There being no proof proffered for the Rabbit Proof Fence, nor for the Stolen Generation that is alleged to be still happening(?!), the diversion is now 'The Invasion'.

What about starting a new thread instead? Starting with evidence, although that poses some real leaps of faith too it would appear,

"The construction of Aboriginal history: fact or fiction?"

Thanks Foxy, bad weather over the ditch, looks like we'll spend tonight in Auckland, down to Roto tomorrow. Got relos to call on in Auckland no problem, so a bed is always there.

Hi Joe, what can't be embellished, changed or altered in any way is the basic fact"

"Three girls walked the RPF in the 1930's." I hear what you say about recollection, but I accept that basic fact, what transpires in the movie, the finer detail, is not all verbatim fact. Can you accept that, otherwise the whole story is a lie.

Dear Paul,

I don't accept that the whole story is a lie.

Aboriginal history has predominantly been written
by non-indigenous people from a non-indigenous point
of view.

There is so much more available today that we can access
The following link may be of interest:

Dear Paul,

I've come across an interesting person - Jane Resture.
You may be interested to Google her biography.

Anyway here's her link on the famous Aboriginal author, poet,
and grand lady - Kath Walker:

Is everybody lying?
