Ramsi Case Report

For many years refugees have been demonized by the country through the spread of fear and misconception. Furthermore, the disgusting treatment of refugees in the detention camps by the Australian Government has been roundly criticised by the international community.

Government initiatives often fail to address other root causes. More than 200 years of dispossession, racism and discrimination have left Indigenous Australians with some of the lowest levels of education, highest levels of unemployment, poorest health and most appalling housing conditions.

Since the time of federation the Aboriginal people have been fighting for their rights through protests, strikes and the notorious ‘day of mourning’. However, over the last century the Australian federal government has generated policies which manage and restrained that of the Aboriginal people’s rights, citizenships and general protection. The Australian government policy that has had the most significant impact on indigenous Australians is the assimilation policy. The reasons behind this include the influences that the stolen generation has had on the indigenous Australians, their relegated rights and their entitlement to vote and the impact that the policy has had on the indigenous people of Australia.

The assimilation program and federal law just caused mass amounts of problems not just now but for future generations to come. Many members of the Stolen Generation have a sense of loneliness, low self-esteem, loss of identity and mistrusting everyone and have also shown a much higher unemployment rate causing economic problems. The Stolen generation also has had an impact on Parliament as seen in the famous “I’m Sorry” speech by Kevin Rudd in 2007 and more recent apologies to the “White Stolen Generation”. The Stolen Generation has impacted Aboriginal Australian life drastically and Australian’s history and is often portrayed in the media and in movies such as Rabbit Proof Fence.

If MCI wants to issue $500 million of 20-year subordinated debentures, we first calculate the interest payment, which is $62.5. The total interest payment would be $116.6 by adding up the previous net interest, so we can calculate the interest coverage ratio by dividing the operating income in 1983 by the total interest payment, which is 2.53. Then we look up the

Today 60 million refugees, and asylum seekers are internally displaced . This is almost double what it was 10 years ago. Mega conflicts in Syria and Iraq have displaced millions of people. These are conflicts that are pushing refugees and migrants into flight. The world is in the midst of an unprecedented humanitarian crisis. Yet Australia’s approach in recent years has been to punish people seeking asylum, while increasing the numbers of refugees it resettles. This contrasting approach threatens the long and proud history Australia has of successful integration of refugee communities. This report reflects what we have heard from refugees and people seeking asylum, and the people supporting them. We thank all of the people who contributed to this report. The past two years have been a dramatic and traumatic period for refugees, both at home and abroad. More people are seeking safety – from persecution, conflict, violence and violations of human rights – than at any time since World War II. In the past two years, we have seen lifeless children washing up on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. We have seen ordinary Europeans lining up to help refugees at train stations. We have seen Australians demanding successfully that their leaders let in an extra 12,000 people fleeing the crises in Syria and Iraq.

Australians are growing more negative about high immigration and the arrival of asylum seekers. Multiculturalism strengthened the Australian way of life, a third answered weakened, while it is said migrants get more opportunities than those born in Australia. The threat to Australia by taking immigrants from war-torn countries without confirming their suitability could cause more disharmony within Australia. While governments such as PNG (Papua New Guinea) has rejected the solution Australia tries to find by placing refugees in

In the NT, 97% of youth in the juvenile detention are IY (Vita 2015, p8). According to Vita (2015, p11), youth in the YJS come from backgrounds of poverty, alcohol abuse, violence and dysfunctional relations; hence higher level of intervention is required for these young people. This report agrees that alcohol abuse and weak family ties contribute to IY’s representation within the YJS, but it argues that forms of interventions should be limited. As mentioned in previous works, early interventions may lead to youth labelled as criminals (McAra & McVie 2010, p189; Paternoster and Iovanni 1989, p375). Additionally, previous interventions consisted of the removal of Aboriginal children from their natural families may affect the cultural identity of these youth (ATSIC 2000, p163; Graham 1999, p7 & 9). This has implications for the policies that seek to involve Aboriginal Elders in their response.

The impact of the Stolen Generations on Australian Indigenous peoples is seen in the sense of isolation and separation that overwhelms the children that were forcibly removed under the policies of the assimilation legislation. The children experienced not only separation from their family but also had their identity taken away, this includes not being able to speak their own language or practice their culture and religion practices.

Providing opportunities to detect and treat hearing, language, visual and behavioural problems early (Thomson, Burns & McLoughlin, 2012, p.2). This enables services to work as a team to provide every opportunity for students to grow and learn, vitally important to eliminate the cycle of poor health and education which some Indigenous Australians face (Thomson, Burns & McLoughlin, 2012, p.1). Further strategies include building positive relationships within the class include: Getting to know the children as individuals – each has their own story and background that they bring to school; Communication is key – Listen to children, learn about them, talk in a calm, caring manner, use non-verbal signals and avoid singling a child out on behaviour issues in front of others (Harrison & Sellwood, 2016, pp.120 to 121). These strategies offer a kind, gentle and more positive approach. One which is less authoritarian but more harmonious, affording a safe learning environment. Acknowledging and considering histories of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people will help in understanding why parents may have negative attitudes towards institutions, including schools, and subsequently that children may replicate these views (Harrison & Sellwood, 2016, p. 121). Further exemplifying, reasons for teachers to consider their teaching style, personality and

Good morning delegates of the youth parliament and observing members. Today I stand before you to discuss an issue that continues to evoke high emotions and create deep divisions within Australian society. I refer to the matter of refugees and Australia's immigration policy. Not since the second world war has the world faced such an upheaval with so many people displaced. In 2015 there were 65.3 million people forcibly displaced from their homes because of conflict and persecution. Developing countries hold 84% of refugees while wealthier countries like Australia prioritise the need to reduce asylum seekers within their borders. The current policy contravenes the proper treatment of refugees and asylum seekers; because regardless of their mode of entry, once here Australia has a duty to provide protection.

1. By keeping up with the organising of refugee protection activities such as “Refugee Right Protest” at Sydney Central and anti-racism rallies in Redfern Block, the ritual of demonstrations with specific issues helps people to relate and recognise Peter as a “refugee protector” and “anti-racism” over time. This “publicity” may also attract and gathers many refugee and aboriginal voters of Peter’s electorate.

The school is a private co-educational school from Kindergarten through to Year 12, located in the region of Sydney's Northern Beaches.
