Hey mate,
I did this in year nine but I've found a little bit that refers to paternalism. Paternalism describes the attitude of a strict stern father looking after children. Authorities felt that they were superior to Aboriginals and patronised them as they concidered them to be on the same level as children - unable to think and make decisions for themselves. This was shown through the Protection Policies. (notes which i have copied and pasted so not sure how relevant they are) Good Luck!

What were Protection Policies?

• Australian colonial and state governments adopted Protection Policies between he late 1880s and 1909 based on the general belief that aboriginals were a dying race and any measures that would reduce unnecessary suffering should be taken (many aboriginals were sent to reserves where they lived in poverty)
• Protection was supposed to improve the way of life but instead it gave them no citizenship rights and made them dependent on the administrators of he reserves
• Chief Protector was the legal owner of all aboriginals, their property and any wages they earned.
• Aboriginal children were sent to special aboriginals schools where teachers prepared boys to become farm or station laborers and girls to be domestic servants
• Some missions run by churches protected aboriginals from mistreatment by the whites
• The use of traditional names and customs was not allowed and often families were broken up as children were taken from the parents
• 1880s the earliest time that aboriginal children were taken from their families under the protection policies
• 1909 the Protection Board in NSW was given the power to removed aboriginal children.
