query: Great Britain claimed the eastern half of Australia.

pos: Australia Australia ( -LSB- əˈstreɪliə -RSB- , -LSB- ɒ - -RSB- , -LSB- - ljə -RSB- ) , officially the Commonwealth of Australia , is a country comprising the mainland of the Australian continent , the island of Tasmania and numerous smaller islands . It is the world 's sixth-largest country by total area . The neighbouring countries are Papua New Guinea , Indonesia and East Timor to the north ; the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu to the north-east ; and New Zealand to the south-east . Australia 's capital is Canberra , and its largest urban area is Sydney .   For about 50,000 years before the first British settlement in the late 18th century , Australia was inhabited by indigenous Australians ,  who spoke languages classifiable into roughly 250 groups . After the European discovery of the continent by Dutch explorers in 1606 , Australia 's eastern half was claimed by Great Britain in 1770 and initially settled through penal transportation to the colony of New South Wales from 26 January 1788 . The population grew steadily in subsequent decades , and by the 1850s most of the continent had been explored and an additional five self-governing crown colonies established . On 1 January 1901 , the six colonies federated , forming the Commonwealth of Australia . Australia has since maintained a stable liberal democratic political system that functions as a federal parliamentary constitutional monarchy comprising six states and several territories . The population of 24 million is highly urbanised and heavily concentrated on the eastern seaboard .   Australia has the world 's 13th-largest economy and ninth-highest per capita income ( IMF ) . With the second-highest human development index globally , the country ranks highly in quality of life , health , education , economic freedom , and civil liberties and political rights . Australia is a member of the United Nations , G20 , Commonwealth of Nations , ANZUS , Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development ( OECD ) , World Trade Organization , Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation , and the Pacific Islands Forum .

neg: Australian Plate The Australian Plate is a major tectonic plate in the eastern and , largely , in the southern hemispheres . Originally a part of the ancient continent of Gondwana , Australia remained connected to India and Antarctica until approximately when India broke away and began moving north . Australia and Antarctica began rifting and completely separated roughly The Australian plate later fused with the adjacent Indian Plate beneath the Indian Ocean to form a single Indo-Australian Plate . However , recent studies suggest that the two plates have once again split apart and have been separate plates for at least 3 million years and likely longer . The Australian plate includes the continent of Australia , including Tasmania , as well portions of New Guinea , New Zealand , and the Indian Ocean basin .

neg: German New Guinea German New Guinea ( Deutsch-Neuguinea ) was the first part of the German colonial empire . It was a protectorate from 1884 until 1914 when it fell to Australian forces following the outbreak of the First World War . It consisted of the northeastern part of New Guinea and several nearby island groups . The mainland part of German New Guinea and the nearby islands of the Bismarck Archipelago and the North Solomon Islands are now part of Papua New Guinea . The Micronesian islands of German New Guinea are now governed as the Federated States of Micronesia , the Marshall Islands , Nauru , the Northern Mariana Islands and Palau .   The mainland portion , Kaiser-Wilhelmsland , was formed from the northeastern part of New Guinea . The islands to the east of Kaiser-Wilhelmsland , on annexation , were renamed the Bismarck Archipelago ( formerly the New Britannia Archipelago ) and the two largest islands renamed Neu-Pommern ( `` New Pomerania '' , today 's New Britain ) and Neu-Mecklenburg ( `` New Mecklenburg , now New Ireland ) . Due to their accessibility by water , however , these outlying islands were , and have remained , the most economically viable part of the territory .   With the exception of German Samoa , the German islands in the Western Pacific formed the `` Imperial German Pacific Protectorates '' . These were administered as part of German New Guinea and they included the German Solomon Islands ( Buka , Bougainville , and several smaller islands ) , the Carolines , Palau , the Marianas ( except for Guam ) , the Marshall Islands , and Nauru . The total land area of German New Guinea was 249500 km ² .

neg: Military history of New Zealand The military history of New Zealand is an aspect of the history of New Zealand that spans several hundred years . When first settled by Māori almost a millennium ago , there was much land and resources , but war began to break out as the country 's carrying capacity was approached . Initially being fought with close range weapons of wood and stone , this continued on and off until Europeans arrived , bringing with them new weapons such as muskets . Colonisation by Britain led to the New Zealand land wars in the 19th century in which settler and imperial troops and their Māori allies fought against other Māori and a handful of Pākehā . In the first half of the 20th century , New Zealanders of all races fought alongside Britain in the Boer War and both World Wars . In the second half of the century and into this century the New Zealand Defence Force has provided token assistance to the United States in several conflicts . New Zealand has also contributed troops extensively to multilateral peacekeeping operations .

