Australia has a rich history of rugby league , first taking up the sport in 1908 alongside people in Britain and New Zealand . The rule changes over the decades have been partly instigated in Australia as well . The country has been dominant over the other rugby league-playing nations for many years , but enjoys a strong rivalry with New Zealand .   Commonly known as `` league '' or simply `` football '' , and sometimes referred to as `` the greatest game of all '' , it is traditionally seen as a `` working man 's sport '' with its roots in the working class communities of Northern England , compared to rugby union which has its roots in prestigious English public schools . The Australian Rugby League Commission , the sport 's governing body in Australia , is working on ways to expand rugby league 's popularity across political and social boundaries .

neg: Australian Football International Cup The Australian Football International Cup ( also known as the AFL International Cup ) is an international sport competition in Australian rules football . It is currently co-ordinated by the Australian Football League 's game development arm and run every 3 years since 2002 .   The tournament is the largest international Australian rules football event and the only one that is open to worldwide senior competition ; although Australia , the home and world 's strongest nation in the game , does not participate as it would most likely dominate the competition .   The inaugural tournament was the 2002 Australian Football International Cup run by the International Australian Football Council under the auspices of the Australian Football League , which then assumed full control with the winding up of the IAFC .   The Cup was originally for male participants only , but in 2011 a women 's competition was established . After some suggestions the tournament would be run every 4 years , the AFL is currently maintaining the 3-year cycle .   The grand final of each men 's tournament has been held as a curtain raiser to a home-and-away match of the AFL premiership season .   Australia is not represented in the men 's tournament ; as the only nation where the sport is played professionally , the difference in skill level between an Australian national team and the nearest competitor is currently far too large for any contest to be worthwhile . As such , the tournament is geared towards development of the sport outside Australia and expatriate Australians may not compete , with the exception of the women 's OzIM team , where only indigenous and multicultural Australians are able to enter .   Currently there are efforts to help raise the event 's profile by broadcasting the 2017 International Cup on SBS , an organisation devoted to multicultural , multi-lingual entertainment .

neg: Hungarian Australians Hungarian Australians ( Ausztráliai magyarok ) are Australian citizens of Hungarian descent . The constant influx of Hungarian immigrants was marked by several waves . Most of the Hungarian immigrants to Australia came after World War II and after the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 . Hungarian Australians mostly live in state capital cities . Responses to the 2006 ABS-conducted national census questionnaires could reflect the true numbers of Hungarian Australians only if one takes into account not only those born in Hungary . In addition to that , those of ethnic Hungarian origin born outside Hungary who officially and specifically identified themselves of Hungarian ancestry would total 67,616 Hungarian Australian persons , residents of Australia as per ABS tabulation under `` Hungarian Ancestry '' ( Refer to Hungarian history as guide for clarification ) .  The breakdown according to State and Territory was : NSW 23,577 ; VIC 21,727 ; QLD 9795 ; SA 5,427 ; WA 4,230 ; TAS 877 ; ACT 1,652 ; NT 331 . Of the 67,616 total 20,166 or 29.82 % were born in Hungary , 31,103 or 46 % were aged 65 and over , 40,570 or 60 % had tertiary or trade qualifications . In the same 2006 Census , among Hungarian-born persons , the religious affiliation was as follows : 72.9 % declared Christianity , 11.8 % declared no religion or atheism , 7.4 % declared Judaism , 0.6 % declared other religions and 6.6 % did not answer the question .   Reduced in number and altered to new format , the questions in the last ABS ' National Census of 2011 only allowed for and yielded the following data : 19,089 were born in Hungary ; 20,875 speak in Hungarian at home including 3,861 ethnic Hungarians who speak Hungarian at home but were born in countries adjoining Hungary . An all encompassing , multigenerational total of 69,159 people claimed Hungarian ethnicity/ancestry and cultural heritage .

