AB  - This background  note presents excerpts of parliamentary speeches relating to Australian  immigration policies between 1901 and World War One.
It is the first in  a series of Parliamentary Library publications that plan to address  major immigration debates in Australian history. The purpose of this  paper is to outline the views of senators and members, the vast majority  of whom were in favour of a white Australia. It is apparent from  Hansard that immigration remained a contentious issue for successive  Australian Parliaments.
