    Due to this change an estimated 300, 000 Chinese and 200,000 Vietnamese immigrants have resettled within Australia since 1975 through a series of migration programs (Collins 2013 & Coughlan 2008). This impacted Cabramatta drastically during the 70’s as Refugees and migrants found asylum within Australia after the Vietnam War, now 27.7% of residents within Cabramatta have Vietnamese ancestry, and 27.0% have Chinese (Australian Bureau of Statistics 2011). Studies have theorised that these Indo-Chinese cultures migrated to Cabramatta due to the attractiveness of low-price renting, low socio-economic climate and the close proximity to refugee centres (Dunn 1993 pp. 232). Also a factor was the availability of industrial or Factory work that required little qualifications, enabling Indo-Chinese migrants to obtain work and be able to sponsor and accommodate for family members or friends to resettle within Australia causing a chain migration (Dun 1993 & Waitt et all…

    As Alexander Davis expresses it, “Australia as a vast ‘empty’ island continent, situated geographically within touching distance of ‘overpopulated’ Asia”. The vastness, relative distance from other primarily European or white nations as well as the felt vulnerability to larger or more populated countries creates in the Australian psyche a need to be protected without being cajoled (Davis, 2013). Coupled with this is the social consequence of the Australian White Only policy which sought to exclude Asians immigration the country. A factor that for many within the Asiatic regions is remembered and referred to when discussions of treaties are being negotiated…

    I am writing to you on the basis of your new policy of “Stopping the boats”. I believe that it is highly unethical that one should restrict the access of another human being, who is displaced by means of war or poverty into the Australian border. The concerns I am raising are thematically paralleled in the Australian National Anthem “ For all who’ve come across the seas we’ve boundless plains to share”. Why must this policy dictate entry access to our nation if it is indicatively stated that we have “Boundless place to share”?…

    Laws in Australia are often created to protect the country from perceived threats from outside of the nation. Australia as a nation has significantly grown in population, allies and fears. Australia’s population growth is mainly due to immigration after the Second World War affecting contemporary Australia. The nation was also able to build itself an image in the international community when Australia was able to have a say in its foreign policies and allies.

    This report examines the seriousness of the issue on refugees and asylum seekers that Australia is facing, and also shows that there is a need of change in Australia's policy on this matter. Although in recent times, there have been a several changes made. However, with a country that has such strict immigration law and policy for refugees like Australia, this report reveals the contradictions between Australian's legal system with the UN policy of human rights; and research also shows that the attempt made has not been enough on gaining remarkable progress.

    It is no secret that Australia’s major cities – Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide – are rapidly growing both in population and in urban development. While Sydney and Melbourne put Brisbane in third place for Australia’s largest concentrated population, Brisbane encompasses the most crowded local government area in the country as well as the biggest population growth rate. Such unforeseen growth projects a doubling in overall population just within the next three decades; even if there is to be increased urban planning and settlement redistribution, all of these cities will surpass their carrying capacities by the mid-21st century. Unfortunately, the desperate need for government action and planning in this regard remains unanswered.…
