Abstract
This paper investigates the environmental cause of melanoma in Australia and the disease itself. It describes the skin cancer moles, the progression of the disease and its effects on the human body. The paper examines the reasons for the high rate of melanoma in Australia, such as the depletion of the ozone layer, global warming, and the fair skinned people of Australia.
From the Paper
"The ?land down under? is under siege. The enemy ravishing Australia?s inhabitants is not an invader from a foreign country, but rather it is a voracious skin disease called Melanoma. In fact, the highest instances of Melanoma in the world can be found in Australia. The factors leading up to this outbreak can easily be attributed to geography, the environment, and genetics but perhaps the most distressing dynamic can be assigned to the sun worshipping victims themselves."

Abstract
This paper discusses how although Australia is in essence a democratic society which subscribes to the democratic principle of government by the people for the people, there are some areas of Australia that can be improved to make Australia more democratic. It focuses on two of these areas: the whistle-blowing system and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation's ability to publicise scientific information or opinions on government policy issues. The paper argues that by altering the current state of these areas, Australia could become more democratic. It does this by explaining why these areas are important in the building or maintenance of democracy in Australia, how they are being threatened and what could be done to eliminate these threats and change these areas into their potential democratic base.
From the Paper
"It has recently been found that the Australian Government has been censoring the publication of scientific information. Specifically; scientific information related to policy-issues such as greenhouse gas emission targets and environmental refugees. These allegations were aired on ABCs television show 4 corners and claimed senior Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) scientists have been regularly gagged by the government from commenting on such issues. This information came from senior CSIRO scientists who have also explained that the threat of reduced funding was the strategy used in stopping them from speaking out. Scientific censorship of any sort by the government is a serious breach of democratic principles. "

Abstract
This paper reviews the issue of deposit insurance banking in Australia. According to the paper, Australia does not currently have systems of financial regulation which include deposit insurance. The paper discusses the recommendation made by Australia's Council of Financial Regulators (CFR) to introduce a deposit insurance scheme.
Outline:
Introduction
Current Regulations of the APRA/ Powers of the APRA
Explicit Deposit Insurance - Advantages
Explicit Deposit Insurance - Disadvantages
Disadvantages of Explicit Deposit Insurance
Does Australia Need the System Proposed by the CFR?
Summary and Conclusion
From the Paper
"According to the government in Australia who has identified an issue that it states "would arise on closure of a distressed financial institution, it has also identified an issue which would arise on closure of a distressed financial institution. In these circumstances, there is currently no mechanism for providing depositors/policy holders with access to their funds on a timely basis. While the relevant legislation give depositors/policyholders first claim on the assets of a failed institution, it makes no provision for timely payments. Given the lengthy nature of the wind-up process, it could take many months, or even years, before funds are available for distribution." (Council of Financial Regulators - Failure and Crisis Management in the Australian Financial System 2006) This would be expected to results in financial hardship for many homes and businesses and place a great deal of pressure on the Government to "do something". (Council of Financial Regulators - Failure and Crisis Management in the Australian Financial System, 2006) The Council states that this "is an inappropriate outcome both for the more vulnerable members of society" (Ibid) as well as for the Government. The Council states that it is: "not attracted to the cumbersome pre-funded deposit insurance and financial system guarantee schemes found in other countries."

Abstract
This essay details Australian colonization (beginning with the First Fleet in 1788) and settlement by the British through to the early 1900s. It examines the changing relationship between the two countries after WWII. Post WWII, the USA took over from Britain as the biggest investor in Australia and thereafter, Australia?s political allegiance changed to the US. The relationship between Britain and Australia is still extraordinarily strong, but it is not the same relationship that existed for so long during Australia?s early years under European settlement. The essay looks at the present-day economic, political and cultural ties between the two countries.
From the Paper
"What have been the most important historical features of the relationship between Australia and Britain? How important is the Australia-Britain relationship for Australia today? How important is the Australia-Britain relationship for Britain today? Colonization of Australia by Britain began in 1788, officially to set up a penal colony but also to establish a trading base in the Pacific. It started with the arrival of the First Fleet of about 250 marines and 730 convicts at Port Jackson, and the establishment of Sydney Town and the colony of New South Wales."