neg: Theatre of Australia Theatre of Australia refers to the history of the performing arts in Australia , or produced by Australians . There are theatrical and dramatic aspects to a number of Indigenous Australian ceremonies such as the corroboree . During its colonial period , Australian theatrical arts were generally linked to the broader traditions of English literature and to British and Irish theatre . Australian literature and theatrical artists ( including Aboriginal as well as Anglo-Celtic and multicultural migrant Australians ) have over the last two centuries introduced the culture of Australia and the character of a new continent to the world stage .   Individuals who have contributed to theatre in Australia and internationally include Sir Robert Helpmann , Dame Joan Sutherland , Barry Humphries , David Williamson , Cate Blanchett , Geoffrey Rush , Judy Davis , Jim Sharman , Tim Minchin and Baz Luhrmann . Notable theatrical institutions include the Sydney Opera House , and the National Institute of Dramatic Art in Sydney .

neg: European Australians European Australians , or White Australians , are citizens or residents of Australia whose ancestry originates from the peoples of Europe and the Caucasus .   Since the early 19th century , people of European descent have formed the vast majority of the population in Australia . The majority of European Australians are of British Isles -- English , Irish , Scottish , Welsh or Cornish ( Anglo-Celtic ) -- ancestral origin . In 2010 , it was estimated that around 74 % of the Australian population were Anglo-Celtic Australians .   Other significant ancestries include Italian , German , Greek , Dutch , New Zealanders ( European New Zealanders ) , Polish , Maltese and Croatian . Today , Australians of British and other European ancestries are the dominant majority in Australia , estimated at 92 % of the total population .   Historically , European immigrants had great influence over Australian history and society , which resulted in the perception of Australia as a European country .

neg: Australian Capital Territory The Australian Capital Territory ( ACT ; formerly , `` The Territory for the Seat of Government '' and , later , the `` Federal Capital Territory '' ) is the federal district in the south east of Australia , enclaved within New South Wales . Its only city is Canberra , the capital city of Australia .   Geographically , the territory is bounded by the Goulburn-Cooma railway line in the east , the watershed of Naas Creek in the south , the watershed of the Cotter River in the west , and the watershed of the Molonglo River in the north-east . The ACT also has a small strip of territory around the southern end of the Beecroft Peninsula , which is the northern headland of Jervis Bay .   The need for a national territory was flagged by colonial delegates during the Federation conventions of the late 19th century . Section 125 of the Australian Constitution provided that , following Federation in 1901 , land would be ceded freely to the new Federal Government . The territory was transferred to the Commonwealth by the state of New South Wales in 1911 , two years prior to the naming of Canberra as the national capital in 1913 . The floral emblem of the ACT is the royal bluebell and the bird emblem is the gang-gang cockatoo .   The economic activity of the Australian Capital Territory is heavily concentrated around Canberra . A stable housing market , steady employment and rapid population growth in the 21st century have led to economic prosperity and in 2011 CommSec ranked the ACT as the second best performing economic region in the country . This trend continued into 2016 , when the territory was ranked the third best performing out of all of Australia 's states and territories . There is a higher proportion of young adults in the region compared with other Australian states or territories . Approximately one-fifth of ACT residents were born outside of Australia , mainly in the United Kingdom . Almost one-fifth speak a language other than English at home , the most common being Chinese .

