Annie O'Keefe was a Dutch subject born in the Netherlands East Indies and one of 15,000 people who were evacuated to Australia from nearby countries during World War II and given sanctuary. She arrived in Australia in September 1942 and settled in the outer Melbourne community of Bonbeach. She married an Australian, believing that the marriage would also allow her remain, but the government issued a deportation order for Annie and the children in January 1949. Public support allowed her to challenge the deportation order.The High Court ruled in favour of O'Keefe.
