"Stan felt most safe at school in Griffith, because he had lots of tough Aboriginal friends. (p.54) In retrospect, however, he was grateful that his parents left the town for Canberra. By this time, the principal at Griffith High had already asked Stan to leave school. (p.55)
Had he stayed in Griffith, Stan believes he would have been absorbed into an Aboriginal subculture where violence was the norm. (p.55) He recalls one occasion in his teens, when the older boys encouraged him to beat up a white student. (p.55)
While living in Canberra, Stan’s education was uninterrupted for the first time in his life. (p.271) Canberra was also a centre for Aboriginal activism, and Stan believes this gave him a broader understanding and higher aspirations."
Bit of mixed upbringing to go with the mixed breeding, eh? Did all right once he got into The Wharte Man's Way.
So - he was on the traditional downhill path of the Abo, running with a pack of drongos, not going to school etc, being drawn into the Abo subculture of violence, etc, until his parents Stolen Generationed him away from all that... and wisely, too.
Griffith - drug capital.... with kings in grass castles and missing anti-drug activists...
Good thing The Wharte Man's Way was there to catch him before he went too far downhill, eh? So there is hope for every Coon out there whining about some mythical past.
