Let me paint you a picture. You are in a lift and suddenly the door opens and 50 more people enter the lift . How would you feel ? Won’t it be a bit suffocating. Would you like to be in that situation? And Can the situation be in real ?
Well it may be . According to a research , over the next 30 years Australia’s population will grow by 11.8 million people . Can you believe at present the overall total population increases 1 person every 1 minute and 26 seconds . It is interesting to highlight that Australia’s population will grow by the size of Canberra each year for next 30 years.
Infrastructure Australia has warned that the growth of size will transform Australia’s cities . And its the time to take some serious action on this issue . But the great thing is that government is unable to hear itself. How long should we wait for that exceptional situation when government realises its duty ?

Which may include some of the worst situation like decline in economic productivity, increase in environmental pressure and reduction in quality of life . Especially our family and friends who are living in Melbourne and Sydney suffer from congestion and a lack of access to jobs, schools, parks and hospital.
The main concern at this stage should not be to about the growing population. But it should be about managing that population without reducing the current life facilities.In resent time some person came up with the idea of half the migration rate . Partly because of the reason of lack of infrastructure. Like REALLY! Half migration because of infrastructure ( Tony Abbott video scene) . Won’t it be a silly reason to escape from the truth THAT WE NEED MORE INFRASTRUCTURE and start development for it
At the point when mapping out your Australian get-away, a visit to Queensland's capital may not be your first decision. The nation's third biggest city is frequently ignored for Australia's all the more surely understood visitor problem areas, as Sydney and Melbourne. However, Brisbane's subtropical atmosphere, flourishing expressions and unrecorded music scene and flock of outside to-dos make it a commendable destination for your next excursion Down Under.
In surveying Australian film production over the last century, what visibly occurs is a general evasion of Aboriginal issues and an absence of any balanced representation of Australia’s notable Indigenous population. But I need to add, that things are changing. Several recent films seek to redress this imbalance and provide a substantial Indigenous storyline.
In 1984, Peter McCormick’s “Advance Australia Fair” officially became Australia’s national anthem. A song we proudly sing both on Anzac Day and Australia Day, with our hand’s on our heart. Should we be proud to sing a song about absolute lies? “Australians all let us rejoice, For we are young and free”, it took aboriginals over 60 years to be recognized as human beings, let alone Australians, they were anything but free. “For those who’ve come across the seas, we’ve boundless plains to share”, that whole sentence is a lie, we have stopped the boats, we don't want to share our boundless plains. We lock up our immigrants in Detention Centers, replicating that of cages. All of us here are living a free life and a safe life and for the majority of us, it is our reality and has been since the day we were born. I’m
My fellow australians Change is not the answer! The Australian flag is intertwined with history, something lacking in all ‘new’ Australian flags. The current Australian flag is what our soldiers die under, its what are sportsmen win under. The flag has undergone draughts, floods, and depressions and recessions; it defines us as Australians. Every time you see the flag it reminds all Australians of what we have accomplished as a country, it reminds us of what we have lost and what do we have to show for it if we change our flag.
Today Australians acknowledge the rights of everyone, a democratic system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives. Australia, the rights of everyone, furthermore the long term Australia is in independent nation and since one of the most important aspects of nationhood is the people, ourb> head of state should be an Australian whose first allegiance is to Australia, not Britain. I have three main points I wish to make clear these are that citizens of Australia have favoured the change for many years now and, secondly Australia can benefit socially and economically, thirdly, support grows every year and is virtually exponentially, so do you want this change now or 100 years away?
My oral surrounds the contemporary issue of the banning of the Melbourne Cup due to the cruel and inhumane treatment of the horses. The Melbourne Cup is an internationally recognised horse racing event, with a rich history dating back to 1861 and is a public holiday for residents of Melbourne. The arguments that support the ban are as follows: the racing undergone poses a significant risk to the health of the horses; the existence of the race is due to the economic benefits it brings and; many of the horses are discarded and then killed, known as ‘wastage’. With my arguments I intend for readers to depart with a greater understanding and appreciation of the ideas in my oral. The convention of a persuasive speech is to be adopted; a structure
“I’m going crazy,” “I can’t control myself,” “People are judging me,” “I’m about to die.”
I am sure that everyone of you have heard about aliens and UFOs. Indeed, we all have heard about the famous case of aliens and UFOs in Roswell, New Mexico. Most people might be interested in the topic of aliens, but I know that the majority of you just think of it as rumours and the existence of them are impossible. Therefore, I am standing here in front all of you to make you change your perspective. I am strongly confident that I have found the evidence of their real existence to convince all of you.
We fly it, we parade it, we wave it, we wear it. On Australia day, you can’t walk down a street without seeing one. But why doesn’t the Australian flag actually represent us? Without hesitation, I agree the symbolism on a national flag is of the utmost importance. The United States have their precious Stars & Stripes, Japan their rising sun and Britain have the blending of three crosses. We could go through flag after flag and either point out the symbolism or research it. However, the Australian flag, or more correctly the British Blue Ensign should not remain our flag, as the real symbolism is no longer relevant. Modern Australians understand the Southern Cross, but they do not at all understand the Union Jack in the corner. It is time to change and to represent the culturally diverse, indigenous valuing country we are known to be.
Good Morning Members of the Australian Flag Committee, A country's flag is its most important, valuable and honourable representation. By looking at it, one can understand all about that country's history, people and values. As we are choosing a new flag for Australia, we should choose one that tells the story of Australia from the beginning till the end. Some might be wondering, what is wrong with our current Australian flag? Well I ask you, does the three elements, the Union Jack, the Commonwealth Star and the Southern Cross tell the complete story of Australia?
Australia Day Debate Speech We, as an affirmative team, think and should change Australia Day from the 26th to the 1st which is Federation Day. Federation Day is a much more suitable date for Australia Day as it focuses on when Australia as a whole country decided to unite together establishing a system of federalism and when Australia became independent in 1901. Australia Day has many meanings to people, but to the Aborigines, it holds a very sad and insensitive meaning. It brings up a lot of hurt and heartache to the people who were one of the oldest cultures of the land and it disrespects them in many ways. Changing the date of Australia Day to the date of Federation Day is beneficial in many aspects as then, Australians can celebrate the
In the year ending 31 December 2009, Australia's estimated resident population (ERP) had increased by 433,000 people to 22.2 million, a 2.0% increase from December 2008. This followed growth of 460,000 people (or 2.2%) between December 2007 and December 2008. The rate of population growth has become considerably faster since the mid-2000s. Over the two decades prior to 2006, the annual growth rate had averaged 1.3%, adding an average of 234,000 people per year in that period. The recent growth rate of around 2% per year is faster than at any other time in the past several decades, and faster than nearly all other developed countries.

Every state had population growth between 2001 and 2011. Queensland recorded the largest growth (845,200 people), while Western Australia recorded the fastest growth (24%). The Northern Territory had the smallest growth, increasing by 33,600 people, while Tasmania and South Australia had the slowest growth (both 8.4%). [6] A key contributor to change in the distribution of Australia's population is internal migration. During 2009-2010, 331,400 people moved from one state or territory to another. This is an 8% drop from the same period one year earlier (359,900). [6]
It’s not only the ageing population that will cause a seismic shift in Australia’s demographics. The large intake of skilled migrants from overseas and a mini ‘baby boom’ have helped drive population growth, which in turn has pushed the Australian economy along. This, of course, has already provided businesses with enormous opportunities.