neg: Australian Aborigines' League The Australian Aborigines ' League was established in Melbourne , Australia , in 1934 by William Cooper and others , including Margaret Tucker , Eric Onus , Anna and Caleb Morgan , and Shadrach James .   In a Letter to the Editor of the West Australian , the Hon. Secretary of the Australian Aborigines League , William Cooper wrote that , `` The plea of our league is `` a fair deal for the dark race . ''   An early initiative by the League was to petition King George V for Indigenous Australians to be represented in the Australian Parliament , among other requests . 1,814 signatures were collected on the petition , although it was reported that William Cooper believed many Aboriginal people living on missions were too afraid to add their signature .   In 1938 it joined the New South Wales based Aborigines Progressive Association in staging a Day of Mourning on Australia Day ( 26 January ) in Sydney to draw attention to the treatment of Aborigines and to demand full citizenship and equal rights . Mr. W. Ferguson , organising secretary of the Aborigines ' Progressive Association of New South Wales , said of the planned national day of mourning : `` The aborigines do not want protection ... We have been protected for 150 years , and look what has become of us . Scientists have studied us and written books about us as though we were some strange curiosities , but they have not prevented us from contracting tuberculosis and other diseases , which have wiped us out in thousands . ''   On 6 December 1938 , following the Kristallnacht pogrom in Germany , a delegation of League members , led by Cooper , went to the German Consulate in Melbourne with a petition protesting against the `` cruel persecution of the Jewish people by the Nazi government of Germany '' .   The League was less active after Cooper 's death in 1941 but was revived after the Second World War by Douglas Nicholls and by Eric and Bill Onus . In the 1960s it became the Victorian branch of the Aborigines Advancement League .

pos: Haiti Haiti ( -LSB- ˈheɪti -RSB- Haïti -LSB- a.iti -RSB- Ayiti -LSB- ajiti -RSB- ) , officially the Republic of Haiti and formerly called Hayti , is a country located on the island of Hispaniola in the Greater Antilles archipelago of the Caribbean Sea . It occupies the western three-eighths of the island , which it shares with the Dominican Republic . Haiti is 27750 km2 in size and has an estimated 10.6 million people , making it the most populous country in the Caribbean Community ( CARICOM ) and the second-most populous country in the Caribbean as a whole .   The region was originally inhabited by the indigenous Taíno people . Spain discovered the island on 5 December 1492 during the first voyage of Christopher Columbus across the Atlantic . When Columbus initially landed in Haiti , he had thought he had found India or Asia . On Christmas Day 1492 , Columbus ' flagship the Santa Maria ran aground north of what is now Limonade . As a consequence , Columbus ordered his men to salvage what they could from the ship , and he created the first European settlement in the Americas , naming it La Navidad after the day the ship was destroyed .   The island was named La Española and claimed by Spain , which ruled until the early 17th century . Competing claims and settlements by the French led to the western portion of the island being ceded to France , which named it Saint-Domingue . The development of sugarcane plantations , worked by slaves brought from Africa , led to the colony being among the most lucrative in the world .   In the midst of the French Revolution ( 1789 -- 1799 ) , slaves and free people of colour revolted in the Haitian Revolution ( 1791 -- 1804 ) , culminating in the abolition of slavery and the defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte 's army at the Battle of Vertières . Afterward the sovereign nation of Haiti was established on 1 January 1804 the first independent nation of Latin America and the Caribbean , the second republic in the Americas , the only nation in the western hemisphere to have defeated three European superpowers ( France , Spain , and the UK ) , and the only nation in the world established as a result of a successful slave revolt . The rebellion that began in 1791 was led by a former slave and the first black general of the French Army , Toussaint Louverture , whose military genius and political acumen transformed an entire society of slaves into an independent country . Upon his death in a prison in France , he was succeeded by his lieutenant , Jean-Jacques Dessalines , who declared Haiti 's sovereignty and later became the first Emperor of Haiti , Jacques I . The Haitian Revolution lasted just over a dozen years ; and apart from Alexandre Pétion , the first President of the Republic , all the first leaders of government were former slaves . The Citadelle Laferrière is the largest fortress in the Americas . Henri Christophe former slave and first king of Haiti , Henri I built it to withstand a possible foreign attack .   It is a founding member of the United Nations , Organization of American States ( OAS ) , Association of Caribbean States , and the International Francophonie Organisation . In addition to CARICOM , it is a member of the International Monetary Fund , World Trade Organization , and the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States . It has the lowest Human Development Index in the Americas . Most recently , in February 2004 , a coup d'état originating in the north of the country forced the resignation and exile of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide . A provisional government took control with security provided by the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti ( MINUSTAH ) .

