- Sky News host Andrew Bolt says “it’s finally happened” - Bruce Pascoe has been confronted on television about claims he’s a “fake”.
“SBS filmed a program on fake Aborigines and somehow got Pascoe to come," Mr Bolt said.
He said many Aborigines in the audience believed it to be a big problem that “fake Aborigines” are “taking powerful jobs in land councils and other Aboriginal organisations”.
“But there was Bruce Pascoe, listening to all this and still claiming he was a member of no fewer than three Aboriginal tribes, and then came the questions.
“But they were too gentle for me, Pascoe should have been confronted with the evidence showing he's a fake and asked to name his ancestor, but his answers were still illuminating.
“What I found interesting is the evidence - very weak - that Pascoe now gives for claiming he really still is now Aboriginal.”
A DNA test would sort this shit out.
lol there to scared to do that most most are whiter then me and I burn in a full moon
Too many Indians would be testing positive.
DNA testing been around for over 30 years don't why they allow the we identify as people to pretend to be what they are not.
Fact: Aboriginal DNA is 99% the same as Indians.
Sort out exactly what?
Nothing like ticking the box and not being able to be questioned about it.
Just like in America when some people claim Native American ancestry with the intentions of getting free government money, aid and assistance. Refusing a DNA test is what it is knowing that records and documentation are difficult to obtain.
It's not a lie if you believe it.
The old gravy train.
Note the term: identify.
bit like the gender dysphoria
My half sister has been an "Abiriginal" for over twenty years. She's 68 now and has many, many more opportunities in her life, than I have.
I've been a soldier for over thirty years and have not only fought for this country but I am still fighting for myself.
The difference, is pride, honour and unity for me.
Please stop this ridiculous process, of them and us and those before. Let's move on as a single nation.
Thank you for your service but as long as there are two flags flying over Australia there will never be unity!
I claimed to be aboriginal to get better treatment from police a few years ago lmfao. It worked.
Take the money and opportunity away from being Aboriginal and no one would identify as one, then you may get your one nation.
Thank you for your service hope you are safe and well and keep on believing in yourself cheers
When look at who is saying them and us it's mostly the radicals
This is what happens when governments play identity politics and schools teach our kids that being of European descent is something to feel ashamed of.
So true it happened in South Africa
True, meanwhile I find them ridiculous, I don't wonder why they want to be some other ethnic group / race
The silence of the ABC is deafening
and marcia langton - but they have won - that crappy book is now in schools and Uni - truth telling - yeh right
If you watch any ABC panel show to could be forgiven for assuming that the only topic in town is about aboriginals and no other humans but aboriginals inhabit the place
@@graemekeeley4497They manage to weave aboriginals and/or climate change into ever story. The ABC is just a propaganda outlet and needs to be shut down.
@@graemekeeley4497 I agree. They only make up three percent of the population yet they devote so much time to them. I realise that they are disadvantaged. It would be understandable if they dealt with issues such as poverty, but the ABC is more interested in issues such as land rights
The ABCs poster boy. The biggest delusional liar in the history of the universe.
Last year at work we had to watch some compulsory training videos, including one on Cultural Awareness. It told us to NEVER EVER question anyones claim of Aboriginal heritage as it’s the most insulting thing you can possibly do. My suspicions were immediately raised.
It's all about segregation.
@@TheAussiedrew no it's about a bunch of white people the want they're share of the 33 billion dollars while real Aboriginal people can't get health services in the remote communities. They want to spend all the money on symbolic crap not helping those who actually need it

@@alexsmolarek2839 most of them have been bred out...I reckon most of those out and about in the cities and some of the most vocal are almost white people now...I once had a half caste girlfriend and my tanned skin was darker than her natural skin colour...dunno if the benefits for them go to just an 8th or even up to 16th...it's fcken pathetic....I think if full bloods look at these sad sacks of crap they just pity them for how hopeless they are...they probably wouldn't say much to them...haven't lived much in oz over the past almost 3 decades...found a better life in south east asia but I love the land...did lots of camping in tents in the bush
When you’re not allowed to question something…know it’s probably not true. Agree
My partner has aboriginal heritage, verified, he doesn't go around claiming to be Indigenous, he grew up in white man world, doesn't feel he has any right to start saying he's "part Aboriginal" and claiming that as his heritage. My sister in law, a rampant lefty, discovered she has some long ago aboriginal heritage, and she can't shut up about it.
Anything beyond grandparents doesn't actually count as an ethnic identity, only ancestry, or heritage as you say.
Australians have Aboriginal Heritage everyone just needs to stop carrying on about it either way. ie to be Australian. No one is part anything. Australian is an ethnicity.
Pascoe is a greedy go-getter
Even some Aboriginal Elders say there are a lot of “non Aborigines claiming to be one.
The indigenous industry attracts the grifters. Mansell was one example, Lydia Thorpe is another.
@chris muir it must piss her off that Jacinta Price looks 10 times more indigenous than she does :-)
Lydia Thorpe has posted plenty of pictures of herself with her mother and aunts and grandmother all visibly aboriginal women.

