Fraser ended the White Australia policy. Was that wise?
He didn’t. It began being dismantled from 1949 and the process was completed by 1975, before Fraser took office. It was mostly done by the Menzies and Holt governments, with the Whitlam government dealing with the final traces of it.
Was it wise?
I think so, yes. The White Australia Policy was genuinely racist in both intent and effect. Stronger immigration controls based on other factors besides race may well be a good idea, but that one was not a good one.