neg: Pangerang The Pangerang or Bangerang are the indigenous Australians who traditionally occupied much of what is now north-eastern Victoria stretching along the Murray River to Echuca and into the areas of the southern Riverina in New South Wales .

neg: Australian migration zone The Australian migration zone is a legal device created by the Australian government for the purpose of Australia 's visa policy and immigration policy . In the Australian migration zone , which covers such Australian controlled territories as the government may determine , a non-citizen must hold an Australian visa . Without such a visa , or a bridging visa , the alien is treated as an `` unauthorised arrival '' . Prior to 2001 , the Australian migration zone consisted of the mainland , and some external territories .   To stem the flow of unauthorised arrivals into Australia , in September 2001 , the Australian government passed the Migration Amendment ( Excision from Migration Zone ) Act 2001 and the Migration Amendment ( Excision from Migration Zone ) ( Consequential Provisions ) Act 2001 which removed ( `` excised '' ) a number of external territories from the Australian migration zone for purposes relating to unauthorised arrivals . The effect of this change was to limit the ability of `` offshore entry persons '' to apply for a visa on arrival . The territories excised were Ashmore Island , Cartier Islands , Christmas Island , and Cocos Islands .   After Australian Indian Ocean territories were excised , increasing numbers of asylum seekers attempted to reach the Australian mainland by-passing those islands , which are closer to Indonesia . To combat this tactic , on 30 October 2012 , the Australian government excised the entire Australian mainland from the Australian migration zone . The legislation to excise the mainland itself from the migration zone was passed by Parliament on 16 May 2013 . Before the excise , asylum seekers who reached the mainland by boat could not be sent offshore to Australian immigration detention facilities on Nauru or Papua New Guinea 's Manus Island for immigration processing .

neg: Great Southern (Western Australia) __ NOTOC __   The Great Southern Region is one of the nine regions of Western Australia , as defined by the Regional Development Commissions Act 1993 , for the purposes of economic development . It is a section of the larger South Coast of Western Australia and neighbouring agricultural regions .   The region officially comprises the local government areas of Albany , Broomehill-Tambellup , Cranbrook , Denmark , Gnowangerup , Jerramungup , Katanning , Kent , Kojonup , Plantagenet and Woodanilling .   The Great Southern Region has an area of 39007 km2 and a population of about 54,000 . Its administrative centre is the historic port of Albany . It has a Mediterranean climate , with hot , dry summers and cool , wet winters .   The economy of the Great Southern Region is dominated by livestock farming and crop-growing . It has some of the most productive cereal grain and pastoral land in the state , and is a major producer of wool and lamb . Albany is a major fishing centre .   The coast of the Great Southern Region has milder summer weather than areas on the west coast proper and is also a popular destination for holidaymakers , tourists , anglers and surfers . Albany is home to the Kalgan River which is associated with riverboats , from 1918 to 1935 with the Silver Star which lowered its funnel to get under a bridge , and today with the Kalgan Queen which lowers its roof to pass beneath the same bridge .   Noongar people have inhabited the region for tens of thousands of years . European settlement began with the establishment of a temporary British military base , commanded by Major Edmund Lockyer , at King George Sound ( Albany ) on Christmas Day , 1826 . Albany is consequently regarded as the oldest European settlement in Western Australia .

neg: Western Province (Victoria) Western Province was a former electorate of the Victorian Legislative Council ( Australia ) , the upper house of the Parliament of Victoria . Victoria was a colony in Australia when Western Province was created . From Federation in 1901 , Victoria was a state in the Commonwealth of Australia .   Western Province was one of the six original upper house Provinces of the bi-cameral Victorian Parliament created in November 1856 .   Western Province was defined in the Victorian Constitution Act , 1855 , as : `` Including the Counties of Ripon , Hampden , Heytesbury , Villiers , Normanby , Dundas , and Follett . ''   In 1882 , several new Provinces were created , including Nelson Province and Wellington Province , the numbers of members elected for Western Province was reduced to three from this time . Another redistribution in 1904 reduced the number of members to two .   In 2006 , the Western Province ( along with all the other provinces in the Legislative Council ) was abolished and replaced by regions . All of the area covered by Western Province is contained in the larger Western Victoria Region .

