The year 2013 is the 40th anniversary of the end of the 'White
Australia policy'. In these four decades Australia's immigration
policy has shifted from a primary concern with cultural homogeneity
or Britishness to a focus on demand-based skills through an
increasingly fine-tuned system of points tests, occupation lists
and employer-sponsored visas. Despite disproportionate
politicisation of asylum seekers in recent public discourse, the
intake of refugees and humanitarian entrants has remained
relatively small. While Australia's contemporary migrant and
refugee intake is truly multicultural, and governments continue to
adhere to an official multicultural policy, integration into the
Australian community and culture has been the dominant process,
especially for second and third generation Australians. Australian
identity and citizenship have changed in the last forty years,
making Australia and its people more pluralistic and richly
diverse. Becoming Australian focuses on the ways in which migrants
and refugees meet the challenges of 'becoming Australian' and the
transformative process for Australia and its people as they
incorporate the continuing influx of multicultural peoples.
