Abstract

As the Bicentennial comes closer, so does a complete betrayal on the question of Aboriginal land rights. Even the gains made under the Fraser government are being rolled back by the "pragmatism" o f Labor's right. Marcia Langton is the Land Claims Coordinator of the Central Lands Council, in Alice Springs. She gave this speech at the opening o f the Broad Left Conference at Easter this year.
