Treatment of Aboriginals
Sir, — I was amazed by the very strong criticism of Gough Whitlam recently of the New Zealand Rugby Football Union and South Africa. I recently read in “Dairy of the Kirk Years,” by Margaret Hayward, of Norman Kirk’s disgust at the treatment of Aboriginals in the Northern Territory when he visited there in 1974 by the then Whitlam Government. It is sobering reading. He saw the Bogat Reserve “the best equipped” in the Northern Territory. Mr Kirk “took some time to recover from what he had seen.” — Yours, etc., M. LYANS. May 27, 1985.
