Controlling Australian Immigration
Recent studies of immigration have questioned assumptions about the effectiveness of government controls. In her work on illegal Jewish immigration to the United States, Libby Garland argues that official immigration quotas may not reflect actual numbers of immigrants and critiques historians for being too ready to take immigration laws at face value. Mae Ngai's work on the racialisation of “illegal aliens” in the United States also documents the…

Australia's Immigration Revolution
How well is Australia handling immigration at a time of increased international and ethnic tensions? Australia's Immigration Revolution examines the social impact of the huge increase in Australia's immigration program over the past decade. In 2006 Australia's population was 20.7 million. It is projected to reach 23 million in 2014. What is driving this rapid population growth, and how is the Rudd government dealing with immigration at a time of …
Postwar Immigration and Assimilation
The postwar immigration programme in Australia was a bold and visionary nation-building exercise, one that promised rapid assimilation of ‘aliens’. Some historians note deficiencies in the metanarrative of postwar immigration, but then fail to explain the contradictions which have become apparent. This article attempts to resolve those contradictions, by arguing that a distinction needs to be made between the rhetoric employed in selling the bene…
Attitudes to immigration and cultural diversity in Australia
This article considers Australian attitudes to immigration and cultural diversity. It argues that Australia and Canada are the most receptive to immigration among western nations. The average of 25 surveys conducted in Australia in the period 1999-2010 finds 52% in support of the current immigration level or in support of an increased intake, 43% in support of reduction, and 5% uncertain. While there can be no definitive measure of the level of s…
William Cooper and the 1937 petition to the King
In the 1930s the perspective in which Europeans viewed Aborigines was in the process of change. For over half a century it had been widely accepted that the Aboriginal people would become extinct; now this belief was being undermined by the realisation that the part-Aboriginal population was increasing at a significant rate and by the growth in anthropological knowledge. Government policy which had been essentially negative in character, designed…

Social Cohesion in Australia
Australia's reputation as a successful large scale immigrant-receiving nation is well formed. In the latest wave, not only have millions of diverse people arrived in the post-war period from 1945 to a growing, high income, good employment economy; but the society absorbing them has remained stable and cohesive. This is not to say that it has been entirely plain sailing - sensitive debate, isolated interethnic violence, and the degree of migrant g…

The) 1967 (referendum) and all that
This article seeks to explain why the 1967 referendum with reference to Aborißines was and is regarded as important. We contend that its significance did not so much lie in the constitutional changes as in the narrative deployed by its sponsors, who attributed to the referendum a rich symbolic meaning, especially that of citizenship. We further argue that it has been mythologised recently for similar political purposes, and suggest such strategie…
