Title: '白澳政策' 述评 ('Bai Ao zheng ce' shu ping)

Title translated into English: A comment on the 'white Australia policy'

Periodical Title: 福建师范大学学报: 哲社版 (Fujian shi fan da xue xue bao: zhe she ban) Journal of Fujian Normal University: philosophy and social sciences edition

Volume / Date / Page Numbers: 1994, no. 2: 105-112

NLA Call Number: OCS 4001 0128

Synopsis of Content: Both this and the article by Zhang Ande (Journal of Hubei University: philosophy and social sciences, vol. 22, no. 2, 1995: 51-57) discuss the rise and fall of White Australia Policy. Both viewpoints are very similar but differ over the fall of White Australia Policy. While both discuss the anti-racial discrimination movement initiated by a group of University of Melbourne students in the 1950s, Zhang and Ye emphasize Australia's passive position in the policy change. The points they raise include the shortage of labour after the World War II, the struggle of Aborigines, and criticism of racism caused by the problem of autonomy of Papua New Guinea. In contrast, Zhang Ande points to a reactive position - the shift of diplomatic focus from Europe to Asia and the mitigation of racial conflicts caused by the post-war economic prosperity. Zhang and Ye argue that the White Australia policy did not change until the early 1970s. Zhang Ande argues that its gradual abolition began in the 1950s.

Given Australia's success as a beef-exporter, and China's increasing production of beef cattle, the author recommends that China studies and learns from the Australian experience. In particular, the author argues that Australia's experience will be useful in relation to meeting market expectations; maintaining quality and hygiene standards; making use of technological advances; and protecting national tax revenues.

Synopsis of Content: Discusses the role played by the 1940s Australian Prime Minister, John Curtin, in the Pacific War. The author thinks very highly of Curtin and of his actions and policies as a war time prime minister. The author's view is that Curtin made a great contribution to the 'war against fascism', and describes him as Australia's 'most loved and esteemed leader'. The article details the problems faced by Australia in the Pacific war. It discusses the need to defend Australia against Japan, Australia's move from dependence on Britain to alliance with the United States, and Curtin's repeated attempts to bring Australian troops back home to protect Australia. The author also highlights the effects that the Second World War, and in particular the war against Japan, had on Australia domestically. He details the debate over conscription for overseas service, the high proportion of the Australian population that participated in the war, the rationing of food and materials, and the financial costs of the war to Australia.

Synopsis of Content: Investigates the nature of Australia's relations with Asia since the Second World War. The Second World War forced Australia to recognise the importance of Asia to Australia and hence to determine its place in the region. The article criticises Australia's lack of independence in foreign affairs and close alliance with the United States during the Cold War, labelling Australia's conduct in America's containment of 'communist expansionism in Asia' as dishonourable (eg Australia's involvement in Korea and Vietnam). The article then describes Australia's turn towards Asia since the 1970s, in relation to trade and immigration. It concludes by saying that although Australia's task of finding its place in Asia is made difficult by differences of culture and tradition, if Australia makes the most of its special qualities, seizes opportunities and follows stable policies it can play a useful part in the region.

Synopsis of Content: An article about what the reporter saw during Australia Day in Sydney. The first paragraphs briefly describe the celebrations, the oath ceremony for new immigrants, and introduces a Chinese person who was named Australian of the year. The last paragraphs mention how the local media queried the date of the National Day, as the day of the arrival of the First Fleet at Sydney just marked the beginning of European invasion into Australia and of the tragedy of Aborigines. Since the Australian government has adopted reconciliation policy, it is now queried whether 26 January should be the National Day of Australia.

Synopsis of Content: Introduces the origin and development of multiculturalism in Australia based on the authors' participation in a conference of global pluralistic culture in April 1995. The authors think that multiculturalism fits Australian conditions, but it has its shortcomings and is not perfect in implementation. Firstly, the over-emphasis on it leads to more racial conflicts. It also weakens the Australian national spirit, as people may tend to take a stand based on their own races. Secondly, the implementation is not satisfactory. Aborigines still live at the lowest social stratum. Aborigines think the policy cannot solve their particular problems. According to non-European immigrants, multiculturalism is regarded as conflict of interests between British immigrants and non-British European immigrants, and between early and later immigrants.

