Peter O’Brien debunks Pascoe's Dark Emu claims in this book: http://quadrant.org.au/bitter-harvestnow-on-sale/

SR's modus operandi is to try and nitpick opposer's arguments whilst ignoring the massive holes in his.

That the "research" in Dank Emu is so contorted and dishonest that no serious researcher would touch it with a barge pole is ignored.

Dear Shadow Minister,

You write;

“That the "research" in Dank Emu is so contorted and dishonest that no serious researcher would touch it with a barge pole is ignored.”

What a load of pitiful self validating rot.

What you are basically saying is you and the bulk of the other contrarians haven't read the book but are deciding in a moment of group think to claim it is fraudulent, contorted, dishonest, misquoting, untruthful etc.

But when challenged to give examples you are either unable to do so, or you shoot up links to anonymous sites, or if we can finally extradite one from you it proves to be utter crap, claiming Pascoe was referring to one passage from Mitchell's diary when it was another altogether.

Look at Big Nana talking about towns of 1,000 people. I have read Dark Emu and nowhere in the book does he use that figure or anything close to it. Yet here it is, repeated like it is gospel.

So mate, can you please give a single example where Pascoe has been untruthful in the book.

Dear Franku,

Same gos for you mate. Give one example from the book you have cited which debunks anything in Dark Emu.

Steele,

How about his claims to be Aboriginal?

What about all the references given by the author that you requested?

Official document after document and newspaper articles galore?

Dear Is Mise,

The author remains unverified. There doesn't seem to be a picture of her, a Linkdein account, or any reasonable bio you would expect of someone heading up a team of researchers. If she were a respected genealogist as Bolt attests she would rate a mention on any of the Australian professional genealogist lists in Australia. It appears she does not.

I would be keen to see any links to any bios on the woman because at the moment it is a pretty grey box.

Steele,

It may or mayn't be a grey box but what about all the official documents and references to Pascoe's claims?

She could be the reincarnation of Joseph Goebbels but that doesn't lessen the veracity of the documents that she offers nor the accuracy of the quoted articles.

Never mind attacking the woman, just prove her claims wrong and she's out the door.
