    The arrival of the Boat People of Vietnam played a huge part in Australian history. This was the turning point from when the Australians believed in the phrase Populate or Perish and only wanted to bring in English immigrants, to welcoming and helping the Vietnamese. They would stop the people of other nationalities by making near impossible literacy tests in the language that that person was least likely to know. This made sure that Australia was almost a completely white nation. When the Australian government started to realize the struggles of the Vietnamese, the lengths

As a matter of fact, Bastian (2012) continues to state that this change is strongly attributed to immigration, which continues to foster strong cultural and economic growth in Australia. As Australia continues to open its borders to an increasingly diverse population, Australians themselves continue to open their minds to accommodate diversity in the form of new lifestyles, foods, traditions, values, beliefs and so forth (Bastian, 2012). According to Henry & Kurzak (2013), the 2011 census show that 26% of Australians were born abroad and 20% have either one or both
