Bruce Pascoe’s Even More Unreliable ‘History’

  • Peter O'Brien
  • 3rd September 2020

It's not just in 'Dark Emu' that the fauxboriginal, now celebrating his just-announced appointment as Professor of Indigenous Agriculture at Melbourne University, plays fast and loose with the facts. His earlier book, 'Convincing Ground', demonstrates his talent for making stuff up is anything but newly acquired

How to Impress Fools and Make a Fortune

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

From ‘Angry Penguins’ to an Unquestioned ‘Emu’

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

Another Load of ‘Emu’ Droppings

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

A Moral Duty in Black and White

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

The Scorned Wisdom of Martin Luther King

It's not just in the US that the civil-rights martyrs' preaching of faith, non-violence and what used to be called 'middle class values' is rejected by the BLM movement's agitators. Embracing anger and myth, rather than rationality, Aboriginal leaders are making the same tragic mistake

Bruce Pascoe’s Tribe Dines on Young Brains

  • Tony Thomas

Two young teachers at Melbourne's Williamstown High School have penned a guide to help their colleagues use the falsehoods, furphies and fictions of 'Dark Emu' to enlighten children about the 'truer history' of Aboriginal life. While the handbook runs to a slim 96 pages, the misinformation they are ardently passing on would fill libraries

Many times I have heard blactivists dismiss high rates of community violence and child abuse with the throwaway line, 'Walk a mile in our shoes before you criticise.' Maybe they should try walking a few yards in the shoes of the police just to see what it's like

During the Black Lives Matter protests Scott Morrison said there had never been slavery in Australia. Some days later he said his statement was wrong and apologized in parliament. However, he was badly advised, and had been right the first time, as this three-part historical series from Quadrant shows
