AUSTRALIANA Aboriginal

 In 1965, the Commonwealth Conciliation and Arbitration Commission decided that Aboriginal workers should be paid the Full Award for their work on cattle stations. This book is the story of the devastating effect that this decision had on the indigenous workers and the way it destroyed their relations with pastoralists.
