  • Doomed Race’ Assumptions in the Administration of Queensland’S Indigenous Population by the Chief Protectors of Aboriginals from 1897 to 1942
    THE IMPACT OF ‘DOOMED RACE’ ASSUMPTIONS IN THE ADMINISTRATION OF QUEENSLAND’S INDIGENOUS POPULATION BY THE CHIEF PROTECTORS OF ABORIGINALS FROM 1897 TO 1942 Robin C. Holland BA (Hons) Class 1, Queensland University of Technology Submitted in full requirement for the degree of Master of Arts (Research) Division of Research and Commercialisation Queensland University of Technology Research Students Centre August 2013 ABSTRACT This thesis examines how the perception of Aborigines becoming a ‘doomed race’ in Australia manifested itself and became embedded in the beliefs of white society during the decades between 1850 and 1870. Social anthropologists who engaged in scientific study and scrutiny of Aboriginal communities contributed to the erroneous belief. Their studies suggested that the physical evolution and ‘retarded development’ of a race with genetic links to ‘Stone Age’ beings could not continue to survive within the advancing culture of the white race. The anthropological determination of Aborigines as a doomed race gained further currency with the scientific understandings supporting white superiority. Consequently, the ‘doomed race’ theory became the dominant paradigm to emerge from previously explored social, anthropological and early settler society. After 1897, the ‘doomed race’ theory, so embedded in the belief system of whites, contributed significantly to the pervasive ideologies that formed the racist, protectionist policies framed by the nation’s Colonial Governments. Even though challenges to the ‘doomed race’ theory appeared in the late 1930s, it continued to be a subterfuge for Australian State and Federal Governments to maintain a paternalistic administration over Australia’s Indigenous population. The parsimony displayed in the allocation of funding and lack of available resources contributed significantly to the slow and methodical destruction of the culture and society of Aborigines.

Phillip’s second commission granted him sole authority to appoint coroners and justices of the peace within the colony. The first paid city coroner was appointed in 1810 and only five coroners served the expanding territory of New South Wales by 1821. To relieve the burden on coroners, justices of the peace were authorised to conduct magisterial inquiries as an alternative to inquests. When the Moreton Bay settlement was established, and land was opened up to free settlers, justices were relocated from New South Wales to the far northern colony. Nonetheless, the administration of justice, along with the function of the coroner, was hindered by issues of isolation, geography and poor administration by a government far removed from the evolving settlement.

  • Typhoid Fever in Colonial Toowoomba and Brisbane
    UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN QUEENSLAND TYPHOID FEVER IN COLONIAL TOOWOOMBA AND BRISBANE A Dissertation submitted by Margaret Hampton Bachelor of Arts (Australian Studies), ANU Graduate Diploma in Arts with Specialisation in History, ANU For the award of Master of Philosophy 2005 ABSTRACT Typhoid fever is a forgotten disease in today’s society, but for the people of nineteenth century Australia it was part of their every day lives. This thesis examines the role that the Queensland colonial government, the medical profession, and the communities of Toowoomba and Brisbane played in the fight against the disease. At separation from New South Wales the Queensland government officials were new and inexperienced and had inherited a financial debt. These circumstances resulted in cautionary governance when it came to public health policy and issues, but determination and single-mindedness when it came to development of roads and railway lines. The government’s view at the time was if the colony was to prosper then this type of infrastructure must be developed at all costs. What the government failed to realise was that the infrastructure of drainage and sewerage, associated with good public health policies, needed to go side by side with other types of infrastructure. The prosperity of the colony rested on the health of its people. Because of the failure of the government to recognise the value of strong public health legislation it was up to the medical profession and the community to be vigilant and take the challenge to the government. This study has found that throughout the second half of the nineteenth century the medical profession and the community with the support of various newspapers had to challenge the government on public health issues consistently in relation to typhoid fever.

PLEASE CONSULT PRINT COPY OF THESIS HELD IN GRIFFITH UNIVERSITY LIBRARY School of Arts, Media and Culture, Griffith University Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy March, 2005 Abstract Frontier issues are an inevitable part of Australian historiography, and have often been dealt with in either an indifferent or a moralistic manner. Specifically, it has been widely argued that records of officially condoned frontier violence have been destroyed or lost. This thesis, which deals with the Native Police in Queensland from 1860 to 1905, attempts to move the discussion on to firmer ground. It is driven by a passionate commitment to the rights of Indigenous Australians, and shows that detailed archival research does not support those who deny the violence that accompanied the colonisation of Australia. Apologists for dispossession will find no comfort in the archival records. The Native Police force was widely reputed to have been the most violent police force on the Australian frontier. Long-standing and widely cited references about the lack of Native Police records have been tied into arguments about the kind of force it was.

  • 8. How Different Was Victoria? Aboriginal 'Protection' in a Comparative Context
    8. How different was Victoria? Aboriginal ‘protection’ in a comparative context Jessie Mitchell and Ann Curthoys Scholars of settler colonial governance in Victoria have tended to characterise the colony as distinctive. It was, most agree, shaped by unusually intensive efforts to govern, survey, ‘civilise’ and control Aboriginal people, rather than to destroy or simply neglect them, although the latter certainly occurred too.1 Here, we wish to scrutinise the idea of Victorian exceptionalism, focusing on the late 1850s and early 1860s, the years shortly after the achievement of responsible government in 1856. With responsible government, Britain lost control over Aboriginal policy, and, just as importantly, British humanitarian societies lost their lines of direct influence on policy. In this period, then, we can trace the beginnings of Aboriginal policy as colonial politicians devised it under the new system of responsible government. This era provides an especially interesting opportunity to consider how different Victoria really was in relation to Aboriginal affairs. One distinctive aspect of Victoria’s history in the late 1850s and early 1860s was a series of significant reports and policies produced concerning Aboriginal ‘protection’. While several scholars have considered them,2 they rarely note that at the same time South Australia, New South Wales and the new colony of Queensland were also conducting inquiries into matters of Aboriginal policy. The reports emanating from these four colonies were markedly different from each other in purpose, tone, content and findings. Although prompted by specific local incidents and concerns, it is striking that they appeared at about the same time – during the first few years of responsible settler government and after a common neglect within the colonies of Aboriginal affairs for most of the 1850s as political structures were refashioned.

    Daily Life.doc - education_kit_daily_life.pdf http://www.ipswich.qld.gov.au/documents/heritage/education_... WHAT DID IPSWICH REALLY LOOK LIKE? 1840s to 1860s When you look at the city area today, it is hard to imagine that 150 years ago; Ipswich must have been like a country village. If you could go back in time, a number of things would strike you as different or unusual. The inner city is now strictly a place for shopping and business but back in the 1840s, 50s and 60s, many people lived there. Transport was difficult and slow so it made sense to live close to where you worked. Some people had a small house attached to the side or back of their shop while others had two-storey buildings with the shop on the ground floor and a residence above it. People other than shopkeepers also lived in the city area for convenience. Many animals could be seen in the streets of Ipswich. Horses were probably the most common, either being ridden or pulling carts and sulkies. There were also many teams of bullocks, which were used to pull heavy loads, usually on two-wheel wagons. The streets were dirt, not bitumen, and clouds of dust drifted into shops as vehicles passed - not very hygienic near food shops, particularly as the dust would have contained particles of manure left on the streets. Water carts pulled by horses were used to wet the streets and try to reduce the dust problem. People also kept animals at their homes. Horses again were common. If horses were going to be used for transport, they had to be kept close by and that usually meant in the back yard or adjacent block of land.
