The force that through the green fuse drives the flower / Drives my green age; that blasts the roots of trees / Is my destroyer. / And I am dumb to tell the crooked rose / My youth is bent by the same wintry fever¡¦.by Dylan Thomas

The law - known as the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) - offers amnesty to non-Muslim illegal immigrants from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan.
The federal ´ä·Ê¶±=´ä·Êǰ ´ä·Ê¶± Çà»ç¶± ±îÄ¡¶± government says this is to protect religious minorities fleeing persecution in the three Muslim-majority countries.
But what has made the law È«Äá¸íǰ¼îÇθô=È«Äá¸íǰ¼îÇθô especially controversial is that it comes in the wake of the government's plan to publish a nationwide register of citizens that it says will identify illegal immigrants - namely, anyone who doesn't have the documents to prove that their ancestors lived in India.

Australian Prime ´ä·Ê¶±=´ä·Êǰ ´ä·Ê¶± Çà»ç¶± ±îÄ¡¶± Minister Scott Morrison has apologised for going on holiday in Hawaii this week while the nation's bushfire crisis worsened.

His absence this week, as well as his initial refusal to ½Å³»µ¿¿ë´ÞÀÌ»ç confirm his whereabouts, has drawn condemnation and protests.
"I deeply regret any offence caused to any of the many Australians affected by the terrible bushfires by my taking leave with family at this time," he said on Friday.
The region's leader, the chief-executive, is chosen by a 400 person ³²ÀÚ·¹Çø®Ä«»çÀÌÆ®=³²ÀÚ·¹Çø®Ä«»çÀÌÆ® Beijing-approved committee comprising of politicians and businessmen. Ordinary citizens do not have a direct say in the appointment of the chief executive, the same as Hong Kong.
"We do not have ´ä·Ê¶±=´ä·Êǰ ´ä·Ê¶± Çà»ç¶± ±îÄ¡¶± any kind of open arguments with China about one country, two systems. We understand the boundaries quite well," Ms Lam told the BBC.
The legacy of communication with the Chinese government was, she said, one reason why one country, two systems is more effective in Macau than in Hong Kong.
Ms Lam added that there has been a big focus on ³²ÀÚ·¹ÇÃ=³²ÀÚ·¹Çà improving the region's economy as well as its education system.
"[They] È«Äá¸íǰ½Ã°èÄ¿½ºÅÒ±Þ=È«Äá½Ã°è È«Äá¸íǰ¼îÇÎ È«Äá¸íǰĿ½ºÅÒ±Þ simply went out, doing a remarkable job, like all their colleagues, and like they have done year-in, year-out, and to not be coming home after their shift is a tremendous grief," he said.

The death has been linked to one of 120 fires ´ä·Ê¶±=´ä·Êǰ ´ä·Ê¶± Çà»ç¶± ±îÄ¡¶± that broke out in South Australia on Friday.
Firefighters' union leader Leighton Drury said Australia was "seeing an absolute lack of leadership from this government and it is a disgrace".
Phrases such as #WhereisScoMo, #WhereTheBloodyHellAreYou - a reference to a famous tourism campaign he once oversaw - and #FireMorrison quickly trended online.

Why is Morrison facing pressure on climate change?
Many Australians have accused ¼º»êµ¿Æ÷ÀåÀÌ»ç Mr Morrison and his government of inaction on climate change.
For much of the fire crisis, the government Àμöµ¿¿ë´ÞÀÌ»ç has been reluctant to talk about the role of climate change in exacerbating blazes. This has sparked other protests.
Australia has been criticised ¿¬³²µ¿Æ÷ÀåÀÌ»ç internationally for its climate record, with the UN identifying it as among a minority of G20 nations falling short of its emissions promises.
