This Day In History: January 26, 1788 – British Settlement Begins in Australia

HISTORY.COM: On January 26, 1788, Captain Arthur Phillip guides a fleet of 11 British ships carrying convicts to the colony of New South Wales, effectively founding Australia. After overcoming a period of hardship, the fledgling colony began to celebrate the anniversary of this date with great fanfare and it eventually became commemorated as Australia Day. In recent times, Australia Day has become increasingly controversial as it marks the start of when the continent's Indigenous people were gradually dispossessed of their land as white colonization spread across the continent.

Australia, once known as New South Wales, was originally planned as a penal colony. In October 1786, the British government appointed Arthur Phillip captain of the HMS Sirius, and commissioned him to establish an agricultural work camp there for British convicts. … » | History.com Editors | Sunday, January 26, 2025

Musk vs Albanese: The Election Showdown

Jan 15, 2025 | Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has issued a stark warning to Elon Musk ahead of the federal election, reminding him of foreign interference laws, but will the billionaire heed the call?

Australia Passes World-first Law Banning Under-16s from Social Media despite Safety Concerns

THE GUARDIAN: Bill passes amid warning that process has been rushed and that a ban could push teenagers towards the dark web or into isolation

Australia’s parliament has passed a law that will aim to do what no other government has, and many parents have tried to: stop children from using social media. The new law was drafted in response to what the Labor prime minister, Anthony Albanese, says is a “clear, causal link between the rise of social media and the harm [to] the mental health of young Australians.”

On Thursday, parliament’s upper house, the Senate, passed a bill by 34 votes to 19 banning children under 16 from social media platforms.

But academics, politicians and advocacy groups have warned that the ban – as envisioned by the government – could backfire, driving teenagers to the dark web, or making them feel more isolated. There are questions about how it will work in practice. Many worry that the process has been too rushed, and that, if users are asked to prove their age, it could lead to social media companies being handed valuable personal data. Even Elon Musk has weighed in. » | Helen Sullivan in Sydney | Thursday, November 28, 2024

Does Australia Need a Monarchy? King Charles Commences First Royal Tour

Oct 19, 2024 | King Charles III and Queen Camilla will be in Australia this week — their first visit here since taking the throne. Given the king's ongoing cancer treatment, and recent drastic changes to the British Royal Family, the trip won't be as busy as previous royal tours.

One in Four Cigarettes in Australia Are Illegally Purchased | ABC News

May 30, 2024 | Recent data has shown one in four cigarettes purchased in Australia are of black market origins. Illegal tobacco has robbed taxpayers billions of dollars and sparked a gang war to seize control of the trade.

Politicians across the world are not always the brightest of people! The more they push up the price of cigarettes, the more illegal cigarettes will be smoked as citizens try to circumvent the punitive taxes placed on cigarettes and tobacco products. They will also create greater health issues for citizens, because the authorities cannot control the quality of the cigarettes or tobacco products being sold on the black market. Meddlesome politicians have a lot to learn! – © Mark Alexander
