%X The term ‘boat people’ entered the  Australian vernacular in the 1970s with the arrival of the first wave of  boats carrying people seeking asylum from the aftermath of the Vietnam  War. Over half the Vietnamese population was displaced in these years  and, while most fled to neighbouring Asian countries, some embarked on  the voyage by boat to Australia.
