How SBS made up our “racist” past
John Izzard on yet more fabricating of our “racist” past, this time by SBS:
One of the most chilling images in the recent SBS television series Immigration Nation: The Secret History of Us is the footage in the opening sequences of the first episode showing an Australian soldier dragging an Asian man towards a ship so he could be deported.
Other scenes showed Asian women and children in distress. The scenes, though brief, are shocking. They portray a barbaric Australian attitude towards Asian people.
The accompanying narration was about the White Australia policy. It appeared to confirm the inhumanity of Australian treatment of Chinese and Japanese people living in this country between 1901 and 1975. The distinct implication of images and script was that these people were being deported as part of the White Australia policy.
However, SBS and the producers of this three-part series deceived their viewers. The scenes had nothing to do with the White Australia policy, nor with immigration, nor even with Australia’s attitude to Asian people living in this country. They were images taken from old newsreel footage, film actually shot in 1946 of Japanese prisoners-of-war and Chinese refugees (some originally from the Japanese-held island of Formosa) being sent home. The Japanese had been interned in wartime camps in New South Wales and Victoria, while some Chinese detainees had been living and working freely in the Australian community.
Following Japan’s invasion of South-East Asian countries in 1941, about 6000 Chinese refugees had been accepted by Australia on condition they returned home when hostilities ceased. About 5500 freely agreed to return, while 500 refused to leave. The deception by SBS was to twist a wartime act of humanity by Australia into a so-called act of colour prejudice under the White Australia policy. It was nothing of the sort.
