[Not even scholars challenging the orthodox view that the White Australia Policy was a racist blot on the nation s honor support suggestions that its abolition was a catastrophic mistake. An unshakeable consensus among managerial, professional, political and academic elites in favor of racial egalitarianism has prevented a long overdue re-assessment of the policies permitting mass Third World immigration into Australia. Recent advances in genetics, paleo-anthropology, psychology and medical science have demonstrated the existence of significant racial differences in cognitive and athletic ability, temperament and behavior.

Australian PM’s China Stance Is Politically Motivated: Opposition Leader
Australian Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese has taken aim at the prime minister’s handling of Australia’s relations with China, claiming it is politically motivated and has put the country’s resources industry at risk.
Albanese delivered the remarks at the launch of Minerals Week hosted by the Mineral Council of Australia while outlining the Australian Labor Party’s (ALP) vision for the $200 billion sector, including support for a gradual transition towards renewable energies.

The modern system advanced with empire. From a small number of highly exclusive orders restricted to the aristocracy and high-ranking military, British subjects serving in the colonies began to receive honours in the 19th century.
