Palestinians remain, however, one of the most invisible of all ethnic communities. The Australian government’s original refusal to allow "Palestine" as birthplace on official documents and its refusal to accommodate Palestinian refugees under any special entry programs - forcing many to adopt Jordan and Lebanon as points of origin - has accelerated their general fade from view.

Many Palestinians feel that even in Australia they are subject to various forms of discrimination - ethnic, religious and political - once experienced in their homeland. This has led in many cases to withdrawal from the community so as to avoid political confrontation or declaration of ethnic origins. Research by Christine Asmar has concluded that the Palestinian community may be reluctant to fully identify with their adopted country because of dissatisfaction with Australia’s official line of the Palestinian issue - the end result being a sense of continuing alienation and exile.
