Try googling Australia 1930s.

No but I need information on the 1920's. Becasue they want the events leading up to the 1930's. Although I am able to gain information from google I still don't know which parts would be the most important to include since it covers such a wide area.
Depends if you're an Aborigine or not.
Try this film for a starting point.

When I was your age we used to have to use the school and public libraries to do this kind of research. You now have everything at your fingertips. You are being marked as much for your ability to research the information as the accuracy of the information. You really need to pick out what you see as the relevant points and put this into a cohesive essay. I doubt very much whether there is anyone on here who is an expert in 1920s 30s antipodean social history.
I recall you asked for help with your last essay too.
You could try googling Australia 1920s but I would have thought the couse had some suggested texts you should read. Key skills the couse should be developing are reading, eliciting key info and setting out the key points/arguments in an essay.
If you find it difficult to determine which facts are relevant and how to structure an essay you need to ask your tutor for guidance on how to write essays generally.
My advice is don't sit down and write it straight away. Draw up a list of the main points first and the shape of your essay. Add the detail later.
I was going to suggest books too, might be a bit of a radical concept for you young things (I can't believe I'm saying that and I'm only bloody 31!) and got me a long way.

Do you not have any course books or a local or school/college/uni library you can go to?

Why not do the research, make a timeline and summary of important points, pick out the main ones albeit allowing for mention of less important yet relevant ones and structure your essay around them accordingly adding the detail as appropriate.

Remember your introduction and conclusion as well.
Sadly, I think that whilst pupils at the few top schools still learn these skills most students now look for an easy option (cut and paste from the web) and wouldn't know where to start when looking at a text book.
It's a shame. Out of interest I had a quick google and, even though I don't know very much about Australian history, found some information and key events and issues which would give me a good head start in a timeline and what to research further and concentrate on.

It makes me wonder how some of todays students will cope in the real working world.

It is easy to google even I know that but there is so much to fit in the certain time. I was hoping someone out there maybe knew some of the more important issues that would be the best to discuss in the certain time I have given. Us students can cope very easily and I think are much more creative than the older generation. Clearly because we have a computer but also there is so much that was never taught back then. So rational thinking is not a problem.

But thanks Jenna I actually found your advice on the timeline helpful. The school library didn't have a book that covered the 1920's and that is the area that I am focusing on. I did get some books out but they were on australia's history from 1900-1960 so It didn't have the detail that I need. And we don't have a book for the australia topic this year so that made it difficult. But my teacher gave me a lot of information the only problem is fitting it all in a 45 minute in class essay. But it is going well now.

Oh and factor30 I do not cut and paste. Notes must be handwritten so you are wrong there.
Good for you Em. I can't see the difference between lifting information from the internet and copying from a textbook.

I'll probably get my ears boxed over this, but when my daughter was having problems with Othello, I got the same lot of "you all have it so easy today …" etc .

As I said then and still think it applies, it's more beneficial to know how to fill out application forms, tax returns,[or more likely for a lot of students, Jobseekers allowance] write a good cv, spell without relying on a spellchecker, do basic maths in your head, managing your finances, than it is to study Shakespeare. By all means study that when the basic life skills are mastered, if you enjoy that sort of thing. Good luck with your studies, they are not forever.
A lot of the frustration on here stems from the increasing amount of homework questions posted on here in their entirety and the seeming lack of interest in actually doing the legwork themselves and hoping that they will get someone to do the work for them.

If someone had attempted to do part of the work themselves but were stuck on a particular issue people are usually more amenable to helping.

I might be somewhere inbetween and it's not to say the younger generation had advantages they didn't, but I can guarantee that the older generation have a lot of skills which seem to be lost on the younger generation these days.

In my work I have trained a lot of younger people who, albeit, come in with a high level of qualification, often lack what I see as some of the most basic skills and common sense, which go a long way.
The subject of whether 1930 Australia was a more cohesive rather than divisive nation has been covered intensively by the world press over the past decade. The juxtapositioning of was1930 Australia a more cohesive rather than divisive nation with fundamental economic, social and political strategic conflict draws criticism from those most reliant on technology, who form the last great hope for our civilzation. Society is a simple word with a very complex definition. A child’s approach to whwther 1930 Australia a more cohesive rather than divisive nation bravely illustrates what we are most afraid of, what we all know deep down in our hearts.
Primarily was1930 Australia a more cohesive rather than divisive nation builds trust among the people. It breaks the mould, shattering man's misunderstanding of man.

The statistics make it clear that was1930 Australia a more cohesive rather than divisive nation is a major market factor. Well inflation has always depended upon was1930 Australia a more cohesive rather than divisive nation to a certain extent, but now more that ever. Many analysts fear a subsequent depression.

One of the great ironies of this age is was1930 Australia a more cohesive rather than divisive nation. Isn't it ironic, don't you think?
Conclusion
In summary, was1930 Australia a more cohesive rather than divisive nation has, and will continue to be a major building block for the world in which we live. It replenishes the self, 'literally' plants seeds for harvest, and is always fashionably late.
I imagine the key moment here is the First World War and Gallipoli, generally seen by Australians as vital in creating a sense of national identity. I'm not sure how divisive a society it was before the war, though - or just how cohesive it is now: see 123Everton's point.
Bloody hell, I hope you don't have to pay for crap like that Factor lol :)
