But what goes round comes round and the Chinese will be the undisputed major world power in a couple of decades and if you’re still about you might wonder what’s happening while harvesting rice like a coolie for the Chinese.

The whites sunk the boot in again with this act.
In 1886 the Aborigines Protection Act was passed, declaring children of mixed parentage to be white.
In other words, all people of mixed parentage between childhood and the age of thirty-five had to leave missions where they were cared for by missionaries.

Their expulsion caused great hardships and is still today one of the most bitter memories of injustice among Victorian Aborigines.

The intent of the legislation was to force people of mixed descent to enter the white community. But Its effect was to push these people suddenly into a hostile environment without the benefit of capital or saleable skills.

Even more disastrously, it spilt families.
Teenagers were forced to leave home, some husbands were forced to leave their wives.
