The Angry Australians: Ward McNally

Published in 1974, McNally intended his book to be a timely warning to the Government and the people of Australia about the unchanging and dangerous attitude of our nation toward the Australian indigenous people. He thoroughly researched the neglected status of Aboriginal equality and the double standards and hypocrisy which he felt drew a parallel between Australia and Nazi Germany, the United States or Rhodesia and other nations whose racial persecution policies Australians professed to abhor. He also examines the case of an Aboriginal girl who was raped by a white man and who sought medical attention at a hospital, where the staff handed her over to the police. The girl was charged with crimes she never committed by a sadistic and omnipresent police force over which the Commissioner of Police claimed to have little control. With black and white photographs.
