SIR,—There are, as it happens, sonic coloured people living in

Australia—namely, the Aboriginals. Now, they arc not very numerous, but there used, of course, to be many more. Would Mr. Paul Lynch care to assert that these Aboriginals are treated as equal citizens? If not, would he explain how the treatment accorded them differs from apartheid?—Yours faithfully,
