Which of the following does not characterize Australia and New Zealand’s immigration policies today?

a. preference for white Britishers

b. preference for West Europeans and white Anglo-Americans

c. preference for nonwhites with special skills

d. preference for nonwhites of Asian extraction

This was a question on my girlfriend’s Geography quiz that really had me stumped. It asks which does NOT characterize their immigration policies. Is there an obvious answer that I’m missing here?

The correct answer for both countries is:

e. All of the above.

Neither country gives any race or origin based preference to anyone. Visa applicants are accepted purely on the basis of their skills and the need in that country for those skills.

If the correct answer according to your quiz is ‘d’, then there’s something seriously wrong with the knowledge and expertise of whoever set the quiz. ‘d’ is categorically and emphatically WRONG! Australia and New Zealand have 100% zero preference immigration policies and if non whites of Asian extraction form the largest % of immigrants, the ONLY reason is that they comprise the majority of eligible applicants.
See Page 6 of the following official migration statistics. The fact that large numbers of Asians are included is purely a reflection of Australia’s physical location in the world – deliberate preference has nothing to do with it:
