This article discusses the racial policy of former Australian Prime Minister John Howard, both in opposition and government, from 1980 to 2007.
1981
When the South African Springboks rugby team embarked on their controversial 1981 tour of New Zealand, John Howard as Treasurer of Australia voiced his opposition to the Fraser government's ban stopping the Springbok's aircraft refuelling on Australian territory.
1985
As deputy leader of the opposition, John Howard opposed the use of sanctions against the apartheid regime in South Africa.
On 1 August, 1988, during an interview on the John Laws radio programme, Howard flagged his One Australia policy on multiculturalism, and expressed his wish to bias immigration intake towards skilled applicants rather than family reunion.
Howard's Shadow Finance Minister, John Stone, elaborated by saying: "Asian immigration has to be slowed. It's no use dancing around the bushes."
Howard's stance on Asian immigration received widespread criticism from within his own party, including criticism from Victorian Premier Jeff Kennett, New South Wales Premier Nick Greiner, former Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser, as well as former immigration ministers Ian Macphee and Michael MacKellar.
In an unusual show of dissent, three Liberal MPs, Ian Macphee, Steele Hall and Phillip Ruddock, defied their leader by crossing the floor and voting with the Labor government.
Criticising his leader's policy, Liberal MP Steele Hall said in a speech to Parliament:
"The question has quickly descended from a discussion about the future migrant intake to one about the level of internal racial tolerance. The simple fact is that public opinion is easily led on racial issues. It is now time to unite the community on the race issue before it flares into an ugly reproach for us all."
The policy detailed a vision of "one nation and one future", which included the rejection of Aboriginal land rights, . The title "One Australia" was a term personally chosen by Howard.
2001
During the 2001 election campaign, Howard used the slogan:
"We will decide who comes to this country and the circumstances in which they come."
Pauline Hanson said of Howard: "It has been widely recognised by all, including the media, that John Howard sailed home on One Nation policies. In short, if we were not around, John Howard would not have made the decisions he did."
2002
Howard admitted his 1988 statements about Asian immigration had been wrong. In May 2002, he said:
"My instinct is that Asian-Australians are very much part of the community now. I think it (their integration) has been quicker. I just don't hear people talking about it now, even as much as they did five years ago, and I have an electorate which is very Asian."

The Apache Java Enterprise Mail Server (also known as Apache James) is a 100% pure Java SMTP and POP3 Mail server and NNTP News server. The James Project of the Apache Software Foundation has designed James to be a complete and portable enterprise mail engine solution based on currently available open protocols.
James is also a mail application platform. Apache has developed a Java application programming interface (API) to let programmers write Java code to process email called the Mailet API. A Mailet can be used to route, process and/or transform messages or to invoke other system functionality. Common examples might be to generate an automatic reply, update a database, prevent spam, or build a message archive. A matcher is used to compare a message with a condition and determines whether the associated Mailet should process the email. Many pairs of mailets and matchers can be combined in a Processor chain to produce sophisticated and complex functional behaviour. The James project hosts the Mailet API, and James provides an implementation of this mail application platform API.
James is deployed in an application framework container. James is distributed, ready to use, with the Apache Avalon Phoenix container for the Apache Avalon application framework, formerly products of the Apache Avalon project.
James was formerly a sub-project of the Apache Jakarta Project.

Nomadic Sun is an American folktronica band, founded in 2001 by Kevin Burke in New Orleans, Louisiana. Burke is Nomadic Sun's sole producer, singer, and songwriter, and thereby the group's only official member. Originally named "Kevin Burke," Burke changed the name to, first, Kevyn Burke, then settled upon Nomadic Sun to avoid confusion with Irish fiddler Kevin Burke. On stage, Nomadic Sun often features original visual elements, guest musicians, and custom-built musical instruments.
History
Early years
As a high-school student in Mandeville, Louisiana, Kevin Burke played guitar in bands with his friends, covering songs by alternative rock bands such as Rage Against the Machine, Helmet, The Flaming Lips and 311. Impassioned by the musical experience, Burke chose to study communications at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana so he could direct music videos and work for the college radio station, KLSU. Despite his many attempts to start a band while attending university, Burke was unable to find the right musicians for creating the sound he was seeking. As a DJ for KLSU, he began working with the sound-editing tools that would introduce him to the role of producer in his own music. Following graduation from college, Burke moved to Los Angeles and worked as a production assistant on the sets of major label artists' music videos. Through this experience came an opportunity to serve as personal assistant to music video director, , and to acquaint Burke with the video production methods of Hollywood. Uninspired by his role in the production world, Burke moved north the following year to San Francisco, California where he found work as a DJ for the alternative rock radio station, Live 105. San Francisco would serve as Burke's admission to the world of electronic music; as a resident of the Lower Haight, Burke made frequent stops by the electronic music store, , to learn more about electronic music production, MIDI, and to purchase equipment. The city's proliferation of electronic music artists incited Burke's exploration of the genre and how to connect it to the musical instruments he played. Within a year, Burke self-released his first demo EP of original music, as singer, pianist, and guitarist. With his new album finished, he returned to New Orleans and began playing shows.
Nomadic Sun
Written, arranged, and performed by Kevin Burke, Nomadic Sun's first full-length album debuted on December 23, 2007 and was the first release of Burke's independent label, The Shack Records. The album forges acoustic and electronic elements to address emotional issues such as spirituality, family, the pursuit of dreams, and heartbreak.
The album's recording was interrupted by Hurricane Katrina, after which Burke relocated to Paris, France, then New York City for the album's mastering and manufacturing.
