It didn't help that beginning in 1901, the Australian government enacted a policy that would artificially reduce their numbers of immigrants to the continent for decades, the racist white Australia policy.

从 1901 年开始，澳大利亚政府颁布了一项政策，即种族主义的“白澳政策”，几十年来人为地减少了澳大利亚大陆的移民数量，这对人口增长毫无助益。

It wasn't until 1973, nearly three decades after the end of world war ii that the white Australia policy was finally overturned and race ceased being a factor in the continent's immigration policy.

直到 1973 年，即第二次世界大战结束近三十年后，澳大利亚的白人政策才最终被推翻，种族不再是澳大利亚大陆移民政策中的一个因素。
