We have reached the summit of debunking Dark Emu - and now for the downhill run.
Bruce Pascoe - Cherry Picker Extraordinare - Part 1
Mr Pascoe should win an award for ‘Australia’s Best Cherry-Picker’ after his selective quoting from an academic reference book on Aboriginal Hunter-gatherer Economy and Society!
No Dark Emus to be Seen in 1788?
Dr Ian Keen’s 2004 book, Aboriginal Society & Economy, Australia at the Threshold of Colonisation, which precedes Mr Pascoe’s Dark Emu by 10 years, was a ‘systematic…study of pre-colonial Aboriginal societies…at the Threshold of Colonisation’. And guess what? There are no entries in the index under ‘farmer’, ‘farming’ or ‘agriculture’, but several entries unter ‘hunter-gatherers’. We rest our case.
How to have a Respectful Conversation - and Agree to Disagree
The bona fides of Bruce Pascoe
A Tale of Three Elders - Democracy, Oppression and Liberty
Do we really want to give ‘serious regard’ to Professor Pascoe’s version of Aboriginal Law and Democracy?
Professor Pascoe cites the Journals of William Thomas - but has he really read them?
William Thomas witnesses Professor Pascoe’s tribe, the Bunurong, as nomadic hunter gatherers. Professor Pascoe claims his people were ‘farmers’, but he also acknowledges William Thomas as a ‘true’ source of history. Who do we believe?
Fact-Checking Mr Pascoe's Claims - Part 4 with Kerry O'Brien
Is Kerry O’Brien Finally Waking Up to Professor Pascoe’s Sloppy Scholarship and Outlandish Claims?
Is Dark Emu good history? - A New Student and Teacher Study Book

A Tale of Two Professors - And the Death of the Scientific Method at The University of Melbourne
Is The University of Melbourne Heading Towards ‘Toy-Town” Status?
How Low Can Three Writers Go in Misleading our Children with Their Re-writing of our Aboriginal History?
Are ‘The Three Amigo’s’ From ‘Down South’ on a Mission to Lay the Groundwork for Aboriginal Sovereignty? Will they stop at Nothing?
Don't Accept That Mr Pascoe's Ancestors Have Been Here For 120,000 years? Maybe You have an 'Element of Racism'.
But scientists say the evidence is unequivocal that mankind first colonised Australia up to 50,000 years ago. Anything beyond 50,000 years is still not generally accepted as fact.
Fact-Checking Mr Pascoe's Claims - Part 3 with Kerry O'Brien
A Serious Interview? Or just two blokes ‘making stuff up’ by re-imagining Australia’s history?

Advice for Concerned Parents - How to Save Your Children from the Indoctrination of Young Dark Emu
Many parents think Young Dark Emu is far too racist, violent and just plain wrong about our Australian History. Our children’s mental well-being, and our society’s cohesiveness between Aboriginal people and other Australians, is far too important to be left to teachers trying to indoctrinate our schools with this false re-writing of our Australian history.
