Abstract

A number of people involved in Aboriginal affairs are attempting to help create the conditions under which Aborigines can be self-determining. A popular strategy is to gather information about the conditions faced by Aborigines in order to encourage others - the government, other Australians or sectional interest groups - to act. Some of the consequences of the effective use of this strategy are considered.
