Immigration Nation SBS
Anyone watching it.
OMG what immigrants faced only 50/60 years back.
The colour test
the shite jobs, the chinese who fought in the war and were then sent back without their aussie wives and children. OMG!
One things the same
false advertising, immigrant from italy was saying he was shown images of aussies green fields filled with spring flowers, got a bit of a shock when he arrived in melbournes brown crisp summer, 103f ( 40c ish ) with the furnace winds
Great show. But pretty shocking.

Very interesting.
Disgraceful that they deported Asian people after the war, even if the bloke had fought for Australia.

Yes I watched it. A very interesting programme. Funny how you had to be a "Beautiful Balt" to come to Australia in the early days of Continental European immigration!
