The genocide of Indigenous Australians refers to the systematic and deliberate actions taken primarily by European settlers, particularly during the 18th to the 20th centuries, aimed at eradicating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, languages, and people. Motivations for the genocide varied, and included motivations aimed at preserving a 'white Australia',[1] or assimilating Indigenous populations 'for their own good'.[2]
This dark chapter in Australian history included mass killings in the frontier wars, forced removals of children (now known as the Stolen Generations), and policies of forced assimilation that sought to extinguish Indigenous Australian identity and cultural practices.[3][page needed]
^Evans 2012, p. 103: ""White Australia" as both an ideal and a colonial project long preceded its implementation as national policy in 1901.¹ Its origins are obscure, yet arguably begin with the enfolding process of Aboriginal dispossession from 1788. Its first articulation, inter alia, was probably by James Stephen, permanent British Under Secretary for the Colonies, when he floated the intention in 1841 of preserving the Australian continent "as a place where the English race shall be spread from sea to sea unmixed by any lower caste." The sense of ethnic exclusivity embodied in this hope seems unambiguous, as does its explicit Anglo thrust."
