Australia s Hermit Nation Strategy Unravels

by Binoy Kampmark / July 12th, 2021 Australia, like other island states, has had spells of isolationist fancy and hermit dispositions.  Protected by geography, distant and vast, the country’s first bit of legislation in 1901 was the Immigration Restriction Act.  This nasty little statute came to be colloquially known as the White Australia Policy.  Doors would remain open to Europeans and preferably those of Western stock. Fortress Australia has also had a few modern manifestations.  Refugees and asylum seekers who dare make their perilous journey to Australia via sea are rapidly whisked away into a privatised, Pacific concentration camp system.  They are solemnly promised never to be settled on the Australian mainland.

Indigenous guided walks in Australian cities: Now s the time to learn our hidden history

As Fortress Australia pulls the drawbridge even higher and rolling lockdowns continue to thwart family reunions, holidays and any sense of normalcy for our tourism industry, we ve all become very familiar with our own backyards. My own world has shrunk to a perimeter of a couple of kilometres this past week or two – or, more specifically, about 6000 steps around Sydney s picturesque Rushcutters Bay harbourside park, my daily walk. As holding pens go, it isn t bad. See Also But doing this walk repeatedly for the 18 months that I ve lived here, I realise I know very little about the history of the land I step on. I ve wondered how the bay got its name, but beyond that, I ve often thought about the First Peoples who lived there and what life must have been like for them before European invasion; a bountiful place, jumping with fish, framed by rolling hills covered in bio-diverse bushland and edged with sandstone caves for shelter.
