    Why Australia Became Involved in the Viettnam War

    There were, during the 1950 's and 1960 's three main political parties in Australia. They were: The Australian Labor Party (ALP). A mildly left-of-centre, socialist party, the ALP was conceived, like its British and New Zealand counterparts to represent the rights of the workers against those of the employers. It held power during the years 1941-1949, being defeated after a series of disastrous Communist led coal strikes which had crippled the economy and because of fears within the electorate that its plan to nationalise the banks in 1949 meant that it was moving too far to the left. The Liberal Party. A mildly, right-of-centre, conservative party, the Liberals (a misnaming if ever there was one in my opinion), were created out of the remains of the United Australia Party, which had dissolved as a consequence of losing government in 1941 as the result of a no-confidence motion in the then Prime Minister, R.G. Menzies. Menzies had then been re-elected in 1949 after skillfully making use of the electorate 's fears of Communism. This "kicking the Communist can" as it became known was an electoral tactic which the Liberals used time and time again successfully as a means of keeping the ALP in Opposition. The Country Party. A party which was and still is basically a mix of elements of both left and right and designed to represent the interests of the country dwellers and farmers of Australia.…

    “What Role Do Minor Parties Perform in the Australian Political System?”

    The role of the minor parties within the Australian political system can be as their title suggests, quite minor. On the other hand, a minor party can influence the political proceedings of this country in more ways than one. Minor parties can highlight socio-economic problems that quite often fly under the radar of the larger political parties, or simply can broaden electoral debate. Often spawning from a social, or in the case of the Greens, an environmental movement, minor parties tend to only last through one election, due to a lack of support and relevance in the mainstream social fabric. The minor parties can become crucial players come election time, due to Australia’s law of Compulsory preferential voting. Jaensch (1983, p.21) observes that, the system of compulsory preferential voting guarantees minor parties with two things, the minor parties supporters will turn out and vote, and secondly, preferences as a result of their votes will be shown. There are currently 70 political parties registered with the Australian Electoral Commission, most of which are minor parties.…

New technologies such as High Yield Variety seeds, chemical fertilizer, and agricultural machinery led this revolution and are still a big part of the way we produce food for the world today.

The Green Revolution has one enemy; the reproductive rate of the human species is exceeding the rate at which we can make food to feed it.…

    Australia And Climate Change

    Australia needs to play an active role in international response to climate change. This is because the nation is one the major emitters of greenhouse gas emissions. "Australia’s per capita greenhouse gas emissions are the highest of any OECD country and are among the highest in the world. In 2006 our per capita emissions (including emissions from land use, land-use change and forestry) were 28.1 tonnes carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2 -e) per person" ( Gaurant 2008, p.153). For international climate change negotiations to be transparent and successful, global emitters ( eg. Australia, USA, China and Japan) must make significant effort to reduce their emissions. Interestingly, Australia is prone to climate change due to its geographical location.…
