Social analysis of australia
• A Multi-Cultural Society :
   The initial population of Australia was made up of
  Aborigines and people of British and Irish descent.
   After World War II there was heavy migration from Europe,
  especially from Greece, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands,
  Yugoslavia, Lebanon, and Turkey. This was in response to
  the Australian policy of proactively trying to attract
  immigrants to boost the population and work force.
   In the last thirty years, Australia has liberalised its
  immigration policy and opened its borders to South East
  Asia. This has caused a real shift in self-perception as
  Aussies begin to re-define themselves as a multi-cultural
  and multi-faith society rather then the old homogenous,
  white, Anglo- Saxon, Protestant nation.
POLITICAL ANAYSIS OF AUSTRALIA
• Australia’s liberal democracy is built around a
  constitutional monarchy and the British
  Westminster system, but with the American
  federal structure grafted onto it.
• Australia is a federal system, one in which the
  Constitution divides power between the national,
  or federal, government and the States. As a
  result, the political and financial relationship
  between the States and the Federal Government
  is an ongoing concern.
POLITICAL PARTIES
• A political party is generally recognised as an
  organisation of like-minded people which aims to
  develop policies and endorse candidates to
  contest elections with a view to forming
  government.
• Australia’s party system is dominated by two
  major groups, the Australian Labor Party and the
  coalition parties, the Libera Party of australia and
  The Nationals.
• Since 1922, Australian Federal Governments have
  been formed either by Labor or the Coalition.
ECONOMICAL ANAYSIS OF AUSTRALIA
•   AGRICULTURAL ASPECT:
    Australian agricultural production helps provide food and clothing for a nation of
    over 20 million people. In addition, Australia exports around 65% of its agricultural
    production. Australian agriculture contributes around 3% to GDP and accounts for
    about 65% of water use and almost 60% of Australia’s land area.
•   Industry structure and performance
    Australia’s GDP in 2005–06 reached $922 billion, an increase of 2.8% on the
    previous year. The GDP per person was more than $44,000.
    A total of 10 million Australians are employed in industry. The greatest number
    worked in the retail industry (1.5 million), followed by property and business
    services (1.2 million) and manufacturing (1.1 million). Mining activity accounts for
    around 8% of Australia's gross domestic product and has contributed over $500b
    directly to Australia's wealth during the past 20 years. There are around 320,000
    Australians employed in the industry, either directly or indirectly in support
    industries.
ECONOMICAL ANALYSIS OF AUSTRALIA
• Tourism
  International visitors consumed $21 billion in goods
  and services produced by the Australian economy in
  2005–06. This represents 11% of Australia’s exports of
  goods and services.
  The top destinations for Australians travelling overseas
  for short periods during 2006 were New Zealand, the
  United States of America, the UK, Thailand and China.
  Between 2005 and 2006, short-term departures to
  Thailand increased 42%, while departures for Indonesia
  fell by 39%.
• National accounts
  Australia’s net worth continues to grow strongly, up
  9.2% to more than $5,330 billion at 30 June 2006.
  International accounts and trade
  Import wasmore goods than we export in 2006–07,
  producing a $12.6 billion deficit. However, the value of
  exports grew faster than that of imports, so the deficit
  was lower than in the previous year ($15 billion). (Page
  718)
  Imports of cars increased by 10% or $1.2 billion in
  2006–07, and goods vehicles by 21% ($900 million).
TECHNOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF
            AUSTRALIA
Information and communication technology
Household access to the Internet has grown from 1.1 million
households in 1998 to 4.7 million in 2005–06.

There were 6.7 million active Internet subscribers in Australia in
September 2006, with more than 1.1 million using connections with
speeds of 1.5 megabits per second (Mbps) or greater.
Research and innovation
Expenditure on research and development (R&D) in Australia
reached more than $15.7 billion in 2004–05, up more than 19% on
the figure two years previously.
Australian business accounted for the highest expenditure on R&D
