The piece discusses past injustices toward Aboriginal people in New South Wales coastal regions, noting reduced birth rates and high death rates as key factors in their decline. It argues for better treatment to allow adaptation to new order, cites royal commissions, and critiques current practices amid public protest.
The document urges a Royal Commission to inquire into the condition of Indigenous people remaining in the state, to report on improving their status and integration as citizens. It argues the inquiry can be practical, sympathetic, low cost, with inspections and prompt reporting to the government. It notes land work by Indigenous individuals and calls for government action with minimal expense.
The passage asserts that Aboriginal families have lost land and homes to white settlers and that children are removed from their parents at a certain age, with boys and girls sent to different places. It claims no injustice is done and promises government support, urging a generous, not just, approach to the survivors’ conditions.
Canon Peter Green of Manchester leads a betting controversy claiming British bookmakers take 170 million pounds annually from bettors. Lionel Phillips challenges the figure and a chartered accountant is to decide. Green cites 34,734 bookmakers with 1,042,000 pounds in net profits after tax and 30,647,000 pounds gross profits from 17,34 bookmakers.
The source notes that 60s a week profits are implausible and cites Inland Revenue figures of gross betting turnover at £417,000,000 per year with probable net income per bookmaker around £600 to £700 annually.
