The White Australia policy was the Policy of the Government of the time - it was not imposed through a vote.
Like so much Government policy it was not supported by many of the voting public at that time. Australia already had a large Chinese population (post the Gold Rush of the 1850's) by the time this poicy was in effect and they would not be expected to have supported this policy
White people

an unofficial term for an immigration policy designed to restrict the entry of coloured people into Australia
The mind of those who introduced the White Australia Policy was that without the policy Australia would be overrun by the Asians. People opposed to the intolerant bill pointed to Canada and New Zealand for example of countries with out such policy who were not being overtaken.
it kept chinese people out :)
The White Australia Policy was introduced after Federation and was therefore post-colonial.
It was policy to keep Australia white, established so only "white" people could immigrate to Australia.This policy was alive and well during the first half of the last century.
The White Australia Policy, which restricted the entry of non-white immigrants into the country, ended in 1973.
The White Australia policy was particularly targetted against Asians.
