i Information Point.
The
phrase 'Ten Pound Poms' is used to describe the Britons who emigrated to
Australia following World War 2 on the Australian government's assisted passage
scheme. The purpose of this scheme was to enlarge Australia's population whilst
supplying workers for the country's growing economy and industry.
Britons
were offered a way out of the rationing and deprivation of post-war life, shown
visions of glorious sunshine and boundless possibility by a government
desperate for an influx of labour.
They
were offered the dramatically reduced fee for their passage only on the
condition that they stay in Australia for a minimum of two years, or pay the
full £120 fare back. This fee was prohibitively expensive for most.