The entire industry is there to give a few Aboriginal families everything to keep quiet, the rest nothing and all the tax payers money divided up between 'budgets' of the grossly overpaid public servants.
I have been saying the same thing; my family came over as prisoners (Irish), we never received shit except hard work
My great grandmother was a full aboriginal. That makes me just as much an aboriginal as most of these activists claiming aboriginal heritage. I also have Scottish and English heritage. I prefer to call myself an Australian.
Well said, but the "woke folk" wouldn't accept that.
Great point, Gary. I have thousands of years of British, Scottish and Irish heritage. My father was Brit, but I am a true blue Aussie and proud of everything we have done to make this the great nation it is.
@@NooninParticular-cq6ov Yes. Recognition of a collective belonging of all who were either born within our national boundaries, or have been accepted as Australian. Here they get to contribute and and share our bounty under the protection of our laws and free institutions. A true blue Aussie is one who is unashamed of expressing gratitude and loyalty, cognisant of past wrongs, and committed to progressing a fair, diverse and open society.
@@NooninParticular-cq6ov Lets take your proposition at face value. If it were legally necessary for the Brits have made a treaty before laying claim to the Australian continent, who would they have made it with? The Eora? What form would it have taken in 1788? And how would breaches have been enforced? Where would they be enforced? In British courts? The nation of Australia wasn't created until 1901, and fully in 1986 with the Australia Act.
Cheating

Just an idea.. but why don’t ALL of us aussies , tick the box , next census and really test this theory out
I'm indigenous, but to Scotland. Can I tick the box too please?
Hey, I love that idea! 🙂
Great idea, the buruaecrat brain would explode.
Yeah why not! We can "IDENTIFY" as aboriginal for census night.... just like I can identify as "dolphin" at work and use the female toilets
Ripper suggestion
To claim you're Aboriginal when you are not, must be an insult to the genuine Aborigines.Taking it even further, should you not also have to prove what percentage you are and the benefits be proportional, if Australia is going to go down the apartheid route. This whole thing is very sad because there will be no reconciliation and no true Austalians if we do not all become colour blind and get on with being Australian.
Yes it is an insult and also his not the only one doing it sadly enough, there are others and also in the Government sector,not mentioning names but will eventually get caught out in a matter of time.🖤💛❤️🖤💛❤️
Sounds like he's pretty honest in his responses
I needed an MRI scan done on my knee 12 months ago, but because I’m over 50 and white it was going to cost me over $500. No way I can afford that on a carers pension. If I had have just ticked the box claiming to be Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander it would have been free. No such luck, still limping
Isn't it great that services are offered without discrimination?
@@every1665 i get sarcasm
Oh dear.........sounds like my country of Scotland. You've got to be a box ticker to get anything for bugger all. Us Scots are last in the queue in our own country. Wishing you well with your knee. I'm 51 and had two knees replaced, 5 months apart and this set me back almost £20,000- just checked and it's roughly 36,000 Australian dollars! I was needing the op,says the hospital BUT our National Health Service are all tits up since the covid malarkey and waiting lists are beyond the pale unless you arrived here illegally and have dark skin.

It's always about money. Always
A close relative of mine tells Doctors she identifies as an Aboriginal so she doesn't have to pay for prescriptions. Another extremely unscrupulous woman I know, scored Abstudy for her daughter by claiming the same. Appalling!
Agreed, should not be allowed but what more do you expect the way the stupid woke want things!!! They should never should have got a foothold because of what they are doing to our young people!
I heard a story of a pensioner seeking hearing aids. She was told by a doctor that the better brand was available free if she identified as Aboriginal and if she did he was not allowed to question her assertion.

I know 2 people falsely claiming indigenous heritage. They told me it was for the benefits, they even suggested I do the same.
When I pointed out the ethical concerns with such actions, they simply shrugged and said "it's free money".
It is not 'free money' - it money that everyone pays. Maybe they should identify on our tax returns what % of our tax money (GST included) goes to what cause? People might be shocked.
Dob them in. They are stealing. No different to anyone else stealing benefits.

Same shit with the Maori industry here in New Zealand.

