Nonetheless, the procurement of the Collins Class Submarines has not been without criticism. The program has experienced various project management
All around the world, especially in third world countries, children are being forced to fight in wars and conflicts that they did not start, and they do not need to fight in. Today, it is estimated that over 300,000 children are enlisted in armies and militias around the world (Kaplan). These children are called child soldiers. A child soldier is classified as a person enlisted in an army or militia that is under the age of eighteen. (11 Facts). They are recruited into armies for many different reasons

The most prominent reason is that they will receive a tax cut from the government with the rate reduced from 28.5 per cent to 27.5 per cent. This means that over 870,000 small businesses who are employing over 3.4 million Australians will be affected as a result of this tax cut. This tax cut will benefit small businesses as it will allow them to focus on achieving their goals which include: Maximising profits, maximising sales and increasing market share without worrying about
along the course of the Kokoda trail. The campagin originated from an ambush by the Japanese onto the 39th Battalion at Awala whilst they tested the trail for a route of advance.

a vital Australian defence base, (Australian War Memorial). As an important town in Northern Australia, it was isolated from other major cities, so heavily relied on sea transport. In the 1930s when the war was beginning to develop, Australia began to build Darwin up as a military base, using it to send forces to help defend the Dutch East Indies. The port and airfield were improved, along with coastal defences on the beaches. As it was in such a strategic position, the Royal Australian Navy (RAN)

Within 10 weeks Japan controlled Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore and the Australian territory of new Britain (Rabaul). The Japanese thought that Darwin was a threat because the Allies ( their enemies ) were able to regroup in Darwin Harbour which it was a key defensive position
ships in Darwin's harbour and the town's two airfields in an attempt to prevent the Allies from using them as bases to fight the invasions of Timor and Java. Darwin was only lightly defended and the Japanese inflicted heavy losses upon the Allied forces at little cost to themselves. The more urban areas of Darwin also suffered some damage from the raids and there were a number of civilian casualties. In 1942, Darwin was a small town of 5,800 with limited civil and military infrastructure. Because
Federation is the joining of states to become one nation. The Australian government first considered federation in 1890 when premier Henry Parkes convinced other premiers to discuss federation in the Australasian Federation Convention. Australia finally federated in 1901 after many failed attempts at doing so. Australia finally federated because This essay will discuss two advantages of Australia federating and two disadvantages of Australia doing so. The advantages that will be outlined and discussed

The military is an example of organisational culture with subcultures such as Air Force, ARMY and Navy. Organisational cultural models suggest reinterpreting ethical differences as a product of different experiences rather than viewing conflicts as “right” verses “wrong.” Ethnocentrism is the tendency to view one’s own cultural groups

There were many allied vessels waiting in the Darwin harbour, however this was not very useful as the Japanese attacked by plane, making our artillery vulnerable(Salmon 2005). Our military forces should have been more prepared for this as there were some clear signs of a Japanese attack. On the 1st of January, 1942, a Japanese submarine was detected in the harbour. On the 20th of January, another Japanese submarine was sunk by HMAS Deloraine
violations of human rights in the world and sadly, one of the least prosecuted crimes. Did you know that on average, one woman is killed every week by a current or former partner in Australia? And one in four young Australians is exposed to domestic violence. In fact, one in three Australian women has experienced physical violence since the age of 15 at the hands of a man. This year alone more than 60 women have been killed by a partner or family member. These cold, hard, alarming statistics make it
