Abstract

This paper focuses on the power and control over Aboriginal lives from the mid 1940s to the 1960s during the period of administration of the Queensland Preservation and Protection Acts, 1939 to 1946, whose provisions — including control of wages, property and people's movements — are indicative of increasing systematic management of Aborigines.
