Dear mhaze,

Bollocks to that mate.

You were the one insinuating Aboriginal housing were universally rude 'lean-to's' saying "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."

You then back tracked to say this didn't apply to SE Australia.

The bulk of modern day Australia's population resides from Sydney to Melbourne effectively SE Australia. Why do you think this wouldn't apply to pre-colonialist history? The area with the most abundant natural resources would obviously support the greatest number of people.

Pascoe might be called out of giving too much emphasis on certain passages form journals but both sides can be accused of that. However you still haven't furnished any example of him fabricating a single thing.

ttbn,

I don't know what motivates Mundine to cosy up to the bigoted right of the Liberal Party. I know Mundine got his nose out of joint when he missed Labor pre-selection some years back, for the safe NSW state seat of Heffron (which takes in parts of Redfern). Mundine thought he was entitled and it was a slap in the face from Labor when he missed out. He ran off to the Liberal Party, where he pops up now and then with his "me to" remarks. The Liberals gave Mundine a shot at the federal seat of Gilmore in 2019, where he delivered a 16% swing against them.

Rather than appearing on Murdoch's far right Sky News with Ms Bigot and delivering a spray at Pascoe, Mundine would do well to put out a paper outing his objections to 'Dark Emu', that's assuming he has read it, but like the far right here, probably not.

Pauliar,

Probably because he was rejected by the bigoted left whingers.

Your assumption that Mundine because he is Aboriginal should reject the facts and adhere to the left whinge doctrine is also racist.

BTW ttbn, didn't you say a few weeks back that you wouldn't be reading or replying to the gang of three (Foxy, Steele and myself) on the Forum. Gee, nothing like a man of his word.

Wrong again shonky, "Mundine because he is Aboriginal should reject the facts". Nothing to do with race, if Mundine has objections, which he is entitled to have, then put the facts on the table as he sees them. That seem a reasonable thing to do when you go public on matters like this. Facts are not something you folk of the hard right are comfortable with, although you are very good at making up your own.

'War and Peace' what a terrible history book. All copies should be given to ttbn for his book bonfire for unapproved literature.
