5. POST WW2 IMMIGRATION TO AUSTRALIA
Between 1947 and 1982, over a million Britons emigrated to Australia
The majority of these migrants travelled under the ten pound assisted passage scheme funded by the British and Australian governments.
Encouraged as part of Australia's 'populate or perish' nation- building initiative, which emerged in the aftermath of World War II
The scheme allowed for affordable travel to Australia, with the cost of an adult ticket a mere £10, and all children traveling for free by the 1960s 
220 pounds which would be equivalent to about 398$
How much would this be today? (in dollar amount)

7. Populate or Perish Immigration Scheme 1945
Led by Immigration Minister Arthur Calwell
Sought to overcome resistance to immigration after WW2
Key to boosting Australia’s economic interests
Also necessary to boost population for military safety in the event of future wars – during WW2 Australia had been on the verge of invasion from Japan
Focused on British people but also saw some refugees and displaced people from Eastern Europe