neg: List of populated places affected by the 2010 Haiti earthquake This is a list of populated places and structures affected by the 2010 Haiti earthquake , a magnitude 7.0 Mw earthquake which occurred on 12 January 2010 , with an epicentre approximately 25 km west of Port-au-Prince , Haiti ,  and affected an estimated three million people .  The Haitian government estimated that 230,000 people died ,  300,000 were injured and 1,000,000 made homeless by the quake .   The earthquake caused extensive damage to infrastructure in southwestern Haiti -- in February , Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive estimated that 250,000 residences and 30,000 commercial buildings had collapsed or were severely damaged .  The deputy mayor of Léogâne , at the epicentre of the earthquake , reported that 90 percent of buildings in the city were destroyed and Léogâne had `` to be totally rebuilt . '' As much as 90 percent of Grand-Goâve was devastated , including all public buildings . In Gressier , 40 -- 50 percent of buildings were destroyed ; the same in the worst-affected areas of Carrefour . Jacmel , the capital of Sud-Est Department , also was heavily affected ; 70 percent of homes in the city were damaged according to the mayor of Jacmel , as well as the airport , hospital and city hall building .   Many landmark buildings were damaged or destroyed , including the Presidential Palace , the National Assembly building ( Palais Législatif ) , the Supreme Court building ( Palais de Justice ) and the Holy Trinity and Port-au-Prince Cathedrals . Port-au-Prince 's main port and airport , the Port international de Port-au-Prince and Toussaint Louverture International Airport also suffered severe damage , as did Killick , the Haitian Coast Guard 's base in the capital city . The Ciné Institute , Haiti 's only film school , `` lost two buildings '' .

neg: Haiti at the Paralympics Haiti first participated in the Paralympic Games in 2008 , sending a single athlete , Nephtalie Jean-Louis , to compete in powerlifting . Due to unspecified `` problems with her weight '' , however , Jean-Louis was ultimately unable to compete , and was listed as a non-starter in her event ( powerlifting ) .   Thus it was only at the 2012 Summer Paralympics in London that Haitian athletes competed for the first time . The country was represented by two athletes : Nephtalie Jean-Louis , in the shot put and javelin rather than in powerlifting ; and Josue Cajuste , also in the shot put and javelin .   Haiti 's participation in the Paralympics is overseen by the Comité National Paralympique d'Haïti .

neg: Illegal logging in Madagascar Illegal logging has been a problem in Madagascar for decades and is perpetuated by extreme poverty and government corruption . Often taking the form of selective logging , the trade has been driven by high international demand for expensive , fine-grained lumber such as rosewood and ebony . Historically , logging and exporting in Madagascar have been regulated by the Malagasy government , although the logging of rare hardwoods was explicitly banned from protected areas in 2000 . Since then , government orders and memos have intermittently alternated between permitting and banning exports of precious woods . The most commonly cited reason for permitting exports is to salvage valuable wood from cyclone damage , although this reasoning has come under heavy scrutiny . This oscillating availability of Malagasy rosewood and other precious woods has created a market of rising and falling prices , allowing traders or `` timber barons '' to stockpile illegally sourced logs during periodic bans and then flood the market when the trade windows open and prices are high .   The unsustainable exploitation of these tropical hardwoods , particularly rosewood from the SAVA Region , has escalated significantly since the start of the 2009 Malagasy political crisis . Thousands of poorly paid Malagasy loggers have flooded into the national parks -- especially in the northeast -- building roads , setting up logging camps , and cutting down even the most difficult to reach rosewood trees . Illegal activities are openly flaunted , armed militia have descended upon local villages , and a rosewood mafia easily bribe government officials , buying export permits with ease . These illegal operations are funded in part by advance payments for future shipments ( financed by Chinese expatriates and Chinese importers ) and by loans from large , international banks . Demand is fueled mostly by a growing Chinese middle class and their desire for exotic imperial-style furniture . European and American demand for high-end musical instruments and furniture have also played a role . However , public scrutiny has put significant pressure on shipping companies involved in the trade , and the United States is starting to enforce the Lacey Act by investigating companies with suspected involvement in the illegal trade of Malagasy precious woods .   Logging in Madagascar 's tropical rainforests has had many secondary effects , beyond the risk of depletion of rare , endemic trees . Habitat has been disturbed , illegal mining has begun , local people have turned in desperation to the forests for resources , and poaching of endangered wildlife has escalated . Lemurs , the most well-known faunal group from the island , have been captured for the exotic pet trade as well as killed for food . Even the most critically endangered species have been targeted , primarily to feed a growing demand for delicacy food in up-scale restaurants . The local villagers have also suffered as tourism has declined sharply or ceased almost entirely . Some have resorted to working as loggers for minimal pay , while others have spoken out against it , often receiving death threats from the rosewood mafia in return .

