Regulated Control In Australia

Since European colonisation began most Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders people has been on hardship. They were not granted citizenship rights until 1967 and waited until 1972 to be paid equal wages. During this colonisation period Aboriginal people has faced into many difficulties such as legal and political discrimination, social, cultural, loss their traditional languages, separation from families and children, abuse,

Australia…The Lucky Country, or so they thought. This act was racial, Australia were trying to create a white utopia, a paradox forged against the odds. Modern Australia is a multicultural Country, however, this wasn’t the plan, over 100 years ago, an act was put into place to create a White society. This was infuriating for the non – white and non – Europeans. This was called the Immigration Restriction act which is now known as the White Australian Policy (WAP). This changed the race of Australia’s face. In modern day Australia over 22 million people now live in this beautiful Country that has an equal society.

Stan Grant’s speech ‘Racism and the Australian Dream’ (2015) effectively reminds the Australian population of the racism and harsh inequalities indigenous Australians have faced in the past and still face today. In reminding us of this reality, Grant engages us to discover issues of civic participation in Aboriginal people and in doing so perpetuates a need for social change. More?

Focusing on skills in communities and getting the Indigenous out onto regular jobs with the opportunities in poor labour market. There is also talk about a welfare reform, which is stated by the government and helps abuse, family violence and community dysfunction. However the income coming in is at the interest of the children and provides better financial security for many mothers, grandmothers and other community members to raise and provide for their children. This is reforms starting to come in place however Australia Indigenous are in need of greater reforms like these ones to help provide more comfort for the

All over the world, races are still treated as inferior, even here in Australia. Though they officially and legally have the same rights as all other people, the Indigenous are still discriminated and mistreated. I have personally heard several stories about acts of racism towards Aboriginal individuals of whom I have met. The two men whom I met described the history of the indigenous people before and after the British arrival, giving me and others a first person view of life for their eyes, under the thumb of illegal and inconspicuous racism. But not all Aboriginals are treated so poorly, intentionally or otherwise. One of the greatest crisis befalling our country in the poverty in the Aboriginal communities of Australia. I am not saying that it is the fault of racism in the 21st century, but because of racism in the 20th. Because of their treatment as inferior, the indigenous people have been and still are suffering; health problems, social prejudice and housing. Of course, people are trying to stop this, to clean up the messes of our political predecessors, but others aren't. There is no one person to blame for all of this, but there is something. Discrimination towards someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior, or, racism. It changes people. It ruins lives. It creates conflict that can forever shape the lives of those

Potential issues of contention or challenges for this group in relation to Australian systems (What are the major issues faced in terms of for example, health, welfare, education, housing, law, income support?), and perceptions of responsibility and obligation (such as the role of the government and human services practice) in relation to this group.

According to the Australian Human Rights Commission, governments have not undertaken sufficient steps necessary to overcome the health inequality of Indigenous Australians. Since Kevin Rudd’s speech, there is still approximately a seventeen year gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australian life expectancy. Indigenous people have a greater burden of life threatening diseases, due to inaccessible and unaffordable treatments. Indigenous children also have higher rates of hearing loss, as a result of untreated diseases (T Calma, n.d.). The speech, was an attempt to spread awareness of these issues and to possibly overcome them. However, these statistics demonstrate how little action has been accomplished by the Australian Government, to provide equal rights and freedoms for the Indigenous Australians (L Behrendt,

The poor health position of Indigenous Australians is a contemporary reflection of their historical treatment as Australia’s traditional owners. This treatment has led to Indigenous Australians experiencing social disadvantages, significantly low socio-economic status, dispossession, poverty and powerlessness as a direct result of the institutionalised racism inherent in contemporary Australian society.

What is believed is that the government can not fully recover the liveliness of Indigenous people on its own and therefore Close the Gap has set up this campaign to work with the community, not-for-profit organisations and the government to make the changes that would improve Indigenous peoples in many ways. (Council of Australian Government, 2015)

At the turn of the twentieth century the systematic forced removal of Aboriginal children from their mothers, families and cultural heritage was commonplace. There were several reasons that the government and white society used to justify the separation but the prevailing ideology of nationalism and maintaining Australia for the ‘whites’ was the over-riding motivation and justification for their actions[1]. Progressive sciences such as anthropology espoused such theories as eugenics, miscegenation, biological absorption and assimilation which legitimated governmental policies relating to Aboriginal affairs[2]. It was

For the last 200 years Indigenous people have been victims of discrimination, prejudice and disadvantage. Poor education, poor living conditions and general poverty are still overwhelming issues for a large percentage of our people and we remain ‘as a group, the most poverty stricken sector of the working class’ in Australia (Cuthoys 1983).

It is a commonly known issue in Australia that as a minority group, the people of Indigenous Australian ethnicity have always been treated, or at least perceived, differently to those of non-Indigenous disposition. This can be applied to different contexts such as social, economic, education, or in relation to this essay – legal contexts. Generally, Indigenous Australians face issues such as less opportunity for formal education, less access to sufficient income, more health issues, and higher rates of imprisonment (Steering Committee for the Review of Government Service

Centrelink is an Australian government program that was developed in parliament and it is managed under the department of human services. Centrelink helps Australian people who are disability or faces crisis in their lives as well as providing basic needs or support they need. It delivers services and government payments for unemployed, children, families, Indigenous people, parents and students etc. Although it is a program that provides needs for people’s lives there is some weaknesses that falls under this organisation. To explain this weakness, this essay will highlight how Centrelink organisation can be ethical and sustainability through organisational culture, organisational structure and organisational context.

Electricity is a problematic commodity. Unlike other goods and services—be those vaccines, education or tennis rackets—the life of electricity is transient and without technology capable of storing it, supply must meet demand instantaneously. Due to the inherently unreliable nature of demand forecasts (e.g. an unexpected cold front leads to a demand spike as people turn on their heaters), the grid must also have the capacity to reach peak demand at all times. In addition to these complicated physical problems, the location of New Zealand’s largest demand centres compared largest generation centres means there are several infrastructural issues as well. This essay will briefly examine the industry’s regulatory history and discern how the Commerce Act 1986 fits into this regulatory context. The ability of Part 2 to control generators in net-pivotal situations will also be briefly scrutinized.
