===White Australia===
White Australia was the policy adopted in 1901 to limit immigration to Europeans (especially British), and stop immigration from Asia. Thousands of Polynesians were deprted in the process.
===Progress===
The mood in Australia resembled the [[Progressive Movement]] in the United States. There was much discussion about how to reform society and government, often using the new social science ideas imported from Btitish liberalism, social imperialism and American progressivism.<ref> Judith Smart quoted in Gerhard Fischer, 'Negative Integration' and an Australian Road to Modernity: Interpreting The Australian Homefront Experience In World War I," ''Australian Historical Studies'' 1995 26(104): 452-476</ref>
