1947 Chifley new migrants

As part of the post-war reconstruction the Chifley government implemented a significant immigration program which saw the arrival of thousands of new migrants. This policy was administered by future Labor leader Arthur Calwell who is also pictured. Under this program hundreds of thousands of Displaced People and British subjects migrated to Australia.
