   Australia (1/5)

       From almost zero percent just thirty years ago, Asians now make up   
   well over 10 percent of the Australian population.1 The Census also   
   revealed that other non-White immigrant groups are also expanding   
   rapidly, including various African groups. All of this is dismal news   
   for White Australians and, indeed, for White people everywhere.   
   Unfortunately, these figures only mirror what is happening throughout   
   the West, where White people are under demographic and cultural siege   
   from race-replacing levels of Third World immigration and the official   
   embrace of "multiculturalism."   
      
      In just a few decades, these malignant policies have transformed   
   Western societies to the detriment of their European-derived popula-   
   tions and culture. It is a remarkable fact that this revolution in   
   immigration and social policy throughout the West occurred at around   
   the same time (1962-73), and that in all countries these changes   
   reflected the attitude of elites rather than the great mass of   
   citizens. Changes in immigration policy and the imposition of   
   multiculturalism were imposed on resentful European populations   
   despite overwhelming popular opposition to non-European immigration.   
   The driving force behind this totally undemocratic shift in policy was   
   the Jewish intellectual movements and ethno-political activism that   
   Kevin MacDonald documented in The Culture of Critique.   
      
      Australia was the last habitable continent settled by Europeans. In   
   1901 the British colonies of Australia federated to form an independ-   
   ent nation. The first Act passed by the new federal parliament was the   
   Immigration Restriction Act which, through imposing a dictation test   
   in any European language (usually English), effectively barred non-   
   White immigration to Australia. Until the cultural revolution of the   
   1960s, Australia remained an unashamedly White Christian nation   
   with a strong Anglo-Celtic ethnic base. Indeed the long-running (now   
   defunct) news magazine The Bulletin maintained the slogan "Australia   
   for the White Man" on its masthead until 1961. By 1947 the non-   
   European population, other than Aborigines, was measured at 0.25   
   percent of the total. As a result of the Immigration Restriction Act,   
   Australia had become, by this time, one of the Whitest countries in   
   the world.2 Ian Cook makes the point that: "The 'White Australia'   
   policy was a fairly self-conscious and explicit attempt to protect a   
   particular genetic inheritance from being diluted by other genetic   
   lines."3   
      
      Undisputed ownership of these territories of continen-   
   tal size was felt to be confirmed forever, not only by the fact of   
   possession, but by the hardships and dangers endured by the   
   early explorers and settlers; the years of back-breaking work to   
   build the foundations of urban and rural life. . . . The idea that   
   other peoples, who had taken no part in these pioneering efforts,   
   might simply arrive in large numbers to exploit important local   
   resources, or to take advantage of these earlier settlement efforts,   
   was anathema.7   
      
      Tied in with these natural and legitimate expressions of racial and   
   ethnic solidarity, were concerns hordes of non-White immigrants   
   would drive down the wages and living standards of White Australi-   
   ans.   
      
      Such concerns echoed through the decades of the White Australia   
   policy, where the country explicitly defined its nationhood in terms   
   of Whiteness and a policy of economic protectionism designed to   
   benefit the entire group by preventing Australian capitalists from   
   importing cheap labor that would undercut the living standards of   
   White Australians. The policy reflected the desire of Australians to   
   build a strong and prosperous society founded upon the principles of   
   racial and cultural homogeneity. Gwenda Tavan notes that the White   
   Australia policy was a "morally imbued affirmation of the type of   
   society Australians wanted to build.   
      
      Rather than being driven by any shift in public opinion, the impe-   
   tus for the progressive dismantling of the White Australia policy, and   
   the move from assimilation to multiculturalism between 1966 and   
   1975 came "from a small group of reformers that began appearing in   
   some Australian universities in the 1960s" who, like their   
   counterparts in the United States and Britain, soon comprised an   
   intellectual, academic and media elite who "developed a sense of being   
   a member of a morally and intellectually superior ingroup battling   
   against Australian parochial non-intellectuals as an outgroup."   
      
       Jewish ethnonationalism (exemplified in Israel's racially   
   restrictive immigration laws) is tacitly held to be legitimate and   
   uncontroversial (indeed a moral imperative), while White nationalism   
   is inherently illegitimate and morally corrupt.   
      
      The rampant hypocrisy of this is particularly striking given that   
   Australian Jews have "been at the forefront of support for the right   
   of the state of Israel to exist as a Jewish state, to determine its   
   own security agenda, and to do what is needed to ensure its own   
   survival."17 Indeed, the academic and Australian Jewish activist Danny   
   Ben-Moshe points out that Australian Jewry is fiercely Zionist and   
   "outdoes all other Diasporas in their commitment to Israel." A 1993   
   survey of Melbourne Jewry found that 63 percent had visited Israel   
   with over 40 percent having done so two or more times. This is   
   compared with 36 percent of American Jews. Australia also has the   
   highest rate of aliyah in the world.18 While strongly in favor of   
   non-White immigration and racial-mixing among non-Jews in Australia, a   
   publication like the Australian Jewish News can openly express the   
   view that for Jews "intermarriage has always been and will always be   
   an individual, spiritual and communal tragedy. No amount of petty   
   rationalising will ever change that."19   
      
      The Frankfurt School abandoned the White working class because they   
   were insufficiently radical and had succumbed to fascism in Germany   
   and Italy. This caused them to reject the orthodox Marxist emphasis on   
   class struggle, replacing it by advocating non-White immigration and   
   multiculturalism, as well as recruiting Whites who had complaints   
   against the traditional culture, particularly feminists and sexual   
   minorities, into a new coalition of the left.   
      
   Prime Minister Menzies [1949-66] was increasingly vexed by the   
   intrusion of racial and immigration issues at meetings of Com-   
   monwealth Heads of Government. Menzies (and even more ve-   
   hemently, one of his successors, John Gorton) loathed the way in   
   which he was lectured on the "principle of racial equality" by   
   newcomer members of the Commonwealth. Menzies and Gorton   
   [1968-71] believed that Australia's immigration policy was per-   
   fectly defensible and, in any case, none of their business. But the   
   die was already cast. Australia in the 1960s felt pressure from   
   within and from beyond.   
      
    In response to these mounting internal and external pressures, the
