There has always been racism in Australia. before the late 1970's most of the immigrants that came into Australia were at least reasonably white looking. However after Australia's involvement in the Vietnam War there was a huge influx of Asian people. And the you would not have to listen for long to hear a lot of racist comment. Even me I came to Australia from the Netherlands an am as white as the driven snow, I learnt to speak English within a year and could speak and understand it better then average within another 6 months with a bit of an accent, that was enough to be given a hard time by the average Auzy. The treatment the aboriginals got in those days was hardly better then today. The only difference there is in regards to racism is that we don't speak about it however it is still definitely rife.
