A friend (white American) once told me that while blacks may visit Australia as tourists, blacks may not become Australian citizens (per Australian law). Is this currently true? If not, was it ever true?

I just checked. there is nothing in the eligibility criteria that indicates race is an issue. Of course, until a black person is denied citizenship and the media picks up the story...who realy knows. Except the Australian Gorvernment.

I have black friends who are Australian - migrated from Africa . There is also a strong Australian arab community - They are full citizens now. Not sure where your friend heard the 'rumour'.

Yes! Not just blacks either. True it is no longer their policy but up until the early 70 s it was. Look it up.

Your friend is ignorant my uncle met his wife in California and she is Australian my uncles African American and they moved to Austraia and now he is a dual citizen and they have three biracial children and they too are dual citizens. So tell your friend to go educate himself because he is a fool.

If it was i wouldn't be surprised at all. They forced the blacks that were native to the land out into the wilderness so they damn sure don't want any blacks that aren't native to live there.

Well, I'm white but you'd swear I pass.
How do you know the difference, for real?

I've never heard that and I doubt that it's true.
