Hi!
On The Western Australian (14th August) the figures Ms Lois
O'Donoghue were more dramatic, saying "ATSIC overall loss of funding
will amount to over $470 million".
On the same paper there a cartoon of Alston frighten me more. The
ingorance seems to be more a deliberate act of racism and provocation.
