there was a "white Australian policy" put in place in 1901,

it was one of the first things Australia did when they first federated in Jan 1st 1901.

They also put in an Immigration restriction act, which only allowed Britain people in Australia and other people who weren't British were forced to do a test to be allow to come into Australia

i guess it slowly degraded, because in 1930's we went through the bust in the economy, and so we wanted more people to come into Australia but only British people, however British people were also suffering, so we started letting other European people into our country, such as Italian's German's etc.

as the year went by, we slowly relaxed, and become multicultural like we are today
