Aussies are quick to call ourselves a 'great multicultural success story', but is this the case? How did Australian immigration policy shape our country, and is the story we tell ourselves anything close to the truth? In this episode we explore the history of immigration law in Australia from Federation, ending in the early 1990's. Part two will pick up in the early days of the 21st century.

Welcome to 2 Girls 1 Garbage Can, The Auspol podcast that attempts to explain the trash fire state of modern political discourse by giving it some much needed historical context and a giant dose of irreverent humour.
