Australia's 40,000 full-blooded aborigines,* nearly half of whom live in isolated tribal groups in the Northern Territory, are "protected" by confused statutes restricting their movement, for bidding them to drink alcoholic beverages even if they remain sober and orderly, to own land or firearms, and to cohabit with white Australians...

An expanded network of government labor bureaus and "aid centers" is to decide where all 7,000,000 African laborers will work, and at what tasks. If an African doesn't take a job offered him, he will be immediately "endorsed out"-the term under which the regime banishes undesirable natives back to their villages...
