Allegations of racism & prejudice practised by Townsville police against coloured folks of that city.

The first page contains an account of police interactions with members of the indigenous community on the night of New Year's Eve [1971] and early morning of New Year's Day [1972], detailing allegations of racism and prejudice on the part of the police in these interactions. The two remaining pages comprise a letter to the proprietor of the Terminus Hotel detailing a "prima facie case of racial discrimination", with the lack of reply to this noted on the second page.

Black Australians

Leaflet, written by J. Newfong, issued by The National Aborigines' Day Observance Committee. At head of page 2: "Conscious of the fact that to date Australian history books have paid little or no attention at all to the presence of the black Australians, the National Aborigines' Day Observance Committee decided - for National Aborigines' Day, July 14, 1972 - to invite a black Australian to supply what in his view represented part of the missing section in the history books. We publish his views herewith with no further comment."
