A pub or a church won't give you the broader picture.

The arrival of the First Fleet was the biggest event in 65,000 years.
What it did was to connect the aborigines to the rest of humanity.
On the west coast they did see the Dutch sailing up the coast.
In the North the Malacca called in from time to time.
On all the rest of the country they had no idea about other people
that existed in the world. There does not appear to be any song lines
about other peoples. There seems to be no information that Polynesians
ever arrived on the East Coast.
So they were a truly ignorant people and their lack of any sort of
inventive development shows that. Except for the boomerang.
Development relys on new ideas coming in from other places that are
then further developed. That never happened here.
They should be grateful that eventually the British turned up.
Others might well have been slave traders. The British government
gave strict orders to Captain Phillip that slavery was forbidden.
With such a monumental change there was bound to be problems as the
aborigines were jerked forward 65,000 years in a couple of days.

If you only read the authors that have an agenda, you will not get the balance, like the ABC and SBS they are immature journalists presenting their leftist agenda. Not all books are free of bias, read history from the Victors and the loser's point of view. When I learned history, you had to understand the bias of the writer and know the context to make a conclusion. I have had to challenge common views of ancient text that had biased translation from the original, so to be honest to the text have written it as originally written and translated into English.

Josephus,

I am professional trained to use a variety of sources.
Which is what I do.

With you it's a totally different story as we've seen
consistently on this forum. You have a one track mind.
But that is who you are. You're so narrow-minded that
you can see through a keyhole with both eyes.

No offence. Those are simply facts.
