Australia Fair: The Long Tail of the White Australia Policy

Australia is often touted as a multicultural success story, but what does that really mean? And how did we get here?

Drawing on his experiences, Janak examines the contradictions in Australia's identity as a celebrated multicultural nation with a long history of racism.
