The missionaries brought Christianity and basic education to the aborigines of remote Australia. To aid in their management of the aboriginal population, they encouraged them to move from their traditional lifestyles onto centralised missions. Here, they were provided such necessities as flour, sugar and tea, so that they did not need to leave the missions to hunt for food.

The centralised lifestyle soon brought the people into close contact with white Australians, bringing them occasional, low paid work and access to alcohol. The teaching of Christianity meant that the aborigines were encouraged to forget their traditional religions and cultures. They began to be forced to speak English at all times, thus losing their native languages and traditions.

Gradually, alcoholism, sexual diseases and domestic violence became part of the lifestyle of many aborigines in remote areas. With large numbers of children of mixed racial heritage, the governments and missions worked together in many cases, to remove these children and offer them what was thought to be a better lifestyle.

There were both positive and negative outcomes of the missionaries involvement in aboriginal communities, and not all the problems of modern aboriginal communities are solely the result of missionary intervention.

Unknown. In 1710, no European nations had claimed the continent, so there were no European settlers (although there is some evidence to suggest there were survivors of Dutch shipwrecks). The indigenous people occupied the land, and they carried out their daily activities with no interference from white people. No doubt, some were interacting with the Macassans who visited Australia's northern shores, but there are no historical records of any particular events in 1710.

Basically it is summer.

I was charged TWO euros THIRTY cents at a Post Office in Siena. I am sure I was ripped off - typical! Italy is a rip off country, especially if you are a Brit. But I was so pleased to find a Post Office after looking for one for well over a week I paid it without querying the exhorbitant charge. They saw me coming and it wont happen again.

Confidentiality is crucial when it comes to dealing with child abuse for many reasons: * Most parents will pursue the matter in a court of law. The lawyer prefers to keep all matters confidential (Code of Ethics) and also to protect their client(s). Child Abuse can be devastating for children old enough to understand so it's important any actions taken such as contacting the parents of one who abused the child; a babysitter; someone at school is kept as quiet as possible so the child is not traumatized any further.
