Subject outline
In this subject students examine the origins and evolving nature of Australian political culture from federation to the present-day. Utilising Paul Kelly's contested, but nevertheless, useful concept of an 'Australian Settlement', we identify the key ideas, values, policies and programs that shaped Australian political life. Topics include: Aboriginal dispossession and the doctrine and ideology of terra nullius, the 'White Australia' policy, masculinism, secularism, the British colonial heritage, Australia's reliance on 'great and powerful' allies' and the role of the state in shaping the life chances and political outlook of Australians. Assessment aims to consolidate students' analytical, research and communication skills and to develop their ethical and cultural awareness.