Synopsis of Content: Describes Australia's shift of trade focus from Europe and America to ASEAN countries during the 1980s and early 1990s. Levels of imports, exports and investment with East Asia are compared for the period (several tables included). The article details the trade ratios with individual ASEAN countries, Australian commodities traded with ASEAN and investment between Australia and ASEAN. An assessment of the newly elected Coalition government's policies toward ASEAN follows. The new government's Asia policies are regarded as positive: although they seek to strengthen political ties with Western nations, their economic focus is still Asia-centred. The article then assesses Australia's economic future with ASEAN countries. It points to Australia's development of close economic relations with ASEAN countries, in particular with Japan, South Korea, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore. It emphasises Australia's influence in the Pacific, and describes Australia as a bridge between Asia and the world. It says, however, that this position poses some difficult choices for Australia, such as where we stand in relation to trade liberalisation. It describes the major Western economic powers, the European Union and North America, as exploiting developing Asian countries for their own economic benefit, and to their detriment.

Synopsis of Content: A thorough study of Australian government policy toward Asia from the 1970s to late 1990s, focussing on the Coalition's foreign policy direction after forming government in 1996. It covers the Coalition's move away from Keating's policy of 'enmeshment' with Asia to one of 'comprehensive engagement'. It reviews Howard's shift from regarding Asia as our 'number one' priority, to seeking engagement with Asia while maintaining and developing other important ties worldwide. The increased emphasis on Australia's own political, cultural and historical traditions and the strengthening of Australia's security relationship with the United States are also considered. The author assesses Australia's position in Asia, holding that Australia's geography and natural resources make it an important country in Asia, and reflects that, although Australia has actively pursued trade liberalisation, it has not been able to keep up with the new economic leaders in Asia, such as Singapore and Hong Kong. Australia's active promotion of trade liberalisation within Asia is viewed as important and useful. The author considers a multidimensional foreign policy approach to be appropriate for Australia and encourages Australia to determine its own individuality. This approach will prove positive for Australia's relations with Asia.

Synopsis of Content: The introduction reads 'During the 1970s and 1980s, Australia held a naval advantage over neighbouring Asia Pacific countries. During the 1990s, however, the rapid economic development of East Asian countries allowed them to improve their naval capabilities. Over this period, the Australian navy's comparative advantage has been steadily dropping. In order to maintain a balance of power, the Australian navy plans to acquire major new equipment. By 2005, the total force capabilities will possess six Adelaide guided missile frigates, eight ANZAC frigates, six Collins Class submarines, and nine to twelve patrol boats'. The article also contains pictures of the naval vessels under discussion.

Synopsis of Content: A brief account of the rise of racism of Pauline Hanson and the refutation of the ruling coalition party. The article begins with a quotation of the address of John Howard in 8 May that refuted the racist speech of Pauline Hanson. But the reporter comments that if Howard had made this address 8 months before, that would have been much better. The racism of Hanson has resulted in the 'One Nation Party' becoming a considerable political power so that the government takes action to 'struggle' with it.

Synopsis of Content: The first in a series of three articles discussing Australia's Stolen Generation. It mentions the international attention as well as domestic debate attracted by Australian indigenous issues. The author refers to a 1997 High Court decision determining that a 1918 Northern Territory Law, allowing the forced removal of Aboriginal children from their families, was not constitutionally invalid. The author's attitude is sympathetic to the Aboriginal people, and expresses the view that although the High Court's decision may be valid on purely legal grounds, it is hard to accept on a human level. The article then introduces a number of personal stories told by Aboriginal people of the Stolen Generation. The stories are of children taken from their parents, or tricked by police and then placed in girls' and boys' homes. They describe experiences of ill treatment and hardship in these institutions and the extreme difficulty in contacting parents again.

Synopsis of Content: The second in a series of three articles on the Stolen Generation. It looks into the reasons for the forced removal of Aboriginal children from their families, and argues that the overall aim of the policy was assimilation of the Aboriginal race. The article discusses the policy's aim of giving Aboriginal children a 'white' upbringing and their use as an 'exploitable labour force'. It looks at the findings of the 1997 report 'Bringing them home', highlighting, the high proportion of the Aboriginal population directly affected by the policy and the ongoing harm it has caused to individuals, families and the Aboriginal people.

Synopsis of Content: The third in a series of three articles on the Stolen Generation.

The article covers the debate over apology and compensation and contains quotes from the former Governor-General Sir William Dean, Lady Dean, Prime Minister John Howard and the Sydney Morning Herald.

The second section discusses how the homes of Australians are very big but their offices are very small. The third section talks about the life of farmers and describes how Australian farmers compete with Americans in wheat export by improving the quality. Australian farmers get no subsidy from the government, unlike their counterparts in the US. The fourth part talks about how hard the life of Chinese students is in Australia. The writer says that in order to earn money, Chinese students are used to doing hard jobs that the Whites are not willing to do.

