Many of the Aborigines were killed, and the remaining were forced to adapt to the British way of life. They were forced to work as helping hands and servants at farms owned by whites or to move to the cities to work in industrial factories.
In the early 20 th century, the white Australian population started to become more aware of the Aborigines' situation. Special reservations were established where the aboriginal tribes could live like they had done before the British invasion. However, these reservations were often too small. There were also only a few of them so that only a small percentage of the Aborigines had a chance to live there. Therefore, the Aborigines continued to live under poor conditions and they continued to fade in numbers.
In 1940, there were only about 35 thousand Aborigines left in Australia.
Today only about 1% of Australia’s population are Aborigines. The government is trying to make their living standards better but most of them still belong to the poorest group in society. Their unemployment rate is more than six times the national average, and the average wage for Aborigines is half the average national wage.

hey, echt super das du dein referat im internet veröffentlicht hast.
Für die die es bisschen kürzer haben wollen hab ich hier noch was ;)
- Between 1910 and 1970 100,000 Aborginal childreen were taken from their families. They were put with white families and grew up as whites. The reason why many Aborigines have problems today is that the Europeans who arrived in the eighteenth century brought with illness and alcohol ; they took the land from the Aborigines and then they even destroyed their families.
