The early 1900s were significantly racist towards, mainly, anyone who didn’t have white skin. Dear editor, I believe that the White Australia Policy is incredibly reflected in racism, discrimination, and exclusion towards non-Europeans. In fact, the early 1900s displayed the irrational fear that nonwhite immigrants are ultimately immature and racist, this was displayed through the Attorney-General Alfred Deakin. Deakin believed that the non-white Australians were ‘alien’ and this was simply unfair. Thus, I write to you today, to consider the following arguments against the Natal test as well as the White Australia Policy. Alfred Deakin, a prominent figure in Australian politics of the 1900s and a massive supporter of the White Australia policy. …show more content…
I do believe that the beliefs of Alfred Deakin caused communities to be torn apart and individuals to be completely ostracized. It is critical that we recognise the harm done by these policies and seek to create a society that is more inclusive and equitable as we face the realities of the past. As we learn from the past, let's make a commitment to breaking down barriers, celebrating diversity, and promoting harmony. We can only fully achieve the promise of a just and fair Australia for all of its citizens by rejecting the legacies of prejudice and discrimination that were caused by the White Australia Policy and Alfred Deakin. I believe this is a significantly better option. Now, Australia is advertised a lot about being multicultural and accepting but during the 1900s the dictation test, known as the Natal Test, was a form of exclusion upon non-Europeans. It consisted of a male speaker who said words in English and whoever sitting the test had to write the words in any given European language like, Latin, French, or Italian. This was discriminatory in every way and exceptionally unfair to whoever sat the test as they had a slim chance of
Various international treaties and conventions (e.g. International Narcotics Control Board), has provided Australia with guidelines and regulatory measures that the Commonwealth government must put into action within the criminal justice system. Australia became a part of significant treaties and conventions to uphold strong alliances with other nations (Such as the U.S.). The preparedness of Australian Governments to sign these various treaties, and modify domestic drug laws accordingly, seems largely
(Cohen). The media often constructs moral panic in a stereotypical sense around criminal events and these panics are targeted towards youth. The outcome of moral panic is the government will respond by introducing new laws or policies that prevent criminal behaviour. Today, Australia is known as a multicultural society, however this has created clashes in moral codes between different ethnicities. The media has created a moral panic targeted at a specific group, ethnic youth. In order to understand how
experiences of Ms. Garimara's mother Molly (Everlyn Sampi) who was 14 at the time of the movie, her 8-year-old sister Daisy (Tianna Sansbury), and their 10-year-old cousin Gracie (Laura Monaghan). All three are mixed-race children fathered by itinerant white fence workers commonly referred to as “Half Casts” throughout the film. The film discusses themes surrounding the stolen generation highlighting the anguish experienced by mothers whose children were taken in an attempt to breed out the indigenous
This paper will illustrate three theories; deterrence theory, rational choice theory, and restorative justice theory. It will outline in detail the policies, and the connections between theory, research, and policy. Deterrence theory can be outlined as “principles of certainty, severity, and celerity of punishment, proportionality, specific and general deterrence” (Burke, 2009). In order for the punishment to be effective it has to be certain, swift, severe. Certainty is more important than the
those who choose to accept them, some of the programs provide different services such as, counseling groups, education classes about the risk of using contaminated syringes, free medical visits, and HIV testing. On the other hand, some people may be against these types of programs because they are allowing injection drug users to continue to use drugs. Another reason why people may not be as accepting of the needle exchange programs is due to the fact that these programs are government funded. The study
expand outside of the continent. When America expanded to the Philippines, the policy it followed was a stark break from past forms of expansionism. Despite much controversy, America followed the example of the imperialistic nations in Europe and sought to conquer the Philippines as an imperialist colony that they would rule either directly or indirectly. Throughout its development, America has molded its expansionist policies, which it confined to the North American continent. The ordinances of 1784
NATURAL JUSTICE Natural justice concerns human rights e.g. a right to procedure Denial of natural justice is a ground of review against an administrative decision: ADJR Act ss.5(1)(a), 5(1)(h)(3), 6(1)(a) and 6(1)(h)(3) => ss.5(1)(a) is a distinct and independent ground of review Natural Justice usually applies to courts, and Procedural Fairness is the issue when extended to administrative bodies. Procedural fairness 1 The three rules: hearing rule, the bias rule and the no evidence
Racial Prejudice in British Immigration Policy Introduction The purpose of this paper is that to highlight what I see as racist, unjust and inhumane elements in Britain’s immigration system and the culture of secrecy surrounds it. The permanent residents (who has indefinite leave to remain), central to this discussion not the illegal immigrants and bogus asylum seekers. Also immigration’s treatments of people coming over to Britain for a range of other reasons and with papers and visas they expect
History of Homeschooling “The home-schooling movement, the unprecedented parental rebellion which erupted in the late '70s against our monolithic government school systems, stands as one of the most significant educational developments of the century. The number of American children being taught at home, although minuscule compared to public school enrollments, had grown by the late 1990s from near zero to a near million” (Wagner, 2001, p. 58). Indeed, the rise of homeschooling is one of
Contending versions of the Vietnam War and the antiwar movement began to develop even before the war ended. The hawks' version, then and now, holds that the war was winnable, but the press, micromanaging civilian game theorists in the Pentagon, and antiwar hippies lost it. . . . The doves' version, contrarily, remains that the war was unwise and unwinnable no matter what strategy was employed or how much firepower was used. . . Both of these versions of the war and the antiwar movement as they have

tale ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’. I immediately tried to blank all thoughts of ‘Happy’, ‘Dopey’, ‘Sneezey’, ‘Bashful’, ‘Sleepy’, ‘Grumpy’ and ‘Doc’, but this proved harder than expected. How do you go about renaming, individualising and illustrating characters that are so firmly ensconced in the memories of children all over the world? Disney’s monopolising of the fairy/folk tale genre and mass marketing of the characters as toys appeared to limit my options of adapting the ‘Snow White’ story to
Surviving as an Immigrant Meena Alexannder in her novel Manhattan Music says, "Immigrants are like that - our spiritual flesh scooped up from here and there. All our memories are sizzling. But we need another. Another is for the electricity. So we can live."(154) The concept of 'home' has become a question for immigrants. They have an experience of leaving home and how leaving home changes them. This program from the known habitation to the unknown place contains many difficulties. The immigrants
