University of Sydney, Professor Lisa Jackson Pulver Claims She is a Wiradjuri Aboriginal Jew - Really? - Part 1

We were prompted to research the claims of Professor Lisa Jackson Pulver by a number of our NSW Aboriginal informants who had independently alleged that they had deep suspicions about Professor Lisa Jackson Pulver’s claim that she was of Wiradjuri Aboriginal descent.

Many Wiradjuri told us that they could not place her at all anywhere within their wide-ranging kinships.

Now, we don’t know one way or the other at this stage whether Professor Jackson Pulver, from the University of Sydney, is of Wiradjuri descent or not.

We note that Professor Jackson Pulver has been quite public about her ancestry and, being a professional academic, a PhD in medicine, a former Group Captain in the Royal Australian Airforce and the president of an Orthodox Jewish Synagogue, it is hard to envisage that her following claims not true.

But we shall see.
