Memory of the World Register - Nominated Documentary Heritage - Landmark Constitutional Documents of the Commonwealth of Australia - Australia This is a collection of documents charting the evolution of Australia as one of the world’s most stable and long-lived democracies, an internationally viewed model of democratic experimentation, and the first country in the world to be created through the free vote of its people. The film is the product and evidence of the fact that Australia was the first nation to be born in front of a movie camera, an event which took place on the very first day of the twentieth century — a new nation for a new century. At the beginning of the twentieth century, when the Australian nation was established, Australia was viewed internationally as an exciting model of democratic experimentation for a new century. www.unesco.org /webworld/mdm/2001/nominations_2001/australia/constitution/constitution_form.html   (1759 words)

Shofar FTP Archives: orgs/australian/anti_defamation_commission/Campbell.0105 By May 2001, after acknowledging that Australia First was truly an impotent political force, Campbell decided to bury the hatchet and return to the One Nation fold, declaring his intention to stand as a One Nation candidate. Rebuild a united Australia Forging ties with One Nation Perceiving Australia First not as a party in the “conventional sense”, but rather as an “alliance of like-minded independents”, Campbell sought to forge parliamentary ties with fellow Independents, including Pauline Hanson. The paper was later disseminated by Australia First with a cover note by Campbell which championed the paper as essential in demolishing the “orthodox drivel” on immigration. www.vex.net /~nizkor/ftp.cgi/orgs/australian/ftp.py?orgs/australian/anti_defamation_commission/Campbell.0105   (1903 words)

Laurie Brereton on "One Nation" “The racist One Nation party appears to be thin on the ground in Kingsford-Smith, but no one should underestimate their threat to Australia’s social cohesion and cultural diversity”, the Federal Member for Kingsford-Smith, Laurie Brereton, said following the publication today of One Nation’s secret membership list by the Australia/Israel Review. “There is no surprise that only a handful of One Nation members can be found in Kingsford-Smith, one of the most culturally diverse electorates in Australia with more than 36 per cent of residents speaking a language other than English in the home. But if they choose to join a racist party such as One Nation, a party which threatens to inflict grave harm on Australia’s social cohesion and national interests, they shouldn’t complain when the political spotlight is turned on them.” www.join.org.au /media/brereton.htm   (1903 words)

The Global Encyclopedia : Hotels : Travel During the 19th century, many new states were added to the original thirteen as the nation expanded across the North American continent and acquired a number of overseas possessions. Two of the major traumatic experiences in the nation's history were the American Civil War ( 1861 - 65) and the Great Depression of the 1930s. Buoyed by victories in World War I and World War II and the end of the Cold War in 1991, the U.S. remains the world's most powerful nation-state. united-states.asinah.net /american-encyclopedia/wikipedia/n/na/nationa...   (438 words)

Australian Foreign Policy Australia has also moved far from its early framework within the British Empire and the Commonwealth, though Australia still cooperates with this grouping in areas of human rights and development. This has lead to a strong concern, as repeatedly articulated by former Foreign Minister Gareth Evans, that Australia should be a 'good international citizen'. This suggests that the essential elements or ingredients or constraints of foreign policy - whatever one wishes to call them - are also the factors which determine the 'power' of any nation to pursue its will. www.international-relations.com /wbip/wblec2.htm   (7798 words)

The Foundations Of Culture In Australia: An Essay Towards National Self-Respect. Part Three Australia colonised by the Japanese would nevertheless become a great nation—one of the leading nations of the earth—and thus eventually would be serious rival to the Mother Japan of the Northern Hemisphere. If Australia’s population has increased only slowly, it is because we are, and have been for a hundred years, a nation of shepherds. In a world gone militaristically mad, we in Australia can provide an asylum of culture, probably with our present population, but most decidedly so if our population were doubled or quadrupled. www.alphalink.com.au /~radnat/stephensen/prs6.html   (11696 words)

Soccer in Australia Australia would be guaranteed a place at the Finals, as the host nation is not required to qualify for the event. As the soccer season takes place outside of both the rugby league and Australian football seasons, it does not have to compete against those sports, which are among the most popular ones in Australia. Australia is a very sports oriented nation, who loves to play sports and loves even more to watch it. www.ausport.gov.au /fulltext/1999/cjsm/v3n1/kobe31.htm   (3988 words)

Did New York Orchestrate The Asian Tsunami? Accordingly, Tim Costello, head of one of Australia's largest charities, made immediate plans to fly to the area and assess the need for aid. To the intense displeasure of many of his Australian "subjects", Little Johnny never makes a move outside Australia unless he first receives explicit instructions from one of his New York minders. On the morning of 27 December, the Australian (New York owned) media was making it very clear that the most badly hit nation in the region was Sri Lanka, an island at the southern tip of India, which like Australia is a member nation of the British Commonwealth. www.vialls.com /subliminalsuggestion/tsunami.html   (200 words)

SatireWire Australia Gets Drunk, Wakes Up in North Atlantic According to Australians and residents of several countries destroyed or lewdly insulted during the continent's nearly 7,000-mile saltwater stagger, the binge began just after noon yesterday at a pub in Brisbane, where several patrons were discussing Australia Day and the nation's general lack of respect from abroad. When Caballos shouted to the fleeing country that it had not paid, Australia "accidentally" backed up and took out every nation in the region, as well as the northern third of Venezuela.

Australia: Former PM Fraser calls for coalition Former Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser has called for a grand coalition of the Liberal and Labor parties in the event that the right-wing One Nation party holds the balance of power after the next federal election. Faced with opposition from One Nation and a threatened revolt from within the ranks of the National Party, the junior partner in the coalition government, the cabinet decided that no more than 49 percent would be sold, and then only after an inquiry. The biggest policy blow to Prime Minister Howard is the decision not to proceed with the 100 percent privatisation of Telstra, the telecommunications organisation. www.wsws.org /news/1998/july1998/how-j28.shtml   (641 words)

The Review - Way out in the West In fact, Campbell’s Australia First party, which was recently de-registered, leading to his switch to One Nation, was in large part an attempt to fulfil Butler’s vision of a "grassroots movement" around Campbell. In 1998, the party gained a Senate seat there easily, though a court later found that the One Nation candidate, Heather Hill, was ineligible because she was still a British citizen. Moreover, while Hanson has ostensibly made up with Campbell and the new leadership of her party, the fact is she is losing control of the party to the West Australian branch, which is the new national party headquarters, and especially to allies of Mr Campbell. www.aijac.org.au /review/2001/268/campbell268.html   (2819 words)

Australia Australia willingly participated in World War I; the defeat of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZACs) at Gallipoli is often regarded as the birth of the nation: the first major military action that the Commonwealth of Australia participated in. Australia's links to its British past are increasingly tenuous and since the election of the Whitlam Government in 1972 there has been an increasing focus by many Australian governments on the nation's future as a part of the Asia-Pacific region.