Abstract
In order to make a judgement of the physics viability of nuclear power as an energy source for Australia, this paper explains how nuclear energy is produced, disposed of, sourced, and maintained in light of Australia's unique environment and population distribution. The paper discusses the efficiency of using nuclear energy as well as Australia's huge availability of uranium and its ample waste storage space. The paper concludes that nuclear energy is definitely a viable method of energy for Australia but recommends that stringent laws and regulations be made to enforce adequate training of nuclear staff to minimise the risk of disasters. The paper includes a diagram of how nuclear power is produced and a map of mining locations in Australia.
From the Paper
"Nuclear energy is generated by the fission of the uranium 235 isotope. U-235 is the ideal fuel for power generation because it is able to sustain a chain reaction and release energy. Uranium for fuelling nuclear generators is mined in Australia as low-grade ore. Only 0.3% of this ore is pure uranium, and after crushing, chemical treatment and concentration, only 0.7% of this residual is the required U-235 isotope. In order to ensure an induced chain reaction is sustainable, this nuclear fuel needs to be enriched (i.e. concentrated) so that the U-235 concentration is approximately 5%. (Rapkins, Rossiter, Walding, 1999)"

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The new federation quickly moved towards the institutionalization of its economic and socio-political and industrial revampment for the perusal of prosperity. What followed was governance that gained popularity for its liberal legislation.
Australia immediately instituted high protective tariffs in order to restrain competition to Australian infant industry. This gave a major head start to the Australian industrial development, a form of supplementation for the infant industry to develop without facing any unhealthy competitions until its ready for the world market. In the next two decades many important enactments were ratified. Most notably, Pacific Island Laborer's Act 1901, Immigration restriction Act 1901, Commonwealth Franchise Act 1902, Judiciary Act 1903, Conciliation and Arbitration Act 1904, Supreme Court Ordinance no. 9 of 1911, Commonwealth Electoral Act 1924 and Belfour Declaration 1926. In fact, the two decades of legal formulation serve as a milestone of Australian development as an industry, society, government and economy. The Laborer's Act of 1901 was enacted to deport a vast majority of the Pacific Islanders by December 1907."

Abstract
The paper proposes that in a world increasingly controlled by technology, the government of Australia has also recognized the importance of the Internet in people's daily lives. The paper further examines how, in response to private industry's success in creating a virtual marketplace, citizens have started to create a demand for virtual abilities within the governmental parts of their lives. The paper explains how the idea of an e-government, or a government accessible through the Internet, is showing up in counties worldwide. The study intends to explore the concept of e-governance in Australia. In addition, the paper attempts to explore the impact that such a system has on Australian citizens.

From the Paper
"E-governance is becoming widespread as well as widely accepted by government bodies and administrations. The rapid spread and assimilation of technology into global society has fostered an environment for the efficient use of it for government and civil purposes. "Rationalities of e-government are replete with ideas of networks, joined up governing one-stop shops, individualised service delivery, and government transparencies" (Henman & Dean 2004, p.2). Therefore, e-governance is the creation of a network of information and databases for use by both public officials as well as citizens in order to capitalize on technological advances to improve the processes of governmental systems."

Abstract
This paper examines the climate threat of global warming on three different levels. First, on a local level, it examines the climate in Brisbane, Australia, a city that has experienced considerate climactic upheaval in recent years. Second, it examines the climate of Australia as a whole, a hot continent once renowned for its position below the largest hole in the ozone layer. Third, it examines the global climate. The paper maintains that, at local, national and international levels, climate threats are a very important, current concern. The paper concludes that, though climate threat has represented itself in Australia and Brisbane primarily under the guise of drought, heat, and decreased rain levels, on a global level this threat is represented by a wider variety of problems.

