Duplicated typescript. First page contains an account of police interactions with members of the Indigenous community in Townsville on the night of New Year's Eve 1971 and early morning of New Year's Day 1972. Details allegations of racism and prejudice on the part of the police in these interactions. Signed off by J.

This document is accompanied by a duplicated typescript letter, two pages, dated 13 January 1972, addressed to the proprietor of the Terminus Hotel in South Brisbane, Queensland. This letter details an alleged incident of racial discrimination on the night of 23 December 1971 against a couple of patrons, Colin and Val Blaw. The letter is signed off by Roy Hopkins, Secretary.
