Abstract
Much has been written about the protectionist laws that regulated and controlled the lives of Indigenous Queenslanders during the twentieth century. However, much less is known of the estimated 4,092 certificates granted to some 5,257 people between 1897 and 1967 who sought exemption from these laws on the grounds that they were capable of managing their own affairs in a 'civilised manner'. This research has sought to address this through a historical case study of the lived experiences of exempted Aboriginal people who had resided in the South Burnett region in Queensland through researching archival records, gathering oral history and an analysis of the personal diaries of an Aboriginal woman.
