Round 7: Tossup 16

Description acceptable. Youth seeking to do this action were aided by the Big Brother Movement starting in 1924. An initiative promoting this action targeted “Beautiful Balts” who could attend camps at Benalla or Bonegilla. After failing dictation tests in Italian and Scottish Gaelic, Mabel Freer and Egon Kisch (15[1])were prevented from this action. (15[1])Opposition leaders Chris Watson and George Reid supported the Protectionist Party’s “Restriction Act” regulating this action in (*) 1901. Arthur Phillip led the first group of Europeans to do this action in 1788, which is marked by a January (10[1])26 holiday (10[1])sometimes called “Invasion Day.” In 1973, explicit racial barriers to this action were repealed by Labor Prime Minister Gough (“goff”) Whitlam.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 transported (10[1])convicts to Botany Bay? ■END■
