The Bruce Trevorrow decision was a horrifying form of structural violence against aboriginal people in Australia. When Bruce was eleven months old, his parents admitted him into the hospital due to stomach pains. The hospital falsely reported that Bruce was an orphan who had neglected and was malnourished. While under the care of the Aboriginal protection board, Bruce was allowed to be adopted by a white family. Not only did the board take away the Trevorrows' child, but lied to them for some time by saying he was still in the hospital. Rather than living in an Aboriginal community with his parents, Bruce was forced to live in an entirely white town where he was constantly bullied at his school for being of another race. These traumatic experiences that, Bruce claims, lead to his life being ruined under the cruel action of the Aboriginal Protection Board show a perfect example of structural violence. This government institution cruelty took Bruce from his family, leading to various mental disorders within Bruce and his family not seeing Bruce until several years later, his father dying before having a chance to see his son again.

One example of structure violence against Aboriginal Australians is the dictation tests that the "white Australians" gave to Aborigines. In the tests, the people were required to write in EUROPEAN languages, which they were unfamiliar with because they grew up unexposed to them. As a consequence of a failure, they were not allowed to do many things that the "white Australians" could do. This concept is closely related to the United States' Jim Crow Laws, where African Americans were taken the right to vote from caucasian people because they were unable to answer the impossible questions given to them. The Europeans invaded the Aboriginal land and took what wasn't rightfully theirs, claiming the Aborigines as inferior.

One example of structural violence toward the Aboriginal Australians is with "white Australia." They had White Australia all over the place. There were White Australian theatre productions, songs, pins, badges, soaps, and even sliced pineapple. There was even a "White Australia" board game where the goal was to get the colored people out and the white men in. This belief was spread through all of these methods and created a culture full of people who didn't like the colored people and used this knowledge to try to get rid of them. The publications of these things added to the structural violence started with the policies of assimilation and the Immigration Restriction Act, as well as many more in the early 1900s.

An example of structural violence is the policy of assimilation. This policy was based on the idea that white is the superior race in every way. Through this, many children (estimated between 10-33%) were taken away from their indigenous roots and family. They were often given to foster families or the government and lied to about the reason they aren't with their families. The idea of the process was to let the population "die out" and leave a completely white and European culture. During their childhoods, the indigenous children were not allowed to speak their native language or practice their culture. As a result, they were ashamed of their heritage and often subject to abuse physically and mentally.

One example of structural violence against the Aboriginal Australians was the Immigration Restriction Act, passed in 1901. This act was quite similar to the voting tests implemented in the United States in the early to mid 20th century. This act included dictation test in which migrants could be asked to write up to fifty words in any European dialect and tests were often manipulated to make it impossible for an unwanted person to pass. The application of this act can make it seem as "a tool of racial exclusion".

An example of structural violence toward the Aboriginal people is the Immigration Restriction Act. This act included a test where people  who wished to immigrate would have to write words in a European language. However this test proved to be unfair, and the officers could cheat the immigrants if they wanted too

An example of structural violence against Aboriginal Australians are the various laws put in place in the early 1900s by the British. The most important of these is definitely the dictation test portion of the Immigration Restriction Act, in which migrants of any race, including "immigrant" Aboriginals, could be asked to write 50 words in any European language. The test givers would alter the test to make sure the person taking the test would fail, such as in the case of a Jewish man, Egon Kisch, who was fluent in many European languages but could not recite the Lord's Prayer in Scottish Gaelic. This law, along with others, had the sole purpose of keeping Australia white.

In response to Australia's public concern over diversity in 1925, several acts were passed to prevent non-whites from migrating to Australia. These acts included the Post and Telegraph Act, the Island Labourers Act, and the Immigration Restriction Act. The latter includes a dictation test, where any migrant can be tested on 50 words from any European language. This test can be manipulated to exclude even the most fluent migrants, such as Egon Kisch, who was fluent in multiple European languages, but failed the test because he could not recite the Lord's Prayer in Scottish Gaelic.