neg: 1894 Colonial Conference The Colonial Conference of 1894 was called by the government of Canada to continue discussion begun at the First Colonial Conference in 1887 on a proposal to lay a telegraph cable at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean to create a communications link between Canada and Australasia and , by extension , to the rest of the British Empire as part of what became referred to as the All Red Line network of cables throughout the Empire .   The opening ceremonies were in the Senate Chamber in the Centre Block of the Canadian parliament buildings but day-to-day meetings occurred in the offices of the Minister of Trade and Commerce .   The Earl of Jersey attended the conference as the representative of the British government and was instructed to listen and report back but not to make any commitments on behalf of the government .   All self-governing British colonies were invited to send delegates with the exception of Newfoundland Colony . Western Australia and Natal Colony did not send representatives due to domestic priorities . The colony of Fiji was also invited due to its geographical location on the proposed route of the cable but declined . Delegates were sent to the conference by Canada , New Zealand , the Australian self-governing colonies of New South Wales , Queensland , South Australia , Tasmania and Victoria and the South African colony of Cape Colony . Unlike other colonial conference , the colonial delegates were cabinet ministers or legislators or government representatives rather than Prime Ministers .   Resolutions were proposed to the conference and it was agreed that decisions would be made on the basis of `` one colony , one vote '' but the resolutions were not binding on the British government or the Colonial Office .   In addition to discussing telecommunications issues , the conference also approved a resolution favouring preferential trade within the Empire , however , this resolution was opposed by Australia 's largest colonies , New South Wales and Queensland , who were suspicious the Canadian initiative seemed designed to undermine Australia 's protective tariffs . The proposal would be made again to the 1897 Colonial Conference but was not agreed to and would not be acted upon until the British Empire Economic Conference in 1932 .

neg: Western Desert cultural bloc The Western Desert cultural bloc or just Western Desert is a cultural region in central Australia covering about 600,000 square kilometres , including the Gibson Desert , the Great Victoria Desert , the Great Sandy and Little Sandy Deserts in the Northern Territory , South Australia and Western Australia . The Western Desert cultural bloc can be said to stretch from the Nullarbor in the south to the Kimberley in the north , and from the Percival Lakes in the west through to the Pintupi lands in the Northern Territory .   The term is often used by anthropologists and linguists when discussing the 40 or so Aboriginal groups that live there , who speak dialects of one language , often called the Western Desert language .   Apart from the Canning Stock Route and the Rabbit-proof fence , white contact with this part of Australia was very rare , until the 1960s :   No one had been out there . The desert , as far as the Department -LSB- WA Dept of Suppy -RSB- was concerned ... was an unknown , as it was to the whole of Western Australia . The Warburton Ranges -LSB- were -RSB- as far as anybody got . People in those days knew absolutely nothing about Aborigines . ''

neg: Port Phillip District Special Surveys In August 1840 , the Colonial Land and Emigration Commissioners of the British Government decided to allow the purchase of land anywhere in the Port Phillip District of New South Wales -- now Victoria , Australia . Special Surveys could be requested to enable the purchase of 5120 acre , or eight square miles , for ₤ 1 per acre . This price was significantly below the value of the land at that time .   To restrict the sale of valuable land , Governor Gipps introduced regulations in March 1841 that required the land to be more than 5 mi from a surveyed township , and to restrict the water-frontage to one mile ( 1.6 km ) per four square miles of area .   Eight special surveys were advertised in June 1841 :   Frederic Unwin 's survey at Templestowe , near Melbourne  Henry Dendy 's survey at Brighton , near Melbourne  William Rutledge 's survey at Kilmore  John Orr 's survey near the Albert River , near Corner Inlet  William Rutledge 's survey near the Albert River , near Corner Inlet  Hugh Jamieson 's survey between Mount Martha and Arthur 's Seat on the Mornington Peninsula .  Henry Elgar 's survey at Box Hill and Balwyn , near Melbourne  John Reeve 's survey on the Tarra River , near Corner Inlet   A survey for James Atkinson for 5120 acre near Port Fairy was advertised in 1843 .  This survey had been delayed by disputes over the boundaries .   Rutledge did not take up the Port Albert survey . In its place he purchased land near the present Koroit in western Victoria .   Originally the five mile ( 8 km ) distance from Melbourne was taken from the declared outer boundary of Melbourne , Hoddle Street . This was later amended to the distance from the centre of Melbourne , apparently taken as the intersection of Swanston Street and Elizabeth Street . As a consequence , Unwin and Elgar were granted land nearer to the city . The original location of the special surveys are shown in maps of Port Phillip District by Russell and Hoddle , drawn in 1841 .   The regulation was rescinded in August 1841 .   The Unwin 's , Dendy 's and especially Elgar 's Special Surveys have had a lasting effect on the alignment of Melbourne subdivisions and roads as some boundaries did not conform to the one mile ( 1.6 km ) interval survey Section lines running north-south and east-west referenced from the survey datum at Batman 's Hill .

