans by sending troops. By doing so they killed American soldiers and Polk had a reason to go to war with Mexico and acquire
