>Featured this week: THE DEATH OF RECONCILIATION?
>
>John Howard argues that he is more interested in ``practical'' measures for
>Australia's indigenous people than in symbols such as reconciliation
>documents. Yet his government has worked overtime since its election to
>popularise anti-Aboriginal ideas so as to smooth the way for deeper attacks
>by governments and big business on services and land rights for Aboriginal
>people.