neg: Journals of the First Fleet EngvarB | date = January 2014 )   There are 20 known contemporary accounts of the First Fleet made by people sailing in the Fleet , including journals ( both manuscript and published ) and letters . The eleven ships of the Fleet , carrying over 1,000 convicts , soldiers and seamen , left England on 13 May 1787 and arrived in Botany Bay between 18 and 20 January 1788 before relocating to Port Jackson to establish the first European settlement in Australia , a penal colony which became Sydney . At least 12 people on the Fleet kept a journal of their experiences , some of which were later published , while others wrote letters home during the voyage or soon after their arrival in Australia . These personal accounts of the voyage were made by people including surgeons , officers , soldiers , ordinary seamen , and Captain Arthur Phillip , who commanded the expedition . Only one known account , that of James Martin , was by a transported convict . Their journals document the day to day experiences of those in the Fleet , and record significant events including the first contact between the European settlers and the Aboriginal people of the area . In 2009 , the manuscript journals were included in The Australian Memory of the World Register , a regional register associated with the UNESCO international Memory of the World programme .

neg: Hope Islands National Park Hope Islands National Park is a national park in Queensland ( Australia ) 1,521 km north-west of Brisbane . The park consists of four islands : East Hope and West Hope , Snapper Island and Struck Island .  The Hope islands are situated approximately 37 km south-east of Cooktown and about 8 km offshore  Struck Island is a rocky outcrop just off Thornton Beach and south of Cape Tribulation  Snapper island is about two km long and is at the mouth of the Daintree River . It is about 20 km north of Port Douglas   Access is via private vessel or by permitted commercial operators .   The Hope islands were named by Lt James Cook in June 1770 , as his ship HMS Endeavour edged its way northward along the eastern Australian coastline during his first voyage in the Pacific . Cook had hoped to put ashore on the islands when they were first sighted 10 June 1770 , but found the surrounding water too shallow to bring Endeavour close . Later that night Endeavour struck a reef and narrowly avoided sinking ; Cook then stood her offshore while he searched for a point on the mainland upon which to beach her for repairs . Cook named them on 12 June as Endeavour headed further north , because `` we were always in hopes of being able to reach these Islands . ''

neg: Colony of New South Wales The colony of New South Wales was a colony of the British Empire from 1788 to 1901 , when it became a State in the federal Commonwealth of Australia on 1 January 1901 . At its greatest extent , the colony of New South Wales included the present-day Australian states of New South Wales , Queensland , Victoria , Tasmania , and South Australia , as well as New Zealand . The first `` responsible '' self-government of New South Wales was formed on 6 June 1856 with Sir Stuart Alexander Donaldson appointed by Governor Sir William Denison as its first Colonial Secretary which in those days accounted also as the Premier .

neg: Pilbara The Pilbara ( -LSB- ˈpɪlbərʌ -RSB- or -LSB- ˈpɪlbrʌ -RSB- ) is a large , dry , thinly populated region in the north of Western Australia . It is known for its Aboriginal peoples ; its ancient landscapes ; the red earth ; its vast mineral deposits , in particular iron ore ; and as a global biodiversity hotspot for subterranean fauna . It is one of nine regions of the Regional Development Commissions Act 1993 , and is also a bioregion under the Interim Biogeographic Regionalisation for Australia ( IBRA ) .   The region has an estimated population of 48,610 . The Pilbara covers an area of 502,000 km2 , which includes some of Earth 's oldest rock formations . It includes landscapes of coastal plains and mountain ranges with cliffs and gorges . The major settlements of the region are Port Hedland , Karratha and Newman . The three main ports in this region are Port Hedland , Dampier and Port Walcott .   The area is known for its petroleum , natural gas and iron ore deposits , which contribute significantly to Australia 's economy . Other than mining , pastoral activities as well as fishing and tourism are the main industries .

