If you were an Aboriginal child,and you had LIGHT skin,you were taken away from your parents,and your parents would never see you again. But if you had DARK coloured skin as a child,you would be left with your family. The adults however,were left and rejected from society.

What was the Aboriginal Assimilation Policy?
The aboriginal Assimilation Policy focussed on assimilating Aborigines into white society, and expecting the Aborigines to embrace white beliefs and values. The Assimilation policy, which was introduced in the 1950s (and actively pursued by the Federal Minister for territories, Paul Hasluck, from 1951 onwards), forced Aborigines off the reserves where they at least were protected to some degree (this was the policy of protectionism), and into the cities where they had to adopt White Australia values to survive. It was expected that such integration would improve their way of life. However, the Assimilation Policy did not improve conditions for the Aborigines, and they were denied the most basic of rights - that of being accepted as Australian citizens unless they applied for a "certificate". Applying for a certificate meant denying one's aboriginal heritage and severing all ties with one's own indigenous community.
