The answer is the correct one to express your form of history.
Or :
Certainly by 1818, Mak Sai Ying (also known as John Shying) had arrived and after a period of farming became, in 1829, the publican of The Lion in Parramatta. John Macarthur, a prominent pastoralist, employed three Chinese people on his properties in the 1820s and records may well have neglected others. Another way ethnic Chinese made it to Australia was from the new British possessions of Malaysia and Singapore.

Mr Opinion,

How do you determine race?
Can you identify a Chinese person if they're not Han Chinese?
Do you regard China as a nation?

Dear Aidan,

I think one of the two of us flunked Anthropology 101. And I know for sure that it wasn't me.

As a Sydney resident close to the inner city action on this. My observations; The catch cry of the state government is "Sydney's population to grow by one million in 10 years." you see this announcement on buses and trains. The Sydney property market has been fueled largely by o/s demand, seeing average prices of around $1 million, Inner Sydney, closer to &1.5 million, well beyond the reach of first home buyers, rents have gone the same way. The home market demand is cooling, but prices are still very high. There is massive unit development taking place around Inner Sydney, as old factories and warehouses etc are undergoing urban renewal. This renewal is proving a financial godsend for the likes of Harry Triguboff head of Meriton Apartments, making them billions. The Baird State Government is picking up the tab for infrastructure, which is being financed by the 'electricity asset sale', developers contribute nothing towards infrastructure. Much of the hidden costs, rubbish, minor roads storm water control etc, is being pushed onto ratepayers, through local councils, Baird's solution to this is to amalgamate councils into super councils. Infrastructure such as schools, hospitals, daycare etc is being ignored, things that are going to be needed at a huge cost. Baird's only answer to public transport demand in the area is a good, but limited, light rail from the CBD to Kingsford. Plus a hand full of new buses at Port Botany Deport, the second largest in the state.
The huge new road, Westconnx, being built from Western Sydney to the inner city provided such a backlash it handed the seat of Newtown to the Greens. Its simply unplanned, ad hoc development that will create a host of new problems and a few new billionaires, for the city.

If pollies ruled their way , the Opera House and Gardens would be flats and the harbour edge also. Beaches would be US style private and there would be slums up the Blue Mountain gullies.
(come back in a century and check it out..)
