Australian Born Chinese.
The children' of Chinese born in Australia are permitted to remals in, Australia indefinitely. If they are taken out of the Commonwealth by their parents, no objection le raised to their returning to Australia at any time without restriction. If their true home is in Australia. This is the effect to the judgment of the High Court on this question. Irrespective however, of whether Australin is the actual home of an Australian born Chinese, facilities are given for such jierrons to roturn to Australia within a period of ten years, or longer, in honn fide cases.
