But Julia Gillard, the average Australian is not understood by the rest of the world to run our country. No, you see as we are a commonwealth country the world automatically perceives Australia as a Little Britan. They assume British values accurately represent the average Australian. And the prime minister, well she is simply
True Australia Where do you find it? Carrie Bamonte discovers the beauty of Flinders Ranges, and explains why it is where the real Australia can be found. Where is the best place to find real Australian culture? Contrary to popular belief, capital cites such as Sydney, do not truly reflect what Australia is all about. These urbanised places are becoming increasingly westernised and do not make a true representation of the traditional Australian culture.
It could be argued that Australia becoming a Federation was a stupid thing to do but most people agree that it was a great idea. Some of the reasons can include trade (NSW/Victoria rivalry), communication and fear of invasion by Germany. On January 1, 1901, Australia’s six self-governing colonies became states in a Federal Commonwealth. In other words, January 1st, 1901, is when Australia became a Federation. For over fifty years many individuals had dreamed of this and occasionally false starts were made, but it wasn’t until the 1890’s that the Federation movement gathered momentum.
Another film where mateship is evident is Animal Kingdom. Despite being a relatively new film (2010) Animal Kingdom represents of side of Australia that many are unaware of. This film differentiates from the previously mentioned film for a number of reasons. Firstly, they are both set in very different environments. Animal Kingdom is set in a small suburban Melbourne town, whereas, Ned Kelly is set in dense bush-land and rural north-east Victoria.
CHAPTER-2 INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVE OF INVESTIGATION INVESTIGATION IN AUSTRALIA INTRODUCTION A different feature of the Australian Constitution is the fact that it lacks a Bill of Rights. Therefore, the source of rights is either common legislation or principles of common law. However, protection has been taken to provide that most safeguards for human rights, particularly those in Article 14 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights are guaranteed by law in most states.While federal control over criminal law is remarkably diminished, the central government has laid down a Model Criminal Code so that they can facilitate consistency between states regarding recognition of offences. This is significant because in many cases, federal crimes have not in fact been organised through codes and the practice ensured by most courts is then to apply the state law on the relevant subject. So very often, even the crime is federal, the suit can end with different outcomes depending on what state the trial is conducted in.This Criminal Code deals with procedure only indirectly and most clear provisions forinvestigation provided in
An opinion piece written by Mr. John Smith, published in the Australian, clearly shows inaccurate and false information and shows clear bias towards the pro-Australian view of its original origins. Mr. John Smith states in his opinion piece that; Australia from its origins prided themselves on and lived in an ‘egalitarian society’. Mr. Smith states that ‘from 1788 to 1850’, during Australia’s early colonial times), ‘Australia at the time enjoyed a society of egalitarian values and beliefs’ ‘Australia right from the start had no real class systems or any special group of people holding supreme power over the nation’, saying Australia had always enjoyed an equality based system ever since the first colonial periods, believing the men and women
1) Thackrah & Scott (2011) in the above readings, identify Australia’s shared history of colonisation with New Zealand and Canada. There is however one important ‘event’ in Australia’s history not present in either NZ or Canada which has had a profound effect on successive Australian governments’ development of policies and practices around the health and well being of Indigenous Australians. Identify this ‘event’ and at least two (2) health impacts. Australia was made up of colonial settler societies, which means Australia was made up of different background people sharing different culture and tradition. As we can still find in the present that these three countries Australia, Canada and New Zealand has somehow similar type of constitutional

And therefore he suggests that “Shearing the Rams was not an icon of Australian legend at the time of its making…”5 It merely was connecting with the relationship of a class ideology and subsequently became one. Although this suggestion is disheartening to many current Australian’s it is justified when you consider that “nationalism is not an ideology: it is an appeal to the social units made specific by the class ideology and interests which call on it at particular times.” 6 This means that at a later date the image of bush labour and pastoral life, the foundation which the country was built on, became a strong ideological symbol of what it meant to be Australian. Probably the most different reading is Tim Bonyhady’s ‘Contrasting Lights’ as he does not, like Burn’s and Smith, analyse the ideological and class interpretations of the audiences at the time. Instead, he concentrates more on stylistic influence and emergence of the Heidelberg
In Australia this meant cultural and racial homogeneity. So we are no talking about racial equality. In fact, and although this seems absolutely contradictory to us today, a commitment to egalitarianism in Australia went hand-in-hand with a belief in racial inequality. So on the one hand you had support for the equality of individuals but at the same time the inequality of races was promoted in Australia. As Australia’s first PM said the doctrine of equality of man was never intended to include racial equality and was never intended to apply to the equality of Englishmen and the Chinaman.’ It was not possible at the time to commit to both – only be equal because all were the same – Australia could only be egalitarian if it was homogenous & this meant white and
