[11th ISC conference disapproval of social injustice by Australia to Aborigines]

page 9

Delegates to the 11th ISC expressed strong disapproval of social injustice by Australia to her Aborigines. They noted that the Australian Government has seriously neglected the social, political and economic welfare of the original inhabitants of the country. This neglect, they say, receives sanction from certain provisions of the Commonwealth's Constitution.

A demand for an immediate end to these unnecessary and intolerable injustices was made, and a call made for the repeal of the relevant provisions of the Constitution. Complete solidarity with the National Union of Australian Students over this issue was also expressed.
