Appendix 2: Popularity of the White Australia Policy

Title: The White Australia Game registered in 1914 and sold to the public. Advertised by “A New Australian Game for New and Old Australian People”.

Analysis: This reflects the racist attitudes of many Australians under the White Australia policy. This provides proof that Hughes’s actions in Paris were not only representative of his long-standing racist beliefs but representative of the values of the predominantly white Australia. This evidence provides weight to the domestic motivation for Hughes’s actions in Paris. Source: Maher, Louise. 2014.
