Pascoe is big on Google, many entries of praise and recognition for his historical and ground breaking [pun] work in restoring the utilisation of native grasses as a crop that will save Australian farmers and benefit the world.
Only Quadrant disagrees and are insensitive enough to publish where the money, grants and donations, goes.
There is also mention of the native grass seed flour that his enterprise is producing; Coles and Woolies are said to be worried.

Oh, dear, Oh dear .. are his ideas still getting oxygen?

I thought he'd be allowed to quietly slip away into obscurity taking all his grifted ill-gotten with him - but no - got to 'double down' all the time....

But he is a genuine and proud Rorta Rorta man, of course one doesn’t need to be Aboriginal to be a member of that tribe.

I have the book here - I've actually had it since the early pandemic when I took it out of one of my local street libraries that started up.  I think it was one of the preschool ones - which is a bit worrying if they're teaching this stuff to toddlers! 

Anyway, it's still in the same pristine condition as when I got it as I find I can only take it in small doses.  And maybe that was also the case of the previous owner. 

I also took out another book a few days ago.  This one is Journey into Dreamtime by (Aunty) Munya Andrews.  In the blurb about the author it says she was born to an aboriginal mother and Scottish father and is proud of her aboriginal and Celtic heritage.  This one might be a bit easier to digest.

Ah, excellent, someone who has read the book, which far more than anyone else here.  What annoys me is that critics like Gnads and so on, never read what they are criticising, they just mouth off their tired old Racist mantras.  Now you claim you can only take it in, "small doses", why is that?  Is the writing bad or are the facts hard to digest?  For me, it is just another part of our rich tapestry of history.  We have competing claims, those of the Colonists and those of the Indigenous people.  Personally they need to be examined and if necessary dismisses.  The weight of evidence appears to be on Pascoe's side of the argument at the moment.  Tsk, tsk, tsk...  ::) ::)

You mean, one doesn't have to be (racially) Aborigine to be a part of the Yuin Tribe? No you don't - you can participate in Yuin Aboriginal culture. Just like you can be black and from Africa to gain 'citizenship' and suddenly be 'British'.

So racially, he is not Aborigine.
Culturally he is Aboriginal.
...if the Australian Government allows people to 'cash in' via benefits for being Aboriginal, beyond Aborigine. Then the Government is more to blame.

I've read THE GREATEST REAL ESTATE ON EARTH by Gammage.
It was a great read and makes one feel prouder about this country's worth and all things from the perspective of 'the Land', rather than the Political or Media views of this country.

Dark Emu reminded me much of that Book by Gammage.
It gave me great amazement about another level of this country, that Whities have NOT produced really. Wether it is 51% factual or 97% factual - it showed a new stimulus angle and perception. Sure, it may be 'stylised with some added exaggeration' put on it - but definitely no different to many other Whitey books out there pumping it out in the same way.

Also, there isn't really any substantial works on such a Topic to counter or disprove or prove otherwise. So until there is, I'm happy to go along with Pascoe's interpretation.
Some people took the advice of this land through the eyes of racists, bigots and uneducated.
Gammage took it from the educated, the Surveyors and the more authentic.

So I'll just keep running with the 50/50 until some Whitey really does pump out the truth of the matter, or an Aborigine adds more to it.

Dark Emu? Might be exaggerated, might be propaganda, might have some facts. But it was a great read and says something better of this Land.
The main fact is, at least 'something' is out there - where Whitey has given nothing.

PS: wish to thank the Black Duck team for my nice Yam plant.

I care because I have many Aboriginal friends and relatives and they are all offended that this fraud is ripping off the taxpayers, including them.
None of them are on the First Nations Bandwagon, they all pay tax.

Pascoe's historical fiction novel...  Australia's Pillars Of The Earth (not to be confused with The Roots Of Heaven - a story of fighting elephant poachers... the elephants being the roots of heaven, the theory being that if they all are killed, there will be nothing to hold the heaven above the earth and all will die)...

Aboriginal people I know either don't know who he is or don't care.

