British Parliament
The British Parliament building is located in Westminster, London and houses the two houses, the House of Lords and the House of Commons. The building was constructed between 1840-1860 on the site of the old palace that burned down in 1834 and contains 1200 rooms, 100 staircases, and 5 kilometers of corridors. One iconic landmark located within the parliament building grounds is the Elizabeth Tower, commonly known as Big Ben, built in 1858.

In practice, the legislative and executive powers are closely linked, with ministers drawn from parliament and the prime minister as head of the executive.

Australiaseconomy
Australia has a market-based economy that is considered one of the freest in the world. The government does not own major industries and businesses, and prices are set by supply and demand rather than government rules. It is easy to start a business in Australia, and the courts protect property rights. Four key factors that drive Australia's economic growth are its natural resources like minerals and agricultural land, investments in human capital through education, use of advanced capital goods, and high levels of entrepreneurship.

Cullity, Olimpia. "Reform and punishment: Fremantle prison, 1850 to 1890." Studies in Western Australian History, no. 31, 2016, pp. 63–79.
In this article, Cullity provides an in-depth analysis of the symbolism and purpose behind the construction of Fremantle Prison in Western Australia during the 1850s-1890s. The author argues the prison illustrated the British Empire's ideology of using convict labor to develop its colonies, as well as the religious beliefs that influenced the prison's design and methods of punishment/reform. Cullity discusses how

After World War 2, the local people in Singapore responded negatively to British rule. There was widespread poverty, lack of basic necessities, and disease. The people organized strikes and riots to protest their living conditions. Political parties also formed to demand self-governance and blame the British for post-war troubles. Notable riots included the Maria Hertogh riots in 1950 over a custody dispute and anti-national service riots in 1954 among Chinese students. The British instituted reforms like elections but maintained control. Over time, more power shifted to local leaders as Singapore progressed toward independence.

Progressive era powerpoint
The Progressive Era in America saw widespread reforms in the early 20th century to address issues like workers' rights, women's and children's rights, economic issues, and the environment. Reformers sought to (1) protect social welfare, (2) promote moral improvement, (3) create economic reform, and (4) foster efficiency. Notable progressive presidents included Theodore Roosevelt, who broke up trusts and conserved natural resources, and Woodrow Wilson, who strengthened antitrust laws and established the Federal Trade Commission. However, the movement failed to significantly advance civil rights for African Americans.
Margaret thatcher

Her leadership shifted the country to the right politically and emphasized free market policies.
Whitlam and Wit
When one writes about politics, the people and the events, the ideas and the issues, one does not have to engage in the partisan variety which divides the nation and individuals from each other and engages millions in hair-splitting discussions on topics about which they usually or, at least, often know very little. Often the opinions are endless, opinions which get dropped-about now in cyberspace's social media and elsewhere, and in real space.
I have studied politics and taught it from grade 10 when I was 15 to these years of my retirement more than half a century later. I am now 70. My parents had political meetings in our home back in the early to mid-1950s. It was in those early, those embryonic, years when I was inoculated against partisan-party politics. That in-house political discussion was characterized by endless hair-splitting and personality clashes in what were my pre-puberal years, and the scene has changed little in those several decades.

3. James Connolly

In the 1890s, he helped establish the Irish Socialist Republican Party in Dublin, whose goal was to create an Irish socialist republic based on public ownership of land and industry. The party advocated for nationalization of key industries, social welfare programs, workers' rights, and universal suffrage. Connolly continued his socialist and labor organizing activities in Ireland and the United States over the following decades, before playing a leading role in the 1916 Easter Rising against British rule in Ireland. He was executed for his role in the uprising.

- Improved living conditions through laws regulating safety of foods, medicines, tenement housing, and improved sanitation in cities.

1. Introduction to the topic - Political Parties

It outlines the evolution of Conservative ideology from one-nation conservatism to Thatcherism. For Labour, it describes the party's socialist roots and transition to New Labour under Blair.

Progressivism Movement
The Progressive Movement from 1901-1917 represented a period of reforms and innovations in the political, economic, and social order in the United States. While often seen as a victory for liberalism, historians argue it was more of a conservative triumph that aimed to maintain capitalist social and economic relations. Progressive leaders enacted reforms but sought to perpetuate the existing system. There is ongoing debate among historians around whether Progressivism constituted a true coherent movement or was simply a period with shared goals but divergent groups.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

- 11. The Greens
- 12. The Green movement emerged from many environmental campaigns in Tasmania. This movement held many campaigns including trying to prevent the flooding of Lake Pedder and preventing the construction of the Franklin Dam in Tasmania. The Green gained their first federal parliamentary representative, Josephine Vallentine in 1984, and by the 2001 elections, a green representative was elected as a Senator for Tasmania. In 2002, the Greens won a House of Representatives seat – Michael Organ-finally defining the Green movement as more than just a single-issue environmental party. After the 2001 elections, the Green party was seen as the third most popular party in Australia, with votes rising due to the growing global environmental awareness. The Green History
