Australia
Interesting Facts:
In 1916 the Labor Prime Minister, Billy Hughes, decided that Australia must have conscription if the strength of Australia's forces at the front was to be maintained. The Labor Party and the trade unions were bitterly opposed to conscription, and Hughes and his followers were expelled from the party when they refused to back down. In 1916 and again in 1917 the Australian people voted against conscription in referendums. (See History of Australian Conscription) Hughes united with the Liberals to form the Nationalist Party, and remained in office until 1923, when he was succeeded by Stanley Bruce. Labor remained weak and divided through the 1920s. The new Country Party took many country voters away from Labor, and in 1923 the Country Party formed a coalition government with the Nationalists.
Australia consists of six states and several territories. The states are New South Wales (NSW), Queensland (QLD), South Australia (SA), Tasmania (TAS), Victoria (VIC) and Western Australia (WA). The two major territories are the Northern Territory (NT) and the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). The ACT also incorporates a separate area within New South Wales known as Jervis Bay Territory which serves as a naval base and sea port for the national capital. The ACT and Australias capital city Canberra were founded as a compromise between the two largest cities, Melbourne and Sydney, at Federation.

Australia New Zealand Independat Travel News
Whilst trade with Asia had overtaken trade with the UK many years before, Asian immigrants became a major cultural influence on Australia by the 1970s and beyond, perhaps first with refugees from Vietnam, but also including large numbers from China, many of whom initially arrive as university students (a large group were given permission to stay after the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989). The Chinese influence, particularly in Sydney and Melbourne, is obvious to the visitor despite not being reflected in Australia's image overseas.