Of course, the perception of Aborigines through the looking glass of either Political Australians or Media (fake political) Australians - are not the only perceptions of Aborigines and their Aboriginal cultural evolutions.

Everyone thinks there is only 'one' right answer.

OH!!!!  So what DO you need medications for? I do heart tablets man.... a real trip.

Gee. I may pop a Vitamin occasionally. Maybe a panadol for back pain if needed.
Prefer the natural stuff like Raw eggs for the brain, cooked eggs for the body. Stuff like that.
I only eat McDonalds for sea-sickness. Sits heavy in the stomach and settles it down.

Aboriginal human rights advocate Hannah McGlade, a Noongar woman
and member of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues,
writes that Dark Emu is "misleading and offensive to Aboriginal people
and culture" and that it "is not very truthful or accurate". 

Warrimay historian Victoria Grieve-Williams calls Dark Emu a scandal
and a hoax and expresses deep concerns in the Aboriginal community
about the story Pascoe is telling, saying that her family were not farmers,
but proud of being hunter–gatherers.

Sutton and Walshe’s Farmers or Hunter-Gatherers? is the most forensic and best credentialled examination and repudiation of Dark Emu. https://www.booktopia.com.au/covers/900/9780522877854/0226/farmers-or-hunter-gatherers-.jpg

Pascoe has suceeded to be totally wrong from ANY critical perspective. His talking up of quasi-agricultural development is is  full of nonsense:
" the book was “riddled with errors of fact, selective quotations, selective use of evidence, and exaggeration of weak evidence”, including the suggestion Aboriginal people have occupied Australia for 120,000 years. "


He is also wrong from the Aboriginal perspective, totally missing the significance of the ancient Aboriginal way of seeing and being in the world:
if Aboriginal people were farmers as Pascoe contends, Sutton asks, where is the evidence for it in Aboriginal languages, as there is evidence in Torres Strait languages? “If, as he says, they traditionally hoed and tilled and ploughed the earth, made gardens, selected and sowed seed or planted tubers, irrigated their crops, reaped the results and stored them, and thus were farmers on farms doing farming, should he not have tried to demonstrate that these categories and terms were present in at least some of the approximately 260 distinct languages of Australia in 1788?”

Aboriginal people knew about farmers, Sutton and Walshe write, from their trading interactions with Torres Strait gardeners and Macassans and Baijini from the Indies, but chose not to emulate them, for reasons that were cultural as well as practical. Economics without religion was “inconceivable” to the Old People, they write. “Gathering and hunting and fishing were not just economics: they were the Law.”

I suppose it would be hard for Whities and their colonisation if they entered a part of the world where the 'natives' were superior to them, let alone smart enough not to be like them ( in chains and shackles).

Bolt didn't lie, what he said is true .... he was accused of racism for what he said by a gang who were obviously what Bolt stated.. He was claimed to have breached 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act 1975.

Funny the case was heard by only one Judge, Justice Bromberg who was an active factional Labor Party member who ran & failed in pre-selection for Melbourne.

Even Labor Senator Kimberly Kitching(RIP)_ - whose arse, in death is feigningly being kissed by Albanese - was surprised that Bromberg heard the case because of obvious conflict of interest because of his bias.


Quote:

27. On the basis of my findings, I am satisfied that each of Mr Bolt and the Herald & Weekly Times engaged in conduct which contravened section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act. 28. I have made no findings of contravention in relation to the two blog articles. Those articles were relied upon for additional claims which were raised by Ms Eatock very late in the trial of the proceeding. It would have been procedurally unfair to Mr Bolt and the Herald &Weekly Times to have permitted Ms Eatock to pursue those additional claims. 29. As to the relief which should be granted by the Court, I intend to direct the parties to confer with a view to agreeing on orders to give affect to the Court’s reasons for judgment. I have indicated that the Court will make a declaration that Mr Bolt and the Herald &Weekly Times have contravened section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act. I have also indicated that I will make orders prohibiting the republication of the newspaper articles. In the absence of the publication of an apology, I will consider making an order for the publication in the Herald Sun of a corrective notice. 30. Finally, in dealing with the formulation of the orders to be made by the Court, I have observed that it is important that nothing in the orders I make should suggest that it is unlawful for a publication to deal with racial identification, including by challenging the genuineness of the identification of a group of people. I have not found Mr Bolt and the Herald & Weekly Times to have contravened section 18C, simply because the newspaper articles dealt with subject matter of that kind. I have found a contravention of the Racial Discrimination Act because of the manner in which that subject matter was dealt with.

