Y10: Defense Set to Give US More Military Access

1. Give US forces greater access to Australian military bases. Shared facilities are expected to include HMAS Stirling naval base in Western Australia, an army base in Townsville as the primary location for operations, the port of Darwin and the Bradshaw Field Training Area in the Northern Territory.
2.AUSMIN summit
3. The country that US is specifically reacting to is the increase in miltary power from CHINA.
4.  They will result in a significant escalation of military co-operation, including more visits by US ships, aircraft and troops, and their forces exercising here regularly.
5.  Other key areas for discussion at the talks will be cyber security, progress in Afghanistan and the state of the Joint Strike Fighter project. Australia plans to buy up to 100 of the revolutionary multi-role jets to replace the RAAF's F-111 bombers, retired last year, and its F/A-18 Hornets.
6.  What does this agreement mean for Australia's future in the Regional and Global context?
this would mean that Australia would always be protected from any threat in the pacific because the US will always be close to help protect the Australian borders.

Go Back to Where You Came From Reflection

1. My initial reaction to the show, "Go Back to Where You Came From Reflection" was that the show had chosen a very particular company of people, ranging from racists to complete left wing supporters. This giving the show a competitive aspect as the people who were chosen to show would be at a constant disagreement. This creates "good television", but also has a large informative aspect to it to. It not only broadens people's minds to the higher moral standing on this issue but it spreads reliable and current information and personal perspectives to the Australian society.


2. 1.5%


3. Because generally, the Australian media disagree with immigrants coming as boat people and refugees. so based on this association the issue elevates due to the negativity portrayed towards it.  


4. 18th.


5. Because we are have so much available to us as a society, all people should have equal rights and that we can help people who are less fortunate than we are. 


6. They have the same amount of support as Australian's do.


7. 11


8. As there is a large amount of refugees Malaysia, this means that the refugees in Malaysia are not protected therefore don't like being in Malaysia.
