	Migratory history of Australia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The White Australia Policy, the policy of excluding all non-white people from the Australian continent, was the official policy of all governments and all mainstream political parties in Australia from the 1890s to the 1950s, and elements of the policy survived until the 1970s.
		Immigration was still restricted to Europeans in most circumstances, although the White Australia Policy was gradually eased from the 1950s onwards.
		During that decade, Australia first began to adopt a policy of multiculturalism, with Minister of Immigration Al Grassby introducing the term "multiculturalism", and speaking of the merits of "ethnic pluralism", where "each ethnic group desiring it, is permitted to create its own cultural heritage indefinitely, while taking part in the general life of the nation".

	The Changing Face: Non-white emigration into Europe, America and Australia
		Prior to the 1970s, virtually all immigration to Australia was White: however, like the rest of Europe and North America, the last 25 years of the 20th century has seen a massive increase in non-White immigration into Australia, mostly from Asian countries.
		The principal reasons for this growth were the continued high level of immigration and the associated increase in the numbers of younger people in the childbearing and childrearing age groups.
		The 1960s will also go down in history as having introduced one of the most significant factors to affect White numbers in the entire history of the world: the development of the birth control pill, or oral contraceptive, which was first approved for use in the United States in 1965.

	Brief History of Immigration (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		European settlement of Australia began in 1788 with the establishment of a penal colony, as Britain needed to relieve its overcrowded prisons, from the famine in Ireland and the Highland clearances of Scotland, as well as some of it being due to Britains loss of her American colonies.
		Australia also provided a base for the Royal Navy in the eastern sea and could be used as an entry point for economic opportunities.
		Then Captain John Macarthur brought in the Spanish merino sheep and Australia developed from a prison to a pastoral colony with the expansion of the wool growing industry coupled with a fervent desire on the part of settlers to acquire more and more land using labour from convicts and aboriginals.