neg: British Overseas Territories The 14 British Overseas Territories ( BOT ) are territories under the jurisdiction and sovereignty of the United Kingdom . They are the parts of the British Empire that have not been granted independence or have voted to remain British territories . These territories do not form part of the United Kingdom and , with the exception of Gibraltar , are not part of the European Union . Most of the inhabited territories are internally self-governing , with the UK retaining responsibility for defence and foreign relations . The rest are either uninhabited or have a transitory population of military or scientific personnel . They share the British monarch ( Elizabeth II ) as head of state .   The term `` British Overseas Territory '' was introduced by the British Overseas Territories Act 2002 , replacing the term British Dependent Territory , introduced by the British Nationality Act 1981 . Prior to 1 January 1983 , the territories were officially referred to as British Crown Colonies . With the exceptions of the British Antarctic Territory and South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands ( which host only officials and research station staff ) and the British Indian Ocean Territory ( used as a military base ) , the Territories retain permanent civilian populations . Permanent residency for the 7,000 or so civilians living in the Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia is limited to citizens of the Republic of Cyprus .   Collectively , the Territories encompass a population of about 250,000 people and a land area of about 667018 sqmi . The vast majority of this land area , 660000 sqmi , constitutes the almost uninhabited British Antarctic Territory , while the largest territory by population , Bermuda , accounts for almost a quarter of the total BOT population . At the other end of the scale , three territories have no civilian population ; the Antarctic territory , the British Indian Ocean Territory ( from which the Chagos Islanders were controversially removed ) and South Georgia . Pitcairn Islands , settled by the survivors of the Mutiny on the Bounty , is the smallest settled territory with 49 inhabitants , while the smallest by land area is Gibraltar on the southern tip of the Iberian peninsula . The United Kingdom participates in the Antarctic Treaty System and , as part of a mutual agreement , the British Antarctic Territory is recognised by four of the other sovereign nations making claims to Antarctic territory .   Although the Crown dependencies of Jersey , Guernsey and the Isle of Man are also under the sovereignty of the British monarch , they are in a different constitutional relationship with the United Kingdom . The British Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies are themselves distinct from the Commonwealth realms , a group of 15 independent countries ( and the United Kingdom ) which each also have Elizabeth II as their reigning monarch , and from the Commonwealth of Nations , a voluntary association of 52 countries mostly with historic links to the British Empire ( which also includes all Commonwealth realms ) .   the Minister responsible for the Territories excluding the Falkland Islands , Gibraltar and the Sovereign Base Areas is Baroness Anelay , Minister of State for the Commonwealth and the UN . The other three territories are the responsibility of Sir Alan Duncan MP , Minister of State for Europe and the Americas .

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: Pax Britannica Pax Britannica ( Latin for `` British Peace '' , modelled after Pax Romana ) was the period of relative peace in Europe ( 1815 -- 1914 ) during which the British Empire became the global hegemonic power and adopted the role of a global police force .   Between 1815 and 1914 , a period referred to as Britain 's `` imperial century , '' around 10,000,000 sqmi of territory and roughly 400 million people were added to the British Empire . Victory over Napoleonic France left the British without any serious international rival , other than perhaps Russia in central Asia . When Russia tried expanding its influence in the Balkans , the British and French defeated it in the Crimean War ( 1854 -- 56 ) , thereby protecting the by-then feeble Ottoman Empire .   Britain 's Royal Navy controlled most of the key maritime trade routes and enjoyed unchallenged sea power . Alongside the formal control it exerted over its own colonies , Britain 's dominant position in world trade meant that it effectively controlled access to many regions , such as Asia and Latin America . British merchants , shippers and bankers had such an overwhelming advantage over everyone else that in addition to its colonies it had an `` informal empire '' .

neg: Racism in Australia Racism in Australia traces both historical and contemporary racist community attitudes , as well as political non-compliance and governmental negligence on United Nations human rights standard and incidents in Australia . Contemporary Australia is the product of multiple waves of immigration , predominantly from Great Britain and Ireland .   Laws forbid racial and other forms of discrimination and protect freedom of religion . Demographic analysis indicates a high level of inter-ethnic marriage : according to the Australian Census , a majority of Indigenous Australians partnered with non-indigenous Australians , and a majority of third-generation Australians of non-English-speaking background had partnered with persons of different ethnic origin ( the majority partnered with persons of Australian or Anglo-Celtic background , which constitutes the majority ethnic grouping in Australia ) . In 2009 , about 25.6 per cent of the estimated resident population of Australia comprised those born overseas .   Indigenous peoples of Australia , who had lived in Australia for at least 40,000 years before the arrival of British settlers in 1788 , were dispossessed from their land in 1788 by Britain , which claimed Eastern Australia as its own on the basis of the now discredited doctrine of terra nullius . Initially , indigenous Australians were in most states deprived of the rights of full citizenship of the new nation on grounds of their race and restrictive immigration laws were introduced to preference white European immigrants to Australia . Discriminatory laws against indigenous people and multiethnic immigration were dismantled in the early decades of the Post War period . A 1967 Referendum regarding Aboriginal rights was carried with over 90 % approval by the electorate . Legal reforms have re-established Aboriginal Land Rights under Australian law and in the early 21st century , indigenous Australians account for around 2.5 % of the population , owning outright around 20 % of all land . Intense focus on the impact of historical policies like the removal of mixed ethnicity Aboriginal children from their Aboriginal parent resulted in a bipartisan Parliamentary apology to Aborigines carried in 2008 . Aboriginal health indicators remain lower than other ethnic groups within Australia and again are the subject of political debate .   Policies of multiculturalism were pursued in the post-war period and first Eastern and Southern European , then Asian and African immigration increased significantly . Legislation including the Racial Discrimination Act 1975 , the Commonwealth Racial Hatred Act ( 1995 ) and the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission Act ( 1986 ) outlaw racial discrimination in the public sphere in Australia . In recent decades , anti-immigration political parties like the One Nation Party have received extensive media coverage , but only marginal electoral support and successive governments have maintained large , multiethnic programs of immigration . As in other Western nations , tensions in the aftermath of events like the September 11 attacks and Bali Bombing by radical Islamists contributed to strained ethnic relations in some Australian communities .

