Malabar has been through its share of names. It has been called Brand, Long Bay, and by the Aboriginal people, Boora. This south-eastern suburb of Sydney was once set aside for the Church and Schools Corporation where any income/revenue that was generated was used to support teachers and clergy. It wasn’t until the early 1900s that this suburb began to grow as a residential area. Today, it’s primarily a residential area, with large acreage dedicated to the ANZAC Rifle Range, Long Bay Correctional Centre, and the Randwick Golf Course. Who lives in Malabar?

Besides the high crime rate that has been given by England. Australia also shares a similar culture with England. The people speak English with a similar axsent of England’s. People also eat a lot of the same foods that people in England eat. The type of government in Australia is also the same, except Australia has a prime minister, not a king, or
In the evaluation of why Britain colonised Botany Bay, Australia, one can draw on many conclusions. When the First Fleet arrived at Botany Bay in January 1788, little did they realise that for years to come historians would be contesting the real reasons as to why the British Parliament planned to establish a colony in Botany Bay. The Botany Bay debate, as it has been known to be called, began among historians in the 1950’s when Geoffrey Blainey said that it was colonised for strategic motives#. These motives included such plans as there was a plant nursery to be established on Norfolk Island and Australia was to become a flax farm and a market garden that was to be surrounded by goal walls; there had been a failure of the growing of flax and pine on Norfolk Island, this at first had been very promising; and that flax and timber were vital to Britains economy as explained by the British Politicians in many letters. Along with Blainey’s argument came another debate, this being that Botany Bay, was colonised as it was a good outpost for trading purposes. The traditional view in the debate was that Botany Bay was the chosen place for the convict population and it is this traditional view that my argument will follow.
Our current flag suggests that as a country, we value Great Britain more highly than our own native people. Yet when the AGB conducted a nation-wide survey it discovered that 66% of those polled supported elements of the Aboriginal flag appearing on a new Australian flag. This is another example of our current flag not representing Australians.
Australia is a relatively young country; only becoming a unified nation in 1901 (Commonwealth of Australia, 2012). A young country is no different from a young person; identity is an issue. Questions of who am I and where do I fit in the world are asked, and unfortunately not often answered until a tragedy occurs. National identity is a sense of a nation and its people as a connected whole. This feeling of cohesiveness can be shaped by many events in a nation’s history but none more so than war. War is a stressful, traumatic affair that changes forever, not only the people that go to it but the nation as a whole. Many consider the Great War Australia’s tragedy where we became a nation (Bollard, 2013) with our own modern identity.
Over 926 000 Australians fought in WW2, three times as many as in WW1. Of those 33 000 died, only half as many as in WW1.

The suburban house, as the film’s setting and sphere of action, is extraordinary partly because it is ‘next-door’ to an airport. The odd layout of this backyard is underlined because their suburb meets the kind of architectural cast-offs often found at the margins of big cities. This mix of the humble backyard with the international vectors of travel, tourism and international trade plays out in the film’s narrative which connects the domestic and the distant. The Castle displays many locations and landscapes easily identified as being unique of Australia- The ‘Aussy’ barbeque and patio setup, greyhound racetrack and poolroom, just to name a few. The neighbours of the Kerrigan’s are a symbol representing the multicultural diversi...

This is not the case for the Australian flag. A Union Jack, the Southern Cross and the Commonwealth Star, are all elements that represent Great Britain. These symbols may be important to those with a British background, however, it does not include those of other backgrounds. Australia is a diverse society with 50% of people born overseas and 20% of Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders (2016 census) with a 2.2% annual growth rate (www.abs.gov.au). This leaves out the majority of the population. A flag should represent a nation proudly and honorably, but when the majority of the people are left out, does this suggest that we are not satisfied with the citizens in this modern country? Although the Australian flag is not a precise representation of modern Australia, the Union Jack is still relevant to today’s society. The Union Jack depicts the convict past of our nation and British settlement of this nation. To make this flag represent modern Australia, our diverse cultural needs to be shown through the Australian
There can be no gainsaying, as to the fact that Australia is not only a choice destination for many, but also houses some of the most beautiful cities in the world (Bastian, 2012). As a matter of fact, Bastian (2012) continues to state that this change is strongly attributed to immigration, which continues to foster strong cultural and economic growth in Australia. As Australia continues to open its borders to an increasingly diverse population, Australians themselves continue to open their minds to accommodate diversity in the form of new lifestyles, foods, traditions, values, beliefs and so forth (Bastian, 2012). According to Henry & Kurzak (2013), the 2011 census show that 26% of Australians were born abroad and 20% have either one or both

Canada, New Zealand, and Italy are just some of the various countries that countless members of the Australian parliament hold a dual citizenship in. Scott Ludlam, Larissa Waters, Malcolm Roberts, and many more, have been caught up in the scandal surrounding dual citizenship. Yesterday, Nationals leader and Deputy Prime Minister, Barnaby Joyce, was added to the ever-growing list which also includes Matt Canavan and John Alexander. Section 44(i) of the Australian Constitution says anyone with citizenship belonging to a foreign power is incapable of sitting as a senator or a member of the House of Representatives. Despite being clearly stated, many senators are admitting to holding dual citizenship and being in breach of Section 44(i).
Problems Facing Australia We, Australian citizens are very lucky to live in such a privileged country. country privileged by the fact that we have a stable government, have. some arable land, have decent infrastructures in our society and are a wealthy country. But this does not mean that there are not any problems in these areas and Australia should be wary about some of these issues, internally and externally.
1. Disposable Income: There is increase in disposable income, observed in both rural and urban consumers, which is giving opportunity to many rural consumers to shift from traditional unorganized unbranded products to branded FMCG products and urban fraternity to splurge on value added and lifestyle products. The increasing salaries, along with rising trend of perks in the corporate sector at regular intervals, have increased people’s spending power. As per some research, there is a high correlation between Disposable per capita and HPC per capita.
