Australia accepted refugees from Vietnam arriving by boat in the 1970s primarily due to humanitarian concerns following the Vietnam War, which caused widespread displacement and trauma. The Australian government aimed to provide safe haven for those fleeing persecution, violence, and the potential repercussions of the communist regime. Additionally, there was a broader commitment to international obligations regarding refugees and a desire to contribute positively to the post-war recovery in Southeast Asia. This influx also played a role in shaping Australia's multicultural identity.
