The
Aborigines Protection Act is passed in NSW. The Board for the Protection of
Aborigines has the power to “exercise a general supervision and care over all
Aborigines and over the interests and welfare of Aborigines … and to protect
them against injustice, imposition and fraud”. The Protection Act gives the
Board great powers to control the private lives of Aborigines. For example the
Board may order any Aboriginal into or out of any Reserve at its own
discretion. The powers to remove children are codified and strengthened, and
the Board becomes an instrument of persecution of Guringai, and other NSW
Koories, for the next 60 years.
