A fact from Aboriginal Provisional Government appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 31 May 2010 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Clarrie Isaacs, one of the founders of the Aboriginal Provisional Government, travelled to Libya on what he claimed was a valid Aboriginal passport but was denied re-entry to Australia with it?

Start date?

There seems to be two dates in the various references: 1983 and 1990. Anyone know which one is correct? Hack (talk) 03:12, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well the APG website says 1990[1] but if they gave out passports in 1988 then something is wrong. However looking at the Prentis book they never said that the APG gave out the passports neither does the The Age article. -- Esemono (talk) 09:43, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The SMH ref says it was founded in 1983... Hack (talk) 09:48, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not the best of sources, but Green Left Weekly was the original source of the passport claim. Hack (talk) 10:00, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
