When did it becom illegal to shoot Australian aboriginals?

The legality surrounding the shooting of Australian Aboriginal people varied over time and by region. By the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as Aboriginal rights began to be acknowledged, various laws were enacted to protect Indigenous Australians. However, it wasn't until the 1960s and 1970s that significant legal protections were established, culminating in the recognition of Aboriginal rights and protections under both state and Federal Laws. The Australian government officially prohibited violence against Aboriginal people, but historical acts of violence and dispossession persisted well into the 20th century.
