Yea, I think it is.

Check out this site > http://www.skwirk.com.au/p-c_s-14_u...s-aboriginal-people/the-aboriginal-experience

It has info on the protection policy and paternalism.

.. heh, the only thing that comes up to me is Protectionism.
o_o

 

[speedofsound]

Yeah, basically. The protection policy was virtually centered around the "paternalistic" attitudes of the Europeans, they felt as if it was their duty to guide the Aboriginals, tell them how to behave, etc.
