In 1928, after a white man was killed, a punitive party mounted a
series of attacks on Aborigines northwest of Alice Springs. The
party's leader admitted that 31 Aborigines were killed. One
missionary in the area put the toll at 70; another at as many as
100. Since 1911, the administration of the Northern Territory had
been the direct responsibility of the Commonwealth. In placing this
event and others within the context of policies pursued by the
national government, Governing Savages reveals how policies of
brutality and calculated neglect bequeathed a bitter legacy to
subsequent generations.
