In the past, Australia followed a blatant White Australia Policy, designed mainly to exclude Chinese. But perhaps few people in Taiwan know that apart from the indigenous Maoris, New Zealand too always had a predominantly British immigrant population. Most old families still look down on Australians who they see as the descendants of convicts, lacking New Zealanders 'refinement.
過去「白澳政策」惡名昭彰，卻少有國人知道，紐西蘭除了毛利人，也一直是個以英國人為主的移民國家；一般老家族還很看不起澳洲，認為他們是罪犯的後裔，不如紐西蘭「國格清高」。
