Migrants moved to Australia for many different reasons such as The Cold War, The Holocaust, new beginnings, work, communism, etc. Albeit Australia was welcoming people with open arms, the people of non-European backgrounds, or ‘Undesirables’ were not wanted in the country. People with non-European backgrounds who wanted to move to Australia had to face the Dictation test, which was a test were a person got told 50 words in a different language from their own, the test giver would not be allowed to pause or slow down. The Dictation test was often given in a language the person didn’t know so that way they were not able to get into
WWII had a big impact on the social changes in Australia before and after the war. One of the reasons it had such an impact on Australia was due to the immigration policy, which was made to increase Australia’s population. The immigration policy is a policy on legal migrants. Legal migrants who come to Australia under the migration act are non – Australians who come to the country for work or other reasons without permission or people who overstay their visas. This enforces that those who come in the country without permission may be subject to mandatory immigration detention and may be deported from the country at any time, unless been given permission to stay in Australia. This policy has contributed to the multicultural society of Australia today. To this day, there in an estimated 50 000 people who have overstayed their visas, most of these people come from British nations. Those touching base by boat or different means without official classification as refugees are no longer granted permission outcast status on landing. For example, those from an Asian background are becoming a more familiar part of Australia’s society today. Overseas migrant entries have assumed a vital part in changing the face of Australia. The current variety of migrants born in Australia include areas such as The United Kingdom, New Zealand, Italy, Vietnam, China, Greece, Germany, Philippines and India. Since the change in immigration policy in the late 1960s to one of non-discrimination on race or ethnic background, there has been a significant change in the overseas sources of migrants, with settlers arriving from more diverse regions of the world. To this day, Australia’s overseas born population consists of people who practise over 140 recognized ethnic groups, people who fluently speak over 90 different languages and people who believe in over 80 different religions. This expanding ethnic and social diversity has changed the way Australians view both themselves and other societies of the world. It has
Korean migration to Australia is believed to have commenced as early as 1920 and it is thought they may have been the children of Australian Protestant missionaries who were working in Korea around 1885.

It was in 1945 following the end of WWII that thee Chifley Labour Government established the Department of Immigration with Arthur Calwell at its head. The department used the slogan ‘Populate or Perish’ to promote the idea of increase Australia’s population to the people. The surrounding events such as the recent war and vulnerability to border security breech by the Japanese on top of the small population, convinced the then prime minister Ben Chifley and the Australian public that immigration was vital to the nation’s survival.

Since World War 2 and the Vietnam War, Australia has become a multicultural country. Before the Vietnam War, though, the Australian government tried their best to keep Australia ‘white’. After the fear of communism from Vietnam, the government thought it would be in the country’s best interest to try and build up the population in Australia, but only allowing ‘white’ Europeans and British people to come. What is included in this report, is to discover how and why the migrants from non-European countries manage to change the face of modern Australia.

The Hungarians who migrated after World War II were refugees who came to Australia looking for a better life and in doing so significantly contributed to the country by not only offering their culture to the development of Australia’s multiculturalism but by also contributing to the academic and artistic life of Australia. The main reason for Hungarian immigration to Australia was the Hungarian Revolution that followed the disaster of World War II. In Australia the Hungarians quickly proved their dedication to making the most of their new life in Australia and in doing so, contributed to the development of Australian society.
Migrants and immigrants are from a whole different world, although many authors in Growing up Asian in Australia were born in Australia and while their customs and traditions are seen as the norm to them they are seen as different by many Australians. These cultural traditions and practices are far from what the majority are used to and so are neither known nor understood. This result usually in people misunderstanding migrant’s individuality and can cause unfair exclusion. Governed was horrified when the school bully accused her of wiping her “butt with her hands” on the terms of her Indian background and as a result had to deal with constant teasing and taunts
I believe that the two topics that I have chosen relate to each other in many ways. The racial tension came from the migrating races to Australia, and the issues that the Australians of the time had with the “new people”. The migration occurred because there was a growing business in a new country, there were more opportunities for trade and everyone wanted to try their luck on the gold fields. I found the migrating story’s from the Chinese to be more of an interesting theme. This is the same with the racial tension, the mass groups of Chinese were the main targets with the racism.
A couple weeks ago, my boyfriend and I were barbecuing with our downstairs neighbors, Henry and Estelle, and they announced to us that they were moving to Australia in September. Henry was offered a position he'd been waiting for in engineering and could not refuse the opportunity. As we were drinking some celebratory wine under a beautiful sunset, I shouted out that there was a spider on my boyfriend Collin’s armrest because I thought it was funny how uncomfortable my boyfriend is with spiders. Then we all heard a loud scream coming out of Estelle’s mouth and burst out laughing. When she started crying, her boyfriend started comforting her, and Collin and I both had a shocked look on our faces.
Moving to Australia was one of the most difficult and hard decision to make in my entire life. It was like choosing who to save from fire mum or dad? Growing up in a Korean culture in a foreign culture made me miss my country even more. It was like the waves constantly hitting the rocks until it overflowed. When I first came, I focused on watching Australian or American shows to learn and improve my English skills which resulted in listening to numerous pop songs as well. However, there was a phase where it all changed, I have completely changed my favour of American shows to Korean tv shows and music. This made me realise that I haven't forgotten about Korea yet miss it miserably, which even made me to think about where I was going to live in future 'Korea or Australia?' Because I couldn't go to Korea every year, I
A possible reason for migration to Canada is mainly for economic advancement as Russia major export is from energy sector like natural gas, oil, and precious metals.Russia also depends on arms exportation like fighter jets and other military hardwares.

Asian Immigrants have gone from having a continuous restriction year to year then to becoming a major part of Australian society. However, since the policy of Integration in 1970 and the abolishment of the dictation test in 1958 Asians has had the opportunity to migrate to Australia. This has been continuous since that major change with more and more arriving every year. The changes in these policies were made as Australia was becoming a more multicultural society and the Asian Migration wave has altered Australia today by making Australia richer and more culturally diverse. Asian immigrants have also contributed to the change in the Australian Political Policies which has allowed Migrants to become more accepted into Australia. Because of this no changes should be made to these political
