This woman was Kristen Silverberg herself. The woman of tight lips. The "I can't help you with your story" woman. The queen...
...tenuous. Canberra discarded its whites-only immigration policy in 1976, but decades of Australian xenophobia linger in Asian memories. On Hong Kong and Malaysian television, Australia is often portrayed as a racist country. Australians, on the other hand, are still prey to what Governor-General Bill Hayden, the Queen's representative in the federal government, recently called "Orientalist fantasies," timeworn images of exotic, erotic and despotic Asians.
