Abstract
[Truncated] Thesis examines political aspects of the migration of
refugees from totalitarian regimes to Australia, with
particular reference to the political responses to the arrival of
refugees from Vietnam after the Communist victory there in
1975, and places these responses in an historical context.
As refugees from Communism, the Vietnamese received
a hostile reception from much of the "left". However, several
influential spokesmen associated with what would be
traditionally known as the "right" argued that they should be
made welcome. This was something of a reversal of common
stereotyping which identifies "racism" as a "right-wing"
phenomena.
