Q1 Response

Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth experience distinctive climate conditions due to their geographic locations within Australia. Here’s a comparison of these cities’ weather patterns across the four seasons:

Spring (September - November)

  • Brisbane: Experiences pleasant temperatures averaging between 15°C and 25°C 11. The season is characterized by warm days and mild nights.
  • Sydney: Temperatures begin to rise, making for great beach weather. Days are sunny with occasional showers.
  • Melbourne: Spring in Melbourne can be unpredictable, known for its “four seasons in one day” phenomenon. It generally starts warming up but remains cooler than Brisbane or Sydney.
  • Perth: The city experiences mild temperatures and is relatively dry during spring .

Summer (December - February)

  • Brisbane: Has hot, wet summers with an average maximum temperature of 26.6°C 7. It can be humid, making the weather feel hotter than it actually is.
  • Sydney: The summer climate is warmer and drier compared to Brisbane but not as hot or humid. Beaches are vibrant during this time.
  • Melbourne: Summers in Melbourne are warm to hot with occasional heatwaves. Temperatures can vary widely from day to day .
  • Perth: Experiences a hotter, drier summer than the eastern cities. Days are sunny and clear .

Autumn (March - May)

  • Brisbane: The weather remains warm but becomes less humid with cooler nights.
  • Sydney: This is one of the best seasons in Sydney with mild temperatures and less rainfall compared to Brisbane or Melbourne.
  • Melbourne: Temperatures cool down significantly from summer. It can be wetter than spring, though it varies year-to-year.
  • Perth: Autumn brings cooler weather but still relatively dry conditions.

Winter (June - August)

  • Brisbane: Winter is warmer and drier than in Perth . Average temperatures are mild with less rainfall.
  • Sydney: Winters are cool to mild, making it a great season for exploring the city without extreme heat or cold.
  • Melbourne: Melbourne winters can be quite chilly and wet compared to other cities on this list. It’s often considered one of the colder major Australian cities during winter .
  • Perth: Winters in Perth are cooler than Brisbane but drier with occasional showers.

These variations highlight how Australia’s diverse geography impacts climate conditions across its major cities . Each city has its unique weather patterns that make them distinct from each other.

Q2 Response

The tradies’ protest in Australia on 27th August 2024 was a response to the federal government’s move to put the Construction, Forestry and Maritime Employees Union (CFMEU) under administration . More than 15,000 workers across Australia downed their tools and marched through capital cities in protest over this federal takeover . This action was taken in solidarity with the CFMEU, with major strike actions planned particularly in Melbourne, but also involving marches in other cities including Sydney, Perth, Canberra, Adelaide, Cairns, and Brisbane . The construction industry was outraged by the government’s decision to administrate the union, leading to this significant protest action .

Q3 Response

The COVID-19 pandemic had a profound and multifaceted impact on human rights around the world, exposing systemic gaps in protection that undermined resilience . The Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, went as far as to declare there was “a pandemic of human rights abuses in the wake of COVID-19”.

Principal Human Rights Impacts

The principal impacts included:

  • Right to Life and Health: The right to life and the highest attainable standard of health were significantly affected due to the virus’s direct impact on public health systems.
  • Restrictions on Movement and Assembly: Many countries imposed strict measures, including lockdowns, quarantines, and bans on public gatherings, affecting freedom of movement and assembly . Right to Privacy: With increased use of technology for tracking and surveillance to contain the virus, concerns over privacy rights escalated . Economic Rights: Job losses and economic downturns globally impacted workers’ rights and access to essential services, leading to heightened vulnerabilities .

Responses and Trends

Governments responded with a range of measures. Some actions were considered necessary and temporary, aimed at controlling the virus’s spread while respecting human rights standards . However, there have been instances where measures taken for public health emergencies led to more permanent securitization of the health sector, raising questions about their alignment with human rights treaties .

Impact on Repressive Trends

The pandemic exacerbated pre-existing repressive trends that threatened human rights. Governments worldwide deployed a multiplicity of measures that undermined civil liberties and accountability . There was an acceleration in restrictions on freedom of expression, association, and peaceful assembly under the guise of public health measures .

Global Health and Human Rights

The pandemic underscored the intrinsic link between global health and human rights. The response to COVID-19 highlighted how rights-based approaches are critical for achieving effective public health outcomes 13. It demonstrated that ensuring universal access to healthcare services is crucial in upholding social and economic rights .

Resilience and Future Directions

The crisis also served as a stark reminder of the importance of strengthening systems to protect human rights, particularly through developing robust public health infrastructure capable of responding to future global crises without compromising individual liberties.

In summary, while the pandemic presented unprecedented challenges for human rights globally, it also provided lessons on how essential it is to integrate human rights principles into public health policies and emergency response strategies
