receiving social benefits, which they regard as a last resort. Generally speaking, the gratefulness felt toward Australia embedded in every Indochinese person and their offspring forms the major encouragement to conform to the code of good citizens. For as Mr Thaddeus Aloytus, Phong Nguyen, in Victoria stressed, "ungratefulness is the most shameful thing, so all favors must be returned". As in their home countries, almost all Indochinese respondents said they want to be good to Australia, the country which gives them a house, food to eat, and educates their children. This has been noted in the Fairfield Advance where a survey revealed that ninety-nine pet cent of, for example, Vietnamese migrants in Cabramatta were law-abiding citizens. Besides this general feeling, other immediate reasons cogently urge them to keep away from any violation of the law, even the most benign. Reasons collected from the survey are related to the necessity of keeping welfare benefits, the desire to have applications for citizenship approved, or the desire to sponsor relatives. This was already noted by Guilliat in the 1980s.
