Table (2.1) Number of Migrants Worldwide in million During last 30 years, (,2011) Waters (1995: p.3) highlights the effect of globalisation on social life when he states that it is ‘a social process in the constraints of geography on social and cultural arrangements recede and in which people become increasingly aware that they are receding’. Holton (1998) views the first major problem encountered by communities in the globalisation era as the failure to consider other key developments in social life that point in rather different directions. This focuses on communities and has identified major trends that arise and challenge the statement that social life is dramatically becoming global. There is much evidence for this, such as the resurgence of new trends, nationalism and ethnicity countering globalisation in many parts of the world. Holton adds that this is apparent in the Balkans, Central Africa and anywhere else where social groups have challenged a greater phenomenon and identity in the name of narrower loyalties. This has led to renewed episodes of genocide and ethnic cleansing. Furthermore, Holton states that the social and cultural aspects of globalisation have encouraged a positive awareness of various cultures and provides different alternatives to many things, such as food, music and clothes, which could lead to a new, modern world order devoid of clashes and conflict between cultures, based on a unified concept of human rights. Fukuyama (1992) views globalisation as worldwide free markets; however, this does not always welcome the homogenisation of markets by trans-national firms (such as the McDonaldisation of food consumption), which may be perceived as damaging to cultural and economic diversity (see Fig 2.7 below).
5.4.2. Local Governments Local governments strive to solve housing problems through: a) providing local families with free plots of land, intended for constructing residential houses and b) offering land, grants or loans to citizens who intend to build independent houses. Below are some of the local housing programmes in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah. Abu Dhabi Housing services provided by the local governments cover a wide geographical area, the capital, Abu Dhabi, Al Ain and the adjacent western area. In 1990, the government established the ‘Private Housing Loans Association’, which aims to provide loans to build houses on plots of land owned by applicants or to maintain or improve an existing house. The association also offers loans of up to one million Dirham to citizens who intend to build their own houses (recently due to the rising cost of building materials, the loan was adjusted to AED 2,000,000).

The Commission recommends that the reference to ‘same-sex’ marriage in the title of the Act be removed and consideration be given to a title which more appropriately reflects the intention of the bill. For example, the Marriage Amendment (Definition of Marriage) Act. Recommendation 12 The Commission recommends that consideration be given to enabling couples who have entered into state and territory-based civil partnerships to elect to convert that partnership into a marriage, without first having to dissolve that civil partnership. Commission position on civil marriage The Commission considers that civil marriage should be available, without discrimination, to all couples, regardless of sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or intersex status, on the basis of the fundamental human rights principles of equality and non-discrimination. By reference to community standards and international human rights law principles, the Commission supports all other restrictions on marriage in section 23B of the Marriage Act – for instance, that marriage is available to adults, and continues to be unavailable to couples who are close relatives.. The Commission also supports protecting the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion in the Marriage Act. In 2012, the Commission published a position paper on marriage equality, Marriage Equality in a Changing World. The position paper outlines how the human rights principles of equality and non-discrimination support expanding the definition of marriage to include marriages that are not a union between a man and woman. At the time the position paper was published, 11 countries had expanded their definition of marriage to include marriages between two people. Since 2012, another 10 countries have expanded the definition of marriage, making a total of 21 countries. These include Brazil (2013), France (2013), New Zealand (2013), England (2014), Wales (2014), Scotland (2014), Ireland (2015) and the United States (2015). In the United States, marriage between two people of the same sex was legalised nationally following the majority decision of the US Supreme Court in Obergefell v Hodges. Five of the nine judges agreed that the right of same-sex couples to marry is guaranteed by the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution: that no person is to be deprived of the right to due process or of the equal protection of the law. Those rights are also protected in international human rights law, and the Commission finds persuasive reasoning by the majority US Supreme Court judges in applying those rights to the legal definition of civil marriage.

