The Cape Barren Island Reserve Act, 1912
Between 1897 and 1912 the policies of Australian governments towards the Aborigines were revolutionised. The protectionist and authoritarian legislation introduced in this period remained in place until the 1950s and 1960s. The legislation in 1897 in Queensland, 1906 in Western Australia and 1911-12 in the Northern Territory are well known and have been given serious scholarly attention. The Tasmanian Cape Barren Island Reserve Act 1912 has been neglected and awaits examination both to place it in its local context but also to see it in relation to contemporaneous national development. Using the resources of the Archives Office of Tasmania, this project will examine the processes and decisions behind the Cape Barren Island Reserve Act, and place these processes within the national context.
