The unofficial 'White Australia policy' keeps out unwanted immigrants. State government immigration programs for a vigorous new Australia are dashed by World War One. Rebuilding programs in the 1920s are stopped by the Great Depression but the experience of World War Two provides extra reasons to expand the population.

(1985, 11 mins) A co-production of Film Australia and the Australian Institute of Multicultural Affairs.
