Australia's relationship was basically a business relationship excepting for the refugees coming after the Vietnam War. the Australian populace mostly did not like the refugees, but the government allowed them and spent more time and money on them than on aust citizens. This caused australians to be displaced from employment as refugees would work for a lot less - sort of like how the Americans blame the Mexicans for all their labor problems

ANSWER

Also, what should be noted is the peacekeeping operations we have been apart of (UNIFIT, RAMSI), the amount of foreign aid spent and the changing political leaders which have influneced our relationships with these countrys. (Malaysia)

As a long-standing Australian, it seemed that Australians wanted to blend in safely with surrounding nations by the time.

Pacific Islanders, in particular, were seen mostly as friendly nations, hailing from small, often third world countries, and perhaps of similar Christian religious background to 'traditional Australia', and were therefore, somewhat welcomed by the populace at large, as they were also rarely of refugee status.
