Realising he is relatively powerless under the Western Australian Aboriginal Act Jimmy continues to treat white Australians with contempt, voicing the injustices served;.
"JIMMY: You reckon blackfellas are bloody mugs. Whole town knows why we"re going. Cos wetjalas in this town don't want us ere, don't want our kids at the school with their kids, and old Jimmy Mitchells tight cos they reckon they Bert Aukes gunna give him a hiding in the election".
This relates to the whole Aboriginal community showing the publicity of racism practised by the dominant society, and the strength arguments such as Jimmys contain, yet bare little impact in the dominant value system.
Through Davis" construction of the white dominant value system, he does not present them with human qualities, conveying that white authorities showed no remorse in their demoralising actions against Aboriginals. The Aboriginal race is presented in completely the opposite light, with human qualities, with their sense of family and their strong bonds, which, in the end, is all they have left to hold onto amidst their marginalisation. Neither government laws nor punishments have succeeded in unsettling the Aboriginal bonds with eachother or their own culture. Jimmy is a character shown constantly to rebel against the inequities of his life, and would rather suffer (by going to prison) then succumb to an authority he does not recognise. Jimmy repeatedly insults law enforcers, his attitude towards Mr Neville alone, the "Native Protector" is a prime example of this. The very fact that Mr Neville's title contains the word "Native" ironically shows his lack of morale, implying "uncivilised" beings.
Jimmy's sarcasm underlines the lack of feeling white administration displays when he comments on his prison time;.
"You know one thing about Fremantle gaol? Even some of them screws are polite-.
not like this place- Native Protection couldn't protect my dog from fleas".
