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

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. McGinness (Joseph Daniel McGinness), President of the Federal Council for the Advancement of Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders, January 1972. 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. A typescript addition at the bottom of the second page of the letter notes a lack of reply to the letter and calls for supporters to attend a sit-in at the Terminus Hotel on a forthcoming Monday night, possibly 14 January 1972.
