Q9.
MikeRyan is right for this. ww1 had the most support from the churches so the answer was A
Q10. This is what my teacher wrote about it:
A nasty question. Many Chinese people (some of whom were Buddhists) came to Australia in the mid to late 1800's and worked on the gold fields. The demise of the goldfields and a high degree of racism contributed to many returning home. Indirectly, the White Australia policy may well have encouraged some to return home. However, there were also large numbers of Sri Lankans (many of whom were Buddhists) who came to Queensland in the 1880's. There is evidence that pressure from the Christian establishment did lead to many of them converting to Christianity over a period of twenty years or so. The onset of WWII was likely to have been a significant factor in the whole equation as well. Frankly, I think it's a tough question. I think WW2 (answer A) is correct.

i also put WW1 as the war most supported by australian christian churches - the catholics were supportive of the war itself though opposed to conscription, right? and the protestants wanted a chance to realign themselves with Britain.

i know there was support for WW2 because of communism cept I thought after all the destruction etc. of WW1, people were generally less keen, no celebrations/war fever. so i figured the churches were generally less supportive.

am i right or am i wrong?

Correct Answer to M/C question number 2:

this is an extract from the Macquarie Revision guide, page 83:

"....The three denominations did not eventually unite, however, until June 1977. Overall the votes were 69 % of Presbyterians in favour, 83% of Methodists in favour and 75% of Congregationalists....."

Therefore, it can be seen thet the "most supportive church" was the Methodist.

Lock in C Eddie!

 

[mikeryan69]

yep

yeh methodists were the bulk supporting it

Question 10

ok, a lot of you say that it was due to conversion to christianity
But "the main cause" of a change to christianity would be due to what.... It would be due to the fact that there was a white australia policy which prevented and other culture or religion from being present within Australia, and thus Buddhists either left the country or converted, or simply did not state their religion on the census in fear of being eliminated.

Thats my theory anyway,

so its (C) The White Australia Policy

q 2b

i went thru the answers of the mc with the RE co-ordinator at my school n he ias of the belief that the MEthodidts were the most supportive. it aint baptist coz they wernt even in the Uniting chruch n yeh.... the m.choice + short ansers werent as straifghtforward as they could hv been.

such borad and ambigiously worded open questions, open to interpretation.. we'll c how right we were wen we get the reesults back
