Forced adoption in Australia was the practice of taking babies from unmarried mothers,against their will,and placing them for adoption. In 2012 the Australian Senate Inquiry Report into Forced Adoption Practices found that babies were taken illegally by doctors,nurses,social workers and religious figures,sometimes with the assistance of adoption agencies or other authorities,and adopted to married couples. Some mothers were coerced,drugged and illegally had their consent taken. Many of these adoptions occurred after the mothers were sent away by their families 'due to the stigma associated with being pregnant and unmarried'. The removals occurred predominantly in the second half of the twentieth century. According to Sydney Morning Herald journalist,Marissa Calligeros,it was a practice which has been described as 'institutionalised baby farming'. In evidence given to the New South Wales Parliamentary Inquiry into Adoption,Centrecare's Chief Social Researcher was quoted as admitting to "a stolen white generation."

Lynch told me that in one long Cabinet discussion about what do to about protection cuts, Fraser asked, 'But what about Marshall [Baillieu]?' As well as being a member of one of Victoria's best-known and wealthiest families, Marshall Baillieu was the Liberal member for La Trobe, an electorate where TCF was an important employer. Lynch thought this reaction of Fraser's was pathetic, but nevertheless Fraser prevailed and the recommendations of the commission were greatly watered down—much to the relief of the majority of members of the house.
