the life of Aboriginal people was prescribed by the Queensland laws. Rosser, Fred Clay and others tried started a newsletter called Smoke Signal (aka Palm Island Smoke Signal) in 1974, describing the life of Aboriginal people under the current legislation. The newsletter ran for at least 12 issues. Clay and Rosser were subsequently deported from the island. Rosser later produced another publication for Aboriginal people, called Black Knight, in Brisbane (1975).
