Extract

Seven days after he had attempted to gouge out his own eye with a paintbrush, 29 year old Malcolm Charles Smith, died in Sydney's Prince Henry's Hospital on January 5th 1989. Apart from the unusual circumstances of Malcolm's tragic death, inadvertently caused by his own actions, everything about his brief life since 1965 had been a complete denial of his existence as a human being and an aboriginal child.
