 Kreutziger gave him back the cheque several times, assuring Harry that as an Aboriginal he would easily be able to get another license.Harry finally agreed to sell for $4,500, but then Kreutziger unilaterally reduced the price by $570, deducting the cost of conversion of the boat license from an "AI" license (available only to Aboriginal peoples) into an "A" license.Harry then applied for another license, but was rejected on the grounds that he had left the fishing industry when he sold the boat.
