Known as 'New Identifiers', their numbers help to explain why each latest census records an ever-growing number of respondents who, for any number of reasons, identify as 'Aboriginal'. Consider, for example, Tasmania, where fecundity goes nowhere near explaining the indigenous population rocketing from 671 in 1971 to 19,625 in 2016

Teenage Aboriginal suicides won't end because NRL stars refuse to sing the National Anthem. As for indigenous academics, they are happiest pontificating about flags, the Constitution and the date of Australia Day. So where are the voices, especially in their own communities, demanding abusers pay for their crimes?

Everybody knows of George Floyd, but who recognises Fionica Yarranganlagi James, Keturah Cheralyn Mamarika and Layla Gulum Leering, all Aboriginal teens whose lives ended by their own hands?

Like sorcerers who point the bone, the Left has worked its magic on Aborigines, leaving many unable even to identify friend from foe.  Institutionalised racism is repackaged as positive discrimination.  Apartheid is re-framed as Aboriginal separatism.

If you're Bruce Pascoe, the key to riches and acclaim is simple: get conservatives and genuine historians to condemn your book's bogus scholarship and, in a mad stampede, the useful idiots of the Left will fall over themselves to endorse its lies. The New York Times' Damien Cave is the latest to salute the flag of falsehood

In another Australia, the Ern Malley hoax had intelligent people laughing themselves silly that anyone could have taken the fictional author's nonsense seriously. Today, well things are sadly different. Instead of scoffing at 'Dark Emu' and deriding its author as a fraud, those who should be seeking truth are telling children his fabrications are 'irrefutable'. Yes, irrefutable

One reason our schools have been slipping in international rankings might well be that today's children learn what to think, not how to think. In an award-winning teachers' guide to fauxboriginal Bruce Pascoe's fashionable lies about town-dwelling indigenous agriculturists the gulf between what is taught and what is true could not be more apparent

It is four years since Bill Leak drew a cartoon that turned a brilliant spotlight on the abuse and neglect of Aboriginal kids, very soon finding himself vilified and harassed by people so low they would have needed a ladder to tie his shoe. We lost Bill not long after, but not those more determined to make a fuss about Captain Cook than a small child pack-raped in a remote community
