well , the Vietnam war was considered to be a television war, where everything going on in the war was shown on TV 'uncensored' and also because the body bags to the dead Australian soldiers entering Darwin were shown on TV every night. so organisations like SOS (save our sons) were set up to bring the Vietnam veterans back home.

i didnt do the whitlam dismiss and john kerrs. i did the republicanism and paul keating. so i will just change the question a bit.




specifically describe Paul Keating role in the republicanism and how it was entirely his decision to do so.

paul keating had a long parliamentary career which included an eight-years tint as federal treasurer and a five year term as prime ministers. keating gave a speech during the queen's visit to australia in 1992 in which he referred australia's outlook being "necessarily independent".

in april 1993, keating apoointed a republic advisory committe to examine the options for an australian republic.

in 1999, the referendum for republican held. the first question asked whether australia should become a republic with a president appointed by parliament. the second question was as to whether the constitution should changed to insert a preable.

QUESTION: describe one group of people effect due to vietname war.

Women was strongly effected by the Vietnam War as opposition mounted, this wave of 'rebellionness' came into effect and women across Australia started protesting both the Vietnam war (Save Our Sons) and of their unequal rights in Australia at that time. And for the first time in the 60s, saw women coming out to the streets with skirts above the knee which was considered obscene at those time and women having promiscuous sex and breaking off their religious influence as the 60s had.

I will try to answer it...I dunno if Iam right as i did this off my head and didnt use the book!

In thje 1970s Gough Whitlam introduced many bills that we now dont even recognise that he had implemented it. These include the ' Same job same pay ' and the right for women to vote. He had successfully made Universities free for everyone as he believed that Uni should be for everyone and not just for the rich but also the smart and poor of the nation. But universities were back to the old cliche pay to learn after Whitlam was sacked.

Gough Whitlam's Government introduced Medibank on 1 July 1975. Medibank is a universal health care insurance scheme which enables people to have access to high standard and public medical treatment, regardless of income.

The original proposition for financing Medibank was from taxpayer levy. However, it was rejected twice by the Senate on August and December 1974. Therefore, was funded entirely from general revenue.

Later, the name "Medibank" was changed to "Medicare".

Question: How did the 1967 referendum affect Aborigines?

it decided aboriginal people should be included in the census and that the federal govt should have the power to make laws for all aboriginal people. it also led to the creation of a federal aboriginal affairs department.

question: why is the wik decision in 1996 so important?

[Sampri93]

question: why is the wik decision in 1996 so important?

The Wik decision was so important to both Aboriginal land rights and Australian history in the fact that it legally recognised that native title rights exist on pastoral leases - both can co-exist. This coexistence provides the means by which many Aboriginal people, locked off grazing stations in the 60s and 70s, wishing to be recognised of rights to their traditional lands, can claim, though difficult, their land currently occupied by pastoralists and farmers. It overturned a number of components of the Mabo decision and the Native Title Act 1993 (Cwlth).

List and describe the impacts the Vietnam War had on veterans and their families.

[SuperTyron]

- Agent orange was a major factor and it gave many vietnam veterans cancer as well as their children. Many of their children also had deformities which was later accepted to be because of agent orange
- Mental ilness like Post traumatic stress disorder was common in vietnam vets, some were scared of loud noises and stuff thinking it was bombs
- Many relationships broke up between the vets and their wives and family because they had changed and become "hardened from the experience".

what were women liberationalists and what did they aim to achieve/achieve? =D

Italians

- Came by boat in the late 1940's as migrants and/or refugees, a pretty rough journey =P
- The Italians congregated like tribes, being close to each other in suburbs in Melbourne and Italian enclaves such as Leichhardt in Sydney xD
- Italian people were called 'daggos' because of their darker toned skin via the predominantly Anglo community then. Other insults were made on them based on their race... (not sure which ones but there were particular ones)
- Under the assimilation policy applied to immigrants and Aborigines, they were expected to drop their culture and traditions and follow the Australian way of life. It did not expect them to drop their language or religious views.
- The Italian migrant group experienced a lot of hardship in Australian society, and for workers, their qualifications were not recognized so therefore they had to take whatever work was possible. Many Italian people also had difficulty learning the English language.

Or I could do Chinese =P

- Much of the Chinese culture until the abolition of the White Australia policy was altered into a more Chinese-Australian culture due to the restrictions of Asian people as a whole migrating into Australia.
- The first major group of Chinese that came to Australia were ethnic Chinese from Vietnam. They came to flee persecution from the Communist Government. They often experienced hardships living and dealing with the language and the environment they were living in and tended to stick together as a community.
- Chinese Migrants from Hong Kong migrated from the period of 1984-1997, unlike the usual migrant convention (mom dad and children), the dad would still work in Hong Kong while the mom and children would live in Australia.
- Bob Hawke allowed 50,000 visas to allow Chinese students to stay in Australia in fear of the Communist Party of China following the event of the Tiananmen Square protests. This allowed potential dissidents such as Chen Yong Lin to seek a safe place from the People's Republic of China.
- Chinese have achieved success in many fields today, such as Terence Tao and his research of Mathematics, Bing Lee and the start-up of the Bing Lee business and Poh Ling Yeow =P as a master chef contestant xD
- From the 1990's, Chinese people came as skilled migrants or International Students. Many of the Chinese students took the places of such courses like Business, economics, engineering and the sciences and skilled migrants worked as doctors, professors, start-ups of coaching colleges/tutoring centers and other highly skilled professions.
- The Chinese in Australia have lead to the contribution of more diverse Chinese foods, such as Shanghainese, Sichuanese, Taiwanese and Qingdao cuisine xD



Okay next question...

Describe the political, social and cultural changes that happened throughout the late 1960s as a result of the Vietnam War.

Women liberationists were the women that lead the feminist movement from the late 1960s and they demanded equality for women, such as wages, the right to work even with pregnancy, maternity leave, education, etc..

[Sampri93]

Describe the political, social and cultural changes that happened throughout the late 1960s as a result of the Vietnam War.

Through a developing opposition to the Vietnam War, Australians became much more politically aware as they had ever been. Previously, govt. decisions were accepted, however, as a result of the Vietnam War, more Australians became involved in govt decision making processes - influencing decisions by voting for certain governments + protesting. New technology, such as advancements in television, made transmitting social and political issues easier.

The youth of the 60s challenged the traditional values of previous generations and actively opposed the decisions of the government. There was a move towards a more liberal society, promoting equality.

Aust. population experienced further change. The population continued to arrive as some 90,000 Indo-Chinese refugees arrived in Australia at the conclusion of the VW, changing the makeup of the Australian population.

_______

Hm, another one. I'll go with Outline Australia's role as a global citizen in the post war period.
