Which statement is NOT true about postwar Australian immigration?

There was an increase in immigration from war-torn Europe after WWII.

The White Australia Policy was abolished in 1966.

No non-European migrants arrived after 1966.

The key idea is that Australian immigration after World War II moved from being overwhelmingly European to becoming more diverse, as policy restrictions were loosened in the 1960s and beyond.

After the war there was indeed a large influx from war-torn Europe, including Southern Europeans like Italians and Greeks. The White Australia Policy did not vanish overnight, but reforms from the mid-1960s began removing the main barriers to non-European migration, and by the late 1960s and into the 1970s Australia accepted migrants from Asia and other non-European regions. So there were many non-European arrivals after 1966, including refugees and skilled migrants, which makes the statement about there being no such migrants after 1966 incorrect.

Migration after WWII included Southern Europeans such as Italians and Greeks.
