    The biggest lie of modern Australia is that the White Australia policy was repealed in the 70’s. It still exists, it’s just unofficial now.

    My (Chinese) wife and I were married for a decade and had 3 kids together before she applied for a visa to live in Australia. It took over 6 months, we had to provide photos of us together at different times in our relationship and statutory declarations by 2 citizens we’re not related to confirming we were in a genuine relationship.

    My younger brother married an American and her visa was granted before the wedding.

    I guarantee the guy in this article wasn’t just British, he’s also white, and that makes all the difference.

      I provided a statutory declaration affirming to whoever needed to read it that my friend and her English fiancée were a real couple; as well as photos I had taken of them at bbqs, concerts and zoo trips etc over the years as he was applying for permanent residency in Australia. What you are describing is a thing all immigrants go through - the white ones as well.

      You might want to have a look at the number of Indians and Chinese that we’re bringing in to Australia every day mate. There is no “white Australia” policy.
