## Overview

### Australia

For most of its history, the land known as "Australia" has been inhabited by various Aboriginal peoples, who were isolated from the rest of the world. Upon the European discovery of this vast landmass in 1606, many countries tried to take portions of it. Eventually, the British took the entire island of Australia, turning it into one of their most prosperous - and largest - colonies. Due to the vast amount of available land, the British Empire sent convicts to the territory, as a way of keeping the British Isles crime-free. Eventually, in 1901, Australia got its first Prime Minister, and eventually independence from Great Britain. As a newly-formed nation, Australia joined the First and Second World Wars, helping to put its place on the world map. Today, Australia is one of the most visited tourist destinations in the world, as well as having strong economic and political links with other countries.

### John Curtin

Wildly popular and widely respected, the Right Honorouable John Curtin was an Australian politician who was the 14th Prime Minister of Australia from 1941 to 1945. It wasCurtin of whom successfully led Australia through the period when the nation was directly threatened by the Japanese advance in World War II, and is today widely regarded as one of the country's greatest ever prime ministers.

#### Dawn of Man

Praise be upon you, John Curtin, 14th Prime Minister of Australia.Yours is a vast and unique land, and its people coming from all walks of life for thousands of years. It was you who fought for the rights of the working man as a member of the Australian Labor Party, as well as being a strong advocate for the rights of women and children. Coming into your own, you became Prime Minister in 1941, in the heat of the Second World War. You worked with your allies to defend your homeland from the Japanese threat, helping to defeat the enemy at Milne Bay, avenging those who had died during Japansese bombing runs on Darwin and Queensland. You also took great strides in setting up a far-reaching, federally administered range of social services, improving the lives of thousands, including the indigenous people of the country, for many years to come. Though your death was early, you created a legacy which would live on to this day.

O John Curtin, the masses cry out for you once more. Will you raise your people up, and make the world take cover? Will you build a civilization that stands the test of time?

**Introduction**: Australia, as a state, has pledged herself to freedom, vigilance, and, if necessary to maintain freedom, sacrifice. What say you?
**Introduction**: I am John Curtin, representative of Australia. In Australia, there is today an intense love of country. I wish for you that your people love your country as much.

**Defeat**: This is, indeed, a grevious loss.
