Accueil | Elisa the Best Job in the World 'The Best Jobs in the World' is back: Australian Tourism is hiring 'The Best Jobs in the World' is back: Australian Tourism is hiring Tuesday 5 March 2013 | Press Release from Tourism Australia Tourism Australia is teaming up with industry and State and Territory tourism partners in a new A$4 million campaign targeting the international youth market - a segment which last year contributed nearly A$12 billion in tourism spending and a quarter of all Australia's international visitors. At the heart of the campaign is a global competition involving six of Australia’s State and Territory Tourism Organisations - each offering their own unique ‘Best Job in the World’ as a winning prize. The competition was unveiled in Cairns, one of the country's most popular destinations amongst young travellers, by the Minister for Tourism, the Hon Martin Ferguson AM MP, alongside Ben Southall who was the successful candidate in Tourism Queensland’s highly successful "Best Job in the World" campaign in 2009.

TEST QUIZINIERE 303 France’s Elisa Detrez wins Best Job in the World - Queensland Blog on June 21, 2013 at 1:00 am After four intensive days of on-location challenges, we’re proud to announce Elisa Detrez from Paris as Queensland’s new Park Ranger. After wiping out more than 330,000 applicants from 196 countries and raising publicity and support for her application, Elisa and two other finalists arrived in Queensland last Thursday for a packed schedule of challenges including reef snorkelling, rainforest zip-lining and social media assignments. And it may be the Best Job in the World, but it’s not your average 9-5 gig. Our former island caretaker Ben Southall called it “the world’s busiest job” for good reason. Arriving four years ago in his yellow land rover, he has since married a local, appeared in thousands of media interviews, kayaked across the Great Barrier Reef and luckily escaped a close call with the nasty irikandji jellyfish. Five other lucky people also scored the world’s next best jobs in our neighbouring states:

TEST QUIZINIERE 307 Politics of Australia Government The Commonwealth government was created with a constitution patterned partly on the United States Constitution. The powers of the Commonwealth are specifically defined in the constitution, and the residual powers remain with the states. (See Australian Constitutional History.) Australia is an independent nation within the Commonwealth. Queen Elizabeth II is the sovereign and since 1973 has been officially styled "Queen of Australia." The federal Parliament is bicameral, consisting of a 76-member Senate and a 148-member House of Representatives. Each state is headed by a premier, who is the leader of the party with a majority or a working minority in the lower house of the state legislature. At the apex of the court system is the High Court of Australia. The Liberal Party/National Party coalition came to power in the March 1996 election, ending 13 years of ALP government and electing John Howard as Prime Minister.

En effet, vivre ou voyager dans un pays, c’est aussi comprendre son fonctionnement au niveau politique et administratif, la façon dont il est régi. Les origines du gouvernement australien La naissance d’une fédération Avant 1901, l’Australie était composée de six colonies britanniques distinctes et autonomes. À l’intérieur de ses frontières, chaque colonie avait sa propre constitution et ses propres lois concernant la défense, l’immigration, le commerce, le transport, etc. Pour plusieurs raisons (simplification du commerce et des transports entre colonies, meilleure défense, besoin d’identité nationale, etc.), les colons ont souhaité s’unir et former ainsi une seule nation australienne. Le 1er janvier 1901, les colonies se sont donc unies en une fédération d’États, à savoir une même nation indépendante appelée le Commonwealth d’Australie. La naissance d’un gouvernement

Best Job in the World, 10 Years On: Where’s Ben Now? | Queensland Some things don’t change. Ben says he was almost doing exactly the same 10 years ago as he is now – creating crazy adventures and going out there and doing them.

Under his company Best Life Adventures, Ben curates and plans wilderness digital disconnection adventures for entrepreneurs-in-the-making to go and build their own internal resilience, building the strength of the Queensland startup community. He also runs Everest Base Camp treks and other crazy adventures – riding the highest road in the world, snowshoeing in the Arctic Circle, mountain climbing in the Congo – for corporate and private daredevils. “It’s given me the confidence to know that what was a selfish journey of travel, just for my own mind, has now become something I can share with other people,” Ben says.
