Goodooga, 20 July - - An Australian Aboriginal sheep farmer and rights activist, Michael Anderson, is taking on the country’s Deputy Prime Minister, John Anderson, for the NSW Outback seat of Gwydir in the coming federal election. Should he win the seat, which he’s contending for The Greens, Anderson would be only the second Aborigine in the national Australian parliament. Australian Aborigines number about 420,000 in a population of 20 million. They are the most disadvantaged Australians. Some claim that many live in worse than Third World conditions in the midst of plenty.
