Abstract
This article will explore the ways in which ambivalence around immigration was revealed through more conditional regulation of white and non-white immigration and through narratives of deportation involving romance and children. Using textual analysis of newspapers and political discourse—tropes of normative heterosexuality— happy couples and mothers with children reveal themselves as apparent contradictions to otherwise dehumanising imagery and discourses of illegality, while still cementing the regulation of “Australianness” through equally conditional means.
