Immigration from South Africa to Australia, particularly by professionals, accelerated in the 1990s. More than half of the South African Australians arrived following the election ofNelson Mandela in 1994.[8] A behaviour stigmatised bywhite South Africans who remained in their homeland as "Packing for Perth" ("PFP") was also a humorous dig and reference to supporters of theProgressive Federal Party – a political party formed in 1977 that drew support mainly from liberal English-speaking white people.[9] As per 2021 census, 60% of Australians who are born inSouth Africa, claimedEnglish,Dutch,German andScottish ancestry, while only 40% claimed "South African" as an ancestry.
