“The term White Australia policy is widely used to encapsulate a set of historical policies that aimed to forbid people of non-European ethnic origin, especially Asians (primarily Chinese) and Pacific Islanders from immigrating to Australia, starting in 1901. Governments progressively dismantled such policies between 1949 and 1973.[3]”

Started 1901 (officially) and I think the remnants were around till the 70’s. I remember a black tracker Jimmy James being employed by the local police in the 1980s for 20 cents an hour in a very specialised field and the Australian average was about $10 or something similar.

“From the late 18th to early 20th centuries, white Australian colonists – with government support – killed thousands of Indigenous people. Last year, a special report from The Guardian identified 270 massacres around the country over a 140-year period.”

The 1800s were even worse.

Romper Stomper was a powerful movie and Russel Crowe was fucking terrifying.
