Round 7: Tossup 16

Description acceptable. Youth seeking to do this action were aided by the Big Brother Movement starting in 1924. An initiative for this action targeted “Beautiful Balts” who could attend (10[1])camps at (-5[1])Benalla (10[1])or Bonegilla. After failing Italian and Scottish Gaelic dictation tests, Mabel Freer and a Jewish (10[1])member of the Communist Party of Germany were prevented from this action. Opposition leaders Chris Watson and George Reid supported the Protectionist Party’s “Restriction Act” regulating this action in 1901. Arthur Phillip led the first Europeans to do this action in 1788, (10[1])inspiring a January 26 (10[1])holiday sometimes called “Invasion Day.” In 1973, (10[1])explicit racial barriers to this action were repealed by Labor Prime Minister Gough (“goff”) Whitlam. For 10 points, what action was first done by Europeans when the First Fleet took convicts to Botany Bay? ■END■
