One Australia Policy

One Australia Policy

One Australia was the immigration and ethnic affairs policy of the Liberal-National opposition in Australia, released in 1988. The One Australia policy proclaimed a vision of "one nation and one future". It called for an end to multiculturalism and opposed a treaty with Aboriginal Australians.

The policy set the scene for the August 1988 suggestion by John Howard that the rate of Asian immigration to Australia be reduced.
