Yeah. They've obviously made much progress but are still institutionally scared of non white immigrants. Very forward thinking on the issue of partners though.

Very forward thinking on the issue of partners though. If one gets the visa the other does too with little or no fuss. Don't even have to be married.
The country is, like any, full of contradictions.

Nevertheless, within the institutions of politics and media and to a lesser extent the civil service there remains a vocal and sizeable minority who fear white people and "anglo-white" culture will become the minority and become oppressed. Fortunately, most Australians don't feel that way.
