Pros And Cons Of An Australian Republic

With the separation of power, Australia is more just. By having three branches of government, The Executive, Judicial, and Legislative. The executive branch puts laws into power through government agencies and enforces them, the judicial branch takes the laws and interprets and carries out judgment to individuals who disobey or corrupt them, and the legislative branch makes the laws for people to follow and obey (including the politicians). Germany on the other hand, had two branches, the legislative and judicial. Both of them hold unjust power, the judicial branch does not fully create laws, they only enforce them on the individuals who break them playing as a people’s court, the legislative is

This essay will look at the aspects or reasons as to how and why the coalition government has won the federal election that took place on the 7th of September 2013. There are many reasons why Tony Abbott has won victory against the Rudd and Gillard government and to gain hundreds of thousands of Australian citizen’s trust. Reasons include; Tony Abbott putting a stop to the boats entering the Australian land, the abolishment of carbon tax and the reduction of the cost of living, Abbott promising to recognize Aborigines as nations first people, and lastly Tony Abbott took advantage the distrust that has been happening between the Rudd and Gillard Government to his power by pin pointing their flaws and issues thus making the citizens of Australia think twice on whether they should really put their complete trust in an unstable government to run the country given the economic difficulties happening today around the world. This essay will ideally discuss in depth as to why the coalition won the 2013 federal election and factors that has persuaded the citizens of Australia to vote for the Abbott government.

In 1901 the six British colonies of Australia came together to form the Commonwealth of Australia. This federation was the result of intercolonial discussion, referendums and political debate with a range of different issues . However given the country’s history surrounding Asia and Pacific workers and the conflicts due to their presence, it was agreed that the new nation of Australia would be ‘white’ only. Despite Indigenous Australians and Chinese who were already in residence, colonialists aspired to keep the heritage and culture of Australia British and as a result there would be no home for non-European in Australia . After Australia was federated on January 1st 1901 the government passed the Immigration Restriction Bill which became known

Prior to the 1900s there was no country known as Australia which held the six states together united as one country. Instead there were six colonies of New South Wales, South Australia, Victoria, Queensland, and Western Australia that existed on the Australian continent as separate countries, also including Tasmania, the island colony. It was also governed as separate countries by Britain given that Australia was still under the rule of the British Empire. Initially there was absolutely no interest what so ever of a federation uniting Australia as one because each colony was interested in being responsible for their own economic interest and couldn’t come to an agreement. However due to many factors such as attaining a united defence to have

We are gathered here today, in loving memory of the greatest prime minister to ever grace Australian soil. Gough Whitlam broke a 23-year-old dry spell for the labour party and although his term in office was a mere three years, in that three years he did more than any other prime minister ever has and truly began to shape the Australia we live in today. From humble beginnings, to fighting for Australia, Whitlam was a man of great courage and will and for that his legacy will transpire long past his time. FIRST BODY PARA: ‘Terra Nullius’ the two words that initiated white superiority in Australia for over 100 years. Gough Whitlam was the first Australian prime minister to accept instead of oppress and put an end to a previously idealistic

Australia became an independent nation in 1901 when the British Parliament passed legislation, giving us the right to govern ourselves. We stood up for ourselves and became more independent. 1914 brings the start of World War One. They went into battle with the characteristics formed by the founders of our nation, the bravery, mate ship, determination and honour coursing through their veins. The approximately 52,280 people that came back from the war continued to live the now labelled ‘ANZAC Spirit’, teaching their children and grandchildren to live life with courage and integrity. Even while the war was on, the women lived the spirit in Australia by stepping up and doing work the men usually did as well as the normal female tasks.

First, it vests 'the executive power ' of the federal polity created by the Commonwealth Constitution in the Queen; this, together with other provisions in the Constitution, established Australia as a monarchy with the Queen of the United Kingdom as its Head of State. Secondly, the Commonwealth 's executive power is 'exercisable ' by the Governor-General, which means that it is exercised on the advice of the Ministers, since it is the former who advise the Governor-General. The third provision in s 61 is the most cryptic, stating to what subjects Commonwealth executive power 'extends '. This third provision has, naturally, been the most important and the only aspect of s 61 to raise justifiable

Australia should not embed a bill of rights into the constitution, as the United States of America and many other countries have done. The United States of America uses a Bill of Rights, a section of the constitution that is set aside for rights of the people. Australia has uses a mixture of statutory laws, constitutional sections and common law to protect the Australian people’s rights in a superior way, such as having checks and balances to prevent overstepping of power, common law and implied rights, having the flexibility to change or update rights easier than the USA, and the fact that the supreme court and judges in America are extremely politicized, meaning that embedding a Bill of Rights is unnecessary and potentially hazardous. The US places all of its rights into the Bill of Rights, such as the freedom of speech,

Chapter One: Ideas that Shape American Politics 1. There are three forms of equality (social, political, and economic), define each.

The Old Republic and the New Republic are much different than you think. The government, factions, and planets are similar and different in many aspects. The Old Republic, or the True Republic, was founded 25, 053 BBY. This government was one that was based on ideals.

The little records historians have at their disposal are fantasies at best and give little to no facts about the time period. Next came the Republic. This was a revolutionary form of government which has been mimicked time and time again by other countries. Finally was the dictatorship which was ruled by extremely powerful dictators who had full control of the

The entire idea of republicanism is one that is not easily achieved. Many different countries have tried to implement the ideals of a republic, but only a few have actually achieved a pure republic. The United States today is not a pure republic, it is more of a republic mixed with democratic ideals. American republicanism is a multifaceted political ideology that incited vast differences among the individuals who considered it as the establishment of the United States political framework. It attempted to contain political corruption and greed.

During the next 20 years’ Australian citizens grew to consider themselves separate from ‘Mother Country’ making Australia a nation in its own right. This line of thought lead to people questioning if it was still acceptable to give everything they had for Britain. In particular, was it sensible to join a war no matter what the cost to

This means that it is a democracy in the sense that the people who make decisions are chosen by the people, but the people themselves do not make decisions. The decisions are made by representatives, hence the name of representative democracy. Meanwhile, Canada's government is a federal constitutional monarchy. To put it simply, this means that while Canada has a monarch, that monarch is restricted by a constitution. The monarch is more of a symbolic head, as opposed to a political head.
