Immigration to Australia
Introduction
Australia is often described as one of the ‘classical countries of immigration’.
The concept of being a ‘nation of immigrants’ is at the center of Australian identity.
Australia is a unique country, and it has a long history of population growth due to
immigration. Australia is a young country and has not fully developed. It is commonly
called “The Land of Opportunity.” This paper will discuss the history of immigration,
the history of the immigration policy, the economic, social and cultural, and the
population impacts of immigration to Australia.
The History-Immigration to Australia
The history of immigration to Australia started before 1770. The first human
inhabitants of Australia were the Aborigines. The word Aborigine is derived from Latin
and means “from the beginning”. This is not the name that the Aborigine people called

dark-skinned people belonging to the Australoid group. The Aborigines were nomadic
hunter-gathers. They roamed from place to place, gathering fruits, nuts and yams, which
they ate. They were hunters who used spears and boomerangs to kill animals. “There
were around 300,000 aborigines in about 250 tribal groups before the first white settlers

...at these several events in our nation’s history have demoralised our reputation to other countries globally. To make us known as a better country to other nations, we’ve completely abolished the White Australia Policy, gave back the aborigines their freedoms and we were also the first country in the world to give women rights. Australia today in present day is now one of the most multicultural societies on Earth, and we definitely follow our values of mateship, acceptance and freedom.

...ge from Siberia to get to America. An argument against Feders’ theory could have been; the First Americans did not come from Siberia because it takes about 25,000 years for DNA to change and the First Americans arrived about 13,000 years ago. This article shows that it is likely the First Americans did come from Siberia.
Since the time of federation the Aboriginal people have been fighting for their rights through protests, strikes and the notorious ‘day of mourning’. However, over the last century the Australian federal government has generated policies which manage and restrained that of the Aboriginal people’s rights, citizenships and general protection. The Australian government policy that has had the most significant impact on indigenous Australians is the assimilation policy. The reasons behind this include the influences that the stolen generation has had on the indigenous Australians, their relegated rights and their entitlement to vote and the impact that the policy has had on the indigenous people of Australia.

Ever since the 1970s, Australia has become a multicultural nation. Australia’s multiculturalism is a way to explain the variety of ethnic backgrounds within the Australian people. “It implies that there are many ways of being Australian, not just one ‘Australian way of life’” (Carter 333).

Multiculturalism is the ethnic and cultural diversity that exists within a certain area. Different countries display various forms of multiculturalism. The most common form of multiculturalism is whereby a citizen of a certain country is born overseas, or of the parents of the individual is born overseas.
