| Popis: | Whatever else may have been their shortcoming with respect to coloured people, the founding fathers clearly did not view Indigenous peoples as aliens. They made it clear that Indigenous peoples were a state issue and that their regulation was to be local. The founding fathers also did not (or probably could not) ethnically cleanse the continent and did not appear to attempt to do so. In seeking to deport two Aboriginal men the current executive are attempting to do what not even the most racist of their forebears did not dare. In Love, in a wafer‐thin majority, the High Court has created a wafer‐thin layer of protection for Indigenous persons in the class of the plaintiffs. This two part article calls on the non-Indigenous peoples, who now share this continent to shake off their apathy and force their recalcitrant leaders to ‘do the right thing by Blacks’ something they claim to have done for the immigrants to this continent. |