The establishment of the Women’s Safety Strategy Team in the SA Health Department The Premiers response to the recommendations of Zarah Abrahimzadeh include his Taking a Stand policy agenda which announced: The establishment of the Women’s Domestic Violence Court Support Service and a Domestic Violence Response Review process From 10 Coronial recommendations to SA Police, through the Abrahimzadeh inquest, over 45 specific responses to practice, policy, training and multi – agency work have been developed and implemented (or being implemented). The ARTS governance structure tracks these recommendations and monitors their progress. QUESTION NSW QLD WA OMBUDSMAN WA CORONER SA VIC Are there to address reoccurring Any mechanism to address recurring recommendations would be included in the Team’s Annual Report to Parliament. The DFVDRAB has the power to make recommendations to the Minister about any matter likely to prevent or reduce domestic and family violence deaths and can recommend that its reports be tabled in Parliament. Mechanisms to address reoccurring recommendations include reporting to Parliament on reoccurring recommendations and undertaking own motion investigations on reoccurring issues underlying reviews. Yes, members are instructed to make inquiry of NCIS regarding past recommendations. No The CPU has a recommendations database, which can be queries to determine whether a previous similar recommendation has been made.
be easily taken away, and should not be taken away simply by an administrative action by government. The Council noted that the requirement of conviction for an offence in relation to fraud or misrepresentation was ‘an important safeguard’ and recommended that it continue. The current procedure provides a balance between ensuring certainty of citizenship status while allowing serious cases of fraud and misrepresentation involved in the citizenship process to be prosecuted and result in a revocation of citizenship. It is a that has been used rarely, but is available in appropriate cases. The Australian Citizenship Council in its February 2000 report identified five cases where individuals had been convicted of making false statements in their applications for Australian Citizenship and had their citizenship revoked as a result. The Bill proposes to change the threshold for revocation in exactly the kind of way that the Council warned against. Proposed s 34AA would allow the Minister to revoke a person’s citizenship if the Minister was ‘satisfied’ that the person obtained approval to become a citizen as a result of fraud or misrepresentation connected with: the citizenship approval granted by the Minister; the person’s entry into Australia; the grant of any visa to the person prior to the approval to become a citizen. This would significantly decrease the degree of proof of fraud or misrepresentation required. There would no longer be any requirement for the allegations to be tested in court. The Minister’s satisfaction would be sufficient. Citizenship could be taken away ‘simply by an administrative action by government’. The person need not have engaged in any or misrepresentation themselves or even have known that there was any fraud or misrepresentation involved. For example, the Explanatory Memorandum suggests that a person’s citizenship could be revoked if the Minister becomes satisfied that a misrepresentation was made by a person’s migration agent of which the person was unaware. Given the grave consequences involved for an individual if citizenship is revoked, the Commission considers that any allegations of fraud or misrepresentation used as the basis for revoking citizenship should be established as a result of a fair and public hearing by a competent, independent and impartial tribunal established by law.
Background Previous monitoring visits The Commission has conducted inspections of immigration detention facilities in Australia since the mid-1990s. This has included periodic monitoring of detention facilities across the country and three major national inquiries into immigration detention. The purpose of the Commission’s detention monitoring inspections is to ensure that Australia’s immigration detention system is compliant with our obligations under international human rights law. For many years, the Commission has expressed a range of concerns about aspects of the detention system that may lead to breaches of international human rights law. These include: the policy of mandatory immigration detention, which does not allow for adequate consideration of individual circumstances and can result in cases of arbitrary detention under international law the indefinite and, at times, prolonged nature of immigration detention and the lack of a legislative time limit on detention the detention of children, which has led to breaches of numerous obligations under the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) the indefinite detention of people who have received adverse security or character assessments, including in circumstances where they have not been convicted of a crime under Australian law conditions of detention, in some cases have not met international standards the impacts of immigration detention on mental health the need for increased use of alternatives to immigration detention. Further information about these concerns can be found in the Commission publication, Asylum Seekers, Refugees and Human Rights: Snapshot Report. The Commission can also investigate and, where appropriate, try to resolve through conciliation, complaints it receives from people in immigration detention regarding alleged breaches of human rights. Inspection methodology The Commission inspected the CIIDC from 23 to 25 August 2017. The inspection was conducted by three Commission staff. Dr Penny Abbott, an academic general practitioner, joined the inspection team as an independent consultant. During the inspection, the Commission team met with representatives from the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (now Home Affairs), ABF, Serco and International Health and Medical Services (IHMS); conducted an inspection of the physical conditions of detention; and held individual private interviews with 50 people detained at the CIIDC. The Commission also held a number of informal group discussions with people detained at the facility.

Recommendation 4: The Australian Government incorporate and anti-violence initiatives that address homophobia and transphobia and their intersection with domestic and family violence into school-based respectful relationship programs. 5 Children affected by family and domestic violence In 2015 the National Children’s Commissioner conducted a national investigation into the impact of family and domestic violence on children.