neg: South Australia–Victoria border dispute The border between the Australian state of South Australia and what is today the State of Victoria was established in 1836 by imperial letters patent `` as the 141st degree meridian of longitude east of Greenwich '' . In 1836 the land we now call Victoria was part of the colony of New South Wales , so the original Victorian border was actually drawn between the colonies of South Australia and New South Wales . Due to human error by numerous explorers and surveyors , it took more than 75 years and a protracted legal dispute before the precise placement of the border was settled , resulting in the forfeiture of more than 500 sqmi of territory from South Australia to Victoria .

neg: List of former DuMont Television Network affiliates This is a partial list of affiliate stations of the DuMont Television Network , which operated in the United States from 1946 to 1956 . At its peak in 1954 , DuMont was affiliated with around 200 TV stations . In its later years , DuMont was carried mostly on poorly watched UHF channels or had only secondary affiliations on VHF stations . The DuMont affiliation ending dates listed here are somewhat tentative in several cases ; DuMont ended most operations on April 1 , 1955 , and honored network commitments until August 1956 .   Many stations in the early years of television affiliated with more than one network . There were not enough local stations in most cities for each of the four major networks to have an affiliate , leading to the four networks ( as well as a number of smaller networks ) to fight for air time . Local TV stations were free to `` cherry-pick '' which programs they would broadcast . Many of DuMont 's `` affiliates '' carried very little DuMont programming , choosing to air one or two more popular programs ( such as Life Is Worth Living , which was aired by 169 stations during the 1953 -- 1954 season ) and/or sports programming on the weekends . Few stations carried the full DuMont program line-up .   DuMont 's advertising revenues depended on being able to be viewed nationwide . As a result , the company made affiliation agreements which have been described as `` a crazy patchwork of deals '' . In many cities , DuMont was affiliated with more than one TV station in order to get more of its programming cleared for broadcast . No definitive list of affiliated stations from 1946 to 1956 exists , and many sources contradict one another .   DuMont 's owned-and-operated stations are highlighted in yellow . The Paramount owned-and-operated stations , which did n't carry DuMont programs but were ruled DuMont O&O s by the FCC , are shown in pink .

neg: America's Most Wanted America 's Most Wanted is an American television program that was produced by 20th Television . At the time of its cancellation by the Fox television network , it was the longest-running program in the network 's history ( 24 years ) , a mark since surpassed by the long-running animated sitcom , The Simpsons . The show started off as a half-hour program on February 7 , 1988 . In 1990 , the show 's format was changed from 30 minutes to 60 minutes . The show 's format was reverted back to 30 minutes in 1995 , and then , to 60 minutes in 1996 .   The following September , the show 's host , John Walsh , announced that it would resume later that year on the cable network Lifetime . After a brief run on Lifetime , however , on March 28 , 2013 the show was canceled again . This was reportedly due to low ratings and the level of royalty payments to Fox which holds the trademark and copyright . It was succeeded by John Walsh Investigates , a one-off special on Lifetime .   The show featured actors portraying the crimes of dangerous fugitives , interspersed with on-camera interviews , and was narrated by Walsh himself .

