because, right.
the "White Australia Policy" was an absolute success and in no way shape or form the single most racist piece of leglislation in the western world outside South Africa since the 60s.

If you're looking for a model to defend your supposed lack of racism, I'd try and avoid using the most racist one out there really. It does, let's be honest, mark you out as a bit of a cock.

HAHAHA!!!
Nope, that was a complete failure and wrong.

I was refering to their current points based immigration policy, not their treatment of Aborignals

White Australia
Had nothing to do with the Aboriginal people. It was their immigration policy until the mid seventies. and it still had major support and parts of it form the basis of significant parts of their current immigration policy, although that's not officially acknowledged. In within the last 15 years the leader of the majority opposition (as in, more than 25% of the fucking vote) campaigned on a ticket of re-introducing racial discrimination on immigration policy. There are many great things about Australia but racial tolerance amongst the people or the politics sure as fuck isn't one.
