  • Australia (1962)
    Australia' D'URIN, G the period under review (July 1960 to June 1961) the Liberal and Country coalition government, under Prime Minister Robert G. Menzies, adopted policies designed to check the boom of the previous year. The lifting of import controls, tight money, and reduced prices for primary products combined to slow business activity, and there was significant un- employment for the first time since World War II. Controversy developed over the immigration program. JEWISH COMMUNITY Australia's population exceeded ten million, the exact figure awaiting the publication of the census of 1961. The Jewish population, previously esti- mated at 67,000, was increased by some 1,200 immigrants from Europe dur- ing the year and by an unknown natural increase. Most Jews lived in Mel- bourne, Victoria (32,000), and Sydney, New South Wales (30,000). There were also 1,750 in Brisbane, Queensland; 1,300 in Adelaide, South Australia; 3,000 in Perth, Western Australia; 100 in Canberra, Australian Capital Ter- ritory; 100 in Hobart and Launceston, Tasmania, and a few in other provincial centers. As in previous years, Jewish immigrants came principally from Poland, Israel, Rumania, and Hungary. Some Jews began to arrive from South Africa, but since they were economically independent and required no visas, their number was not known. Community Organization and Activity For the basic structure of the Jewish community see AJYB, 1961 (Vol. 62), pp. 372-73. CJMCAG provided a total of A£115,650f of which about A£98,150 went for social services and A £.17,500 for education. Relief for immigrants and other major social services were handled by welfare societies in each state, united in the Australian Federation of Jewish Welfare Societies.
