3 Letter from a Tsuda Student…
WEATHER The temperature reaches over 20℃ every day here on the Gold Coast and last week, it was 33℃!! It’s hotter than in Japan even if it’s winter here… The biggest cause is global warming, you know, and the coral reefs are dying in many places. Great Barrier Reef is no exception, but the interest in environment is high here, and we can see many programmes about pollution or waste on TV. e.g. “War on Waste” (ABC)

5 Letter from a Tsuda Student…
INDIGENOUS PEOPLE Anzac Day was very big, and many people attended it, but there was nothing big on National Sorry Day/Aboriginal Week. Like my host mother, many local people have the recognition that Australia is not their own land, but it seems that Aborigine is separated from everyday life They partially respect indigenous culture; for example, when a famous Aboriginal singer died, the news reported it with his picture with mosaic mask and without name, but there is distance between “Australians” and Aborigines.

6 Letter from a Tsuda Student…
IMMIGRANTS Most of the students in the EAP (English for Academic Purposes) programme are from China (70%) followed by India. They study to get a VISA, and most of them are applying for construction because it’s the easiest to get Some locals are concerned about the growing population, especially limits on water supply and habitable land (housing). My teacher pays AU$600 (\50,000) for 2 people for 3 months. My agency advised me to have 5 minute shower in my home stay…

Indian activists of National Akali Dal hold an image of Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd as they shout slogans against racial attacks on Indians in Australia during a protest in New Delhi on January 17. Australia's foreign minister told parliament some of the recent violence against Indian students had clearly been racially motivated and had "considerably damaged" the nation's reputation. (January 17th 2010)

11 R.D. in Australia: Now Aborigines (e.g. intervention policy)
Racial Discrimination Act suspended 07-10 Aborigines (e.g. intervention policy) N.B. legally have same rights… Asians: racist violence (e.g….) Anti-Japanese/Chinese feeling barred entry to nightclubs/pubs, ‘Jap’ 　whaling… ‘One Nation’ Party (Pauline Hanson) (X White Australia policy) Cronulla Beach Riots (Sydney) Quite a few people assumed that because Australia was multicultural there was NO racism today!!

26 “The International is personal”
Japan-Australia Relations (II) “The International is personal”

27 This book tells the story of Michi, one of 650 Japanese war brides who arrived in Australia in the early 1950s. The women met Australian servicemen in post-war Japan and decided to migrate to Australia as wives and fiancées to start a new life. In 1953, when Michi reached Sydney Harbour by boat with her two Japanese-born children, she knew only one person in Australia: her husband. She did not know any English so she quickly learned her first English phrase, "I like Australia", in the car on the way from the harbour to meet her Australian family. In the last fifty years, she brought up seven children while the family moved from one part of Australia to another. Now, in her eighties, she leads a peaceful life in Adelaide, but remains active in many ways. Her voice is full of life and she looks and sounds much younger than her age. ７３人未読!!!

33 “while relatives remain of the men who suffered at the hands of the Japanese, it would be the grossest act of public indecency to permit a Japanese of either sex to pollute (汚染) Australian or Australian-controlled shores” Arthur Calwell, Minister of Immigration (1948)

44 Reaction to ‘War-Brides’
‘The decision [to accept Japanese war brides] is shameful and disgraceful…the government has forgotten the feelings of mothers, wives, and sisters of the men butchered by the Japanese’ Arthur Calwell, Melbourne Herald April

45

46 Reaction to War-Brides
Discrimination called ‘Jap’, refused entry/service in shops… though often women seen as ‘victims’; hostility reserved mainly for Japanese men Idea of ‘White Australia’ still widely accepted Immigration restrictions on non-Europeans Assimilation (同化) expectations strong… Become ‘Australian’, throw away Japan Easy to crticise assimilationist views as narrow-minded from today’s multi-culturalist perspective, but in the 1950s assimilation – learning to behave in the same way as the majority - was regarded as essential
