i think the 5 focus issues are:

1. What has been the nature of the relationship between Australia and the rest of the world?

2. What have been the significant developments in Australia's political history?

3. What have been the significant developments in Aistralia's social and cultural history?

4. What has been the changing nature of Aboriginal and non-Aborigianl relations in Australia?

5. How have the rights and freedoms of various gender, culture, social and economic groups changed?

Hope dis helpz
