Drawing from his experiences growing up in 1980s Sydney, Janak explores how Australia's colonial past and policies like the White Australia policy have shaped the country's approach to race and immigration. Featuring insights from experts like Jacqui Katona, Tim Soutphommasane, and Abul Rizvi, the episode delves into the brutal impact of colonialism on First Nations people and the economic and racial motivations behind policies that aimed to maintain a white majority. The discussion highlights how these historical practices continue to influence modern Australia, from cultural symbols to ongoing debates about race and belonging.

    How did we get to the White Australia policy in the first place? In Episode 2 of Australia Fair, host Janak Rogers dives into the long and turbulent history of Australia’s relationship with China. From today’s sensational media coverage stoking fears of Chinese invasion to the discriminatory fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic, the episode explores how these issues intersect with Australia's historical prejudices and contemporary anxieties. We delve into the dark legacy of anti-Chinese sentiment from the Gold Rush era, tracing its influence on policies like the White Australia policy and its modern manifestations. Featuring interviews with filmmaker Corrie Chen, historians Natalie Fong and Anna Kyi and more, Janak tries to upack the complex relationship between Australia and China, and reflect on the historical roots that continue to shape our nation's approach to race and immigration.
