To forcibly take somebody from their country is a grave step in any setting. In this presentation Mark Copland outlines the way this was done to over 18000 people in the State of Queensland. This presentation is based on over three years of archival research and gives a detailed analysis of the forced removal of Aboriginal people between 1859 and 1972 in Queensland. The reasons used for removal are interrogated and revealed to be a well constructed tissue of lies.
