Hi watso .. was told the other day by someone who knows(?) a cousin of NP living in Adelaide that the family (the cousin at least..) get ugly at the suggestion they are 'aboriginal' ..
The cousin (Juanita?) claims the family as 'coloured' descended of mixed race .. Indonesian islander.
This is not verified but cousin Juanita's claim might be an interesting question for NP ...
There have been a number of notable examples of the 'race card' being used for personal advancement .. e.g. Michael Mansell.
