EACH YEAR, ON a particular day in May, crowds gather in major Australian cities trying to get the government to say sorry to the Aborigines. So far, every administration has refused. Now, in this forcefully argued book, Germaine Greer takes the cause a stage further. She proposes an Aborigine Republic of Australia.