Wasn't such a big win after all ... it was more a loss for taxpayers.

Pascoe & his Dark Emu are both liars & lies.

Pascoe is the living liar & Dark Emu is his fictional book of lies.

If anything he is guilty of it's racial & cultural appropriation for his own gain.

It was a great read and makes one feel prouder about this country's worth and all things from the perspective of 'the Land', rather than the Political or Media views of this country. Dark Emu reminded me much of that Book by Gammage. It gave me great amazement about another level of this country, that Whities have NOT produced really. Wether it is 51% factual or 97% factual - it showed a new stimulus angle and perception. Sure, it may be 'stylised with some added exaggeration' put on it - but definitely no different to many other Whitey books out there pumping it out in the same way. Also, there isn't really any substantial works on such a Topic to counter or disprove or prove otherwise. So until there is, I'm happy to go along with Pascoe's interpretation. Some people took the advice of this land through the eyes of racists, bigots and uneducated. Gammage took it from the educated, the Surveyors and the more authentic. So I'll just keep running with the 50/50 until some Whitey really does pump out the truth of the matter, or an Aborigine adds more to it. Dark Emu? Might be exaggerated, might be propaganda, might have some facts. But it was a great read and says something better of this Land. The main fact is, at least 'something' is out there - where Whitey has given nothing. I am surprised, a rational post from you JaSin.  Well done.  Obviously the medication is kicking in.  Keep it up.  Anyway, a well reasoned post and someone else who has actually read the book.  Pascoe might be Indigenous, he might not be, is it important?  No, not at all, except to Racists.  Tsk, tsk, tsk...  ::) ::)

Doesn't work like that.
Sure it might be discriminative like in America - Whites aren't called 'Native', only Amerindian's still get to call themselves 'Native' - which basically is a culturalism (like Racism) against any other people 'born there.'
Just like that 'White' Woman born in South Africa, moved to live in USA and was blasted as a Racist for calling herself an 'African-American' too.

It's all wrong, but sadly - it just doesn't work that way to say that just because you were born here, you're automatically 'indigenous' let alone 'native'.
Especially when the only 'local-domestic' representation here is Aborigine/Aboriginal and everything/everyone else is a representation of the International Community of Multi-Culturalism. There is no 'stand-alone' other entity here beyond these two factors.

Why?

Latham, Mark to the Minister for Education and Early Childhood Learning

(1) In the use of Bruce Pascoe's Dark Emu in NSW government schools, is the book treated as a work of fiction or non-fiction?

(a) If non-fiction, what evidence can the Minister identify for the early colonial Governors destroying the Aboriginal townships, crops and fields in and around Sydney post-1788, as per the Pascoe thesis?


Answer -

Dark Emu is not a mandated text, individual schools determine resources to be used to support teaching and learning. It is treated as a non-fiction source material.

In history K-12, the inquiry process ensures that all sources are analysed for reliability, usefulness and perspective. No source is used alone. Multiple sources of material that present varying perspectives ensure that students’ understanding of history is nuanced and complex, rather than a simple story using just one particular viewpoint.

I don't know about you - but that sounds mighty dangerous in the wrong hands - which the NSW education system has been since the beginning of the 1990's - namely the hands of the self-righteous, self-interested, self-promoting, anything to bring down the patriarchy social science feminists .... not enough that Meredith Bergmann, in 1989 - had to get the dopes to alter the curriculum and marking values to more suit girls - based on a single and unreviewed 'study' of SEVEN disturbed girls in the United States - then began the jihad to drive men out of teaching as 'potential paedophiles', 'potential rapists', and molesters of spunky school aged girls etc who threw themselves at teachers.... now school teacher ranks are filled with 'transgenders' and poofs and girlie-boy feminist true believers - the only 'men' they will allow... but now the 'Woke' are also invading children's minds teaching them to Jew-hate and hate men and attack their respected Elders etc.. accuse them of heinous crimes against humanity and Aborigines - but not their own grannies or parents, of course, who are angels.....

