Background:
Australia became a commonwealth of the British Empire in 1901.It was able to take advantage of its natural resources to rapidly develop its agricultural and manufacturing industries and to make a major contribution to the British effort in World Wars I and II.Long-term concerns include pollution,particularly depletion of the ozone layer,and management and conservation of coastal areas,especially the Great Barrier Reef.A referendum to change Australia's status,from a commonwealth headed by the British monarch to an independent republic,was defeated in 1999.
