 In Western Australia, the "Aborigines Act 1905" removed the legal guardianship of Aboriginal parents.It made all their children legal wards of the state, so the government did not require parental permission to relocate the mixed-race children to institutions.In 1915, in New South Wales, the "Aborigines Protection Amending Act 1915" gave the Aborigines' Protection Board authority to remove Aboriginal children "without having to establish in court that they were neglected."
