How did world war 1 shape Australia as a nation?
The Fact is that it had little to do with it. Australia was shaped as a nation by the hard work and innovation put into it by people that wanted to succeed. The development of Australians natural recourses and the development of its human recourses made Australia what it is. Sending Australians of to get them selves killed in a European war did nothing to further Australia as such as a nation.
Why were some against Australia being in the Vietnam War?
The Vietnam war according to many was an unjust war it was in fact not a war but an attempt by the South Vietnamese Government to force its own corrupt agenda on the people. Had there been an election they would have been voted out so they held of the election. many right minded Australians found this wrong. The fact that the USA wanted a tactical presence in that area of the word was not a good enough reason for Australians and innocent Vietnamese to be killed and maimed. but the war was not all for nothing as the war was fought for the free rights of the southern vietnemies...Australia went over there to be a helping cause to this fight in the war not a security cause.

How does Australia celebrate Halloween?
Halloween has not really taken off in Australia, and as such, Australians "should" not celebrate Halloween at all. It is largely an American cultural activity, and has no relevance to Australians at all. A poll held on Australia's leading news site (news.com.au) at the end of October 2009 indicated that 85% of Australians think Halloween should be ditched as it is totally irrelevant, whilst 15% of Australians said they love it and wanted to keep it.

What did Harold Holt do for Australia?
Initially, Harold Holt was popular with Australians, being an easy-going and affable Prime Minister.He sought closer ties with the United States, and this led to Australia's involvement in the Vietnam War. His popularity quickly waned with Australia's increasing involvement in the Vietnam War and Holt's seemingly indiscriminate following of US policies, regardless of their relevance to Australians. He was noted for that most unfortunate saying, "All the way with LBJ", referring to American President Lyndon Baines Johnson, and which signalled Australia's involvement in a war which had nothing to do with the country.
Was it ever illegal for aboriginals to marry Caucasians in Australia?
Yes. The White Settlers of Australia were strongly prejudiced against the Aboriginals believing them to be less intellectually sophisticated and generally barbaric. As a result, marrying them and procreating with them was banned to prevent the proliferation of "uncivilized children." The current attitude in Australia is nothing like this anymore and Aboriginals and White Australians can freely marry.
