Nothing you can do.

NEVILLE: As you know,
every Aborigine born in this State

:12:01
comes under my control.
:12:04
Notice, if you will,
the half-caste child.

:12:08
And there are
ever-increasing numbers of them.

:12:10
Now, what is to happen to them?
:12:13
Are we to allow the creation
of an unwanted third race?

:12:18
Should coloureds be encouraged
to go back to the black?

:12:21
Or should they be advanced
to white status

:12:24
and be absorbed
in the white population?

:12:28
Now, time and again,
I'm asked by some white man,

:12:31
"If I marry
this coloured person,

:12:33
"will our children be black?"
:12:34
And as Chief Protector
of Aborigines,

:12:36
it is my responsibility
:12:38
to accept or reject those marriages.
:12:46
Here is the answer.
:12:49
Three generations.
:12:51
Half-blood grandmother.
:12:53
Quadroon daughter.
:12:55
Octoroon grandson.
:12:57
Now, as you can see,
in the third generation,

or third cross,
