| Summary |
"At Federation in 1901, Australia had a dream to create a democratic Utopia. But the nation's leaders believed this vision would only be achieved by closing the country to anybody who wasn't white. This paradox and the draconian laws known as the White Australia Policy that followed caused great human suffering and ironically helped realise the very threat Australia feared the most - invasion from the Asian North." -- SBS website |
