Dear Is Mise,

With all due respect - while your opinion, I'm sure
is appreciated by many - I prefer to listen to an expert
in Aboriginal archaeology - like Dr Peter Westaway.
Thanks anyway.

This is the Griffith Uni news item,

http://app.griffith.edu.au/news/2015/04/09/history-and-mystery-of-australias-toorale-man/

Compare that with the ABC report,

Quite a difference, but why so?

Dear Is Mise,

Thank You for the offer but you can't sell
me something that I already own. ;-)

Dear otb,

News reports and television programs vary in the
type and amount of information they provide and the way in
which they provide the information. Therein lies
the difference between the two.
