They used to have a "White Australia" policy until late 60s. (Basically yes, we want immigration in order to populate our country, but we only want white people). Since then they have stopped having racist immigration policies, so they have just reduced all immigration.
It's all about keeping one type of immigrants out.
- Nursie 14y agoYes, that policy from 50 years ago sure is good evidence that they have a racist immigration policy today!
- scarmig 14y agoAnd the American South having a policy of racial apartheid 50 years ago provides no context for the current day.
- damian2000 14y agoLast year, India and China were the biggest sources of immigration to Australia - 29,018 and 25,509 ppl respectively. Followed by the UK at 25,274. http://www.workpermit.com/news/2012-07-20/australia/indians-and-chinese-largest-sources-of-permanent-migrants-to-australia.htm http://www.workpermit.com/news/2012-07-20/australia/indians-...
