The policeman is standing beside his police van full of dogs and holding a butterfly net. In April 1976 Frank Gill issued an immigration notice which was displayed in Post Offices and called for visitors who had overstayed their immigration permits to register between 10 April and 30 June 1976, without facing prosecution under the Immigration Amendment Act (1974). Between 1973 and 1979 police raids on overstayers, mostly targeted at Pacific Island peoples, were known as "dawn raids". Title supplied by Library. Quantity: 1 cartoon(s) newspaper clipping..
