Original Note:
The alleged 1951 document "General Certificate of Exemption" is fake. It was originally created as part of a newspaper ad to promote the 2008 SBS television series "First Australians". The Commonwealth of Australia government has never issued any in its history. https://veritasetcaritas.medium.com/the-truth-about-the-australian-aborigines-protection-act-866a2461bd8b https://www.abc.net.au/mediawatch/episodes/mis-promotion/9975092 https://factcheck.afp.com/certificate-about-former-status-australias-aboriginal-people-not-genuine-experts-say https://www.heraldsun.com.au/blogs/andrew-bolt/nova-peris-and-fake-history/news-story/dbc75d42107f0ccaeef3f854b9457bea
