Multicultural society:
Australian history is a history of migration. The majority of Australians were migrants from western European countries like United Kingdom, Ireland and Italy, as well as from Asia, Africa and other regions. The Australian people welcome and have been providing enormous assistance to new migrants, including refugees, only a very few people oppose government immigration policy.
- Financial and employment status of migrants:
Statistics have shown that the income and employment rate of migrants (mainly skilled and business migrants) are higher than average Australian's, particularly in the past few years. They have made great contributions to the Australia economy and technology. In addition, the steady increase of migration intake has compensated the decline of the Australian birth rate.
- The most energetic economy in the developed world:
Australia has avoided the late 1990s Asian economic crisis and the current depression (2001-2002) throughout the rest of the developed world.
