What role did Australia play in the British criminal justice system during Charles Dickens' lifetime?
Q. I need to know Australia's influence on the Criminal Justice System from 1812-1870.

A. Australia's role on the British criminal justice system was mainly to alleviate the overcrowding in English prisons due to the enactment of some rather harsh, all encompassing, laws. The first fleet of convict ships arrived at Botany Bay (Sydney) on 20 January 1788. The last convicts to be transported to Australia arrived in 1868 in Western Australia. Much of this happened during Charles Dickens's lifetime, however it had nothing directly to do with his father's imprisonment. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries about 60, 000 convicts were sent to the British colonies in North America (the US and Australia have a lot in common).

The differences are as follows: Positives: Less taxes, not as over crowded, lower cost of living, booming job market, exotic foods to us here in the USA are everyday fruits and veggies in Australia, not as anal about rules, humid heat in most of the States in the USA, etc. Negative/Positives: Water restrictions are enforced. Imported yank stuff is a bit more costly, dry heat even though its much hotter. If you can live with the differences, then, like me.. there are no negatives in living in Australia.. frankly, if it wasn't for my family, I would have no reason for coming back to the USA..

Competition from Qantas and a succession of start-up airlines, top-heavy and overpaid staff, an ageing fleet and grounding of the Boeing 767 fleet due to maintenance irregularities left Ansett seriously short of cash. Ansett became a drain on its parent and Air New Zealand itself was ultimately bailed out by the New Zealand Government (with the New Zealand Government giving Air New Zealand one billion dollars to stay afloat).

I also provide a lot for my community which I know is a key thing. My major is art, and I want to become an art teacher.

A. You will need to look in Canada for a scholarship that is valid overseas as Australian universities dont give out scholarships as a rule - only the best students once they have been at uni for a couple of semesters are eligible for small bursaries (1-2K) if they get HD for all subjects. Scholarships are not a common occurrence in Australia as students are eligible for Austudy if they are from low income, work if they are from middle income and all uni fees are deferred until they start working (and most students live at home during their undergrad so they have no expenses).

Why do the seasons in Australia start on the 1st day of the month as opposed to the 21st, everywhere else?
Q. I've always wondered why in Australia the seasons start on the 1st of every third month as opposed to most other countries I know of that start on the 21st of every third month. Eg. Summer in Australia starts on the 1st of December. However winter in the Northern hemisphere doesn't begin until the 21st of December. Shouldn't summer begin on the 21st of December as well? Are there any other countries that do this as well? And if so why? Which is the correct date?
Asked by laxydaisical - Mon Mar 9 07:42:36 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Australia apparently uses meteorological seasons rather than astronomical seasons. The December-February period is the coldest (or warmest) three calendar months of the year, and so from a weather standpoint that's the winter (summer) season. The traditional seasons are based on the Sun's apparent motion in the sky; the dates are somewhat variable year to year and slowly changing due to precession of the equinoxes. One system is no more "right" than the other; they're just based on different sets of observations. If you're interested in weather patterns, the meteorological definition is more appropriate; for astronomical work, the traditional definition is better.

To find out the course that you are taking and where it is offered, I suggest you to go to IDP Education Australia website (www.idp.edu.au). IDP is an organisation that gives information to international students who wants to continue their study in Australia. The information abt tuition fee and requirement will be available from the universities' website. Once decided on the uni, fill in the application form and send it together with certified copy of your academic qualification. The process will take abt 2-3weeks, depending on the time of the year. Hope this helps. Good luck for your study and welcome to Australia :)

A. you can buy a sim card from a lot of places... they are sold at post offices, mobile phone shops, some newsagents and even some supermarkets... you will need to get a pre-paid sim card and this will cost you $30 and give you $30 worth of calls... it is pretty easy to set up (a 5-10 minute phone call) and should work within the hour that you set it up... just make sure that your phone from your original country takes the same sim card and you should be fine... easy as!!

A. We have protected classes (race, age, sex, sexual orientation, disability, veteran status, religion) here in the US, so if you fire someone or do not hire them based on their membership in these classes then you are subject to major fines and other disciplinary actions from the government. Also, you can fire who you like but if the employee can prove it was for an illegal reason (such as they are a member of a protected class or they would not perform sexual favors for a boss) the fired employee can sue for big time cash.

How is life in Australia, how easy or difficult it is to find work as a Corporate Secretary?
Q. A Company or Corporate Secretary may or may not sit on the board of directors but holds a high level position in a company. However, this profession is sometimes misunderstood for clerical secretaries. Is it difficult finding work as a Corporate Secretary in Australia?

A. Hey there from Melbourne (Australia)! There is a bit of work around for Company Secretaries, however nearly all roles require dual qualifications of not just Company Secretarial but also either law or accounting. Myself, I am qualified in law plus have post graduate qualifications in Corporate Governance, the latter of which allows membership as a "Chartered Secretary" via the local branch of the Institute of Chartered Secretaries, known here as "Chartered Secretaries Australia". In short though, no it is not difficult finding work as a corporate/company secretary here in Australia, however nearly always the roles as advertised also require the person holding the office to perform either a legal or accounting role, and thus you would… [cont.]

How do i get a job in Australia being italian? Is there discrimination? How does it work with sponsor and visa
Q. I'm 26 years old male from Italy actually living in Mexico. I am planning to go living in Australia looking for a job but I am not quite sure how easy would be to find it considering I should look for a sponsor once I will be right there, not before. How does it work with sponsorship and acceptance by Australian authorities? Is it too complicated? Should I go back to Italy in order to ask for the VISA? Can I do it from another country? Can I just do everything in Australia? I hope somebody will give me some clues. It is a little confusing for me. I also think that this procedure will penalize me once the companies need some employee as soon as possible. Should the company pay some exaggerated fee in order to sponsor foreigners? In few… [cont.]

Should Australia offer Citizenship to Canadians who hope to compete at the Games, yet just miss out?
Q. Both countries seem very similar, Australia much better in Summer sports & Canada in Winter, but if the Canadians have so many winter athletes who would otherwise miss out, than why not let them come to Australia for a much better way of life & compete at the highest level at the next Winter Olympics? No doubt they would appreciate a superior life style.

A. No, but I do believe that it should be easy to get permanent residency for born Canadian, Americans, Brits and Australians in each other countries given our shared history and culture. Then, if you can last five years living in said country, you can become a citizen.
