This project aims to be the first major study of the clauses in Aboriginal Protection Acts that allowed Aborigines to be released from control by the government; these are also known as exemption policies. By examining rich and underutilised government archives, it aims to provide a nuanced account of how Aboriginal people negotiated the pressures and possibilities of assimilation from 1897 to 1967. At the same time, it aims to reveal how non-Aboriginal Australians imagined Aborigines becoming equal citizens. More generally, this study is expected to advance scholarly knowledge of the intricate workings and development of assimilation policy and enable a new reckoning of the legacy and practice of assimilation.

该项目旨在成为原住民保护法中该条款条款的首次重大研究，该条款允许原住民被政府释放。这些也称为豁免政策。通过检查富裕和未充分利用的政府档案，它旨在提供细微的描述，说明原住民如何谈判1897年至1967年之间的同化压力和可能性。与此同时，它的目的是揭示非原住民澳大利亚人如何揭示非原住民的想象中的原住民成为平等公民的平等公民。更普遍的是，这项研究有望提高有关同化政策的复杂起作用和发展的学术知识，并能够对同化的遗产和实践进行新的估算。
