1930's - during the 1930s the plight of Aboriginal Australians became worse. During the Depression many lost their family endowment payments, unemployed were refused access to relief work. Aboriginal Protection Board forced them back onto reserves, which became overcrowded.

- policy of removing children from their families to aid assimilation gained momentum. This issue later became known as the "stolen generations'. Many of these children suffered abuse in their foster homes or in the institutions that they were placed.

Assimilation was government policy - this meant that Aboriginal people were forced to give up their culture and traditions and adopt mainstream Australians values and culture.
