1976 - The White Australia Policy EndsIn Eighteen-fiftyThe pop. was little, The laws on migrants Non-committal. With gold discovered The Chinese came, And their successes Put Aussies to shame. But Diggers adopted A rather dim view: 'They are so many, We are so few.' They forced the laws To be re-written, To keep out migrants Who weren't from Britain. They kept this up For some six decades, This tonguing of The barricades, And seeing the land As their holy see, Urged a Keep Australia White policy. The law was cunning As the jungle lynx, It didn't specify 'No Boongs - No Chinks.' The way it worked, How they got finessed, Was by a simple Dictation test. Unwanted Asians Were ordered to pen Fifty words in Dutch Or Hungarian. It had to be veiled, The point was ticklish, Because many spoke Quite fluent English. The system worked, In Europe reigned fear And so many people Aspired to get here. But when the dust settled These whites came no more, And war refugees Right through the floor. 'Ah, what do we care,' Said Aussies all huff, We'll have to stop it, There just aren't enough.' And so in the Eighties With the pop. so little The non-whites despised Received an acquittal. Of course it can't last, One day headlines will scream: 'Let's stop all this influx, Keep Australia Cream!'
