New South Wales Aborigines Protection Board is empowered to remove and apprentice Aboriginal children without a court hearing. This power is repealed in 1940, when the Board is renamed the Aborigines Welfare Board.
Similar policies allowing the removal of Aboriginal children apply in other states and these practices continue up to the 1970s. Over one third of Aboriginal children are forcibly taken from their parents to provide household servants and stockmen for non-Aboriginal society.Teaching German in Lutheran schools is prohibited as unpatriotic.
