White Australians were under the impression rightly or wrongly that the native people of Australia needed a boost along to get them out of the stone age. At the time that all of this was taking place the attitude of the Europeans was very smug and they felt superior to all and sundry. So some bright spark came up with the idea that if you take the children away from the parents and their culture You Will destroy the culture that the parents has and also loosen the natural hold that the native people have over the land. As it turned out this was a experiment in futility. Because dispossession and abuse of the kind that was and to a large extent is still being meted out to aboriginals of this country may killed many of them made their lives miserable and put them in a situation where bad health is always nearby but it is not possible to exterminate a people in order to extract wealth from the ground they live on and still pretend to be a fair and equitable society. The children of aboriginals were stolen in an attempt to wipe out the aboriginal culture. Some times they were taken because they were abused, But this happened as a result of the conditions that these poor people had forced on them. This is the impression I was put under by my teachers in school and by my contact with many Australian People of which I have been one since I came to Australia in 1958.
