According to John Maynard, Fred Maynard’s biographer, the most unsettling aspect of the AAPA to the Protection Board, is the fact that it is led by a self-educated and well-educated Aboriginal man with a great command of both the spoken and written word. ‘Maynard 1988 spoke and wrote passionately and insightfully about the injustices and atrocities committed against Aboriginal people. He spoke of things that many white people did not know or were not aware of, or simply did not want to know.’(Maynard 1988, p. 7)
