Is anyone familiar with the (illigal?) Child Migration Scheme from Britain to Australia?

answers1: Hello Bebz!!! I don't know of any illegal child migration
scheme. There was a child migration scheme from Britain to Australia
that was sanctioned by both governments. I think that both governments
e.g. the House of Commons and the House of Lords in London and the
Federal House of Representatives and the Federal Senate in Australia
passed legislation enabling it so it was not illegal. <br>
<br>
I think that the first laws enabling it were passed here in 1946. This
is from an Australia Senate paper on the Child Migration Scheme <br>

Murdoch University Information - should be very good as a lot of the
child immigrant went to Western Australia and therefore a lot of
investigation was done there. <br>

David Hill was a child migrant who has been very successful. He has
written an excellent book on his experience as a child migrant growing
up in Australia. <br>

This is about all the relevant information that I can dig up. However,
it was not illegal even if the ethics of doing it was somewhat
dubious. <br>

Good Luck with your visual arts major work. <br>
