Description: Charles Rowley recognised that, by the 1970s, descendants of part-Aborigines had the most rapid rate of natural increase in the Australian population. He recognised there was 'so little known of the demography of this section of the population' that it was important to conduct an investigation into the question of part-Aboriginal population growth. Earlier, the 1909 New South Wales Protection Act had encompassed both so-called 'full-blooded' and 'half-caste' Aborigines. This Act was amended in 1915 to include any 'admixture of Aboriginal blood', highlighting miscegenation that began in the early colonial years.
