Foxy,

I consider myself to be Australian and I have a birth certificate to prove it, I am of European descent, Scots, Irish, English and Welsh. in more modern times but I can trace my lineage back to.Russia, France, Germany, Italy and theViking lands among others.
I am also Irish as I have citizenship of that country by hereditary right and find that having an Irish passport is very useful in Europe.

What proof do I have that Pascoe is not Aboriginal ?
I have followed the trail through the BDMs, w

ith help from others more. experienced than myself,

SR,

"I challenge Joe now you to show a single fabrication and you haven't managed it once."

Well we didn't need to. You found one all by yourself, being the quote that Pascoe doctored concerning the unoccupied village.

Yes I know that you doctor quotes as matter of course and therefore don't consider others doing it a fabrication, but in the adult world....

Want another?
He has a photo of a “pointed dome house” to demonstrate the ingenuity of the aboriginals. Except its Melanesian.

And on it goes..... fractured history in the service of current politics.

"Of course I have read Sturt's diaries and accounts. You obviously haven't."

Well that's good. Of course when I previously pointed you to those diaries to correct your faulty history you refused to do so.

You will note, well not you but someone familiar with the issue, that all the quotes you've managed to ferret come from Sturt's S-E Australia expeditions. I, and plenty of others, have been at pains to point out that the natives in that region lived reasonably well. They didn't do all the things Pascoe claims, but life was pretty good although they were always one drought away from disaster. But the uninformed extrapolate that to the rest of the landmass and that's just bonkers and why Pascoe is wrong and by extension why his flying-monkeys are wrong.

Read Sturt's diaries on his South Australia trips to really see what a pitiful life these aboriginals lived.

Dear mhaze,

Lol.

Slippery as a butchers dick.

You posted: “If you read Sturt (well not you SR, but someone interested in the truth) you see him talking a bit about these 'huts'. But they weren't huts as we currently understand the term, more like what we'd call, these days, lean-to's - a couple of branches as uprights and bark attached for a bit of shelter.”

So I offered Sturt talking about 70 huts able to house between 12 to 15 men. In fact Sturt describes them further as “the floor of which was swept with particular care, … A trench was formed round the hut to prevent the rain from running under it, and the whole was arranged with more than ordinary attention.”

Hardly simple lean-tos were they as you have attempted to assert.

You also said: “Sutton talks about the problems with language and how the early Europeans, not having a term for the aboriginal 'dwellings' and tools, gave them names which rather over-stated their efficacy. So he calls lean-too's huts and then this is manipulated by those of a certain type to imply a permanent structure.”

The explorer himself said of the 70 huts “They appeared to be permanent habitations”

This isn't others 'manipulating language', rather it is the very words used by the bloke on the scene.

So it begs the question why, if you had read his diaries as you had claimed, did you ignore the very passages which supported Pascoe's position about some permanent habitations? I will tell you why, because you are absolutely blind to anything that diminishes your attack on him.

And for you to now be trotting out some weak arsed crap about 'Well it's SE Australia so it somehow doesn't count' is just inane and self deluding.

Look mate, your argument has been completely trashed. I will be reading Sutton and Walsh's book when I return. If they haven't discussed the 70 huts then they will be guilty of exactly the same thing they claim of Pascoe, ignoring evidence which contradicts their position.

It really isn't a good look.

Hi Foxy,

Maybe Issy is a member of the Aryan race.

Paul,
Aryan is not a race.but a llinguistic concept.
