operations are spread across the world originating the necessity of having analogous regulatory framework in order to facilitate operations. Australian Defence Force (ADF), driven by the same aim, has developed the Defence Aviation Safety Regulations (DASRs) derived from the European Military Airworthiness Requirements (EMARs). Moreover, the European Defence Agency (EDA) has pioneered the interoperability area by establishing a recognition

Executive Summary The program to design and construct the Collins Class Submarine has become one of the most complex and expensive Defence procurement programs in history. It was devised to replace the existing Oberon submarine fleet. The Collins Class Submarine program demonstrated the capacity of Australian industry to manufacture a world-class submarine. 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
me- I will die for the freedom of Kosova,” says sixteen year old Elinda Muriqie (Mazurana). Elinda was one of the many abducted children at a young age. LRA’s keep a three step system in order to brainwash young children into becoming part of the force in Uganda, if they refuse to go then the soldiers will kidnap the child no matter how old the child is. The first step in brainwashing the children is to abandon all hope of returning home (Mazurana). After hope is lost in the mind of the child, then

From 1942 until early 1944, Australian forces, especially Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders played a key role in the Pacific War forming the majority of Allied strength throughout the South West Pacific. Aboriginal and Torres Strait islanders affected Australia’s World War Two efforts in their extended volunteering and willingness to fight and die in the war. Aboriginal people were a crucial part of defending the Australian home front, in which they had limited or no rights
Australian Parliamentary Essay Australia became an independent nation on January 1, 1901 when the British Parliament passed certain legislation allowing the six Australian colonies to regulate their own authority as part of the Commonwealth of Australia. The Commonwealth of Australia was established, and remains as, a constitutional monarchy, meaning that it was founded with a written constitution, and that the Australian head of state is also head of the Commonwealth (Queen Elizabeth II.) The
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. On the 23rd July 1942, the Papuan Infantry Battalion and the 39th Australian Infantry Battalion were attacked by Japanese testing feasibility of the trail to take Port Moresby, of which was the only airfield in between the airfield in the village of Kokoda and the Japanese base at Buna. While still infantry, the 39th Battalion-
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)
Australia and the Allied Forces in the Pacific. This essay evaluates the significance of the Battle of Kokoda through its strategic importance, the conditions the soldiers underwent, and its wider implications for the Pacific War. The battle prevented the Japanese from capturing Port Moresby, which would have allowed them to launch further assaults on Australia and disrupt Allied supply lines. The harsh conditions of the battle tested the resilience and endurance of the Australian soldiers. The broader
Indochina (a federation of French colonies and protectorates in South East Asia). In December 1941 Japan bombed the Americans at Pearl Harbour and entered the Second World War. 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
TRESPASS TO THE PERSON Overview Under the Australian common law, rights-based trespass is an intentional tort which protects the personal and physical autonomy and integrity of individuals.

This is what could have happened to any eligible Australian male, twenty years and over. It was called conscription. Conscription is when a selective group of citizens are forcefully obliged to fight in war due to shortages of soldiers. Conscription was first introduced in Australia in 1942 during World
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

Other matters in Australian and Indonesian societies were also built around terrorism, execution, trade and defence; however, with all these setbacks the commentators were still keen to view Australia and Indonesia as natural allies. Indonesia’s executions of Andrew He states that most Australians view Indonesia ‘as an undemocratic, militaristic, aggressive power’ (p.16). This demonstrates that the executions formed a shift in the attitudes of citizens and the Australian leaders. Due to these
