Stolen Generation” thing: removing 100,000 mixed blood Aboriginal children from their parents, between 1910 and 1969. This official policy, carried out by governmental agencies and missionaries, was based, of course, on great a combination of eugenics and the idea that the non-indigenous were doing the mixed children a favor, rescuing them from a “race” of inferior stock, so they could live better lives… in internment camps and orphanages. Of course the non-indigenous Australians know a little something about using eugenics, and racial pseudo-science to justify removing people from their homes and their land. http://images.google.com/imageshl=en&q=Australian+Prime+Minister+Kevin+Rudd+apologized+to+the+nation's+Aborigines&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi
