Summary
In the planned colony of South Australia, Aboriginal people were to be British subjects, accountable to English law, but fully entitled to its protection. However, the dreams of London's reformers rapidly soured as British law struggled to protect the settlers' interests and failed to protect Aboriginal lives and birthrights.