neg: European Fair Trade Association The European Fair Trade Association is a Dutch association established informally in 1987 . It gained formal status in 1990 . It regroups 11 fair trade importers in 9 European countries : Austria , Belgium , France , Germany , Italy , Netherlands , Spain , Switzerland and the United Kingdom . EFTA members include Ctm altromercato , Gepa3 Fair Handelshaus and Traidcraft . EFTA 's aim is to support its member organizations in their work and encourage cooperation and coordination .   Fair trade importing organizations buy food and handicrafts from disadvantaged producers in developing countries and aim at improving market access and strengthening producer organizations . EFTA members generally follow Fairtrade Labelling Organizations International ( FLO ) Standards , to which additional standards may be added with the aim of providing special support to particular target groups ( women , ethnic minorities , politically persecuted , etc. ) . In Europe , they sell their products through Worldshops , local groups , wholesalers and mail order catalogues . Fair trade importing organizations also play an important role in awareness raising and in educating consumers and public authorities on fair trade and trade justice issues .

neg: Government of Haiti The government of Haiti is a semi-presidential republic , a multiparty system wherein the President of Haiti is head of state elected directly by popular elections .

neg: Human trafficking in Panama Panama is a source , transit , and destination country for women and children subjected to trafficking in persons , specifically forced prostitution . Although some Panamanian women and girls are found in forced prostitution in other countries in Latin America and in Europe , most Panamanian trafficking victims are exploited within the country . Although statistics were lacking , both NGOs and government officials anecdotally reported that commercial sexual exploitation of children was greater in rural areas and in the city of Colon than in Panama City . NGOs report that some Panamanian children , mostly young girls , are subjected to involuntary domestic servitude . Most foreign sex trafficking victims are adult women from Colombia , the Dominican Republic , and neighboring Central American countries ; some victims migrate voluntarily to Panama to work but are subsequently forced into prostitution . Weak controls along Panama 's borders make the nation an easy transit point for irregular migrants , from Latin America , East Africa , and Asia , some of whom may fall victim to human trafficking .   The government of Panama does not fully comply with the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking ; however , it is making significant efforts to do so . During the reporting period , authorities increased public awareness about the prostitution of children through seminars in schools and an outreach campaign with the tourism sector . Despite such efforts , the government showed little evidence of progress in combating human trafficking . Law enforcement efforts remained weak , the Panamanian penal code did not prohibit trafficking for forced labor , and the government failed to provide adequate assistance to victims and to identify trafficking victims among vulnerable populations ; therefore , Panama is placed on Tier 2 Watch List .

