Default Australians., need your help

Hey,

Next year I plan on studying abroad at RMIT University in Melbourne. In order to do so we need to write an essay. The question is Comment on a current social, political or economic situation in your desired country of study. Offer your own informed thoughts and opinions. I was wondering what kind of situations there are in Australia, as I do not know that much about the country. I do not need a specific situation, more a place I can find one.

thanks for any help

jared

I guess this is the part of the assignment that made you think of asking on a tech forum?

In a nut shell, government braught in these new work place aggreements that give employeer's more power to fire you.
Plus it doing away benefits like Overtime and Leave.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005_Cronulla_riots <--- Another issue. Especially the fall out afterwards.

Now I am not going to comment as I know that I might anger a few people.
