Crime In Sydney From its earliest days as a prison colony Sydney's population has maintained a much-talked-about healthy scepticism towards authority. The Rum corps, a moniker for several successive British regiments that served as prison guards, were probably Sydney's first taste of organised crime.
Sydney's development into a major sea port, with the combination of various penal institutions, corrupt authorities, gold rushes and increasing wealth encouraged the growth of a criminal element.
Conservation In Australia Conservation in Australia is an issue of state and federal policy. Australia is one of the most biologically diverse countries in the world, with a large portion of species endemic to Australia, preserving this wealth of biodiversity is important for future generations.

Rabbits In Australia In their natural environment and in captivity, rabbits are a benign, even useful species. However, when introduced by humans into environments that do not have natural defences against them, rabbits can cause enormous damage. Perhaps the most well-known example of this is the continent of Australia. In Australia, the European Rabbit is the most serious mammalian pest, an invasive species, and is responsible for the extinction of about as many native animals as the fox. Annually, rabbits cause millions of dollars of damage to agriculture.
