When did English people take away Australia from Aboriginal people?

This could be said to have occurred when Lieutenant James Cook claimed the east coast of Australia for Great Britain, under the name of New South Wales, on 22 August 1770.
Even though Cook did not use violence against the Aborigines when he made his claim, the indigenous people were not recognised by the English as having any rights at this time. The continent was there to be used and exploited for its resources, as far as the English were concerned, because Australia was "terra nullius", meaning it was a land without ownership. The English were unable to find anyone with the communication skills to negotiate a treaty with the indigenous inhabitants; this concept was first tested and found valid in 1827.

Why did the mixed race children have to go away in The Rabbit Proof Fence?
During this era in Australia's history, Aborigines were seen as an inferior race. Not only did the Europeans of the day hope to remove all traces of aboriginal culture, but the mixed race children were regarded as a danger to the "purity" of the white people. They did not belong in either white society or black society, so they had to be sent away so that they could not grow up to reproduce with either race. It was a shocking time in Australia's history.
