Foxy,
If you’re not in a corner then continue the discussion by answering the questions posed.

Foxy,

The study of history is meant to be an objective and rigorous examination of evidence to determine the fact irrespective of how unpalatable they may be. The Dank Emu is quite the opposite. The evidence that I have posted unequivocally shows that Pascoe both drew conclusions that the evidence cannot support and in some cases deliberately falsified or manipulated the evidence. The dank Emu is at best fantasy and at worst propaganda.

By nature, people love to be told what they wish to be true and Foxy, in taking this uncritically as a true representation of history shows that you are naive and academically feeble.

It is sad when politically correct fiction is presented as fact.

Shadow Minister,

Go back and read my posts. I have not done what you are
accusing me of. On the contrary, I am willing to read
the material being presented from both sides - with an
open mind - and I am citing and giving the opinions
being presented.

Is Mise,

I have nothing further to add.

Foxy,

You have yet to post one thing that indicates that you even consider that Pascoe's work is anything but scientifically rigorous.

Shadow Minister,

My advice is to read the primary sources that
Bruce Pascoe uses and to also read the multitude of
other sources that are available on Aboriginal culture,
bush food, and land management and practices, many
written by Aboriginal people living traditionally today.

So many books are available.

Did you know that Bruce Pascoe is growing traditional
bush food on his own farm and teaching the benefits to
others?
