Leader of the Opposition

Good morning Mr. Speaker, Prime Minster Turnbull, the Honorable leader of the Opposition, Mr. Bill Shorten, Honorable Members of the House, esteemed quests, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Harrison Potter and I rise to address the house this morning to propose Zach Bryers as my candidate for the 2018 Australian of the Year Award. Zach Bryers was born in The Australian Capital Territory in 1979 and has lead the Australian effort to help guide young Australians with any troubling experiences. Zach Bryers had a harsh upbringing and was always angry at his mother because his father wasn’t there to be angry at. At fifteen years of age he left home and went to stay with his friends when he could, but often slept in the sand dunes on the beach. Zach picked himself up after four years on the streets and with the help of his girlfriend decided to join the Australian army. Zach Bryers served in the armed forces for years until he was medically discharged due to post-traumatic stress disorder. Now back home, his experiences in war inspired him to keep striving to achieve. Zach set a new goal to compete in professional gridiron. He trained long and hard hours to reach…

strict conditions in hosting political gatherings causing opposition parties to meet in confined locations or within party premises to avoid applying for police permits (Lecture, 9/12). Opposition parties are also effectively excluded from access to mainstream media outlets during campaigning, while propagandized adverts on BN candidates and allied political parties like MCA and MIC flood the media scene. Because opposition parties do not have access to mainstream media and generally hold…

“Tradition is a guide and not a jailer.” (W. Somerset Maugham) This quote demonstrates that tradition can be changed, similar to the way Hasidism changed traditional Judaism. Hasidism began in Southeast Poland-Lithuania and sparked a revolution in Judaism. The breakup of Judaism paired with the lack of trust in Jewish leaders, lead Hasidism to form and pave a new way for Judaism. Kabbalah, Mass enthusiasm and ecstasy acted as the foundation for the movement and fear of separatism lead many…

his theory, “secular time” tracks slow, gradual, and long-term political change along two separate political dimensions. One element is the organization of power within the presidency, which makes presidents more powerful over time (Skowronek). There are more resources available to the President therefore he gains more independence and power (Skowronek). However, on the other hand, the distribution of power in the political system as a whole allows there to be more points of opposition to…

Not once did the Prime Minister stutter or draw a blank in words. While it can be argued that the PMQs generate “more heat than light,” I felt Prime Minister Cameron answered nearly all of the questions asked of him in a concise and informative manner. Additionally, he was never discouraged by the jokes and was able to throw them right back at the opposition. It was very apparent that the Prime Minister and opposition leader, Ed Miliband, were not fans of one another, however both remained…

As World War 1 goes to the end, Russia gets to an informal situation. The leader of Russia who was Tsar was ruling the country in a wrong way. After the corruption of Tsar, Lenin who is part of the Bolsheviks comes up and rules the country. He comes up with a government that will give land and takes care of the country. As a result, Lenin became a leader who made Russia a stable country. Lenin’s government was overall more different than Tsar’s government for many important reasons. The main…

did one authoritarian or single-party ruler deal with internal opposition? Existing internal political, military, social and economic opposition in Nazi german was dealt with by both legal and illegal means with varying degrees of success. Hitler’s exploitation of situations and use of violence allowed him to successfully destroy threats from other party’s as well as within the NSDAP as well as potential economic opponents. Violence as a method was mostly successful for Hitler in dealing with…

their influence to get what they want, it’s manipulation. Americans fell under the influence of manipulation by going to war with Japan. Considering that leaders only have to “tell [the public] they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to greater danger” in order to make people go to war, it’s easy for authority to use their influence to manipulate the people (Goering). After the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, killing over a hundred…
