Australia celebrates Australia Day today, with much of its celebration focusing on a multicultural society for all. It’s taken a long time to get to this point, as is revealed in the SBS documentary series, Immigration Nation. SBS ran a series of eye-catching and provocative press ads and television commercials to promote the series, reminding Australians about the “White Australia” policy in place from 1901 to 1973. Each delivery promises the dream, but adds conditions in small print or rapid speech that exclude people of colour.

Amazing graphics!
Nice graphic treatment. Pity however that the series was riddled with inaccuracies, omissions and the product of both poor research and middle-class leftie dogma. It will all be quickly forgotten.
Very interesting. It was great to hear that Australia was not conquered through democracy or the democratic process but through deception and trickery of our leaders against the overwhelming will of the Australian people. My faith in Australians has been restored. Bring back democracy and the will of the people before we become just another dumping ground for the third world.
