and had influenced him to come to Australia."
The National Archives of Australia holds a copy of this poster
and includes the following information on its website: "'I
want 20,000,000 people in Australia and I want them in my lifetime.'
So said Arthur Calwell, Minister for Immigration, in 1948. A
rapid increase in population was vital to the success of Australia's
postwar plans for defence and economic development. For the first
time, the Australian Government looked beyond Britain [to Europe]
for the people who would be 'tomorrow's Australians'."
