Answer 3

The really big issue in Australia in the 1930's was the 'White Australia' policy. Immigration from the British Isles and other 'preferred' countries was actively encouraged whilst immigration from Asian or African countries was virtually impossible.

Efforts by white settlers to reduce the Aboriginal population had been going on since original colonisation but during the 1930's a big drive was made by the Australian government to prevent integration and inter-marriage between  the Aboriginal and immigrant populations.