The Stolen generations were indigenous children who had been forced to leave their families between 1910 and 1970. These tragic events were taking place because of the Assimilation policy. The indigenous people were meant to die out or become a part of the "white" community. Indigenous children, not adults, were integrated into "white" culture where they were sometimes adopted and put in institutions where abuse was common. Assimilation was largely unsuccessful in making the lives of Indigenous Australians any better. The prejudice against the indigenous children is evident because "half cast" children were thought to fit better in the white society. Just because some children were not not entirely indigenous did not mean they were going to fit in any better in the "white" society. Overall, the effort failed because many of the "superior" whites refused to accept the indigenous part of their community. The Stolen generations are a good example of structural violence because the indigenous peoples were not given equal access to the basic human needs. They were abused, punished, and received limited education. Many of the indigenous children taken from their families were never taught parenting skills, resulting in their children growing up in state care.

The ABC article talks about how the natives used to not be counted as part of the population. By not being counts as a human it oppresses the natives. Making them feel subhuman which is just the way the government wants them to feel.

The BBC article is about considering a change of language while discussing the history of Australia. For instance, changing words such as "settled" to "invaded," or "Aborigines" to "Indigenous Australian people." Up to this point, less appropriate vocabulary was used while teaching about the settlement (or invasion) of Australia and the cruel truth of how the Aboriginal peoples were massacred by the British. The article emphasizes how crucial speaking about the truth was and how word choice is capable of completely changing a student's view on the subject. Before, there was extreme structural violence such as describing the Aboriginal peoples as "primitive", "nomadic", and "simple" which gave the impression that the indigenous people were not as modern/powerful as Australians and that they are not truly settled citizens of the country. By being surrounded by this language while talking about the Aboriginal people, Australians are subconsciously prejudice and discriminatory towards them, perpetuating stereotypes and never realizing that it was wrong for them to not have the same treatment as everyone else. Now, by changing simple words in order to have less negative connotations surrounding the Aboriginal peoples and bluntly facing the truth of their messy past, Australia is slowly attempting to make this structural violence disappear.

BBC's article on the reformation of vocabulary in Australian colleges and schools emphasizes how Australian history has been altered, focusing on how Annastacia Palaszczuk backs the altering of textbook terms from "settled" to "invaded". This structural violence shrouds the history of direct violence against Aborigines (conquering and massacring, and may be linked to cultural violence as well, as previous texts take on a more Western/UK POV of Aboriginal Australians, which can be heavily biased, in terms of not portraying all parties' points of view.

The ABC news article stated that did not enjoy full citizenship privileges. An example it provided was that "At Federation in 1901, section 127 stated: 'In reckoning the numbers of the people of the Commonwealth, or of a state or other part of the Commonwealth, Aboriginal natives shall not be counted.'" This is form of structural violence is direct racial discrimination of Aboriginal Australians, where they are literally not counted as people. The article used this to explain the government's power to use structural violence against them, "race power."

The Immigration Restriction Act was a tool of racial exclusion, promoting the idea the white people are superior to other races. It included a diction test in which migrants were asked to write 50 words in any European language, which could be manipulated by officers if they feel that person is undesirable. This resulted in non-whites to avoid coming to Australia, and promoted the racist idea of lowering their status and value of non-white people.

The Immigration Restriction Act had a clear view racial exclusion. While implementing the feature of the dictation test, officers could make changes to the test to prevent undesired people from entering Australia. For example, Egon Kisch was arrested for not being able to recite the Lord's prayer in Scottish Gaelic

Many indigenous children were separated from their families and forced to abandon their heritage in an effort to "assimilate" them into white culture. This lead to them being abused and deprived of many basic needs for mental and physical health.

The use of a dictation test where the person in question would have to write 50 words in any European language. This ultimately allowed for the officials to exclude any unwanted person. This is similar to Jim Crow laws in the U.S.

Through language and the name "aboriginal", the settlers or invaders set up a bias against the indigenous peoples. Additionally, calling them nomadic, further separated the two groups. Although it wasn't a law, the names divided the two groups and many English then felt superior.
