Credit Points 16.7 2nd and 3rd year Coordinator Michael Crozier Prerequisites Normally 25 points of first-year Politics; students with only 12.5 points in Politics may apply to the 2nd/3rd-year coordinator. Semester Contact Two 1-hour lectures and a 1-hour tutorial per week Subject Description This subject explores the proposition that a unique Australian Way of Life emerged in the first decades of this century with the establishment of the Federation Settlement. Implicit in this proposition is the idea that through its sponsorship and development of the various social and political arrangements of the Settlement, the State generated more than a set of institutions but a whole way of life, a culture. This theme of a 'state-sponsored' culture will be brought to bear on contemporary Australian society. Key questions to be examined include: what are the implications of the dismantling of the Settlement institutions during the 1980s for (the notion of) the Australian Way of Life? Is the State attempting to generate new institutional arrangements in place of the old? If so, what kinds of cultural visions do they entail? In what ways has globalisation impacted on the reshaping of Australian political culture? Assessment Essay work or equivalent totalling 5000 words.

Chris is a linguistics student at the University of Queensland, which is in Australia somewhere, and hails from Brisbane, which is in Australia somewhere. He says he enjoys ruminating on the Australian psyche and is interested in its speech characteristics. He was learning Verdurian for awhile, but otherwise seems sane. Mark If you're Australian... You know hardly anything about the Constitution and what it actually contains. Before the whole republic thing, you may not have even known it existed. You're familiar with Neighbours, Home and Away, Playschool, A Country Practice , Norman Gunston, Barry Humphries, Blue Heelers, Ray Martin, Bert Newton, Lisa McCune, Jon Burgess, Number 96, Molly Meldrum, Kerry O'Brien, and of course, Kerry Packer and Rupert Murdoch. You can't remember past the second line of your national anthem, let alone the second verse . . . Whether you're male or female, you watch a lot of sport. You watch the cricket, and support your footy team... which code is best is a matter of controversy and depends on your upbringing. You can be sure that the contest is between League, AFL, and maybe Union none of these fancy Northern Hemisphere games, like soccer or gridiron. If you're male, you can argue intricate points about their rules. You don't know so much about basketball, netball, hockey, baseball, etc. even if the national team are the world champions.
Australian Culture Geographic
A form of English, known as strine, or Aussie slang, has evolved over timeand reflects the uniqueness of the australian culture and language.

Extractions: Australian culture geographic Friendly lot the Aussies. Theyll invite you to a barbie in their backyard,toss a shrimp on it for you...greet you with a gday mate and proceed to delight you with the colorful language that comes from emerging as a nation in complete geographical isolation from the rest of the world. Of course not everyone speaks strine (Australian pronounced the Australian way). The following guide will help you, though, to understand those down under at the average informal outback gathering. One trend you might notice, when listening to Australian speech, is the use (or perhaps over use)of the long e sound, which is tacked on to the end of many a word. If you are offered a tinnie, for instance, -take it, as it is a can of beer. If a mate will be back in a minnie, you can safely expect him back in sixty seconds. If the postie has delivered a pressie- then you are in luck. You have been given a present and it has arrived courtesy of your mail man. Unless he has chucked a sickie of course.

Creative Nation - Internation Projection Of Australian Culture

Extractions: Australia stands to benefit substantially from sharing the best of its culture with the rest of the world. In recent years a major effort has been made to send Australian artists, exhibitions and films to countries important in our web of international relationships. We have worked, in particular, to better coordinate international cultural activity and link it more closely with our trade and investment efforts. The Australia Council's objective is to spend at least half ($2.5million) of its international cultural budget in our region. Through the funding of Australian artists and cultural activity overseas, the Council is making a significant contribution to the development of the arts in Australia. The Government supports this approach by the Australia Council and believes the nation, as well as the artists, companies and institutions involved, benefit from a confident projection of Australian cultural diversity and energy to new audiences overseas. The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) has also been increasingly changing the focus and scope of its international cultural relations program in recent years.

Extractions: Date: 26 February 2002 Unexpectedly, the asylum seeker issue has become the most important political issue facing Australia. Robert Manne, in his address to the Brisbane Institute, asked: Why has the asylum seeker issue made its way to the centre of Australia's culture war? Why is Australia now seen as a country which deals more harshly with asylum seekers than any other Western country? How is the bitter division of opinion on this issue between those who have been called the "elites" and the "ordinary people" to be explained? An address not to be missed!

http://www.milner.wa.edu.au/html/getinfo/austcult.html

Extractions: AUSTRALIAN CULTURE One of the advantages of studying in Australia is the chance to learn about our unique, multicultural society. Australia is a country of immigrants from all parts of the world, especially Europe and Asia, and our contemporary culture is very influenced by the mixture of international traditions which migrants have brought with them. In addition, you will have the chance to learn about the history and lifestyles of the Australian Aborigines, the oldest living culture on earth. Aboriginal speakers are regularly invited to talk to classes of students at Milner College, and a number of excursions are organised, for example to the Art Gallery of Western Australia, and also to the West Australian Museum, both of which have impressive collections of Aboriginal art and artefacts.

Extractions: Sydney has been the host city for recent discussions between the OECD expert group on global information security, Australia's Internet Industry Association and the US Internet Industry Association on how the new security environment will impact the Internet in Australia, and how our information infrastructure can be made more secure from terrorist attacks. During three days of meetings, the Internet Industry Association (IIA)and the USIIA created a Draft Joint Statement of Principles, to broadly outline the direction that needs to be taken. The first guideline is to promote the partnership of governments and industry in matters of security. The solution to global crime and terror is no longer the province of governments alone. With the large interconnected networks of companies, you cannot combat cybercrime without private sector cooperation, said IIA chief executive, Peter Coroneos. Justin Milne, chair of the IIA Cybercrime Virtual Taskforce, sees the main issue being cooperation between law enforcement agencies (LEAs) and businesses. The taskforce has drafted a code of conduct, which is expected to be endorsed in about six months.

As J.D.B. Miller noted, Australian Government and Politics The Eureka Rebellion in 1854, although not the outburst of political radicalism it is sometimes depicted, did suggest that the Irish were in the forefront of those agitating for what were often very modest reforms to an authoritarian system. The goldrushes themselves were an important factor in changing the texture of the population. Numbers of migrants increased markedly and the colonies developed from then on at a much faster rate.
