This video is about the history of the "White Australia Policy" that existed in Australia from 1901 to 1973.
"Four Corners" on ABC-TV Australia interviewed people on the street about this policy in 1962. You can view a video (6 minutes 19 seconds) of their responses by clicking on the link below:

If you wish to watch a longer more comprehensive documentary on the White Australia Policy I would suggest "Admission Impossible" made by Film Australia in 1992 (54 minutes 22 seconds). You can view it by clicking on the link below:

Thanks for making this video, as there isn't very much about this online. This old interview (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6zb8yLammA0.html) shows a devided public, but at 2:28 the man sums up what was happening at the time; The policy was a result of concern over immigration (and added to over time), while the US was going through the Civil rights movement (1954 - 1968). I really can't blame 1930/1940's Australians from their concern about Asians, especially when Australia was attacked by the Japanese during WW2...

What is wrong with knocking back a visa application on the basis of the race of the applicant? Visa applicants are not our citizens so there is no reason for them to be given equal treatment.

Good information - many thanks. As an irrelevant side note, I liked how the little bars on your shirt matched the bars in the background.

For 800 years, people in parts of China tortured little girls by deliberately deforming their feet, causing them lifelong pain. They were still doing it in 1940. It was only the communists who were willing and able to stop it. And communism was a white Eurooean idea. As a mother of daughters, I am grateful for the white Australia policy. It ensured that our lawmakers who didn't support the beating of disobedient wives, as advised in the Quran. The WAP ensured that we had no caste system and no legal slavery. It is the white Australia policy that made Australia a wonderful place in which to live.

Do you think that the White Australia Policy is dead.? Entry to Australia is not discriminated against non "whites " but BUT visas and entry by WHITES is encouraged AND is Easier than the other people. The cost of visa application AND the time involved in processing visas is VERY different for non Europeans.

@davidaelliott 4 года назад

I am no expert but I would not be surprised if what you say about visas is true. During the "White Australia Policy" era they were open about it's intent but there were no specific racist laws. They just made laws that enabled them to easily reject non-white non-Europeans. That said I think things are a lot better than at that time (clearly our population is no longer 99% white) but it is probably impossible to totally eliminate the racism.

I was born under this policy! This policy isn't dead - It is preserved throughout Australia! Indigenous peoples are sovereign to this country - That's the painful part for some!

Hi just a question. Were Southern Euros or non-British people allowed to Australia when the white Australia policy was in action?

@davidaelliott 2 года назад

I made this video a few years ago. My understanding was that there was no legislation, etc that technically prevented any race being allowed into Australia. However, it did make it easy to discriminate against any individual person they wished and this was often based on race. Initially, British were favoured highly above everyone else with non-Europeans being least favoured but after the second world war with Australia's "populate or perish" policy the "White Australia Policy" was relaxed and extended to white people of other European descent.

Much like the legal fiction of terra nullius, so too is the White Australia Policy label a modern subversive invention. There is in fact nothing inherently 'White' or racist about a people just wanting to maintain their own people and culture in their own country to the exclusion of any competitor who would seek to do the same. Just ask the Aboriginals who lived in Australia before the first Europeans arrived. They weren't exactly welcoming, were they? So, was theirs a 'Black Australia Policy'? The so-called 'White Australia Policy' label is just one example of anti-White racism.