neg: Human trafficking in Europe Human trafficking in Europe is a regional manifestation of the wider practice of trade in humans for the purposes of various forms of coercive exploitation . Human trafficking has existed for centuries all over the world , and follows from the earlier practice of slavery , which differed from human trafficking in that it was legally recognized and accepted . It has become an increasing concern for countries in Europe since the fall of Communism . The transition to a market economy in some countries has led to both opportunity and a loss of security for citizens of these countries . Economic hardship and promises of prosperity have left many people vulnerable to trafficking within their countries and to destinations in other parts of Europe and the world . Unique to the Balkans are some of the situations that support trafficking , such as organized crime , and the recruitment strategies that perpetuate it . While some generalizations can be made , the countries within this region face different challenges and are at varying stages of compliance with the rules that govern trafficking in persons .

neg: End Human Trafficking Now The End Human Trafficking Now ( EHTN ) campaign was founded in 2006 in an attempt at uniting the business world in combatting human trafficking and modern slavery .   The campaign grew out of the `` Roundtable of the Business Community against Human Trafficking '' , a meeting held on 23 January 2006 in Athens , Greece , and organized under the auspices of the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs . The aim was to bring together business leaders and CEOs from the private sector , representatives of non-governmental organizations ( NGOs ) , international organizations , and governments to share their expertise , find a common stance , and develop measures to counter human trafficking . The meeting was cosponsored by prominent international organizations in the fight against human trafficking : the International Organization for Migration ( IOM ) , the United Nations Development Fund for Women ( UNIFEM ) , the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime ( UNODC ) , the World Bank and the Geneva Centre for the Democratic Control of Armed Forces ( DCAF ) . Notable attendants included Queen Sylvia of Sweden , Queen Sabika of Bahrain , former UN Secretary General Boutros Boutros-Ghali , Interpol Secretary General Ronald Noble and French composer Jean Michel Jarre .   From the gathering emerged a set of ethical principles against human trafficking , which became known as the Athens Ethical Principles . All signatories declare zero tolerance for dealing with businesses which benefit from human trafficking and promise to   Explicitly demonstrate the position of zero tolerance towards trafficking in human beings , especially women and children for sexual exploitation .  Contribute to prevention of trafficking in human beings including awareness-raising campaigns and education .  Develop a corporate strategy for an anti-trafficking policy which will permeate all our activities .  Ensure that our personnel fully comply with our anti-trafficking policy .  Encourage business partners , including suppliers , to apply ethical principles against human trafficking .  In an effort to increase enforcement it is necessary to call on governments to initiate a process of revision of laws and regulations that are directly or indirectly related to enhancing anti-trafficking policies .  Report and share information on best practices .   The first company to sign up to the principles was Manpower Inc. , whose president of corporate affairs and government affairs is also the president of the board of EHTN .   As of 2012 , over 12,500 corporations have signed the Principles .

neg: André Apaid André Apaid , Jr. , the leader of the Group of 184 in Haiti , the civil society movement which forced Jean-Bertrand Aristide from power in 2004 through a coup d'état . He is the head of Alpha Industries , one of the largest assembly factories in Haiti , and of Fondation Nouvelle Haiti , a member of the Initiative de la Societe Civile group .   Numerous allegations have been made against Apaid :  His father , Andre Apaid , Senior , a Haitian immigrant of Lebanese origin , had been a strong supporter of Jean-Claude Duvalier .  The root of the Apaid family 's opposition to Aristide is believed to be Aristide 's doubling of the minimum wage in 1991 , which conflicted with Alpha Industries business practices . Alpha Industries had been described in international reports as a notorious sweatshop . Apaid has also been accused of tax evasion .  Apaid is the head of the Group of 184 , a group that is seen by some as a legitimate political organization and by others as an instigator of violence .  Apaid reportedly has close ties with Thomas `` Labanye '' Robinson , a violent and dangerous gang leader in Cité Soleil , a slum outside Port-au-Prince . The Center for the Study of Human Rights states that Apaid pays Labanye to kill supporters of the Lavalas party , the political party of Aristide .  The switch to electronic voting in Haiti , though the majority of Haiti is without electricity , is being promoted by Claude Apaid , the brother of André Apaid and the owner of the computer company that has secured the government contract to supply voting machines .
