This paper challenges the assumption that Australian‐Filipina marriages are prone to high rates of marital breakdown; and the belief that the incidence of Australian‐Filipina marriages is sufficiently large to warrant the introduction of restrictive immigration policies for Filipinas. First we set the problem of Filipina bride migration in perspective by viewing it in the wider context of Australian immigration patterns — something that has been largely neglected in the discussion so far. Then we review the evidence on marital breakdown and show that Filipina‐Australian marriages have been more successful than is commonly assumed. Finally, we consider the standard explanation of the breakdown of Filipina‐Australian marriages in terms of ‘cultural differences’. Our conclusion is that much of the discussion has been based on implicit racial and sexual prejudices, rather than factual evidence
