Notes

  • Epigraph: More rights for Aboriginals? Well, I think everybody, not everybody but many people in high places, have gone mad. I always maintain that if an aboriginal held his bare toe up, they'd lick it. And you can write that if you like. Sir Joh Bjelke-Peterson, Former Premier of Queensland, 1986.
  • Epigraph: So instead of everyone wearing bowler hats and speaking pidgin English we face people clinging to their own heritages, traditions, languages, and styles of selfhood, insisting that they be written into history, and that their picture of us, with elements we might not relish, be written into that history too. Thomas McEvilley
