Did German migrants come to Australia after World War 2?
Yes, there were many displaced Germans as a result of the war that had to resettle throughout the world. Australia was a part of this as it also had a major imigration program after WWII under the Chifley government. There was a lot of pressure from other major powers for Australia to take and resettle displaced persons from eastern Europe as they were to be excluded under the "White Australia Policy" which was set in place at the very beginning of Australia's federation in 1901. The policy's aim was to only take British migrants. This policy was only removed during Gough Whitlam's time in power during the 1970s.

Italian immigration to Australia?
Australia needs Italian immigrants due to the lack of labor, particularly in the agricultural industry. The Australians came to respect the Italian migrants as they were hard workers and could cope with working in Australia's hot climate. They also came to realize the positive effect their arrival in Australia was doing for our economy. the majority of Italian migrants came to Australia after world war II. Living conditions in Italy were poor for most. Australia soon became a popular option for Italians as the US now had restrictions on allowing Italian immigrants into the country. These restrictions tightened till they allowed virtually no Italian immigrants into the country, in contrast to the 2 million that were allowed in before the war. As a result of this, many Italians were redirected to Australia. Only encouraged by the news of the high living conditions and mountains of opportunities available in this young country. Although many of these rumors were exaggerated, living conditions in Australia were undoubtedly better than those in Italy, and the majority of migrants did not regret their arrival in Australia. Most of who stayed in Australia and eventually acquired land. Italian migrants played a big part in the growth of Australia. They provided us with sorely need labor in the post war period and gained a new respect from the Australian public. This resulted in many migrants being naturalized, and continuing to build a future in Australia.
