Advance English Summary

Gough Whitlam remains one of Australia’s few leaders who can be truly said to have changed Australia, even for the brief period of his time in government. Elected on December 5th 1972 his government brought upon a vast range of reforms in the 1071 days it held office (Thompson, 2014). Within the first year alone, Labor passed 203 bills, which is the most bills passed than any other federal government had passed in a single year (Betts, 2015). The three bills that will be presented through this essay are the Education system, with what it was like before and after the Whitlam Government came into power, what Health care was like before and after the Whitlam Government and what the Indigenous Australians went through before and after the Whitlam Government.

Australian society is often defined as egalitarian since the government equally accepts the diversity of population regardless of their personal backgrounds, socioeconomic status, health condition and political opinions. The society is supposed to attach importance to the fair civil liberties, protect local industries and provide every resident with welfare support, the opportunity of education and employment. However, after world economy crisis brought great global change in the 1980s, Australian political policy dramatically changed into profitability toward this competitive global economy. This includes the decrease in protectionism, privatization of institutions, further employment bargaining and also reduction of the subsidy

To begin with, an abbreviated political development that started from the European colonization of Australia will be provided, and it will show how the indigenous children were removed from their families because of the motivations, assumptions and policies of the government.

To introduce, Australia was country solely owned and run by Britian until 1901, the year of Australian federation, from 6 separate self-governing colonies to one, on the 26th day of January 1901. ’While Federation was not perfect, it was a system (of both laws and beliefs) that enabled Australia to flourish.’ The question itself represents the states coming together as one uniting nation. The laws, the beliefs, the privileges and the embellishment of the phrase gives you a sense of welcoming into the history of Australian federation.

As a result of the Second World War the power and prestige of the Australian Government increased significantly. Most of the powers acquired by the Commonwealth were gained with the passing of the National Security Act on the 9th of September 1939. The sweeping powers allowed the Federal Government to control the civil liberties of civilians, industry manufactures and the workforce, the role of women and many activities of everyday Australians. Although these controls brought hardship and some tensions within society, the Australian people were united in the war effort and in the ‘austerity’ required from them.

In Australia, the preamble of the Australian Constitution proclaims the agreement of the people of the Australian colonies ‘to unite in one indissoluble Federal Commonwealth’. It is also Aroney argued that the preamble and the form of federal government in the Australian constitution cannot be changed because every state in Australia has agreed to form a federal Government permanently. According to Craven, abolishing the states in implementing a unitary government would be a total alteration of the Australian Constitution and that would be unrecognisable and that amendment is no longer under specific context of section 128 the Australian constitution. This view also supports by Scoot Guy, he points out that the total amendment of the Australian

Australia had always belong under the wing of Britain, a historically superior nation. This powerful alliance had begun on the 26th January 1788, when Captain Arthur Phillip was set on a treacherous journey to sail to Australia and successfully colonise this nation. Furthermore, Australia’s influential relationship with Britain was evident, as Australia had fought beside Britain in various wars, including the Great South African war, also known as Boer War and World War One, all prior to the dramatic outbreak of World War 2. Throughout Australia’s association with Britain, had always been a mother country to Australia, and Australia always looked to Britain for knowledge and advice. Due

In the second reading, 'The distinctiveness of Australian democracy', John Hirst tells his international students a secret, “Australians are very obedient people.” His use of anecdote as an opening to his piece is immediately engaging. He notes that Australia was the first nation to enforce the mandatory wearing of seatbelts and compulsory breath testing for drivers of motor vehicles to check if they are under the alcohol limit. Unfortunately my engagement soon dissipated as he begins to list the history of Australian politics and compulsory voting.

The rest of the Professor’s argument is then focussed on rebutting the third criticism, which presents the idea that Australian democracy and the judiciary system will be undermined by granting the judiciary power in place of an elected parliament. Charlesworth systematically breaks down this criticism by examining the “legislative human rights record”, the “distortion of the judicial role” the claim presents and by finally examining “eliding constitutional and statutory bills of rights”.

Australia has enjoyed over a century since it gained its Federation status from its colonizers, having joined the Commonwealth in 1901 (Le Roy, & Saunders, 2005, pp. 7-9.). Despite this, the status of its

When an article was published in The Socialist on the 29th of July 1911, it is safe to say that John Curtin did not predict that he would be Prime Minister of Australia by the 7th of October 1941 (Tom Fitzgerald, National Museum of Australia). The article entitled ‘To Do or Not to Do’ was likely written by Curtin under the pen name Marat, and expressed the writer’s sense of difficulty in upholding socialist principles while continuing to peruse a personal career (Tom Fitzgerald). One of the key reasons that demonstrates that Curtin was in fact Marat was his tendency to let sleeping dogs lie ‘if you are a member of Parliament, or a Union Secretary,’ (Tom Fitzgerald). At the time Curtin was the Victorian organising secretary for the Timber Workers’

“The enduring loyalty and affection for the English monarchy in Australia has impeded the development of a sense of Australian identity. Do you agree? Give reasons for your answer.”

According to Meaney, the White Australia policy as a foundational element of identity at the 1901 Federation of Australia. The policy was part of an attempt to foster patriotism, whereby foreign elements were rejected in favour of a loyalty to Australia (1995: 173). Meaney cites the “social trauma of rapid modernisation” as one factor of insecurity that compelled Australia to pursue a racially homogenous society (1995: 174). However, Meaney minimizes Australia’s insecurity within Australasia, observing that only Japan was considered a threat until World War II (1995: 175). This position underestimates the unique position of Australia as an imperial colony within a racially alien region (Jayasuriya 2010: 30). The geopolitical uncertainty of the alien region ensured that Australia not only identified with Britain, but against Asia, adopting an essentially defensive identity (Mauzy 1999: 333). However, Meaney rejects the stance of methodological nationalism
