I'll start.

Briefly describe the Assimilation Policy for Aboriginal people.

[silence--]

from memory...

Policy set in the 1930's by the government in an attempt to "breed out" mixed blooded Aboriginals. Expected all Aboriginals to become part of Australian culture on the basis that white people were superior and that Aboriginals will die out because of natural selection. Led to things like the stolen gen. The policy was abandoned when the government realized that mixed blooded Aboriginals were not dying out.

ARGH!!! HISTORY!!!

• Chifley wanted 20 million migrants by 2000, specifically white dudes because he wanted Australia to be a European country
• WWII made Australia afraid of 'Asian invasion' so adopted the White Australia Policy
• Chifley wanted British dudes but would also accept fair skinned Europeans like Scandinavians
• Asians who sheltered in Australia during WWII had to go back
• Arthur Calwell was immigration minister and said "populate or perish" and "two wongs don't make a white" (lol)
• British dudes could move to Australia for 10 pounds, they were called "Ten Pound Poms"
• Whitlam ended White Australia Policy in 1972
• Vietnamese boat people came to flee the commies
• today Australia is multicultural.

Just a point to make clear here - it was to give the federal government the power to make decisions on aboriginal affairs.

At the time of Federation the constitution didn't mention Aboriginal Affairs and so theywere left with the states and as I am sure you know we can only change the constitution needed a referendum. The 1967 referendum took Aboriginal Affairs from the states and specifically made Aboriginal Affairs a Federal area of responsibility.

u have to answer someone else question before u ask another one.

anyway, i will answer it. Vladimir Petrov, a communist from russia, was defeated. he claimed that the soviet union was running a spy ring in australia. therefore, australia forced mrs petrov back to soviet union, in case she was a spy, at the end, she was taken off and granted political asylum.

back to my question: role of ANZUS!
