oops, correction.

The White Australia Policy was never an Act of Parliament. THe Immigration Act was the vehicle for this policy.

in the earlier post I incorrectly stated, 'started the dismantling of the White Australia Act'. It should have read ' started the dismantling of the White Australia Policy, with minor ammendments to the Immigration Act'.

sorry

...This article is "too stupid for words"...

Isn't the victim mentality wonderful? Last time I was in Malaysia people asked me where I come from. The answer to the question is obviously Adam amd Eve. Accept the last Adam and you will no longer view yourself as a victim.

Runner, you must be a very unique person.

The article seems to me a bit more subtle than some posters imply. It distinguishes different ways that the question “where do you come from?” can be asked, ranging from hostile and belligerent to curious and welcoming. It does not insist that the question is necessarily racist or exclusionary, as some people seem to imply.

It also turns the issue back to native white Aussies – where do we “come from” (colloquially, what are our assumptions and motives) when we ask the question?

Thanks for your compliment.
