The 'White Australia Policy' started on October 1901 and finally finished in 1973.
Some of the state/colonies implemented Immigration restrictions as early as the 1850s. Assisted passge for British immigrants existed until 1982
The White Australian Policy was brought about due to racial tensions in the Australian goldfields between Europeans and Asians. The problems go back as far as the 1850s. The White Australian Policy was officially enacted in 1901. It was introduced as an act to limit immigration and allow for the removal of "prohibited" immigrants already in the country. The wording of the legislation left a lot of room for interpretation and the test required to "pass" entrance into the country could be administered in any European language and was changed frequently to make it more difficult for the "prohibited" to learn. Steps to disassemble The White Australian Policy began in 1949 and it was officially ended in 1973.

In my opinion, (Justice Dyball) the white australia policy was discriminating and refused not not Aboriginals but middle-eastern, eastern (chinese, japanese), or african or south american (latin america). In this policy these people had to complete a biased examination on the history of the english federation and australian federation and spaek in another language that they knew that the applicants wouldn't speak, from this i can conclude that this was a damaging and destructive policy and we are lucky to have a multi-cultural society in 2011.
