Institutionalisation of Aborigines, under the guise of assimilation and protection policies, was only abandoned in.the lg7Os. It is therefore important to understand the implications of these policies for Aborigines and Australian society in general. I investigate the affect of institutionalisation on Aborigines, questioning the assumption tl.at they were passive victims forced onto missions and government stations and kept there as virtual prisoners.

    Chapter Five The Heroic Years of Mildura Part II: 1975 – 1978 Introduction In Australia, as in much of the western world, including England and the United States, the period between 1975 and 1978 was one of economic and political turbulence. The ongoing stagflation, severe cuts to government spending and high rates of unemployment were common and signalled the end of the post-war boom and the beginning of a period of economic volatility and austerity.

The deadlock was broken with the Governor-General’s dismissal of the Whitlam Government and the installation of Malcolm Fraser and the Liberal-National Country Party coalition as the caretaker government on Remembrance Day, 11 November 1975. The controversy surrounding the constitutional crisis that emanated from this action had powerful reverberations throughout the Australian art world.
