Good Morning, members of the discovery channel, today I am here to talk about a topic I am very passionate about, and that is the Eureka Stockade. I am also here to encourage you to fund this sure to be brilliant documentary! By funding this documentary, you would help Australia gain more knowledge about why the Eureka Rebellion is a defining and shaping event in Australia’s history and why it’s still important and relevant to today’s society. Do we really want to lose such an important part of australian history? The Eureka Rebellion was a revolution, small in size but vastly larger, politically.
As a side note, clockwork orange is a vile, wicked movie, which you guys should not bother watching. It is a demonic, sicking piece of garbage. That is a warning. I do not suggest that you watch that disturbing, evil movie, at all. On a lighter note, the video that Bunnee just put up, not too long ago, was a waste of my time to watch, but she looks neat-looking in it in some ways, but the video is lame, for the most part, with the queerish-looking dude in it, which is not Dogman.
in 2004, former Prime Minister John Howard publicly supported iraq having a bill of rights but would not consider one for Australia. I respect John Howard for many things, but on this matter he failed us, failed freedom and revealed his disregard for a history of tyrants brutilizing the ordinary
In Australia, refugees and asylum seekers are treated like the enemy in a war: the target of a highly resourced, military-led “deterrence” strategy complete with arbitrary detainment, detention camps, guards to terrorise them, forced deportations and the violent suppression of those who protest. Australia is failing to meet the standards required when regarding the treatment of asylum seekers. It is fact that asylum seekers make up less than 3% of Australia’s annual immigration yet the idea is being distorted to that of which they will overpopulate a country that prides itself on being a multicultural society. I want to shed light on the misconception that asylum seekers are not ‘legal’ when in actual fact it is a human right to seek freedom.
Change. It’s what many people fear. What would you do if something so familiar in your life was gone; changed forever? Changing the Australian flag would be taking away a piece of our country 's heritage. As Dame Quentin Bryce commented, "Our flag, and icon of our shared identity, is much loved, worn and flown by Australians here and across the world.
Gentlemen, I take you back to the day, where the court of arbitration for sport had found essendon bombers players, now known as the Essendon 34, were found guilty of taking the banned substance Thymosin Beta 4,: "I 'm very disappointed, shocked is probably the best word.” Words spoken by the Coach of Essendon, James Hird, words that reflect the feelings of Australia very accurately. The Court of Arbitration for Sport has found Essendon Bombers players, colloquially referred to as the "Essendon 34", guilty of taking the banned substance Thymosin Beta 4 (TB-4) during the Essendon Football Club 's supplements program in 2012, upholding the appeal by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). This finding overturned the AFL Anti-Doping Tribunal 's
Today I'm going to be talking about Melba. The reason why is because she is an important person of why integration ended. To start off she almost died because of a racist people as a young child because the doctor took away her medicine for her to stay alive. Then she wants to attend a all white school Central High. And she gets to because Little Rock is integrating

TMP will also make sure that we pollute less in the future (YouTube, 2020).
Recently the highly contended date of Australia Day has been garnering much media attention after the town of Fremantle was the first in Australia to officially call off the celebrations that occur annually on the 26th of January. With heated debate both condemning, and supporting, this controversial move, public scrutiny of the date of Australia day has never been higher. Supporters of the move argue that having Australia day on a date associated with genocide and murder is insulting to all Australians, and prevents people from joining in on the festivities. Others condemn the move, arguing that the 26th of January is the traditional date of Australia Day and that it is merely a patriotic celebration for our home land.
The dignity of any nation rests upon the elements that it possesses, this speech entails one of those essential elements, the right to change the flag of Australia. In the 21st century, from a narrow scope, organizations and from a broader scope, countries have accepted globalisation and have understood the significance of keeping aside any cultural differences by collaborating together. A flag is a nation’s pride and it represents the nation in any circumstance. However, it is also a responsibility of a flag to represent all the people of the nation.
Para 1 - Chris Kenny introduces the controversial topic of Australia Day by suggesting that it isn’t what it used to be, once a “phlegmatic and relaxed” celebration of our achievements, now it has become a day in which we must “express your guilt for generations past”. “Sadly Australia Day has become a day of sanctimony” attacks those who view the day, and life in general, in an ultra politically correct light, stating the “new breed of Australian” must “speak in approved phrases” in order to prevent from offending someone. Kenny exposes this behaviour through appealing to the tradition and customs of Australians who may be reluctant to accept this behaviour, mirrored by his romanticising of the past, “Our nation was founded in a spirit of optimism and co-operation”, positions the audience to see the absurdity of this way of thinking, and align themselves with more old fashioned notions. It is this notion however, Martin Flanagan believes, will “drive us apart” showing that the view Kenny portrays would create a “divide” in our country. Explained in “The Problem with Australia Day”, Flanagan gives insight into the history of our national day, aligning audiences to concur with the evidence, which states John Howard is the instigator of Australia Day as we know it today.
Persuasive Speech Ah Australia. The land of opportunity. The land of freedom and equality. The land of wealth and good health. The lucky country.
A key part of being Australian is taking ownership of the world’s idea of us. Whether a tourist needs to know about Vegemite, or we are trying to convince a Taxi driver in NYC that we do, in fact, ride our pet kangaroo to work (true story), we are obsessed with taking ownership of every good thing our far and away continent has to offer. Naturally when it comes to music, we take this up a notch. Let’s be real: Keith Urban is our chief musical export. Once, I even ‘had’ to argue with an American about the musician’s nationality.
With a show of hands, who would like to be swimming with the puffer fish in the ocean against running side by side with the aye-aye in the forest? (Audience raises their hands)
The Great Barrier Reef must be saved now and protected at all costs. Introduction The Great Barrier Reef is the largest living structure on Earth and don’t you think we should be doing more to protect it? Over the past three decades, the Great Barrier Reef has lost masses of money and tourism affecting jobs and the economy, pollution is polluting the waters, and global warming has produced horrific coral bleaching.
