- Abstract:
The article talks about the concept of immigration in Australian political speech. It mentions about the implementation of post-Federation immigration policy which restrict immigrants from countries other than the Great Britain or Ireland along with the implementation of the Displaced Persons Scheme following World War II; and also discusses the categorical denial of racism and the simultaneous exclusion, oppression and demonisation of minorities such as asylum seekers.
