‘The legacy to Dr Duguid is as important today as it was during its creation and the time of Dr Duguid’s campaign for the reform of Australia’s relationship with the First Nations Peoples of this land. Duguid’s campaigns were long; one waged in 1947 was against the establishment of a British-Australian rocket and nuclear weapon testing program at Woomera in South Australia. Though it was ultimately put down, subsequent history makes plain that he was right – Duguid foresaw and urged against the immense and needless destruction and waste caused by the nuclear weapons program. That same level of urgency surrounds Aboriginal Australia today.’ (Introduction)