I never used the word "native".

As far as I'm concerned I was born here 4th generation and  I'm indigenous to this land though I'm not Aboriginal.

There are no real Aboriginals here only the descendants of the pre-colonial people.

And like me the majority are a mixture of many cultures/races.

re: my highlight --- then why are you here if you're not doing the same? ::)

Well then you go out there an 'publicly' Protest that affirmation either on the streets with the many thousands that agree with you, on Andrew Bolt's program, in Parliament House to rectify the official use of the term because it is divisive and hold you're signs up saying "White Native Rights Now!" just like when you go on Strikes for the Unions, eh?
I bet you don't.  ;D
Typical white chicken meat.  ;)

I'm 'here' because I understand the processes of 'Colonisations' quite well. Like the 'colonisation of white people' as well.  ;) Eight regions of the world, eight races of the world (enigmatic 9 for both if you count Antarctica and the Purple 'mixed race' people) - that makes it EIGHT COLONISATIONS of the world happening. What?! You thought only you Whities do the colonising?  ;D

I'm here because I understand that Australia is a region domestically inhabited by 'originality' by Aboriginies and from an external source, by the International Community under the Sponsorship of the British to which even the Fake Political 'Media America' has to abide too as well.

At an Aborigine Festival (Grapps probably knows the one) last year. When asked by a Aborigine staff member of the Aust Nat Museum where I lived? I answered "It was bashed into me by Aborigines that its their land, not mine - so I'm officially 'homeless'." Which is true. I play the game hard indeed. I 'own no land' here. Didn't they scatter fast.  :D ;D
Don't worry Gonads. I do have a roof over my head 'for free'. I just won't ever own it, you see.  ;)

Agreed.   Bruce Pascoe has lied blatantly about his ancestral
heritage—as proved by his own family tree, researched by
independent historians...

     Bruce Pascoe. Born 11 October, 1947, Richmond, Victoria.


Quote:

A group of like minded people have studied Dark Emu, and the sources that Pascoe quotes as references for his information. We have found that those sources either can’t be found, or if found, don’t match Pascoe’s claims. He blatantly lies, uses misleading words and terminology to give a different impression, or cherry picks the parts he wants, and leaves out the wording that disprove his theories. This book, is now part of the school curriculum. Even more worrying is the fact that a new version “Young Dark Emu” has been published, to target younger and more innocent school children.

Embellishment?

Like Peter Jackson's embellishment of Tolkiens works?
Like Tolkien's embellishment of European history and mythology for a British 'version' that never existed?
The embellishment of everything that comes from 'Hollywood Media' like 'Politics'?

I found Dark Emu a good read concerning aboriginal culture.
Even if its just 51% factual, well that's enough for me to say it made it across the line.
Gee. Bet hardly any 'whitey' knew that a Dark Emu existed up in the sky until this Book put it out there.

...maybe Whities won't accept anything written by Boongs direct. They need a 'Whitey' like Pascoe to infiltrate and extract to make it feel better?

Plus they were NOT a Religious culture, like the Middle-Eastern people's. Nor was Europe 'originally'. Germany has returned to its 'traditional' European roots of Music & Medicine, having jilted the whole Middle-Eastern Religion/Politics/Military thing (as Nazism) as a 'Dead End' for them.

Tolkien and Pascoe have three things in common, being of English descent, being authors and writing fantasy, but apart from those, nothing.
Tolkien was not a fraud.

There's a Dark Emu in the sky?  But they can't fly... somebody has been at that happy juice distilled from inland billabongs again... when the boys hold a 'school' down there with the Johnny Walker and the VB, and piss in that water.. the alcohol level goes way up and the distillery downstream makes a fortune.... and some potent goom/goon ....

When I grabbed this one I didn't know it would get such great use.

Or is it one of the exinct Aboriginal dialects that they've re-invented?

