Australia- Trade and Immigration Background As Joycelyn has mentioned Australia's having greater and greater interaction with its Asian neighbours, through the areas of trade and its active role in the regional trade organization -
APEC. Despite its location, Australia can hardly be thought of being an Asian country. Not so long ago, Asian were looked down upon, with a mixture of fear because of the communist aggression, pity because of their poverty, and contempt, as they dumped cheap and poorly made products to do Australian workers out of job. For decades, high prohibitive tariffs blocked the imports of Asian goods, and a
'White Australia' policy fenced off Asian migrants. However, the situation is reversed in the past 2 decades. With

And Australia has found it hard to dismantle the barriers to processed minerals and food in the Asian markets, and this impedes their development of value-adding industries and job creation. But from the Asia's pt of view,
Australia's tiny population of 17 M means little to the Asian giants, for example when compared to Indonesia's 180 M.
A qoute from the Malaysian Info minister, 'Australia depends on Asia and not the other way around.' may reflects
Australia's position, at least this is the way the Asians see it.

Australia's willingness to open is its generous immigration policy. The # admitted stayed over 100,000 in the 80s, but was cut back to 80,000 in 92. Most of them were from
Asia. Besides the categories of family reunion and refugee,
Australia, like Canada, also attracted hundred of thousands of skilled or business immigrants from Hong Kong where people fled as the Chinese takeover approaches. These people brought in an enormous amt of capital, and also initiated a boom in the real estate market. The proportion of
Australian with Asian origins are expected to increase to 7% in 2000, as compared to 4% now. Most Australians feel uneasy about this sudden change in the ethnic mixtures of their countries, and opposing voices are high. The unemployment figure is double digit already, and most of the immigrants are unskilled since they were admitted for having relations in Australia. New policies call for

China has, for a sustained period of time, been one of Australia's most important trade and economic partners. But this has not always been the case. Since the late 1970s China has moved from a closed, internal focused economy to more of a global market oriented one that plays a major part in other nations economies, like Australia's. Although China is technically a Socialist nation, market capitalism is actively encouraged, much the same as in Australia. In 2010 China became the world's largest exporter, with exports ranging from natural resources to manufactured goods. (CIA-World fact book) Australia's economy, in this sense, differs from that of China's. As Australia is simply too expensive to manufacture goods ("Holden, Ford,
Today I will be comparing the experiences between two young people growing up in Australia. The two stories are "The Left Hander" by Oodgeroo Noonuccal and "Destiny" by Shalini Akhil. One is about a girl who wants to become Wonder Women but she has to alternate it because she is indian (Destiny) and the other is about a girl who always used her left hand but when she was noticed to use it, she was punished(The Left Hander) . Both authors focus on two memoirs Clash of Culture and Belonging v isolation, However these have different perspectives, "The Left Hander's" Perspective is negative whereas 'Destiny' has a positive perspective.

"Destiny's" setting is at home with the persons grandma talking about an alternate way of being wonder women. Both texts

Historically, Australia and its policies were not accepting of immigration of a Multicultural Australia. With the ‘White Australia Policy’, adopted in 1901 (when the colonies
The relationships we built with other countries during the 1900s was quite racist as we saw their people as cheaper labour than our own, people such as Afghans, Chinese and The Pacific Islander people often were disrespected through artworks and employment, Australian troops fought for Britain in wars such as the Boar War and WW2 was fought alongside the British, this was clear evidence that Australia was quite dependant on Australia. But during the 1930s we began to start becoming more accepting of people, when we let Jewish people who had fled their country in ours and educated them. We have established new relationships with other countries we have trades with many countries including Malaysia and Thailand, along with forming alliances with countries; Canada, Japan, North Korea, France, United Kingdom, New Zealand and The United States of America. Although we are still in an alliance with The United Kingdom we are growing further apart
Australia, the country on a whole, has been favourable to skilled foreign workers, generating lists of occupations every few years to invite skilled foreign workers into the country. Attractive schemes are employed where the skilled migrant receives ample remuneration. The Skilled Occupation list is released every now and then with modifications and additions to sectors where skilled individuals are required, making sure that conditions are mutually beneficial to both the country and the skilled migrant.
Summary tutorial: Australia’s migration policy Australia's multicultural lifestyles has always changed by the composition of its ethnics over time in the last hundreds of years. Cultures contact between people of from different background in Australia has been characterized throughout several policies, but sometimes occasionally resulted in conflict.

Australians role in the Asia Pacific region is an important economic growth in Australia. The common trade began in 1989, and is creating a seamless regional economy.

The mid1800s to the early 1900s saw vast change in the way Asia was perceived by Australia, a pendulum swing between both fear and optimism saw our country hit great highs and lows with our foreign neighbours. However, in the beginning, hostility was evident; ,a huge influx of Chinese migrants flocked to Australia in search of gold in the 1850s. The promise of a sustainable income coaxed the Chinese out of their homes, forcing them to leave behind their families in order to create an essential income to support their family . However, this posed a threat to the European settlers, vast amounts of Chinese migrants in search of gold lessened the chances of European wealth which threatened their superiority positions. Moreover, anti-Chinese laws
Since the early nineteenth century, Chinese migration to Australia has played a big role in the economic and political development of Australia (Inglis 2012). According to their 2011 census, the rapid growth in migration is evident (Inglis 2012). In 2011, Australia’s long-term resident population increased over five years by 8.3% to 21,507,717 people (Inglis 2012). Surprisingly, even more rapid has been the growth in numbers involving the Chinese population. Of about 319,000, those born in China were 1.5% of Sydney’s total population (Inglis 2012). This ranked them as the third largest foreign born group in Sydeny, ranking behind only those born in England 4.2% and New Zealand 2.2% (Inglis 2012). Although this ranking has been unchanged since 2006, the numbers of those born in China has increased rapidly by 50% over this five year period (Inglis 2012).
