Aye - but the real question is - has he done Right?  No offence?  So somehow in Brianspeak that means nobody can disagree with his conclusions and his views?  We are supposed to simply accept his total minority interpretations as the only source of information - or we're 'racists'?

It doesn't matter if he's 'committed an offence' - the issue is - does he have any right to speak on behalf of Indigenous folk, through claiming some nebulous connection only ever verbaled once .. like some co-ordinates of the next 'meet' whispered once only on a moonless night during SAS selection ...the second issue is - how valid are his minority views and why are they receiving such attention without any attempt at offering alternative views and holding an open discussion of all views??

What planet you on?

Not when the preponderance of evidence indicates otherwise.

If you'd like to limit your discussion to 'terra nullius' and what that entails - you might do better than Piltdown's ravings based on severely cherry-picked references.

Let me start you off:-

Terra Nullius does not suggest there were no residents - it says there was no organised government or infrastructure to support those residents, and thus the way was open to install an organised government and infrastructure.  There was no organised society - ergo - by the values of those times - from which overall the Aboriginals have benefited mightily in many ways - there was no need to negotiate anything.

Times may have changed - but the realities do not - and a few temporary residencies where food was available still do not make a civilisation.  The reality is that with the intervention of civilisation, the life expectancy, general health, social conditions, opportunities, living standards, and so forth, of Indigenous Australians improved and continue to improve.

Piltdown and his ilk perpetually seeking to re-create some mythical golden past will eventually result in the society that has nurtured his kind rejecting their claims in entirety, and allowing them to 'do things their way' without assistance from that civilisation.

That is the end of it.... and Pascoe with all his unsupported rantings will not change that.  In reality, he is a mosquito annoying people, and with no real purpose or aim other than somehow sucking from them.. and his own 'tribe' do not accept him as one of their own...  does he share the earnings from his fantasy stories with this 'tribe' who reject him, like a Good Kaffir?  I'll bet not - he uses it to flourish in the White Man's society, nice house and so forth.

Get Over It!

A local Aboriginal I know here would be long dead without Whartey's intervention, via a quadruple bypass - and he was a footballer and as a child ball boy for Mick Cronin.  He has a job in the local health system, well paid with super etc, and his family do well....

Better than being food for weeds, eh?

Forget Piltdown - he is a loser seeking notoriety and money - easy path to riches unearned, as clearly shown by the feminists and others over the years.  Maybe someone will make him a professor or something and he will suck deeply off the academic tit for life, and laugh all the way to the bank, while the ABC and other fools pay him handsomely to badmouth Whitey's Man created civilisation that benefits him and them so very much.

Get back to me when he's accepted as a tribal member based on genuine ancestry.

I guess the jury of poms wrote in English not Swahili or Pitjatjantjara . English words are known to lots of oz ppl . 

Proof or no dice.... unsupported assertions about ethnic origin etc do not wash.  Thank you, Bruce, your Cornish views are worth a look and a few small points could be of historical interest, but the weight of evidence is against you regardless of how much hoop-la goes down in the media.

Constantly repeating the same refrain even after it has been discredited does no good to anyone, as Dr Goebbels found.

I want to talk about what Pascoe has suggested, not his ancestry.  You just want to discredit him because of his ancestry.   Tsk, tsk, it appears you're a real, true, Racist, Graps.  Tsk, tsk.

Why does it matter?  Who cares?  Except for a few Racists, it is a non-issue.  What is important is that what Pascoe has quoted from the early explorers/settlers journals, Graps.  The things you refuse to talk about...

You misquoted me, Set.  I have corrected your quote to reflect it's real meaning.