Synopsis of Content: Strategies of Australian diplomacy were adjusted according to changes in global politics since the end of World War II. At the initial stage, Australian strategy tended to be negative and conservative. Since the 1970s, it became be more active, showing independence and individuality. There were three stages in this development: (1) negative regional defensive strategy (since the end of WWII to 1949); (2) forward defence strategy caused by the Cold War (1950 - 1972); (3) cooperative strategy of fostering peace and development (from 1972 onward).

Synopsis of Content: The author thinks that there are paradoxical characteristics in the Australian national psychology. This article attempts to analyse the causes of it. The paradox is the co-existence of senses of inferiority and superiority. Firstly, the root of inferiority mainly stems from the history of exile of their convict ancestors. The second is the tough and isolated life in undeveloped Australia. The author argues that Australian's balanced this sense of inferiority by pursuing a sense of superiority. Consequently they drove themselves to struggle with the natural environment. On the other hand, their European cultural tradition makes themselves feel superior to Aborigines and other Asian migrants. The then popular Social Darwinism reinforced this stance. The independence since 1901 and the economic takeoff since the mid-19th century further strengthen Australians' self-confidence.

Synopsis of Content: An introduction to voluntary services in Australia. The reporter highly appreciates their contribution to society (There is no concept of voluntary services in Mainland China. Besides the state formal institutions, Chinese communities mainly rely upon neighbourhood mutual aid). The reporter explains that the desire of many Australians like to become volunteers mainly stems from their religious beliefs. Furthermore, some unemployed people want to gain some working experience from voluntary work.

Synopsis of Content: Introduces some of the main forms of social welfare available in Australia: the old age pension; unemployment benefits; single parent family benefits; allowances for indigenous Australians; and Medicare. The authors focus on some of the problems associated with Australia's comprehensive system of welfare, such as high levels of tax and welfare abuse. The issue of dole bludgers is illustrated by the example of young people who live on the Gold Coast, surfing by day and drinking by night. Dole bludging is cited as a major point of concern for wage earners. The article is positive about the provision of free public facilities in Australia, such as parks and museums. It concludes that although Australia's comprehensive system of welfare is not suited to China, its basic ideas and principles are useful. Firstly, it recommends that social welfare services should be incorporated as a part of the market economy, especially in the provision of free public facilities. Secondly, it emphasises the need for assistance for the elderly and low-income earners during times of critical need. Thirdly, it recommends that China's system of administration needs revising.

Synopsis of Content: This historical piece discusses Australia's economic and social development from 1788 to the early 1930s. The author describes these developments as unique, emphasising Australia's strong economic dependence on Britain. The tailoring of Australia's economy to British interests, and early but protected exposure to the world market are two reasons given for this uniqueness. Australia's peaceful transition from a British colony to an independent nation is also taken as significant.

Synopsis of Content: Examines Australia's entry into the Vietnam War, placing Australia's involvement in the context of the cold War, anti-Communism, and Australia's relationship with the United States. The author's view is that outside military involvement in Vietnam was wrong, and therefore Australia's involvement in the war was a mistake. The article criticises the dependent nature of the Australian government's security alliance with the United States and the resulting lack of independence in foreign affairs. While outlining lessons for Australia from the Vietnam War, the author stresses the importance of calculating all possible outcomes and acting in the 'national interest', of acting independently, and of gaining historical and cultural understanding. The author recommends that the best way for Australia to contribute to stability and peace in Asia is to work towards mutual understanding and respect through political, economic and cultural exchange.

During these twenty years, Australians experienced the Depression, the recovery of the 1920s, and the worldwide crisis of the 1930s. These changes smashed popular ideology, thereby bringing a period of literary renewal and a flow of cultural and political ideas from overseas. The newly developing schools of thought provided the breeding ground for contemporary political literature.'

Synopsis of Content: Researching the White Australia policy, says the author, not only provides a better understanding of the Labor party but is also useful in understanding the racialism promoted by the One Nation party. This critical study discusses the racially discriminatory attitude of the trade union movement, and hence the Labor party's support and promotion of the White Australia policy. It also discusses the party's change of position in the 1970s and the ongoing influence of the White Australia mindset.

Synopsis of Content: According to the writer, 'The birth of the republic "baby", long-awaited by many Australians, did not happen as scheduled. In the general referendum held on the sixth, one and a half century's worth of republic activity once again suffered defeat - the battle was lost 46% to 54%. Between six states, only Melbourne's state of Victoria passed it by a slender majority of 50.1% … Many people put the blame on Prime Minister Howard's stubborn protectionist attitude toward the monarchy and cunning political tactics'. This article discusses the issues surrounding the 1999 referendum for a republic. The author seeks to uncover the reasons for the republic's failure, looking into the role of the Prime Minister, the divide in the 'yes' case, and problems with the model proposed in the referendum.
