Foxy,
So you can’t answer the questions, I understand.

The primary sources that you mention, do they include the quotations from explorers that Pascoe selectively edits?

Is Mise,

I am only responsible for what I say
not what you understand.

Hi Foxy,

Would it not be a starling revelation if any of the detractors said they had actually read the book.

Issy, are you donating your supposed copy to add to ttbn's BOOK BURNING of unapproved reading material?

Foxy,
I think that you can’t answer a straight question, pity that you are so handicapped.

On the subject of the primitive, the Scots and Irish and the.majority.of the English were primitive a few hundred years ago, even London had open sewers in the streets..

The cry of “Garde lieu” signalled the emptying of a chamber pot into the street from an upstairs window.

Dear Is Mise,

You prattled on with "Academics have debunked ‘Dark Emu’ , sorry that I can’t post links (new computer, that I have yet to.learn) but Google the title and plenty will come up."

They haven't debunked anything. Instead they did a critique of the book and took issue with a number of the positions taken by Pascoe. Dark Emu wasn't an academic paper, it was in part an invitation to look at the historic journals of those in early contact with indigenous peoples. This is something I have done on his recommendation and found some truely enlightening things which show our indigenous folk in a very positive light.

I am sure there will be people who will also take issue with this response to Dark Emu. That is just what academics do. There is a lot of very good stuff in Dark Emu and it would do you good to read the bloody thing.
