Australia and Indonesia are fairly different countries although they have a few things in common. In 2008, the statistics convey that Australia holds 21 million people whilst Indonesia has a population of 227 million. Due to the fact that Australia has a late land mass compared to the other country, the population density of 3 people per square km. Juxtaposing this fact, Indonesia’s population density is 125 people per square km, which is a given since Indonesia is a very small country with a large population. Evidently, Australians have more space and is less crammed unlike the crowded environment of Indonesia. Aside from this, both countries are free countries. The Indonesian population is granted just as much freedom to vote as the Australian
Therefore, it is clear that a monarchy in Australia should remain. Even though he led the Republican Movement for the 1999 referendum at the time, it has been stated explicitly by the Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull that a republican Australia will only occur if there is widespread public momentum for the change. Thus, there is today not enough interest in changing our system of government, so why bother with it if the people do not want it? Becoming a republic requires constitutional change, and thus means two-thirds of people in a majority of states must be supportive for a monarch to be replaced by a republic. Traditionally, senior citizens have not been in support of topics such as a republican movement; thus, those who emigrated from England and the United Kingdom would predominantly reject a republic. Hence, the younger generations in society are the citizens in which usually are more divisive or willing to all options. “Many young Australians just don’t see the point of conducting a referendum.” These young Australians also hold the belief that by becoming a republic, the financial detriment will prove to be far too much of a burden and are not in favour of the switch to an untried system from one in which functions effectively now. Moreover, since Australia has always been with the Commonwealth, and having been required
There is an argument in the article “Telling Americans to Vote, or Else”, that is written by William A. Galston. The article states that voting should be necessary for everyone. The author contrasts American voting with Australian voting. In the text, it says,

China also has 14 border countries including Afghanistan and India as well as the Yellow Sea, and the South China Sea. While Australia is smaller, but on its own continent, it rests between the Indian Ocean and the South Pacific Ocean, and fortunately does not have any border line countries. The population of China sits on a large 1,393,783,836, while Australia is on 23 688 377. Both the countries share several common factors, one being the fact that most of the population lives near the coastline, due to the climate. The climate of China is extremely diverse, and more tropical towards the South. While Australia is generally arid, meaning little
Australia and the world experienced many social and cultural changes due to the emergence of television and rock and roll music. From 1945 Australia has been influenced by both England and America in its values. This study will discuss and analyse Australia’s popular culture via music and explain patterns of continuity and change in values that have influenced the Australian way of life. This essay will, by comparing the two songs “I got rhythm”,1930 composed by George Gershwin with lyrics by Ira Gershwin (SecondHandSongs, 2016) and “Land Down Under”, 1982 by Men At Work (Metrolyrics, 2016) , demonstrate the relationship between the values of different time periods by comparing and contrasting the type of language used, who the audience is, what the themes of the songs are, the values of the song and historical change and continuity.

In Australia the young adults “are less likely to be enrolled to vote than older groups. An estimated 300,000 Australians aged 18 to 25 do not vote in elections because they have not enrolled” (31,2006). While in the United States, “19% of all votes cast in 2012 came from young voters” (2016). While voting does not effect young children since they cannot vote, however when teens vote it allows them to become more educated in their country and their political system. Since most of the teens in Australia do not vote, they do not have copious amount of knowledge from their countries political system. Having this knowledge will allow students to use this knowledge in their school life helping them understand history and government
The relationship between Indigenous Australians and the law is an issue of widespread concern. For years, indisputably Indigenous Australians have been well over-represented within the criminal justice system, more than any other social group as both offenders and victims. Despite accounting for less than three per cent (3%) of the overall population of Australia, Indigenous Australians make up forty per cent (40%) of those imprisoned (Australian Institute of Criminology. (2015). pp.1). Data on police litigation against offenders demonstrated that Indigenous Australians are approximately fourteen times more likely to be incarcerated than non-Indigenous people, with Indigenous Australians offending at a significantly higher rate of 1 in 10 (The
