AUSTRALIA

BACKGROUND
Aboriginal settlers arrived on the continent from Southeast Asia about 40,000 years before the first Europeans began exploration in the 17th century. No formal territorial claims were made until 1770, when Capt. James COOK took possession in the name of Great Britain. Six colonies were created in the late 18th and 19th centuries; they federated and became the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901. The new country took advantage of its natural resources to rapidly develop agricultural and manufacturing industries and to make a major contribution to the British effort in World Wars I and II. In recent decades, Australia has transformed itself into an internationally competitive, advanced market economy. It boasted one of the OECD's fastest growing economies during the 1990s, a performance due in large part to economic reforms adopted in the 1980s. Long-term concerns include climate-change issues such as the depletion of the ozone layer and more frequent droughts, and management and conservation of coastal areas, especially the Great Barrier Reef.

    January 1901 Australia became a nation when the six British colonies, Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia, Queensland, Tasmania and Western Australia desided to become united, and then form what they chosed to call, the Commonwealth of Australia. This was all because of an agreement of a drafted constitution by Australian voters. After 1900 when the British parliament had passed legislation to enable the Austrlian commomwealth to take form and come into existence all this was possible withous any riots or wars of any kind bethween the two countries. This new drafted constitution gave the commonwealth, or the federal government, certain defined powers and all residual powers were given to the new governments of the six colonies, which were then renamed states to what we now them as today. By this and in its separate and independent judiciary, the political system is resembled that of the United States, and the executive authority was established on the British…

    In 1901 six British colonies joined to become one nation, Australia. Although 1901 was when Australia became its own country, it is unsure and a debateable decision as to when Australia became independent, both legally and politically from its founder, the British. Some say Australia achieved its true independence on the 1st January 1901 with the formation and introduction of the Australian Constitution. Others say Australia’s independence was not attained until the adoption of the Westminster Act in 1942. While it can be argued that Australia is still under the influence of Britain and until we become a republic we cannot be truly independent. This essay will discuss all of the above arguments and the steps the former British colonies took towards federation in 1901 and the steps Australia has taken since then, also what ties Australia to Britain in this day and age. When America declared independence in 1776 this caused many problems for England and the rest of Great Britain. One particular problem was that they had nowhere to send their convicts and as England was a growing country this created a problem which needed to be rectified. It was suggested that a country, now known as Australia, which Captain Cook had discovered in 1770 would be perfect for this use. In 1788 the first fleet arrived and Captain Arthur Phillip declared himself the Governor. In the next 100 years there were a series of statutes which began to create the political and legal system of this new land. The New South Wales Act, the Australian Courts Act, the Australian Constitutions Act, the Australian Constitutions Act (no 2) and the Colonial Laws Validity Act all played major parts in the establishment of Australia. At this time the parliament and the courts of this new nation had the power to create laws and govern themselves, only if it did not conflict with any law or fundamental principle of the English. So in effect Australia could only reinforce laws and ways of government already in…

    When Australia was colonised, in 1788 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people were already on the land, living with political and legal and social systems in a community. Aboriginal land was taken over by British colonists, saying the land belonged to no one, which is referred to as, “Terra Nullius”, but was then taken over by white people. In 1937, the Government held a conference on Aboriginal matters, which agreed that Aboriginal people should be introduced into the wider white population.…

    The Australian Invasion

    • 4 Pages

    The European invasion of Australia in 1780 impacted upon the lives of all the Aboriginal people that lived in and around the invaded areas. When Captain Cook landed in Australia, he declared it as Terra Nullius, and this alone gives a significant insight as to the mentality of the British and their willingness to acknowledge the Aboriginal people and the importance that the land played in their daily lives. As the invaders brought with them their laws, ideals, diseases, livestock and people, the need for land increased and settlers began to venture outwards from the main settlements, the frontier broadened and the Aboriginal population began to shrink. The encroachment upon the land meant that many Aboriginal people were now being forced to come into closer contact with the Europeans. In doing this, the frontier affected the Aboriginal people in ways that ensured that their lives would never be the same and that European ideals affected their lives not only on the frontier but for generations too follow. The invasion of the Australian frontier affected areas in Aboriginal lives such as dispossession, disease, large-scale violence, which led to resistance.…

    TAt the time of Federation, Indigenous Australians suffered greater disadvantage than any other racial community. They were considered the most inferior of all non-white races and continued to be actively discriminated against. This was not a new practice. The British colonisation of Australia had always failed to recognise Indigenous occupation of the land or sovereignty over it. In 1770 by claiming sovereignty for England, Captain James Cook also claimed the land as terra nullius, “no-man’s land” “A land where there is no sovereign law (law, social order) and a land where there is no recognisable tenure in land” (Terra Nullius, the High Court, and Surveyors). In 1788 the First Fleet arrived in Sydney Cove. The raising of the British flag…

    Captain cook arrived to Australia in 1770 and it was believed that there was at least 750 000 Aborigines living in 600 different tribes in Australia. Aboriginal people formed their own way of living with their isolation of external influences with dreamtime, their religious and spiritual belief. The Aboriginal people believed in terra nullius (meaning 'land belonging to no one') and soon after, the Europeans took away terra nullius and claimed to own the land. The European colonial governments started to grant, lease and sell land to white settlers and made money from it.…

    Most of the news emanating about Pakistan in the Western media relate to terrorism, bomb blasts, Islamic fundamentalism, nuclear non proliferation, military rule etc. Seldom does one see a positive story appearing about Pakistan’s remarkable economic turnaround. But the fact of the matter is that despite such negative image Pakistan is one of the favored destinations for foreign direct investment. Foreign direct investment flows have surged by 95 percent during July – February 2007 and are expected to touch $ 5 billion or 3.5 percent of GDP – several times higher than FDI flows to our large neighbor in relative terms. Pakistan’s international bond issues and equity floatations through GDRs have been consistently oversubscribed and are priced at fine margins. Standard Chartered Bank has made acquisition of a domestic private bank for around half a billion dollars. China Mobile – the largest mobile company in terms of subscriber base – has bought out majority shareholding in one of the local cellular phone companies for over $ 400 millions. Philip and Morris has entered into an agreement to purchase 50.2 percent shares of the second largest Cigarettes Manufacturing Company of Pakistan for US 339 million.
