SA: New book reveals SA land injustice
A new book alleges South Australia was built on an unlawful land grab .. which breached
British laws protecting the rights of Aboriginal people.
The book .. called Coming to Terms .. says a rule requiring the settlers to obtain
land from the indigenous people only with their consent was ignored.
It says by the end of 1836 .. the Aboriginal people had been stripped of all their land.
Former High Court justice MICHAEL KIRBY will launch the book in Adelaide today.
