Well, the period I was referring to was colonial times (before Federation), when the country was being "settled" by the white man. I cannot comment very much on the period after that (including our own era). Because I have not really read much into policies towards Aboriginals in the period after Federation.
However a treaty between the governments of Australia and the remaining Aboriginal nations I believe is the next step in the reconciliation process. After the apology from both state and federal governments for the wrong headed and racist policy of taking Aboriginal children from their parents.
