Describe the pattern of migration to Australia in the post World War II period.
- Post WW2, Immigration minister saw the need to increase our population to improve our economy and defence force.
- Immigration minister Arthur Calwell's slogan "populate or perish"
- First Australia wanted to attract British migrants. They could come here on the assisted migration scheme and only pay ten pounds.
- They had to agree to work a minimum of 2 years in government assigned jobs
- Soon we looked outside of Britain due to: humanitarian reasons, migration targets not being met and not enough ships to bring British in comfortable conditions
- Australia looked towards the Baltic states of Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania.
- Under the Colombo Plan (1950) Asian students could come to Australia to study but they could not stay.
- Australia soon opened it's doors to Italy and Spain.
- In the 1970s there was an influx of refugees coming from Vietnam to Australia by boat.
- Gough Whitlam abolished the White Australia Policy.
- The government took steps to remove race as a factor of immigration policies.
- Australia soon opened it's doors to The Middle East and Asia and did not assign jobs.
- They instead looked at your qualifications and contributions

the 'domino effect' where they said that if one country falls to communism then all the other countries would fall with it, so Australia applied the strategy of 'forward defence' where they sent their 'first line' to Vietnam to stop communism before it reached Australia.
q: roughly outline the change in rights of aborigines in the 20th century

There's more people. Here's examples of three:

Individuals: Germaine Greer, Feminist who contributed to the mass of second wave feminism. She wrote the controversy 'female eunuch' and was an active advocator for women's liberation

Charles Perkins: Lead the freedom ride with aims of potraying the brutal human right abused towards Aboriginal people. This created the gradual change of attitudes.

Gough Whitlam: LAbour prime minister who was elected after the WWII, his motto was 'Its time'. He began the process of rapid evolution in Australia.
*HEX - assist student uni fees
*Medibank
*abolished complusory conscripton
*abolished White Australian policy
[mind frozen...]
~***~
Brief summary of changing rights and freedom of Aboriginal people.
*Protectionism: Paternalized Aboriginal people as white australian believed they were primitive. They wanted to 'breed out' their colour and tradition.
As they beleived they were more superior.

*Assimiliation: [Epik failed first time, they return with a new idea....]
This was the process of wanting the Aboriginal people to assimilate into the white society. Stolen generation occured.

*Intergration: nicer name for Assimiliation

*Self determination: This began the advocation of Aboriginal people and their gradual peak of demanding for rights. [freedom riders, Mabo, Tent Embassy, Referendum etc.]

...i suck...

My question: 'why did australian's attitude began changing towards Australia's involvement in Vietnam war. '

freedragon, you dont need to yell.

"Why did Australian's attitudes about Australia's involvement in the Vietnam War change?"


  • people disagreed with the use of conscription as Australia was under no direct threat
  • the widespread use of televisions in Australia meant that, unlike other wars, the Vietnam War was brought directly into Australian homes and people began to understand the horrible conditions and the true nature of the war.
  • as the hippie movement began to take hold in Australia, many people - particularly young people who made up approx 30% of Australia's population as a result of the baby boomer period - became very anti-war and anti-establishment

Discuss one major development or event in Aboriginal Land Rights.

ummmm well the war was televised and so australains realised how brutal and horrific it was. they were worried for the troops and groups such as save our sons and the moratorium movement developed to further persuade people that the war was bad:tongue:

One major development towards Land Rights includes the 1997 Wik Decision under the Howard Government. This policy(?) allowed pastoralists and the original, sacred Aboriginal owners of the land to 'co-exist' alongside each other. Those in the agricultural & export industries saw this as a very favourable move. However, of all other earlier key events leading to Land Rights (e.g. Mabo Case, Wave Hill Protest, Land Title Act), many saw this move by Howard as a step backwards. Some traditional Aborginal owners' lands were stripped of their possession and the land was given to those who used the land agriculturally. Furthermore, the Wik Decision tightened Land Rights by making it much more difficult for Aboriginals to claim their land. The points above therefore show both sides towards the Wik Decision of 1997, a key event in Aborginal Land Rights.

It's funny because almost none of this had to do with the SC.
