Question

Can someone help me with this please

One historian was told an account of a mixed parentage stockman in the 1940s who was told by the Native Affairs Officer that if he requested an exemption he would be treated as a European, which would include the right to drink alcohol. "If I've got to have a license to be equal to the white man I'd rather stay where I am," he replied, "It would be like . . . TAKING OUT A DOG'S LICENSE."
