What social issue has been significant in Australia in the last twelve months? What social structures are at play in this issue?

There are many examples that you could pursue: the issue of gay marriage was a key political flashpoint in Australia in 2011/12/13. You could look at the social structures of family or gender. The teachers' dispute in Victoria, which is dragging on quite unexpectedly, could be examined in terms of the social structures of politics or education. The apparent plight of the Federal Labor government and the Prime Minister Julia Gillard could be examined in terms of the social structures of politics or gender. NB:You do not need to choose one of these examples; they are only illustrations of possible issues you might decide to examine.
