Helen Boyle, a leading aboriginal rights activist, is interviewed on racism in Australia. She argues that there are six times as many aboriginals in prison as whites, although they make up only 1% of the population, that they have a low life expectancy, high infant mortality, & high incidence of disease, & that aboriginal women are continually subjected to sexual harassment & police charges of prostitution. The only hope for the future is in education, but Australian education policies are not at present geared toward helping aboriginal students; the history of the aborigines is taught as ancient history, with no attention paid to contemporary aboriginal life. A way must be found to integrate these people into the real life of Australia. S. McAneny
