The basic trouble with the aborigines today is that they have lost their pride of race and will to exist . . . We are now trying to train the aborigines in North Queensland to live in villages instead of tribes. So said the Premier of Queensland, E.M. Hanlon, at the 1946 Premiers' Conference.1 It is a telling statement because wittingly or unwittingly the Premier summed up an official atti tude to Aboriginal Australians that has characterised 'black-white' relationships since the convict days. This attitude, with its misguided and often punitive benevolence, its wanton cultural ignorance and its confident, if not dogmatic, paternalism, explains much about what is referred to in these pages as the social security access controversy
