Immigration protocols in other countries also need overhauling, to provide streamlined assistance with clear criteria, priorities and timelines. Many successful asylum-seekers are skilled and experienced workers, seeking a new life, safety and prosperity for themselves and their families, at a time of essentially full employment in Australia and labour shortages in some sectors. It seems short-sighted not to consider the skills and experience they can offer Australian employers and communities along with their need for
When Australia enters into an international agreement, domestic law is modified by statute to embody principles of the agreement. Laws are not fixed, they can be removed by a later act of parliament/changed through legislation reform. Some of the most important human rights legislation include the Racial Discrimination Act 1975 (Cth) and the Sex Discrimination Act 1984 (Cth) Common law and statute law promote and enforce human rights in Australia through common law, precedent on international law (Bangalore principle 1988) and the fact it can be overruled by statute law, and through statute law where the executive power signs and ratifies treaty and parliament make all/some of it
Therefore even though there were variances between the colonies (especially NSW) over free trade this idea and more notably the economic difficulties of the 1890’s, inclined that a federation might better organize commercial development. As well as these arguments that went for a Federal Government to bring together all the colonies in Australia there were also many arguments that went against this idea. The idea of federation brought fears to the smaller colonies, for if it continued and there was a constitution the larger colonies might dominate the rest such as NSW and Victoria. Queensland had only just become independent of NSW 11 years and South Australia was less than 50 years old. This was one reason that went against federation being brought around.
Secondly, our flag still displays the Union Jack on the canton, which is the position of honour. This shows that the British Empire controls Australia, which is not true. Australia is not a colony anymore, but an independent country. Foreign citizens do not recognise our flag, but instead they question why we belong to Britain. We are part of the world’s mature nations, not an infant still needing a mother’s protection.
This was introduced by the Labour party, who Lewis argues have taken on the idea of ‘social investment in children’ seriously and have realised family forms are changing. The Labour party have introduced a number of laws, attempting to strengthen the family unit. They were mainly concerned on helping the social and economic position of women, for example, marital rape was made illegal in 1991 by the Labour party. The rights of children have also been improved by the labour party due to the children’s act of 1989. New right thinkers however; believe that these laws undermine the traditional male dominance in families, but many believe these new policies for women and children strengthen the family rather than weaken it.
The Advantages of Legalizing Prostitution: Contrary to popular belief, there are various advantageous to legalizing prostitution that have proven to be effective in various regions of the world. It is often argued that the greatest benefit of legalizing prostitution is the increase in workplace safety for a sex worker. Sex workers in developed and developing nations alike have been known to be victims of various types of abuse and as a result of being outside the realm of the protection of the law, have often little to no rights or any form of protection. The legalization of prostitution allows for prostitution to be regulated and thus provide sex workers with a sense of legitimacy. This sense of legitimacy is important because in many societies, the topic of prostitution is a highly contentious one and very taboo.
However, many Australian's still use the drug and believe that it is no worse than alcohol or tobacco. This report will focus on the advantages and disadvantages of Cannabis Legalisation in Australia. The report will examine the right of choice, the use of marijuana as medicine and commodity, and the implementation of a tax to create revenue for the economy whilst examining the side effects of its use in relation to the health effects, dependancy of the drug, influence of youth and the influence it has on other illicit drugs. In the legalisation of marijuana, one of the fundamental concepts is the idea that the individual should have the right to adjudicate whether to use marijuana or not (& White, 1999). The individual from a philosophical point of view deserves the right to make a choice for themselves and not be abridged by the government.
. the role of government is to allow people the freedom to grow into responsible citizens and to exercise their inalienable rights” (2010, para 39). Elected officials work with others to find the best solutions and policies to benefit the whole in spite of their immediate needs or beliefs. We have also seen how the public’s perception of elected officials can be harmed by breaches in morality but, in the end, are forgiven in exchange for successes in other areas of performance. President Bill Clinton’s impeachment trial did not deter his approval ratings as he maintained an approval rate higher than 60 percent.

They are not here un illegally! We are participants to the United Nations Refugee Convention which means that it is legal to seek asylum in Australia, despite the fact if you arrive by boat without a visa. Asylum seekers are perceived as ‘illegal immigrants' because politicians have made it seem so. By keeping the asylum seekers captive in detention centres, we let the public pass judgement on them, assuming that their prisoners who need to be caged up because they have committed an offense. By terminating mandatory detention and the misinterpretation of refugees in the community, the world would be a better place and Australians would actually be proud of who they are and what they stand for.
