Big Brother Movement

Big Brother Movement

The Big Brother Movement is a generic term used to describe the unofficial migration policy of Australia prior to and during the interbellum period, before the time it was superseded by the call to populate or perish. It aimed to bring to the country youths from Great Britain to work on farms or in the Australian outback, in line with the government maxim on maintaining a stable level of population. According to a recently published book on the subject, the so-called Little Brother immigrant was "assigned to a Big Brother, resident citizen for advice, solace and companionship" within the framework of the "patrie".
