Yes, it was Harold Holt, not Menzies. It was Harold Holt who felt that perhaps we should relax our ‘immigration restriction policy’, as it came to be known, to permit a small quota of Asians and coloured people. Of course, that has grown into the non-discriminatory immigration policy that we have today.

Question agreed to.
