Steele,
Obviously it’s not an academic paper, it’s a book, a book that I’ve tried to read but which I find so boring that I give up.
I have used it to make comparisons between Pascoe’s quotes of historical documents and accepted copies of those documents and I find that Pascoe trims quotations to suit his ends and adds wild speculation to try and prove his point.

His use of the title ‘Professor’ is also a bit misleading as it seems to be an appointment that is not academic.

Foxy,

From the book you claimed we should wait for:

As eminent anthropologist Peter Sutton and archaeologist Keryn Walshe meticulously demonstrate in Farmers or Hunter-Gatherers?, released this week by Melbourne University Press, Dark Emu is “poorly researched, distorts and exaggerates many old sources, ignores large bodies of information that do not support the author’s opinions (and) contains a large number of factual errors”.

Dank Emu is a work of wishful fiction.

Is Mise,

It's not our handicaps, it's our abilities that matter.

However, keep an open mind. Keep trying. Don't be
discouraged.

It's often the last key in the bunch that opens the
lock.

Shadow Minister,

I encourage you and others to access Bruce Pascoe's
Bibliography in Dark Emu and to also get hold of a
copy of Sutton's and Walshe's book which is now
available. Keeping an open mind would certainly help.

Foxy,
The bibliography is an extensive joke and at 16 pages is suspiciously long.

Is Mise,

Don't be discouraged.

An editorial in The Age is worth a read:
