A B.Ed is Pascoe's only qualification. He did teach for a while, but fishing and hobby farming seems to have been his main pursuit since - until he took up writing fiction.

Patrick McCauley ('Bruce Pascoe, the harm of a racist hoaxer') says that Pascoe has "out-hoaxed" Ern Malley, but in a more malicious and deceiving way.

Pascoe has misappropriated and misquoted history, fundamentally "re-imagining" 200 years of anthropology. He has "dismissed and completely ignored" any input or objections from traditional tribal people, and "bowdlerised" the diaries of settlers and explorers. "His target and the butt of his malevolent joke" writes McCauley, "are the innocent and mostly naive". 'Dark Emu' is a "racist cultural Marxist whitefella hoax", trying to convince descendants of Australian natives that their fellow countrymen wanted only to kill them, and destroy records of their forefathers' achievements.

Pretty arrogant for a whitey, telling them they got their culture all wrong! But it just follows on from the leftist hoaxes surrounding Aborigines back to the sixties.

Foxy,
Just answer the question instead of diverting with links that only emphasise what has been said.
I appreciate your second link, it emphasises the fact that
Pascoe is an appointee not an academic Professor.It must irk those who have done the hard slog to be appointed to a professorship to have those who have never done the rigorous study.to call themselves Professor and to have others do so as well.

Is Mise,

I answered you with the two links I gave.
You should be able to work things out
from them.

The second link clearly sums up Bruce Pascoe's
qualifications for the Professorship and why he
received the appointment. It's at the end of the link.
Have the patience to read it and stop asking me
to explain things to you. I'm not your teacher
or mother.

Foxy, Just answer the question or just s what you think about Pascoe selectively quoting and leaving pertinent pactS of the quotes out.

Not ou either agree with his deception s or you don’t.

IM,

Foxy can't answer the question about Pascoe's fraud as she is too invested in the fantasy to admit it even to herself.

Foxy,

Your link did show the complete lack of Pascoe's academic qualifications, but that he scores highly in the social justice wokeness stakes.

Pascoe's next book will be on pre-settlement aboriginal computing and their early space exploration plans
