  • Riassunto

  • The Second World War changed everything — or mostly everything. In Episode 4 of Australia Fair, host Janak Rogers dives into the complexities of Australia's post-war immigration policies and their impact on diverse migrants. Janak’s parents were a British ex-soldier and an Indian diplomat’s daughter who met on a trip to the Taj Mahal and later migrated to Australia. But their journey to Australia was thanks to the benign-sounding, but clearly racially driven, Assisted Passage Migration Scheme. The scheme allowed British immigrants, known as "ten pound poms," to settle in Australia for just £10. The episode explores the origins of this migration scheme, tied to Australia's post-war fears and the "Populate or Perish" policy. Hear how Australia’s immigration policy evolved from a strictly racial preference to a more inclusive, albeit imperfect, approach.
