    Australia day commemorates the anniversary of the arrival of the first fleet on the 26th of January 1788. To some, it means the beginning of the dispossession of aborigines and the lost of their culture, but to others that was the birth of a great nation. This time of the year sparks many debates on whether Australia day should be celebrated or not.

Alternatively, in her article ‘changing the date won’t fix Australia day’, Celeste Liddle argues rationally…

    Australian society has been influenced by religion of the British First Fleet since the arrival. Before this, Aboriginals as the original inhabitants of Australia, had spiritual beliefs based on traditions and philosophical teachings brought down by generations. After the British Fleet arrived in Australia, these beliefs were neglected and the Church of England became the predominant religion. These early influences of governing Christian based beliefs are evident in modern Australian society as Christian based holidays like Easter and Christmas continue to be celebrated on the official calendar. Furthermore, religion influences the political system when enforcing laws and also in legal practises like swearing on religious texts in court.…
