The General Conference did not "throw out" Ellen White to Australia. Rather, she was sent to Australia in response to earnest appeals for experienced workers to help establish and strengthen the Seventh-day Adventist work there. Leaders such as Elder S. N. Haskell urged that laborers, including Mrs. White and her son, be sent to Australia to help open a training school and support the growing mission field. Ellen White herself was motivated by a strong desire to see the message of present truth proclaimed in every land, and she viewed her time in Australia as part of God's providence and purpose for expanding the church's work globally. There is no evidence in the annotated source documents that the General Conference sent her to Australia as a form of punishment or exile. Instead, her move was seen as a strategic and divinely guided step to advance the church's mission in new territories. References: - White, E. G. (1915). Life Sketches of Ellen G.

G. (1915). Life Sketches of Ellen G. White (LS), p. 372.3: "We in Australasia...thought she was making us only a brief visit. She thought so. But the Lord knew better. He placed her in this land, and does not cause the cloud to lift and move elsewhere." If you have more questions about Ellen White's time in Australia or her work there, feel free to ask!
