How did Australia try to stop migration?
The authorities in Australia tried to prevent immigration in the late 1800s and early 1900s by implementing the White Australia Policy. The "White Australia" policy was actually a legacy dating back to goldrush times. Some Australians wanted a "White Australia" policy and to have immigration laws toughened. There was lingering resentment over the Chinese who had come during the gold rush, made their fortune (as they were far more industrious than Australians) and then returned to their own country, taking their fortune with them. Some stayed and set up businesses in towns, but they were always looked down upon. It was hoped by some (not all) that a White Australia policy would ensure employment for Australians. Some colonies were opposed to this policy as they used foreign labour, which was often much cheaper than local labour. An example of this is Queensland, which employed Kanakas (people from the Cook Islands). Under the new constitution, not only the Kanakas, but also the much-feared Chinese, who came to Australia during the gold rush, would not be allowed into Australia. Thus, there was a push for Federation (which eventually happened in 1901) which would eliminate unwanted foreigners, providing more employment for Australians.
What effect did the white Australia policy have on Australia?
Basically, when Australia became a federation in 1901 the establishment of the white Australia policy could actually be done as there was now one SINGLE government controlling immigration. Immigration (or the restriction of immigration) was one of the reasons that people wanted Australia to become a federation. Prior to Federation, some Australians believed Federation would enable the development and maintenance of a "White Australia", by toughening immigration laws. There was lingering resentment over the Chinese who had come during the gold rush, made their fortune (as they were far more industrious than Australians) and then returned to their own country, taking their fortune with them. Some stayed and set up businesses in towns, but they were always looked down upon. It was hoped by some (not all) that a White Australia policy would ensure employment for Australians.

What is the white Australia policy?
The purpose of the "White Australia" policy was essentially to protect Australia from infiltration by Asian cultures.

Why did kanakas come to Australia?
The practice was called blackbirding, the stealing of young Melanesians to work in the cane fields of Australia and Fiji. They were tricked by white setters into coming to Australia. They were considered cheap labour and not treated at all well.Some were willing slaves but the majority were either brought here under false pretences or blatantly stolen from their families to work mainly in the cane fields of this nation.During the late 1860s and early 1870s, "recruiters" ranged the South Seas in search of kanakas to work Queensland sugar and cotton plantations. Former South Seas trader Captain Robert Towns began this dubious practice in August 1873. Over almost 40 years, more than 800 ships scoured the waters of the South Seas, issuing about 62,000 contracts to people labelled kanakas - the Hawaiian name for "boy". It is a story of slavery, of how young men and women from exotic islands such as Pentecost, Tanna and Malaita in the Solomon Islands were taken, sometimes by force and sometimes by deception and shoved into the putrid hulls of ships and carried across to work in the cane fields of Australia and Fiji
