My first idea is to research the stolen generation. The "stolen generation" were Australian Aboriginal children who were taken away from their families by the Australian Federal and State government agencies and taken to be raised in an "American" fashion to "save them from themselves". I'm interested in researching this because I know very little about Australia besides the fact that there are lots of cute furry animals like Kangaroos and Koala Bears there.
On CNN there is an entire section devoted to stories about this

I'm also interested in looking into the memoir "Dancing with Cuba" and how the ABT helped connect Cuba and America for the first time in many years.
I'm also interested in Russian sleeper spies and will be uploading more links when I get home!
You choose the topic that is most interesting to you, but "stolen generation" peaked my interest. I agree that Australia is a mysterious country when it comes to their government. You could look at this topic from many different angles: which rights were violated, what work has been done to reduce these problems, etc. The rest is on the yellow sheet. It looks like you found a good source of articles too.
