“I remembered the aborigine (sic) and the white sailor which were the supporters of the arms of the city of Sydney, so to make a parallel case I replaced the left hand black swan of the Canberra arms by a white one, and the idea was complete.” Wylie, Royal Aust Hist J, XVI (1930)
In the article historian David Heardon said Wylie was a fan of the White Australia policy and that Wylie had said this is what the swan stood for.
