Recorded in Australia during 2011-12, 8 million Australian adults had smoked a cigarette in their life, out of that 8 million; 3.1 million were already current smokers. Currently there are laws against smoking in the workplace, but there are no laws about having restricted areas for smoking outside of the workplace. In 2011-12, there was a recorded estimate of 22.7 million residents. 19.6 million of those people do not smoke, so why are we not making Australia a safer and smoke free environment for those people.
In Australia alone 15,000 people die every year due to smoke related deaths. Smoking kills more people than alcohol, other drugs, murder, suicide, road crashes, rail crashes, air crashes, poisoning, drowning, fires, falls, lightening,
Smoking should be banned in Australia. Smoking is a disgusting habit that many Australians use every single day. The impact of banning smoking altogether in Australia would be a massive favour for everyone. Australian adults who smoke everyday and Australian Secondary Students from the age 12 to 17 smoke over 22 billion cigarettes per year and effecting other people to start smoking because they think it’s a cool way to get attention. But I think that banning it in almost all public places is a great idea but I raise this question to you, “Why not just Ban Smoking?” This question was raised in a ‘The Age’ article in 2013. The main point of the article is, smoking is banned in pretty much all public places and there are often neighbours writing to the council complaining about a smoking neighbour, so why not just ban it altogether?
At the point when mapping out your Australian get-away, a visit to Queensland's capital may not be your first decision. The nation's third biggest city is frequently ignored for Australia's all the more surely understood visitor problem areas, as Sydney and Melbourne. However, Brisbane's subtropical atmosphere, flourishing expressions and unrecorded music scene and flock of outside to-dos make it a commendable destination for your next excursion Down Under.
In surveying Australian film production over the last century, what visibly occurs is a general evasion of Aboriginal issues and an absence of any balanced representation of Australia’s notable Indigenous population. But I need to add, that things are changing. Several recent films seek to redress this imbalance and provide a substantial Indigenous storyline.
In 1984, Peter McCormick’s “Advance Australia Fair” officially became Australia’s national anthem. A song we proudly sing both on Anzac Day and Australia Day, with our hand’s on our heart. Should we be proud to sing a song about absolute lies? “Australians all let us rejoice, For we are young and free”, it took aboriginals over 60 years to be recognized as human beings, let alone Australians, they were anything but free. “For those who’ve come across the seas, we’ve boundless plains to share”, that whole sentence is a lie, we have stopped the boats, we don't want to share our boundless plains. We lock up our immigrants in Detention Centers, replicating that of cages. All of us here are living a free life and a safe life and for the majority of us, it is our reality and has been since the day we were born. I’m
My fellow australians Change is not the answer! The Australian flag is intertwined with history, something lacking in all ‘new’ Australian flags. The current Australian flag is what our soldiers die under, its what are sportsmen win under. The flag has undergone draughts, floods, and depressions and recessions; it defines us as Australians. Every time you see the flag it reminds all Australians of what we have accomplished as a country, it reminds us of what we have lost and what do we have to show for it if we change our flag.
Today Australians acknowledge the rights of everyone, a democratic system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives. Australia, the rights of everyone, furthermore the long term Australia is in independent nation and since one of the most important aspects of nationhood is the people, ourb> head of state should be an Australian whose first allegiance is to Australia, not Britain. I have three main points I wish to make clear these are that citizens of Australia have favoured the change for many years now and, secondly Australia can benefit socially and economically, thirdly, support grows every year and is virtually exponentially, so do you want this change now or 100 years away?
My oral surrounds the contemporary issue of the banning of the Melbourne Cup due to the cruel and inhumane treatment of the horses. The Melbourne Cup is an internationally recognised horse racing event, with a rich history dating back to 1861 and is a public holiday for residents of Melbourne. The arguments that support the ban are as follows: the racing undergone poses a significant risk to the health of the horses; the existence of the race is due to the economic benefits it brings and; many of the horses are discarded and then killed, known as ‘wastage’. With my arguments I intend for readers to depart with a greater understanding and appreciation of the ideas in my oral. The convention of a persuasive speech is to be adopted; a structure
“I’m going crazy,” “I can’t control myself,” “People are judging me,” “I’m about to die.”
I am sure that everyone of you have heard about aliens and UFOs. Indeed, we all have heard about the famous case of aliens and UFOs in Roswell, New Mexico. Most people might be interested in the topic of aliens, but I know that the majority of you just think of it as rumours and the existence of them are impossible. Therefore, I am standing here in front all of you to make you change your perspective. I am strongly confident that I have found the evidence of their real existence to convince all of you.
Smoking is recognised as the largest single preventable cause of death and disease in Australia. It is associated with an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, cancer, emphysema, bronchitis, asthma, renal disease and eye disease. Tobacco contains the powerfully addictive stimulant nicotine, which can make smoking a regular and long-term habit that is not easy to quit (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2014). Statistics show
Good Morning, Class! “Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love.” This is a quote from St Francis and I think this depicts everything about Mt Alvernia College since this quote is part of our peace and college prayer. Mt Alvernia nurtures the beliefs and values of St Francis and St Clare because they are great role models and because they provide a stepping-stone for a genuine catholic education, for 21st centurial women.
Twelve score and two years ago, our country boldly declared its independence, clearly drawing a line between it and the rest of the world. Its beauty has shone through our history, and our monuments in our Capitol truly reflect our heritage. Our country leads the world while also keeping safety and justice among its citizens. Now, in this day and age, the America we know is the center of independence and freedom. Especially now, when many refugees persistently seek a shelter and education in our country, we must reflect truly what our country is and how it has rippled through our lives. America is a world leader with scars of a beaten history, but victoriously crowned with liberty. Because of this, we must reflect what America is to us, and
We fly it, we parade it, we wave it, we wear it. On Australia day, you can’t walk down a street without seeing one. But why doesn’t the Australian flag actually represent us? Without hesitation, I agree the symbolism on a national flag is of the utmost importance. The United States have their precious Stars & Stripes, Japan their rising sun and Britain have the blending of three crosses. We could go through flag after flag and either point out the symbolism or research it. However, the Australian flag, or more correctly the British Blue Ensign should not remain our flag, as the real symbolism is no longer relevant. Modern Australians understand the Southern Cross, but they do not at all understand the Union Jack in the corner. It is time to change and to represent the culturally diverse, indigenous valuing country we are known to be.
It isn't a crime to seek asylum. Since 1945 Australia has been accepting refugees and giving them a home where they can feel safe and not have to worry about the dangers they used to face. They can raise their family in a country that isn't war torn and divided by politics. However, a growing number of people want to restrict and remove some of the basic rights of people leaving their home for ours. “Reclaim Australia” was founded in 1996 and aims to reduce immigration. They’re anti-islam views have stirred the nation. They're goals include banning food of any religious blessings such as Halal and creating “one law for all”. The group does not consider themselves racist yet insists that Islamic people are terrorists, be-headers or bombers.
Attention getter: According to Tobacco-Free Kids, “about 400,000 people die from their own smoking each year, and about 50,000 die from second-hand smoke annually. Smoking kills more people than AIDS, alcohol, car accidents, illegal drugs, murders and
