What are some of the current issues in Australia?

# data[].attributes.body
One issue Australia is facing is experiencing devastating floods and horrible heatwaves which are destroying houses and nature. There have been calls for more ambitious climate plans, yet Australia keeps its position of being one of the major exporters of fossil fuels.

Besides the issue of the environment, the indigenous people living in Australia experience a hard time with disadvantages in education and justice. There are still ongoing debates on how the federal government should act.

Another issue is the Australian housing crisis: for many Australians, it is hard to find a house due to the increasing costs of rental properties and houses for sale.

What were the key points of the “Populate or parish migration policy” in the 20th century?

# data[].attributes.body
In the aftermath of World War II, Australia faced challenges in terms of population size, defence capabilities and economic development. Prime Minister Ben Chifley realised that something had to be done urgently.

With that in mind, Chifley created the federal Department of Immigration. Its mission was to run a large-scale immigration programme to increase Australia's population. The slogan "populate or perish" was born, and its importance was clear: Australia had to grow or otherwise risk disappearing.

Between 1945 and 1985, about 4.2 million immigrants arrived in Australia. About 40 per cent of these newcomers came from Britain and Ireland. This number even overtook the number of convicts transported to Australia in the first 80 years after European settlement.

(Sneak Peek) The Originals Part 1: Populate or Perish

# data[].attributes.body
The economy of Australia has come a long way. Throughout the years there has been a noticeable growth starting from the 19th century. This century is known as the Gold rush era when gold was discovered in the states New South Wales and Victoria. This marked an economic boom which attracted a huge amount of immigrants. Consequently, there was an increase in economic activity and the population. Then came the Post World war boom with the arrival of skilled workers who contributed to industrial growth and urban development. The country also went through a phase of resource boom in the 70s and 80s with the discovery and exploitation of vast mineral resources of which iron ore, coal, and natural gas contributed to economic growth. Lastly, from the early 90s till present, Australia keeps doing well economically, doing trade with great countries like China and other Asian countries as well.
