Great article Les Louis. I have read a lot about this saga including the two most relevant books and in my opinion Dark Emu is fiction from one end to the other. Furthermore, the aborigine ancestry of Mr Pascoe would seem to have been comprehensively debunked by a family tree with back up official documentation. This is deception on a grand scale that has been used to indoctrinate children with false and misleading information about aboriginal Australians. This must be rectified asap and if money and prizes were wrongly awarded there must be compensation and penalty paid.

Wow! Professor Marcia Langton has said on face book in a full video interview that Pascoe (That is professor Pascoe to you hicks!) is certainly of aboriginal heritage as decided since the 1970's. Now my memory is that Gough reckoned anyone who was obviously aboriginal said someone else was aboriginal then that was good enough! Of course anyone who is aboriginal cannot be questioned about any facet of anything they say, sixty thousand years of experience should be enough surely?
Interestingly in the 1920's the judge in a Charlie Chaplin paternity case (Mum was very, very young) outright dismissed blood type proof that Charlie could not be the Father and found in favour of the young Miss. Have we progressed to this aboriginal DNA thingy yet? Beyond me I am afraid.
