А не говорите,

вы доказать попробуйте, что я очень плохо знаю то, о чем говорю.

О хороших намерениях испанцев - я выше написал.

Касается "мерли со страшной силой" как причины отнятия детей от родителей...

В 1905 году главный протектор в Квинсленде W. E. Roth заявлял, что, если детей-полукровок не отбирать у матерей, то "half-caste girls became prostitutes and the boys cattle thieves".

В 1909 главный протектор Западной Австралии, C. F. Gale писла:
"Я без колебаний заберу любого полукровку у его матери-аборигенки, каб бы она не горевала в этот момент. Они быстро забывают о своих детях".

Главный протектор O. A. Neville (с 1915 по 1940) считал так: чистокровные аборигены вымрут, полукровок нужно забрать у матерей-аборигенок, а браки полукровками контролировать так, чтобы они влились в белое сообщество.
"young half-blood maiden is a pleasant, placid, complacent person as a rule, while the quadroon [one-quarter Aboriginal] is often strikingly attractive, with her oftimes auburn hair, rosy freckled colouring, and good figure ..."

Потом можно "eventually forget that there were ever any Aborigines in Australia".

Ну, про то, что аборигены всегда считались подданными королевы, но гражданские права им нужно было специально получать... по Natives (Citizenship Rights) Act 1944 года.

To become "white", in effect, the applicant had to show a magistrate that he or she had "dissolved tribal and native associations", had served in the Commonwealth armed forces and had received an honourable discharge, or was "otherwise a fit and proper person to obtain a Certificate of Citizenship". But much more than that, the magistrate was required to be satisfied of many things before an applicant was no longer "deemed to be a native or Aborigine": first, that for two years before the application, the applicant had "adopted the manner and habits of civilised life"; second, that full citizenship rights were conducive to his or her welfare; third, the applicant could "speak and understand the English language"; fourth, the applicant was "not suffering from active leprosy, syphilis, granuloma, or yaws" [45]; fifth, the applicant was of "industrious habits" and "of good behaviour and reputation"; and finally, the applicant was "reasonably capable of managing his own affairs".
There was, of course a catch - one unequalled, I believe, in "native administration" anywhere in the world: that if the Native Affairs Commissioner, "or any other person", made complaint, a magistrate could revoke the certificate and the person became a native or Aborigine once more.
This statute was not repealed until 1971.

К вопросу о предательстве.
