Mia Capper Mr Ying “Australia in the 1900’s was a ‘working man’s paradise’.” In the 1900’s, the working conditions in Australia were very good, because of these good conditions Australia was labelled a ‘working man’s paradise’ by its citizens and people from other countries. So was Australia really a working man’s paradise or was this just a myth. There are at least four factors to consider before a judgement can be formed: pay, working conditions, working hours and living conditions. The pay in Australia was quite good compared to England and America. The pay for the working class was being improved by introducing new laws to improve the equality of their pay.

In 1963, the Bark Petition raised awareness about the issue among the public, and the Wave Hill Walk Off in 1966 further increased awareness. However, pre-existing notions of “terra nullius” prevented these claims from being passed. However, in 1972 ghd famous image of Gough Whitlam pouring sand into Vincent Lingiari’s hand again raised awareness of the changing connotations surrounding this issue. Positive Discrimination was also introduced by the government during this time to encourage practical reconciliation e.g. providing Aboriginal University scholarships.

One woman who took the opposite approach was Nancy Brinker, founder and CEO of the Susan G. Komen foundation.

The hope and confidence that she gives to breast cancer patients every day is truly remarkable. Nancy Brinker has greatly effected our world today by impacting our society and medical
3) What image of Australia is represented in the documentary, The Queen in Australia? I could say the image of Australia represented was one of white productivity, potential and unity, and the forming of a socialised culture and national pride within a firm allegiance to the mother country England. However, in 1959 this was not a direct snapshot into the true Australian conditions and spirit. Following the end of WW2, a period of deep grief and civil unrest was emerging within Australia as post war conditions was proving life hard for the average Australian rebuilding and re-establishing a united strong nation was imperative, famously stated by immigration minster Arthur Cornell ‘populate or perish’ so in the interests of Australian potential and national pride the queen of England sailed to an economic and socially struggling Australia visiting all corners of this vast harsh land and sea, reinforcing Australia’s connection and loyalty to England, with her film crew in
