Title: What was the purpose of the White Australia Policy?
Post by: robinn137 on Apr 15, 2021

What was the purpose of the White Australia Policy?
◦ to promote the emigration of Australians who were of European descent to other nations in the South Pacific
◦ to encourage Australians of European descent to migrate from Australia's densely settled east coast to the more sparsely settled interior and west coast
◦ It was an ethnic isolationist policy established by the Australian government, which sought to place the country's entire aboriginal population on reservation-like holdings in the far western portion of the country.
◦ to promote immigration of (white) North Americans and Europeans to Australia at the expense of non-white groups
◦ to clean up the country's white sand beaches, which had been seriously polluted by mining
