AUSTRALIA
How many Australians do you think there are ? there are 25 million Australians.
There is a lot of land but not many inhabitants. Now, where do most Australians originate from ? Well, Europe actually.
90 % of Australians are from Europe, mainly from the British isles. In the 1820s, the British sent their prisoners to Australia. Now you must wonder if all Australians descend from former prisoners ? Not today.
In the 1900s, some gold was found. It attracted a lot of people. Then, more settlers came, sometimes encouraged by free travel and land grants.
After World War I, Australia had a 'white Australia' immigration programme. Only white immigrants could enter. But this controversial, racist Policy was abandoned in 1973.
Today, lots of immigrants come from Asia and Oceania. Competition to enter the country is very hard and more people are rejected than accepted. Immigration is carefully managed : immigrants have to have the right skills.
Thank you so much DBW !
