You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.199.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 12:56, 12 May 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Mauritian Australians''' are [[Australians]] of [[Mauritians|Mauritian]] descent, or who were born in [[Mauritius]].

The Census in 2011 recorded 23 280 Mauritius-born people in Australia, an increase of 28.1 percent from the 2006 Census.

The 2011 distribution by state and territory showed Victoria had the largest number with 11 600 followed by New South Wales (5752), Western Australia (3932) and Queensland (1476).<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.dss.gov.au/sites/default/files/documents/02_2014/mauritius.pdf|title=Australian Government -Department of Immigration and Citizenship -Community Information Summary 2014))</ref>

Mauritians are a rapidly growing migrant group having increased steadily over the past 30 years.((citation needed|date=December 2015))

==History==
Based on the trading relationship between [[Mauritius]] and Australia which was established in 1803, the first [[Mauritians|Mauritian]] migrants arrived in Australia before the 1901 [[Federation of Australia|federation]] as [[Convicts in Australia|convicts]], [[Fossicking|fossickers]] during the [[Victorian gold rush|gold rush]], or ''sugar men'' who were skilled sugarcane workers who helped to develop [[Queensland]]'s [[sugar industry]].<ref>((cite web |last1=Scroope |first1=Chara |title=Mauritians in Australia |url=https://culturalatlas.sbs.com.au/mauritian-culture/mauritian-culture-mauritians-in-australia |website=www.sbs.com.au |publisher=Special Broadcasting Service (SBS) |access-date=2017-08-09))</ref>

Right after [[World War II]] the migration of Mauritians to Australia resumed, but was restricted to the privileged minority of white [[Franco-Mauritians]] due to the [[White Australia policy]] which prevailed until 1973. Especially in the years leading to the 1968 [[Independence of Mauritius]] there was a significant increase in the number of [[Franco-Mauritians]], [[Mulatto]], and [[Mauritian Creoles]] who migrated permanently to Australia as a result of the anti-Hindu hegemony fear campaign which was financed by the white [[Franco-Mauritian]] owners of sugar estates and implemented by [[Gaetan Duval]]'s [[Parti Mauricien Social Démocrate]] and the local press. Indeed a climate of fear and uncertainty resulted from the fear campaign which resulted in lynching, murders and racial riots which broke out in [[1965 Mauritius race riots|1965]], [[1967 Port Louis riots|1967]], and [[1968 Mauritian riots|1968]]. <ref name="immi.gov.au">((cite web|url=http://www.dss.gov.au/sites/default/files/documents/02_2014/mauritius.pdf|title=Community Information Summary: Mauritius-born|work=Australian Government Department of Immigration and Citizenship|date=February 2014|access-date=23 October 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161023201559/https://www.dss.gov.au/sites/default/files/documents/02_2014/mauritius.pdf|archive-date=23 October 2016|url-status=dead))</ref><ref>((cite web |title=Publication: Eric Bahloo, l’affaire Azor Adelaïde |url=https://www.lemauricien.com/actualites/magazine/publicationeric-bahloo-laffaire-azor-adela%C3%AFde/133939/ |publisher=Le Mauricien |access-date=2011-11-20))</ref><ref>((cite web |last1=Scroope |first1=Chara |title=Mauritians in Australia |url=https://culturalatlas.sbs.com.au/mauritian-culture/mauritian-culture-mauritians-in-australia |website=www.sbs.com.au |publisher=Special Broadcasting Service (SBS) |access-date=2017-08-09))</ref>

==Cultural background==
As Mauritius is a country with a [[Multiculturalism|multicultural]] and [[multiethnic society]], Mauritians have different and diverse ethnic backgrounds. However, in the 2011 Census most Mauritius-born people living in Australia reported being of Mauritian descent (13,651), followed by those of French (4,536) and [[Chinese people|Chinese]] descent (2,057).((cn|date=April 2023))

Base on ethnic lines, [[Mauritian Creoles|Creole Mauritians]] (Black and mixed-race) represent 50% of the community in Australia, this group were largest numbers leaving Mauritius after independence from colonial rule (Britain, and previously, France) in 1968. [[Mauritians of Chinese origin|Chinese-Mauritians]] make up 7%, arriving mostly during the 80s and 90s, those of [[Mauritians of Indian origin|Indian]] ancestry are 20-25% and Creoles of African ancestry 20-25%.                    
Most of the Afro-Mauritians and Indians have arrived after the 2000s, and are the fastest growing part of the community.
Mauritian-Australians have a growing presence in Australian popular culture, including in music, literature, and television.<ref>((cite news|first=Bridget|last=Cormack|url=http://www.theaustralian.com.au/arts/a-real-actor/story-e6frg8n6-1226134318402|title=A real actor|publisher=The Australian|date=17 September 2011|access-date=23 October 2016))</ref> Aisha in ''[[The Slap (Australian TV series)|The Slap]]'' is a notable example, identified in the TV series adaptation as 'Mauritian-Australian'.<ref>((cite web|url=http://meanjin.com.au/blog/post/q-a-with-christos-tsiolkas-about-the-the-slap-television-series/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131004003606/http://meanjin.com.au/blog/post/q-a-with-christos-tsiolkas-about-the-the-slap-television-series/|url-status=dead|archive-date=2013-10-04|title=Q & A with Christos Tsiolkas about the ((sic|hide=y|reason=double 'the' error in source)) "The Slap" television series|publisher=[[Meanjin]]))</ref> [[Havana Brown (musician)|Havana Brown]] is a significant Australian musician of Mauritian background.

==Language==
The main languages spoken by Mauritius-born people in Australia were French (12,545), [[English language|English]] (5,665) and [[Mauritian creole|Mauritian]] (2,654).<ref name="Mauritian Australians"/> Note that Australia has a large French-speaking Mauritian community in relation to percentage of the overall Mauritian community, they represent 1.4% of the Mauritian community, although numbers would be much higher, but most of the second generation speak English. The French speakers using the language as mother tongue represent the white [[Franco-Mauritians]], [[Mulattos]] and [[Free people of color|''gens de couleur'']] (mixed-race Creoles) ethnic groups, making up at least 50% of the Mauritian community in Australia. In comparison, in Mauritius 4.1% of the population speaks French as a first language (mother tongue) with 68.6% using French as a second language making a total of 72.7%<ref>((Cite book|title=La francophonie dans le monde 2006-2007|last=Collectif|date=2007-03-22|publisher=Nathan|isbn=9782098821774|edition=édition 2006-2007|location=Paris))</ref> French speakers.
