...Hasluck's liberalism was of a rather narrowly juridical character, hostile to the sociological realities on which rested an alternative stream of liberalism espoused by his critics and embraced by Australian governments since the 1970s.
As an early advocate of 'assimilation', Elkin had advised against thinking of Aborigines as an ensemble of individuals, each to be liberated from their Aboriginality by the state....By contrast, Hasluck subscribed to notions of the social whole and of the individual which drew on the juridical language of liberalism.
Keeping 'culture' at bay, Hasluck presumed an emergent individualism with jural, but not cultural, predicates; he imagined 'assimilation' in terms of its end- a nationhood unified by the state's gradual dissolution of Aborigines' sense of communal or ethnic identity.

Krygier and van Krieken begin their critique of Windschuttle by drawing attention to issues raised by the historian (and later Liberal politician) Paul Hasluck, whose 1942 book Black Australians is favourably cited by Windschuttle.
