The Origins of Modern Australia - MHIS204
Why are Australians troubled by refugees? Why do women still struggle for equal pay? Why were indigenous people denied citizenship, and have their children removed? Why does the mining industry exert so much influence in Australian public life? How have economic forces shaped the Australian environment? What is Australia's place in the world? Modern Australian society was formed in the nineteenth century. The values, tensions, debates and economic forces of contemporary Australia can only be fully understood with reference to their 19th century context. In providing that context this unit explains why the past continues to influence the Australian experience.
