White Australian Policy
Although Australia might be a good place now it wasn’t such a peaceful place around 1910 when a law began which was called the ‘White Australian Policy’. A few years before this began Australia was letting anyone come into our country until it started getting full and costing more money and they had to start saying no to people. Some of the things they said no to were if you were a Pacific Islander, prostitute, insane, criminal or even if you had a disease that was contagious. You had to get on your boat and go back home. This was a law for quite some time and myself learning about it makes me feel guilty and horrible, how could Australia do such thing especially have a law saying ‘White people only’. Here is a youtube clip I found made by ‘anzacseries’s channel’ called ‘White Australian Policy 1960s News’.
