There’s valuable information recorded in Chinese on Tasmania’s old Chinese headstones that is gradually disappearing, like on Claude Nam Shing’s headstone in Cornelian Bay Cemetery. I’ve worked out some of the characters, but not all of them. Any thoughts, clever people? 🗃️ #EverdayHeritage

There were Jewish quotas. There were interviews so that immigration officers could make sure that no Jews were included in the 170,000 DPs. "The Holocaust" was not yet a thing.

My contribution to the Whitlam discourse is that, in my research around leftist allegations against Croatians & ASIO, Jim Cairns could generously be termed naive and/or not someone who needed hard evidence in order to agree in principle to firebombing people's homes.