So who around today has been around long enough to re-write the history post 1788? ;D

Just moments and phases.

The future of the Darkies is to rise towards 'Knowledge' and the once superior Whities with their much smaller population and gene pool will fall towards mass production of population.

Past: Whities at the top of the Pyramid with small population
        Darkies at the bottom with a far greater population.
Future: Darkies at the top of the Pyramid with small population.
           Whities at the bottom with a far greater population.

This is the way of the world, this is the Tidal effect - there is no escape from this for either race. Something lost, is something gained for both.

Enjoy.  ;)

"Bruce Pascoe’s ‘Black Duck Foods’ charity has almost “burnt through” the $2.2 million in grants and donations received over the past four years, writer Tony Thomas says.

Black Duck Foods is a charity that was set up to fund the running costs of Bruce Pascoe’s farm and revive what he describes as traditional food growing.

Mr Thomas claimed the charity has only $200,000 left of the “free money”.

“Within six months I’d say all that’ll be gone,” he told Sky News host Andrew Bolt.

“Because it’s losing money at the rate of about a quarter of a million a year.”

Interesting.
Oh well, thanks to Black Duck and Pascoe - the legend of the Dark Emu is now known around the world which now gazes up into the night sky with wonder and imagination.

I couldn't possibly lower myself ..... you do know that Europeans brought mathematics and such to the Middle East, don't you?  The book White Camel is the definitive text.....

When I lived away from the city lights I used to gaze up at the night sky with awe and wonderment even on the coldest clear nights in Winter... it was that good... 3AM and cloudless and minus ten .... sky cleared by early frost fall.... dust-free ... ambient light free ..... the Old Dog and I used to love it when we went for our 3AM pee... he was on these tablets... I'd get up and he'd jump up and head for the door with a relieved look.... the conjunction of Venus, Mars and something else was magnificent...  Halleys outstanding...

Eat your hearts out city slickers - go and bring that herd in to pay your bills .... there's no Dark Emu up there.... lots of other things but no emu....

But desmellified skunks make nice pets, can’t say the same for emu.

Like a traveler on a dark and lonely road of his own creation, Bruce dreads to look back for fear of seeing what loathsome beast shambles towards Bethlehem ...

I note that Pascoe didn't identify as "Aboriginal" until the  late
1980s, when he was around 40 years of age.     Bit strange?

And yes, I know Andrew Bolt is very much a social stirrer and often
exaggerates or misinterprets factoids in his reports in order to
sensationalise them, but  I think most of the stuff he's reported on
Pascoe's pseudo-Aboriginality is pretty believable—considering it's
backed up by numerous other reputable sources.

Bolt was right .... you're wrong.

The only thing I don't support Bolt on is his unwavering support for former Cardinal Pell & him being innocent in any matter regarding pedophile priests under his control & shifting them around to protect them.

Bolt putting his religion before his journalism?
I wasn't aware that he did that for Pell. Not a goodie for Bolt.

I completely disagree with Mickler. On every point.

There is absolutely nothing far right about being critical of massive, unassiilating imigranation, nothing far right about valuing one's own cultural heritage and values, and being critical of 'progressive' thouht which is more often than not is a load of tendentious bollocks.

Like all cultural totalitarians, you, Mickler, the Granuiad et al want to dismiss and rule out of court rather than argue and debate and see where the facts and ideas lead.

There is no inherent value in mass immigration. There is no inherent value in multiculturalism. There is no inhrent value in proggressive thought.

Sort of... I could agree that he may not have been a molester himself .....  but I don't agree with your assessment of inaction in all cases.

He knowingly acted - as the head honcho - in shifting pedophile priests to other locations when things got too hot.

Thus giving them fresh hunting grounds & victims.

That to me is being an enabler & or an accessory to their crimes.

Then on top of that he denied all knowledge of the behaviour of said priests nor would comment on the reasons he shifted them being their child sexual abuse.

