An extract from Kelly's book Struggle for the North, which has a November 1966 addendum inspired by the Wave Hill strike of August that year.
In 1948, Kelly, working for the Bureau of Agricultural Economics undertook the first survey of the beef cattle industry in northern Australia. He travelled extensively and met much hostility in his investigations, especially when he commented on the plight ('revolting exploitation') of Aboriginal stockmen and the deficient land management of absentee landlords.
