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. Posted by shadowminister, Thursday, 17 June 2021 10:44:48 AM

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. Posted by Foxy, Thursday, 17 June 2021 10:53:25 AM

Foxy,
You have yet to post one thing that indicates that you even consider that Pascoe's work is anything but scientifically rigorous. Posted by shadowminister, Thursday, 17 June 2021 11:03:11 AM

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? Posted by Foxy, Thursday, 17 June 2021 11:07:00 AM