I was applying for Austudy in the 90's (on hold for well over an hour) when a lady who usually works in ABstudy answered. She was lovely and advised me to apply for ABstudy instead. She said it was 4 times the rate of Austudy. I thanked her and told her I wasn't aboriginal. She said it didn't matter, I only had to get a recognized elder to vouch for me. She also said they did it all the time.
In a medical magazine, I saw the most Irish-looking lass - ginger hair, pale skin, the most Anglo lass you could ever see ... and here she was receiving a big Aboriginal scholarship .... I mean there was no obvious aboriginal genetics ... maybe 1/16 0r 1/32 buried in there somewhere! i wondered if she even interacts with any mob or community???
@@mikespike2099 As an Indigenous male I'd like to reply to this.. yes there are schemes to advantage Indigenous people and progress them but for the life of me I am not able to access them, and so few that I know have. You see the vast majority of the time the schemes are delegated by whites who are actually prejudiced toward the indigenous, and like you both have pointed out, would rather hand those benefits off to whites. It would not bother me one bit if whites were screaming to shut down the majority of indigenous schemes, infact I would be right there supporting you, because its not the indigenous benefiting from them
they also have a dedicated, toll free phone line to contact Centrelink where they get through immediately. The rest of us have to pay, and can be on hold for 2 hours or more. We don't do Indigenous people (or the rest of us) any favours by infantilising them, treating them as perpetual victims or a privileged class. Frankly, no self-respecting INDIVIDUAL should want that for themselves anyway.
@@mysty0 Apply again and tell them you identify as a beautiful lady!
@@dudeonyoutube I would probably have more chance
I laughed my socks off at this program, We live in a time where it is abhorrent to question any ones claim to be something, Yet here are our first Australians doing just that. I laughed even louder when he said they are taking our money.........
The market value of being Aboriginal is propped up by tax payers. Why not remove that artificial value and make us all equal, as we should be?
Next time I fill out a form I'm gonna tick the box. I'm now a proud member of the Centrelink Tribe.
Shit Yeah, I'll do the same. Thanks for the good idea.
I identify as a little teapot, it's the little handle that I am having trouble with.......
@@bridgettecampbell1018😊
I grew up in a small Western Australian community. We had the highest ratio of Aboriginals in WA south of Perth. Growing up with many as friends all I needed as a white person Scottish/English heritage was to be sponsored by them to be considered aboriginal. Basically , and this was about social security benefits, I could identify as Aboriginal if I lived with and around aboriginals.
I agree, I worked in a social services org and they had aboriginal girlfriends who would enable their anglo-aussie partners to become aboriginal so they could get extra benefits and priority housing. When the couples broke up the anglo-aussie would continue to claim aboriginal benefits because the partner had signed a form that he was part of her mob ... he could carry that paper around everywhere.
Know what you mean: my response In answer to your question on how can he sit in that room and still say he is of Aboriginal decent - listen to his words they tell how - I "IDENTIFY" and that is how many get away with putting down they identify because that is what is asked when you fill out a form "DO YOU IDENTIFY" as a Torrens Straight Islander or Aboriginal. There is NO REAL MEANS TEST because they see it as RACIST to have to prove their heritage, yet the rest of us must do so. My cousin was of Aboriginal decent (R.I.P) part blood and she was held as a highly respected Elder due to all her contributions to the community. I was once told I should claim as Aboriginal myself because all I needed was for them (a group of Aboriginals I worked with at the time, and it was them who suggest it) to agree I was Aboriginal :? I could not do that as I am White, French, Irish decent and it was a lie one which I was uncomfortable doing knowing it would be fraudulent. My cousin was part Aboriginal as my Mothers sister who was on the French side did at one stage marry an Aboriginal, hence my 1st cousin's and her children (my second cousins) could claim they were Aboriginal. Trust me when I say there are many benefits for being Aboriginal that they were entitled to including buying houses, higher educational programs along with many other benefits which they use until this day. They suffered none of the past that the original Aboriginals who were here when white settlement happened and like many today as they lived a white life style, no stigma from being Aboriginal - but they cling on to the past history to benefit many, many of them today who have never even thought of applying to be identified as Aboriginal until they know how much they could benefit and ride the coat tails as to say on the back of past history events. So yes maybe heritage checks are the best way forward for those of mixed blood (one must remember though if I IDENTIFY as French do you think that is enough without checks they would just grant me a French passport?) - I mean lets not impose that on those who are obviously not lying about their heritage as that is easy to see who is those who are of true Aboriginal decent - common sense must prevail here but so there also should be a means to confirm the authenticity, to prevent those who are abusing the system and bringing disgrace to the Aboriginal community with fraudulent conduct and stealing the benefits that are in place to assists the Aboriginal community.
@@mikespike2099 and in the same regard, just as whites are card carrying members of indigenous tribes there are some indigenous folk are outcast from their tribal groups and denied their indigenous status. They can be dark and blatantly obvious they are indigenous, but if they have stood up against shenanigans in their tribal groups corporation their status gets revoked for speaking against the corruption. Now they have to prove their indigenous status which by Australian Standards doesnt exist without association with the larger tribal group! These individuals have grown up with the same poverty, the same social setbacks as most other indigenous and would even be at a worse disadvantage being ostracized from their family group and lacking what little family support indigenous families provide.
I am one of those individuals and have spoken against corruption within indigenous corporations.. and yes I even have my letter here on file telling me my indigenous status has been revoked.. please show me even one person of European descent who has any such letter telling them their genetic history has been overturned by popular opinion.. its doesnt happen, and it sounds completely ridiculous because it is.. imagine it, a letter telling you that you are no longer white.. that a group of your peers had considered it and your parentage was overturned by popular opinion/vote