neg: The Baseball Network The Baseball Network was a short-lived television broadcasting joint venture between ABC , NBC and Major League Baseball . Under the arrangement , beginning in the 1994 season , the league produced its own in-house telecasts of games , which were then brokered to air on ABC and NBC . This was perhaps most evident by the copyright beds shown at the end of the telecasts , which stated `` The proceeding program has been paid for by the office of The Commissioner of Baseball '' . The Baseball Network was the first television network in the United States to be owned by a professional sports league .   The package included coverage of games in primetime on selected nights throughout the regular season ( under the branding Baseball Night in America ) , along with coverage of the postseason and the World Series . Unlike previous broadcasting arrangements with the league , there was no national `` game of the week '' during the regular season ; these would be replaced by multiple weekly regional telecasts on certain nights of the week . Additionally , The Baseball Network had exclusive coverage windows ; no other broadcaster could televise MLB games during the same night that The Baseball Network was televising games .   The arrangement did not last long ; due to the effects of a players ' strike on the remainder of the 1994 season , and poor reception from fans and critics over how the coverage was implemented , The Baseball Network would be disbanded after the 1995 season . While NBC would maintain rights to certain games , the growing Fox network became the league 's new national broadcast partner beginning in 1996 , with its then-parent company News Corporation eventually purchasing the Los Angeles Dodgers .

neg: Internet television in Australia Internet television in Australia is the digital distribution of movies and television content via the Internet . In Australia , Internet television is provided by five major pay-per-view providers , in addition to several niche television streaming services . Australia 's five major free-to-air television networks all offer catch up TV of previously broadcast content to watch via the Internet or via podcasts - drawing on both domestic and foreign content . A feature of Internet television is that a user can view TV or video on demand . Some distributors provide content as downloads , whiles other streaming media ; the main difference being that with downloads the end-user must have storage capacity for the content on their device and must wait for the download to be completed before the content can be viewed , while streamed content can be viewed almost immediately , but is not stored for a later second viewing .   Whether downloaded or streamed , video files over the Internet are usually metered in Australia , with most ISPs setting download quotas which can limit the downloads that a subscriber can make without incurring additional costs . ISPs also provide plans with unlimited downloads . Some ISPs offer downloads on a quota-free basis for partnered television services , which is also known as `` unmetered '' content .

neg: Major film studio A major film studio is a production and film distributor that releases a substantial number of films annually and consistently commands a significant share of box office revenue in a given market . In the North American , Western , and global markets , the major film studios , often simply known as the majors , are commonly regarded as the six diversified media conglomerates whose various film production and distribution subsidiaries collectively command approximately 80 to 85 percent of U.S. and Canadian box office revenue . The term may also be applied more specifically to the primary motion picture business subsidiary of each respective conglomerate .   The `` Big Six '' majors , whose operations are based in or around the Los Angeles neighborhood of Hollywood , are all centered in film studios active during Hollywood 's Golden Age of the 1930s and 1940s . In three cases -- 20th Century Fox , Warner Bros. , and Paramount -- the studios were one of the `` Big Five '' majors during that era as well . In two cases -- Columbia and Universal -- the studios were also considered majors , but in the next tier down , part of the `` Little Three '' . In the sixth case , Walt Disney Studios was an independent production company during the Golden Age ; it was an important Hollywood entity , but not a major . Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer , United Artists , and RKO were majors .   Today , Disney is the only member of the Big Six whose parent entity is still located near Los Angeles ( actually , on Disney 's studio lot and in the same building ) . The five others report to conglomerates headquartered in New York City , Philadelphia , and Tokyo . Of the Big Six , Paramount is the only one still based in Hollywood , and Paramount and Fox are the only ones still located within the Los Angeles city limits , while Disney and Warner Bros. are located in Burbank , Columbia in Culver City , and Universal in the unincorporated area of Universal City .   Most of today 's Big Six control subsidiaries with their own distribution networks that concentrate on arthouse pictures ( e.g. Fox Searchlight Pictures ) or genre films ( e.g. Sony 's Screen Gems ) ; several of these specialty units were shut down or sold off between 2008 and 2010 . The six major studios are contrasted with smaller production and/or distribution companies , which are known as independents or `` indies '' . The leading independent producer/distributors -- Lionsgate Films , The Weinstein Company , and former major studio Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer -- are sometimes referred to as `` mini-majors '' . From 1998 through 2005 , DreamWorks SKG commanded a large enough market share to arguably qualify it as a seventh major , despite its relatively small output . In 2006 , DreamWorks was acquired by Viacom , Paramount 's corporate parent . In late 2008 , DreamWorks once again became an independent production company ; its films were distributed by Disney 's Touchstone Pictures until 2016 , at which point distribution switched to Universal .   The Big Six major studios are today primarily backers and distributors of films whose actual production is largely handled by independent companies -- either long-running entities or ones created for and dedicated to the making of a specific film . The specialty divisions often simply acquire distribution rights to pictures in which the studio has had no prior involvement . While the majors still do a modicum of true production , their activities are focused more in the areas of development , financing , marketing , and merchandising . Those business functions are still usually performed in or near Los Angeles , even though the runaway production phenomenon means that most films are now mostly or completely shot on location at places outside Los Angeles .   Since the dawn of filmmaking , the U.S. major film studios have dominated both American cinema and the global film industry . U.S. studios have benefited from a strong first-mover advantage in that they were the first to industrialize filmmaking and master the art of mass-producing and distributing high-quality films with broad cross-cultural appeal . Today , the Big Six majors routinely distribute hundreds of films every year into all significant international markets ( that is , where discretionary income is high enough for consumers to afford to watch films ) . It is very rare , if not impossible , for a film to reach a broad international audience on multiple continents and in multiple languages without first being picked up by one of the majors for distribution .

