Federal elections in Australia are scheduled for next month. As the campaign season comes to an end, I can say that I am very disappointed at how the Australian Labor Party (ALP) has reached out to voters.

South Africa has historically had high levels of social and economic inequality. According to the World Bank, South Africa has the fourth highest gini coefficient in the world. Roughly a quarter of the population is unemployed and live on less than $1.25 per day. If anyone in South Africa were to be taken out of poverty, it is almost guaranteed that someone else would fall into poverty. During the Apartheid, most white people enjoyed a high standard of living. The quality-of-life for a white South African was comparable to that of a developed country. After the Apartheid, many white South Africans left the country.
Many countries throughout the world have passed Immigration Equality legislation which allow bi-national same-sex couples to attain citizenship (in their partner’s home country). This legislation aims to provide same-sex couples the same rights and privileges as heterosexual couples during the process of attaining citizenship. Immigration Equality can be enacted in one of three ways: same-sex marriage, domestic partnerships/civil unions, or through immigration policy.
