The White Australia policy was a failure - it limited the types of migrants on the basis of the colour of their skin, not their ability to contribute to Australia's economy. Skin colour is determined by superficial levels of melanin in a person's skin cells and does not contribute to a person's intelligence or skill level. It also limited Australia's ability to criticise countries such as South Africa or Zimbabwe because of their treatment of their black citizens. Australia was much better off joining the broad community of nations where skin colour was ignored.

Actually, it gets a fairly regular outing on the ABC, Bobby. More for curiosity’s sake than anything else. A case of "what we used to think, look how we have changed for the better." :roll:

Skin colour may not define a person Cods but it’s a pretty good indicator of their culture. “White” just happens to correlate with people of European decent; in other words, people whose culture isn’t the antithesis of mine.