neg: The Army Hour The Army Hour was a radio news program in the United States , broadcast on NBC April 5 , 1942-Nov . 11 , 1945 .   Planning for The Army Hour , with Col. Edward M. Kirby in charge , began soon after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor . Sponsored by the War Department and the U.S. Army , the program brought `` on-the-spot stories and demonstrations from Army bases and fields of battle '' to listeners back home in America . The program was `` an attempt to bring the reality of the war home to the American people through the power and immediacy of radio . ''  One reviewer wrote in a newspaper that the secretary of war had compared The Army Hour broadcasts to `` full-scale military operations ... as far as communications are concerned , '' and the writer agreed . NBC 's investment was significant , also . In 1957 , CBS executive Lou Cowan ( who helped to develop The Army Hour while working with the Office of War Information ) said that the program was `` presented at an annual cost of a half-million dollars to the network -LSB- NBC -RSB- with no financial return . ''   Radio historian John Dunning wrote that the program `` gave Americans their first in-depth look at the war and how it was being fought , '' and a 1942 article in the trade publication Billboard described it as `` a weekly official message and a source of authoritative information from the Army to the civilian population of the country ... '' In 1943 , another article in Billboard commented about Army Hour : `` excellent substitute for first-hand knowledge of war ; genuine picture of what loved ones are living thru ; calm and objective presentation of facts of war .

The intent , he later explained , was to explore the U.S. spirit under such conditions , not to portray the conflict of the Soviet coup .   Described in promotional materials as `` the most ambitious American miniseries ever created , '' Amerika aired for 14 1/2 hours ( including commercials ) over seven nights ( beginning February 15 , 1987 ) , and reportedly cost US$ 40 million to produce .

In 2012 , following a vote by their General Chapter , the Dominican Sisters of Catherine de ' Ricci became the eighth foundation to join the Dominican Sisters of Peace .  1822 : Dominicans of St. Catharine , founded in Washington County , ( later St. Catharine ) , Kentucky  1830 : Dominican Sisters of St. Mary of the Springs , founded in Somerset , Ohio ; moved to Columbus , Ohio 1868  1860 : Congregation of St. Mary , founded in New Orleans , Louisiana  1880 : Dominican Sisters of St. Catherine de ' Ricci , founded in Albany , New York ( later moved to Elkins Park , Pennsylvania )  1902 : Dominican Sisters of Great Bend , Kansas , founded in Great Bend , Kansas  1927 : Eucharistic Missionaries of St. Dominic , founded in New Orleans , Louisiana , as the Missionary Servants of the Most Holy Eucharist ; incorporated into the Dominican Order in 1956 as the Eucharistic Missionaries of St. Dominic .  1929 : Sisters of St. Dominic of the Immaculate Heart of Mary , founded in Akron , Ohio  1950 : Congregation of St. Rose of Lima , founded in Oxford , Michigan .  The process by which the original seven Dominican communities came together to form a new religious institute , a pontifical canonical union with formal recognition by the Vatican , is known as reconfiguration . As demographics changed following the cultural movements of the late 20th century , the seven congregations determined to collaborate in this manner so that their mission could be most effectively realized . All shared the Dominican charism and found support for this new endeavor in Perfectae Caritatis , one of the documents issued by the Second Vatican Council : `` Independent institutes and monasteries should , when opportune and the Holy See permits , form federations if they can be considered as belonging to the same religious family . Others who have practically identical constitutions and rules and a common spirit should unite , particularly when they have too few members . Finally , those who share the same or a very similar active apostolate should become associated , one to the other . ''  The deliberations that led to the merger took place over a period of seven years , culminating in the inaugural General Chapter of April 15 -- 21 , 2009 . The first Leadership Team of the new congregation was elected during that General Chapter . At the time of the foundation of the new religious institute , the Dominican Sisters of Peace numbered more than 650 members , with more than 500 associates . As of 2017 , the community has 510 members , and over 600 lay associates .
