=WHITE AUSTRALIA POLICY=


 * The White Australia Policy started in the 1850’s to stop Chinese from coming to Australia. The white miners resentment towards Chinese diggers help make the Policy. The White Australia Policy started after the Eureka stockade. The White Australia Policy was all around Australia but mostly Victoria. There was a general increase in the number of ‘White Aliens’ arriving in 1920s. The White Australia Policy was in Victoria at buck Land River and in New South Wales at Lambing Flat.**


 * At the time, many Australians believed that this White Australia policy would be the only way to keep large parts of Australian society similar to Britain. However even more Australians argued against this policy, especially in the years after World War 2. Australia restrictive government policy of immigration was mainly aimed at non-Europeans. A major preoccupation of the policy makers at this time was the establishment of “alien enclaves”. The White Australia policy ended only in 1973. Now lots of other cultures as well as chinese are coming to Australia.**
