| | Other restrictions included a dictation test, used to exclude certain applicants by requiring them to pass a written test in a language, with which they were not necessarily familiar, nominated by an immigration officer. | | | It also prohibited prostitutes, criminals, and anyone under a contract or agreement to perform manual labour within Australia (with some limited exceptions). | | | This fact sheet is also available as a PDF document. |

| | However, there is not consensus within the ruling class on the sort of immigration policies that Australia needs in order to maintain this position. | | | Yet immigration laws such as Ruddock's show that the First World is increasingly determined to protect its privileged position. | | | In a November 18 briefing paper, Amnesty opposed the new regulations because they will directly contravene obligations under the 1951 Refugee Convention. |

| | IN DEFENCE OF AUSTRALIA'S POLICY TOWARDS NON-WHITE IMMIGRATION |
| | In all situations, our first preference must be to argue each case on its individual merits. | | | In this paper I wish, as both a social scientist and as a conservative, to rebut the usual criticisms made by academics and positively to argue for Australia's present policy. | | | Their protest against our policy is, in fact, the protest of a country which forbids permanent immigration of foreigners against a country which will accept any number of Japanese applicants of sufficient educational standards. |

| | The essential clause of the Act, rather than naming particular races or groups for exclusion, provided for a dictation test in a European language to be administered to prospective immigrants; an East Indian with a knowledge of English could be given a test in French, German, or, if need be, Lithuanian. | | | In 1901, one of the first pieces of legislation passed by the newly federated Commonwealth of Australia was the Immigration Restriction Act which was designed to make it virtually impossible for non-Europeans to immigrate to Australia. | | | The Act required that immigrants pass entrance tests in European languages. |