Introduction
The Local Community: Brisbane
Throughout the Nation: Australia

Maps (Appendix 1-3)
From the Paper
"The map of Brisbane (Appendix 1) demonstrates the water shortage problem in Brisbane. Climactically, this is one of Brisbane's biggest threats, as the city turns to the possibility of recycling sewage for drinking water. Light scattered rainfall is observable on the map south of Brisbane, towards the Gold Coast, in the Beenleigh, Logan and Coomera regions - though this rain stops short of Southport. Queensland mainland to the north of the map is experiencing no rain - a problem which has plagued farmers in the region for some time. Brisbane and the Greater Brisbane Area (Archerfield and Boondall) are also experiencing no rain. Scattered showers are continually hitting the same areas around Brisbane - the Gold Coast and some of the islands off the coast. The same local areas (Brisbane, and inland and north Queensland) are continually suffering, on the other hand, from high temperatures and no water."

Reconciliation in Australia, 2005.
A look at some of the attempts by Australia to break down the barriers between the Australians and their indigenous people.

Abstract
The indigenous people of Australia have inhabited the land for over 40,000 years making Australia's indigenous people one of the oldest cultures in the world. It was through 200 years of colonization that indigenous Australian's experienced the decimation and eradication of their people and culture through the process of assimilation. This paper looks at how Australia as a nation is taking responsibility for the injustices that indigenous people have injured with the development of reconciliation. It examines how the citizens of Australia are coming together working towards breaking down the barriers, which have segregated and alienated Indigenous people from society. It also examines how all Australians are being encouraged to be part of the solution rather than the problem to reunite differences through acceptance and acknowledgement and education.
From the Paper
"Reconciliation in Australia is about welcoming, acknowledging and understanding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. 'Reconciliation is about the merging of two versions of the past, bringing together two perspectives of one history' (Grattan, M 2000 p.8). It's through the process of understanding that Australians learn about the Indigenous peoples interpretation of Australia through their culture for example the beauty behind the Dreamtime that explains how the spirit ancestors who roamed the earth to create the landforms, which are the centenals of our existence. There is a wealth of knowledge and thousands of years of proven environmental and ecological diversity and harmony, which Non-indigenous Australian's could acknowledge, respect and learn. Reconciliation can be the gateway with which all Australians benefit."

Setting Aside of Contracts in U.S. and Australia, 2007.
A comparison of the setting aside of contracts in the United States and Australia.

Abstract
While the United States and Australia are literally a world apart geographically, the two countries share much in common today, including the English language; a legacy of British influence, customs and traditions; a comparable constitution; and, more importantly for the purposes of this discussion, the common law. The research shows that the respective contract laws that evolved over time in these two countries share this heritage, but some important differences have emerged that can make the difference between a successful contract and a failed one. Given the importance of timely and equitable adjudication of contracts of all types today, though, it is therefore important to understand when these legally binding instruments can be set aside and for what reasons. To this end, this paper provides the relevant background and a discussion of how and why contracts can be set aside in Australia and the United States. This is followed by a summary of the research and salient findings in the conclusion.

From the Paper
"In fact, the legal system used in the United States and in most of the member states of the Commonwealth of Nations, including Australia, in based on this body of common law. As a result, common law is differentiated from formal rules that were developed by the separate acts of equity, to statute law (i.e., the acts of legislative bodies), and to the legal system derived from civil law that is now more popular in continental Europe and elsewhere (Kiralfy 2006)."

Abstract
This paper explains that Australia is underpopulated as far as its size, but over two-thirds of the population resides in any one of the ten major cities on the coast, which makes Australia one of the most urbanized counties in the world. The author points out that, even though the national language in Australia is English, the accent, style of speaking, and parts of the traditional vocabulary greatly differ from American English and is slightly difficult to get a grasp of in the beginning. The paper lists many social customs: Hand shakes are a common way to greet someone, Australians are keen on answering their invitations at the first possible moment, and an invitation to a dinner, even by a friend or a peer, usually means separate checks.

From the Paper
"Australia is the smallest continent in the world, isolated from the other continents and has a wide variety of landscapes. It was founded by the British in 1788 and first named it as Sydney. Its original inhabitants, called the Aborigines, were only a few hundred thousands before large groups of Europeans began arriving and settling there, particularly after the discovery of gold in the mid-19th century. After two centuries of discrimination and expropriation, the Aborigines were reduced as few as 60,000. Today, 99% of Australia's population is European or Asian, while the descendants of the indigenous Australians must contend with high unemployment rates, imprisonment and drug abuse charges."
