Abstract | [Extract] The Second World War offered new opportunities for many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians, but the coming of peace represented a return to the status quo of inequality. Assimilation policies became standard practice across all states and territories. Child removal continued and even accelerated, as state Aboriginal welfare boards (renamed from their earlier incarnations as protection boards) adopted policies reflecting the resolution of the 1951 Native Welfare Conference of Commonwealth and state authorities: ‘Assimilation means, in practical terms that, in the course of time, it is expected that all persons of aboriginal blood or mixed blood in Australia will live like other white Australians do’. It would not be until the 1960s that the country witnessed the beginning of significant changes for Indigenous rights. |
