The British who colonised Australia suffered the same delusions that many others of their time suffered, that is, the misconception that Aborigines were mere savages, and inferior to "whites". For this reason, they set out to remove all traces of Aborigines from Australia.

Sometimes this was done in outright massacres, in the guise of defending white man's property. Other times, it was the deception that whites could look after the indigenous people better than Aborigines could look after themselves; thus, the whites sought to remove the Aborigines to mission stations and government-run reserves.
