From Some, Apologies Are No Longer Required

  • Paul Thomas
  • 5th April 2022
icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (6)

Quadrant revealed in March that current and former Territories ministers Anthony Albanese, Paul Keating and Barnaby Joyce could be called upon to apologise to children 'stolen' during their tenures as the responsible ministers. Well what do you know! That provision has been quietly scratched from the Commonwealth's National Indigenous Agency webpage

The Territory’s Very Own George Floyd

As happened in Minneapolis, a violent miscreant and habitual public nuisance shot dead while resisting arrest in a Yuendumu hovel has been elevated by templated media coverage to the status of secular saint. What a pity those who profess to hold Kumanjayi Walker in such high esteem refused to follow The Australian's lead and talk with a thug's many victims

Aboriginal Achievement: Positions Available

  • Peter O'Brien

icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (23)

Did you know Melbourne University, which recently stooped to scoop up Bruce Pascoe for its professor of Indigenous Agriculture, has now added Aboriginal-centred 'cultural astronomy' to its quiver? And have you heard of Aunty Marion Leane Smith? She left Australia for Canada at the age of two and became a nurse. Today, though, she's been press-ganged as an 'Aunty'

Eleanor Dark’s Enduring Achievement

  • Robert Murray
  • 2nd December 2021
icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (5)

Eleanor Dark was the most successful of the nationally-inclined writers of the 1930s and 40s, many of whom were women. Some had their literary limitations, but in their various ways they strived for accuracy about Australia and its society – a marked contrast with those of the past 50 years. Dark's wonderful 'The Timeless Land' leads the pack

Pascoe’s ABC: Enough to Make You Ropable

  • Peter O'Brien
  • 21st October 2021
icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (18)

Long after he was exposed as a charlatan -- a revelation in which I take no small pride -- the national broadcaster's Education unit continues to present the fauxboriginal and his profitable nonsense as the genuine article. The real lesson to be taken from his demonstration of rope-making is that, when it comes to the ABC and truth, never the twine shall meet

The Unsinkable Child-Stealing Myth

  • Tony Thomas
  • 12th October 2021
icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (26)

Were there even a glimmer of honesty amongst those so conspicuously keen to beat their breasts for the so-called Stolen Generations they would fall silent in shame. Nicholas Hasluck's new book makes that point by publishing his correspondence with the Bringing Them Home report's Sir Ronald Wilson, father and promoter of the genocide myth

In NSW, Miseducation is a Teacher’s Option

  • Peter O'Brien
  • 25th August 2021
icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (17)

What to make of Liberal education minister Sarah Mitchell, who not only indulges Bruce Pascoe's atrocious compendium of lies to be taught in schools, but shrugs off calls for its deletion by saying the study of 'Dark Emu' isn't mandatory. Apparently, though, it is perfectly acceptable for individual teachers to flood their classrooms with its reeking nonsense

Pascoe’s Defenders Throw Down Those ‘Factish Gods’

  • Les Louis
  • 19th August 2021
icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (20)

By standing on the sidelines as the charlatan Bruce Pascoe was garlanded for the errors, deceits and absurdities of 'Dark Emu', cowardly academics spawned the current spate of postmodern sophistries in defence of the indefensible. That shameful silence, while it protected careers, has grossly besmirched the integrity of archaeology and anthropology

The Sacred Mountain That Isn’t

  • Marc Hendrickx
  • 27th July 2021
icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (10)

It was immense bad luck for a Scottish backpacker and his companions to park their car unknowingly in the middle of a three-corner feud between two Aboriginal groups and, allied with the far less credible claimants on the basis of no evidence whatsoever and much against, the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service

Why Did Exposing ‘Dark Emu’ Take So Very Long?

  • Patrick McCauley
  • 24th July 2021
icons/chat Created with Sketch. Comments (9)

The wider corruption of the entire indigenous studies industry risked harsh scrutiny as a flow-on from the revealed holes in the fauxborigine's fantastic thesis. Clearly, something had to be done to isolate Pascoe and cauterize such a grievous wound to a politicised discipline's crumbling credibility. Thus, finally, did 'Farmers or Hunter-Gatherers?' appear