The Vatican got rid of Pope Benedict because he tried to clean up all the spider webs and spiders in the Church system. Somehow, the Media was involved as well and began its crusade to call Pope Benedict a NAZI, etc and the Vatican said "No more bad press, you gotta go!". Then they go and put in a Jesuit from South America to be Pope. The whole Jesuit way goes against being anything like a Pope. Everything corrupt 'behind closed doors'.
I would say that Pell, if not a physical molester himself, was 'equally' guilty by supporting the Molesters with his position of authority. Pell the Pimp.

From 2019...

The High Court overturned Cardinal George Pell's conviction for
historic child sex offences in a judgment handed down 7 April  2020.
In a unanimous decision all seven High Court judges found Victoria's
Court of Appeal should not have upheld Pell's conviction. It found the
evidence could not support a guilty verdict.

The second trial George Pell was to have faced on child sex
allegations did not go ahead due to problems with the evidence. Pell
was in December 2018 found guilty of sexually assaulting two 13-
year-old choirboys at St Patrick's Cathedral in East Melbourne in the
1990s, when he was Archbishop of Melbourne. Pell was to be remanded
in custody after the pre-sentence hearing.

Buoyed by that conviction, prosecutors also wanted to take to trial
allegations Pell indecently assaulted two boys at Ballarat's Eureka
swimming pool in the 1970s.

The swimmers trial was to start in April and feature allegations Pell
separately touched two boys while playing in the pool with children
between 1977 and 1979. One boy was aged eleven or 12, and the
other nine or 10.

The older swimmer told police years later he felt one of Pell's fingers
touch his testicle when he was lifted and thrown out of the water. The
other reported that on several occasions Pell deliberately groped him
on the genitals and backside while under the water.

—I'd be guessing that the full political and judicial machinations of the
   Roman Catholic church were brought to bear on the Victorian legal
   system and its judiciary at that time.  Favours for mates or threats of
   skeletons  being rattled etc etc.

May he burn in hell!

Living the HG dream of the ancestors? Not this little Black Duck it seems.

That's where the mother lode is..... more money lying around there than in any single business and just waiting for someone with a grift who doesn't want to work for it ...  look at the types who are drawn to it.... look at the spare cash lying around when their mates 'need' it - yet the people can live in Tent City and learn how to become neo-serfs and beggars...

What will happen to the building industry when and if the CFMEU is knifed in the back and each tradie has to negotiate with bossy alone?  What do you think could be behind Albo attacking a Union....???  Cheaper construction to meet his deadline for housing - at the same old neo-con con of chopping the incomes from those doing the work while not effectively finding the work/income for those left stranded... great way to run an economy.... cut the incomes of the people who feed it!!!!

Been tellin' yez for years that Labor and the LNP are just a Tag Team... a government of two parties in lockstep ... and that Lebor are, off course, now a BETTER clawss of loyal servants to the people... better than the people.... and fit to rule over them...

The CFMEU was one hold-out Union that refused to buckle under ... and had the balls to expect that bossy would pay for fair wages/costs for contractors and hold to conditions....  now they think they've got Sefka by the nuts... and over what?  'dog' on a garbage bin?  'outlaw bikies' working on jobs... unconvicted free men with trade certificates and businesses to run and families?  Misty allegations of 'standover' never proven and unsupported, and which are only the traditional crying from milquetoast 'bosses' like Salim Mehajer who want to rip out a few lazy million from a project and can't do that if they have to pay the proper tariff for the work done? HE got away with about $50m or so... much of it by not paying tradies for work done.  My son is a tradie - he's had that happen... now he's a boss in a big firm... he makes sure everyone is paid properly.... it's not hard.... Howard's 'workchoices' didn't just hand to bossy the right to dictate terms and hourly rates at whim as they seem to imagine they can do.

Are you all blind?  How exactly does a Union negotiating team get to stand over a negotiating team of 'managers' in a recorded session with multiple witnesses?  Where are all the charges and court cases?  Why are there no 'outlaw bikies' sitting in prisons or just sitting in the club house counting the hundred dollar bills instead of working like slaves on building sites in the rain and heat and wind - especially if the money from 'drug dealing' and 'debt collection' is so good?

.... when they came for the Unions, you said nothing.....
