SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"An excellent diagnosis of Australia's mind-set."--Jeff McMullen journalist, author, film maker Deep in our hearts, all Australians know that white Australia was established on land which did not belong to us. Some of us assert that Aboriginal people should simply take advantage of opportunities offered by white society.
