What are Issues in Society?

Issues in Society are publications designed specifically for Australian high school students. You will find helpful, reliable information from a variety of sources.

 

TIME-SAVING: thoroughly researched and edited content, compiled and reproduced from a wide variety of trusted sources.
TOPICAL, accessible information for assignments, essays and debates.
BALANCED OPINIONS and varying viewpoints for a diverse overview on controversial topics.
SOURCES INCLUDE: newspaper reports, opinions, magazine and journal articles, special interest groups, government reports, website fact sheets, statistics and surveys.

A note on publication dates: please be aware of the publication date of the editions on this page. We have kept older publications available in digital format so that you can compare how attitudes and statistics have changed on an issue over time. Sometimes there will be 2 publications on a similar topic (often published under slightly different titles), so if you want the most up-to-date information on a certain topic, be sure to use the most recent publication.

For example, under the heading of Rights and Descrimination, refer to Sexual Identity and Gender Diversity (Vol 475, 2022) for the most current information. If you are seeking a more historical perspective on these issues, refer to Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (Vol. 378, 2014) or Same-sex Marriage Debate (Vol. 352, 2013) which was published prior to the legalisation of Same-sex marriage in Australia.
