Assessment 1- Using AS/NZS ISO 31000:2009 Risk Management- Principles and Guidelines, define risk management.

It can be argued that Australia’s national identity has been formed from images and ideas of being Australian which society and the media have shaped through story-telling, myth making, news reporting, academic pontificating, cinema production and watching, and more.

What might justify over-riding a state’s right to sovereignty by intervening in a civil war? The concept of sovereignty is paramount in the debate to justify intervention. After failures in Bosnia and Rwanda, the international commission on intervention and state sovereignty created the responsibility to protect in 2001[1].

The responsibility to react is an integral element of the responsibility to protect framework.
The High Court of Australia was established through the Constitution in Chapter 3, s71 – 80 to act as the overseer of the entire constitutional system. The founders saw it fit to establish such a ‘committee’ to protect and interpret the constitution and deal with any conflicts that arose regarding the ambits of the constitution. That the functions of the High Court are even discussed in such an important document such as the Constitution emphasises its overall importance. The High Court remains the sole authority regarding any interpretation of the Constitution with its power strictly emphasised: …the separation between the Judicature on the one hand and the Parliament and the Executive on the other is strict.

Introduction With the continued growth of the National Rugby League competition in Australia it is important to recognise where the sport is able to gain competitive advantage from both a business perspective and a more community enrichment based perspective. The aim of this project is to identify the areas in which Australian rugby league can better function to serve the purpose of creating a competitive advantage. This report draws on a number of texts to convey the current position of rugby league in Australia across a range of positional indicators. It offers an in depth explanation of the current development initiatives and issues relevant to the sport and outlines an alternative focus that if adopted, would promote greater grassroots participation particularly in females. The report also offers insight into how these alternative policies will assist the Australian Rugby League in gaining a competitive advantage in the specific region of junior and grassroots development through critical analysis of the internal and external environment relevant to the organisation.

This issue can easily be debated in terms of if the law meets the needs of the whole and not just some. Is the law efficient, equitable and sustainable or will it needs to be reformed due to social changes and needs of the Australian people? This paper also wants to discuss if the maximum amount hours worked by the people is fair also.
In the 18th century, when the first British settled down here, Australia became a colony of Britain. (Wikipedia 2014) From then on, the symbol of Britain or Europe can be seen everywhere in Australia.

The flag is the most important symbol of a country, because it stands for the country in the world. It makes us focus on the Australian Flag Debate.
