ROHS use six hazardous materials to manufacture various types of electronic and electrical equipment.

For those immigrant students that satisfy certain conditions, they would gain legal status within a period of as little as six years. The act has not been passed yet and has taken on several different forms at the federal and state levels, but the debate and legislative process is ongoing (Mascaro, 2013)(CSAC, 2013)
From a socio-economic point-of-view, though, issues with the local and world economy have forced the government to reduce immigration quotas. For instance, in March 2009, there was a 14% cut in the 2008-09 permanent skilled migration program in response to declining economic conditions and even by November 2009, specific skills in health and social welfare segments are still considered understaffed (Bowen, 2009; 300,000 Skilled Workers Needed, 2008)
Literature Review- Australia, because of its history of openness, a relatively robust economy, and a policy of inclusion, has in many ways been a beacon for immigration since the end of World War II. There was a decided and dramatic shift in the number of immigrants allowed after the war, mitigated only when it began to tax the social welfare system (Castles, 1998)
In 1972, for instance, the Whitlam government purported that it was time to reassess all of Australia's attitudes and policies with the goal being far more inclusive to all immigrants and minorities. "Our thinking is towards a more independent Australian stance in international affairs and towards an Australia which will be less militarily oriented and not open to suggestions of racism; and Australia which will enjoy a growing standard as a distinctive, tolerant, co-operative and well-regarded nation not only in the Asian and Pacific Region but in the world at large" (Hawkins, 1991, 96)
This budgeting and strategic planning is necessary due to Humanitarian and Social programs. Recent migration, though, has exceed any numbers since World War II, sometimes taxing the current social welfare and services systems (Iggulden, 2008)
From 2005 to the present many significant and controversial changes in Indigenous policy, many of which have been implemented under the 2007 Northern Territory Emergency Response (NTER) Intervention and the more recent Council of Australian Governments (COAG) commitment to 'Closing the Gap' on Indigenous disadvantage. Notable in recent years have also been former prime minister Kevin Rudd's apology to the Stolen Generations, and the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) and stated commitment to 'reset' its relationship with Indigenous Australians (Jordan & Bulloch 2010)

Thus, a social pecking order was created, corresponding in spatial terms to ever-increasing access to the interior parts of the house (Zanker at 13). According to Wallace-Hadrill, architects labored when designing the peristyles of homes in Pompeii to ensure that a guest would receive the most comprehensive impression of the dwelling's size and expensive decor on his way to meet the host (Lawrence and Wallace-Hadrill at 121-25)
According to Wallace-Hadrill, the main entrance was either the private-public axis or the grand-humble axis. In this model, architecture and decor regulate circulation within the house (Wallace-Hadrill at 38-61)
Recent excavation at Pompeii reveals that the Roman house not only consisted of spaces dedicated to particular activities, but also different spaces devoted to display in a social context. Only in rare cases, however, are we able to analyze the overall organization of space in a city and see it in relation to the society that inhabited it, drawing connections between the use of space and residents' particular lives, habits, and needs (Zanker, at 1)
