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

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

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

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

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

Given the mountain of evidence that Bruce Pascoe is a serial fabulist from whose lips not a word should be accepted without a truckload of salt, you might have thought the ABC's Jonathan Green could have posed a tough question or two during their recent on-air chinwag. Instead the ABC host and Meanjin editor confirmed his reputation as a credulous naif

Please indulge me to relate some recent reactions to my exposé of 'Dark Emu' and Bruce Pascoe, its galloping fraud of an author. As Crikey!, that daily journal for the man-bun set, concedes in black and white, facts, research and documentation count for nothing if the author is a conservative

Because the self-declared Aboriginal population is expanding year on year and this growth comes almost exclusively from well-educated, relatively well-off urban people, the unavoidable conclusion is that the Closing the Gap statistics hide the miserable lot of rural and remote indigenous communities

Quadrant's Peter O'Brien exposed the fauxborigine fabulist in 'Bitter Harvest' and so did the Dark Emu Exposed website, but being conservative they were shunned by the Bruce Pascoe groupies. Now, via Sutton and Walshe, the book has been torn apart from the left. So when does it get booted out of our schools?

Because Maoris used the stars to navigate, a NZ tribunal has ruled their descendants are entitled to a slice of the electro-magnetic spectrum. That imaginative lawyers and activist judges can produce such arguments on demand is a given -- and a warning of what lies ahead should the Voice ever be engraved in an amended Australian Constitution
