Introduction Robert James Lee Hawke was born on the 9th of December 1929 at Bordertown, South Australia. Robert Hawke was the 23rd prime minister of Australia, being in office for the longest period of time. He had been the Australian prime minister for eight years and has contributed immensely to the Australian society throughout his political career. As a prime minister, two of the most significant contributions he made were the Economic Summit of 1983 which produced a “Wages Accord” with trade unions and reforming the Australia’s education and training system. The accord improved economic growth with inflation and cut real wages.
The Mabo Decision was a turning point for the recognition of the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. From recognising ownership of traditional lands to raising awareness of racial discrimination, it affected the Indigenous Australian society in various ways. Firstly, the Mabo Decision was significant because it acknowledged the ownership of traditional lands by abolishing “terra nullius”, meaning that the land is empty and owned by no one. Previously, the British denied the Indigenous Australians' connection and ownership of the land by declaring that Australia was "terra nullius". However, on the 3rd of June, 1992, the High Court decided that the Merriam people were "entitled as against the whole word to possession, occupation
After enduring the past three decades encompassing two world wars and economic depression, Australians sought peace and security in the post-war era. Although this new era had brought both economic and political stability, Australians continued to live feeling vulnerable and fearful.1 From 1949-1966, Robert Menzies lead Australia through the post-war era as his second term as Prime Minister and became the longest-serving Prime Minister in Australian history2 as the leader of the conservative Liberal Party. During Menzies' second term he held strong priority on eliminating the communist influence in the union movement and believed that this goal could only be achieved by abolishing the Communist Party. In October of 1950, he kept true to his election pledge and The Communist Party Dissolution Act 1950 (Cth) was passed into law by Parliament, making the Communist Party and affiliated bodies illegal.2 In the words of the Bill, a communist was 'a person who supports or advocates the objectives, policies, teachings, principles or practices of communism, as expounded by Marx and Lenin’.3
Australia’s economy in world war one The establishment of the commonwealth of Australia on 1 January 1901 removed two major obstacles to the development of Australian society: the disunity of the state and the exploitation and control of Britain. Since then, Australia has entered a new historical period. The main task of the new period is to vigorously develop the social economy, establish the basic laws and basic policies of the state, adjust the foreign policy, and improve the national political system and economic system. By the time of the First World War in 1914, Australia had completed the task.
The Australian Political Policy changed in 1975, mainly due to the Vietnam War. After the war between North and South Vietnam, thousands of Vietnamese immigrants migrated to Australia bearing their own political views. The original policy, impacted a larger, broader reach of Australian Society, especially the selected migrants living in Australian capital cities. Prior to the Vietnam War, Vietnam was a democratic nation. After the change of political leadership, there was a dramatic change in critical leaders that were in power previously (source 1).The change in leadership turned Vietnam into an intense war zone.
The Australian constitution are written sets of rules that the country is controlled by. The Commonwealth of Australia was established on the first of January in 1901. It is a document which creates how the system of the parliament works and who has the right to make laws. The federal and state Parliaments have the power to construct laws that allow Australian citizens with their freedom of speech. The constitution is a necessary part of the nation as it represents the progress of the colonies turning into states.
Money is everything. The value of money is even more important. When money is rare it's value increases and when it is plentiful the value decreases. As a citizen of Tap having the amount of money to buy one corn is plentiful. The price equilibrium with the amount of corn I can buy.
The External Forces that impact on the Organisation External forces are depending on Globalisation, Convergence, technology change, Value of the Dollar, Interest Rates, Political Climate and Economic Climate. Our various factors, including, but not limited to: • Changes and the effect of, laws, regulations, taxation or accounting standards or practices and government policy • the stability of Australian and international financial systems and disruptions to financial markets and any losses • market volatility of uncertain conditions in funding, equity and asset markets • adverse asset, credit or capital market conditions and changes to our credit ratings • levels of inflation, interest rates, exchange rates and market and monetary fluctuations •
The President has a major role as a public leader and figure for the US. With someone like Trump in office who has many business ties, it is hard to say that his presidency does not contribute to the economy in some way. It was reported that during and after his election there was a strong increase in the stock market. This is possibly from people believe in his strong background on the economy and business, thinking that if he is elected then it must be a bullish market. There is much speculation as to how much power the President has over the economy.
Critical Research Exercise Question(s) What role do the states play in Australian government and democracy? What factors shape their interaction with the federal government? Do you think they should be abolished?
The person I interviewed was a veteran of Army that consequently he stayed some sequels that Iraq war, and one of the problems that affected him was seeing comrades die at war and innocent children died in that war as absurd. This situation affects his nervous system and had to retreat to recover from that sociological trauma. He is original from Puerto Rico; he has a wonderful family and three kids. Also something that characterizes him is Christian and Hispanic. When I make the questions, he mentioned that many years ago did not keep many traditions and customs that he grew, the reason was because he living 25 years in the U.S. He names is Luis Alberto Agosto and then he said I’m originally from Puerto Rico, but I am growth in New Jersey.
A Bill of Rights, as Justice Fitzgerald said, does not alter the distribution of power between politicians and judges but between politicians and the people. As I have written elsewhere, most people would prefer judges to enforce their rights rather than politicians. It is true that they do not elect the judges, but in every opinion poll that has ever been held in Australia, they certainly put them on a far higher rating of trustworthiness than they do politicians. The argument that a Bill of Rights would be overseen and enforced by the courts is an argument in its favour, not an argument against it. There are public opinion polls which show that an overwhelming number of people actually want to have a Bill of Rights; they want to be protected
Saving and Interest Rates The controversy revolving around what triggers high interest rate in Canada has been around for a few years. While some are quick to blame Canadian consumers’ spending habits, others believe that the public spending habits are what provoke the higher interest rate. If you take a glance at the Canadian economic history over the past few decades, Canada has been experiencing high interest rates. Many commentators including high officials of the Bank of Canada blame the Canadian public spending habits for the high interest rates.
THE BANK OF CANADA The Bank of Canada is the Canada’s central bank. It was established in 1935. The governor of the Bank is appointed by the federal government. The current governor is Stephen S. Poloz.
CHAPTER 2 LITERATURE REVIEW INFLATION (InvestorWords, 2015) stated that inflation is the increase in the general price level of goods and services in economy, normally caused by excess supply of money. Inflation usually measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI). When the cost of producing goods and services goes up, the purchasing power of dollar will decrease. A customer will not be able to purchase the same goods and services as he/she previously could.
