The South Australian Tribes and Western Australia Aborigines
A historical account recalls 1868 Adelaide where a Native prisoner Jacky faced death for murder amid public debate over frontier cruelties. Revelations at a mission station describe police killings, forced sexual exploitation, and systemic abuse of Aboriginal people, with debates on mission policy and the role of Friendly Associations. The piece contrasts Western Australia’s harsher punitive system with attempts at reform, schooling, premiums for decent living, and limited legal protection for Indigenous people across early colonial Australia.
