title: International migration to and from Australia.
abstract: Australia's immigration policies during the past 30 years are reviewed, with a focus on the change "from an earlier emphasis on economic and population growth to an emphasis on humanitarian considerations such as family reunion and refugee resettlement."  Socioeconomic and demographic effects of the country's policy of nondiscrimination are considered, and possible future changes in immigration patterns are projected.
