Is Mise,

According to the Saturday Paper (rated high for factual
reporting on a clean fact-check record) - we're told that
Quadrant was once seen as a journal of intellectual weight.

Today's Quadrant we're told "has gone off leash to become
a ranting voice of the reactionary right. Very low in
credibility. It had a massive slide into deluded extremism."

Hence my reasons for not being interested in reading it.

Each to their own - of course.

Foxy,
Rancour?
Be that as it may; just read the historical quotes, but I warn you they are graphic.

Is Mise

Probably above her literacy level.

ttbn,

Seriously, give it a rest.

Try listening instead of lashing out.

Another thing that was pleasing about the Johns interview was the debunking of the First Nations nonsense faddishly used to describe nomadic families and clans.

Here’s a mild quote:
“The treatment which women experience must be taken into account in considering the causes which lead to the extinction of the native tribes. Amongst them the woman is an absolute slave. She is treated with the greatest cruelty and indignity, has to do all laborious work, and to carry all the burthens.
For the slightest offence or dereliction of duty she is beaten with a waddyu or yam stick and is not infrequently speared.
The records of the Supreme Court in Adelaide furnish numberless instances of blacks being tried for murdering lubras. The woman’s life is of no account if her husband chooses to destroy it., and no one ever attempts to protect or take her part in any circumstances.
In times of scarcity of food she is the last to be fed, and the last to be considered in anyway.
That many die in consequence cannot be a matter of wonder…”
George Taplin, “The Native Tribes of South Australia”, 1879.
