Chapter 1. Racism and the law -- Chapter 2. Addressing racial prejudice.

Sommario/riassunto

Cultural diversity is central to Australia's national identity, however many Australians regularly experience racism. Racist attitudes are common in the form of unconscious bias, intolerance and prejudice; at its worst, racial discrimination manifests in violence and abuse. This book reveals the extent, causes and impacts of racism. What are people's rights under racial discrimination and hatred laws? How can we can address racist attitudes and behaviours together as one people?

Sommario/riassunto

The decision to implement environmental protection options is a political one. These, and other political and social decisions affect the balance of the ecosystem and how the point of equilibrium desired is to be reached. This book develops a stochastic, temporal model of how political processes influence and are influenced by ecosystem processes and looks at how to find the most politically feasible plan for managing an at-risk ecosystem. Finding such a plan is accomplished by first fitting a mechanistic political and ecological model to a data set composed of observations on both political a
