Australia
Seychelles families have been migrating to Australia for as long as the white Mauritian migration to Australia, and for the same reasons.
After the independence of East Africa and Rhodesia, a number of Seychelles families were compelled to leave those countries and migrate to Australia to seek livelihoods and stability.
The second most important wave of migration, exile took place after the 5 June 1977 coup d'état and the abolition of multiparty democracy. Since 1991 and the establishment of the Third Republic, a number of Seychelles individuals have been migrating to Australia for economic, educational, vocational and political reason.
It is estimated there are some 12,000 Seychelles nationals settled in Australia.

—Alex Atkinson, British humor writer. repr. In Present Laughter, ed. Alan Coren (1982)
“I like Australia less and less. The hateful newness, the democratic conceit, every man a little pope of perfection.”
