oct 15, 1901 - White Australian Policy

Description:

On 23 December 1901 the Immigration Restriction Act came into law. It had been among the first pieces of legislation introduced to the newly formed federal parliament.
The legislation was specifically designed to limit non-British migration to Australia. It represented the formal establishment of the White Australia policy.

I included this because it was about the interatction and how the Australian aborignialls were treated.