By that reasoning, as Pascoe is being questioned, he can’t be in power!? 🤔
The way he conducts himself, as if in a perpetual state of self-reverence.
Sacheen Little Feather has also been exposed. Psychologist Dr. Grande reckons she was a narcissist engaged in self-promotion, in her "for the good of everyone", campaign. Pascoe is doing exactly the same. Narcissists have a long history of conning many.
It's called "white privilege"
AGREE 100%
Andrew?
He exhibits the dour characteristics of his native ancestry. The Scots have always been a very staid mob.
I spoke with an elder many years ago. I'm not aboriginal, but he asked me if I was born here in Australia, I told him I was born in Sydney. He then told me that in also indigenous to this land, makes sense to me.
"Identifying" as something or someone doesn't make you so. Facts and the truth make's it so.
Looks like he could trace his roots back to Father Xmas from the North pole and it would be more credible !
He does look like depictions of Saturn/ chronos, just missing his scythe and a half eaten baby.
The important word that Pascoe uses is "identify", not born or anything else that is factually based.
But he is claiming that he is born.
He has no important words. He is a charlatan.
It's all BS.
Next week ge will identify as a black woman!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
And he said his ancestors were in those regions. No birth history facts that point to aboriginal descent. I can’t call myself Scottish, Irish, English although my great grandparents come from there.
This is why everyone should vote no to the Voice.
As an ex copper many years ago I charged a thief who had a broad Irish accent, red hair and very fair skin with stealing. He applied for, and got, aboriginal legal aid. Nothing has changed.
Hi, Folks.
Funny thing about that - when I was in third year high school in 1959, the whole school attended a lecture given by an Aboriginal tribal leader. As part of the lecture, I DISTINCTLY remember the speaker saying that there were only about SEVENTY SEVEN THOUSAND Aboriginal people in Australia at that time.
And there are supposed to be 800,000 Aboriginals today, just over TWO generations later. Man, THAT is REPRODUCTION onna GRAND scale.
Just my 0.02.
You all have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.
I have a Time Life book on Australia published in 1965.
Australian population was 90% AngloCeltic (British Isles), 9% European and less than 1% ‘others’ including Asian (mostly Chinese) and Aboriginal.
Even 77,000 aborigines is a very high Estimated number considering in 1965 the Australian population was 11,388,000.
The number has grown as the $ paymets thrown at aboriginals have.
Hi, . @Wyatt Family .
Do you mean that they saw all the dollar signs, figgered it out, and started reproducing like crazy????????????????????????? LOL.
I dunno what the 'roolz' are now but it used to be that you only had to be accepted as an Aboriginal by the Aboriginal community to qualify as an Aboriginal.
IF that is still the case, how many people have hopped on that bandwagon?????????

Ain't that the truth !!
Tell me about it 🙄 it's pathetic
The easiest way to settle the argument is with a DNA test. Our family had 'tales and rumours' of Native American heritage. My mother decided to get one of those DNA tests that traces your broader genetic heritage, and it was found that we had Spanish, Scandinavian, Denesovian, etc, but no Native American genetic heritage, so that settled that argument.
Unfortunately the results of those tests are available to multiple law and other organisations so I'm not interestd in giving them ANYTHING as they've demonstrated over the last few years how aggressive and violent they can be.
As a scientist of partial indigenous descent who offered to testify for Mr Bolt in his court case, the accuracy of ethnicity tests is contestable, regardless of what companies selling them may claim.
Hello Elizabeth Warren!
@@shanescott5148 Firstly, your grandfather fighting in WWII and a picture of him marching in Sydney does absolutely nothing to prove anything to do with ancestry or genetics, your statement makes no sense at all. Secondly, yes you can tell if you have indigenous ancestry through DNA testing - tracing ancestry and human migration is one of the things it used for.
Is she still crying about Donald Trump calling her Pocahontas?🤣😂🤪
Years ago I worked with a bloke who claimed and was recognised as being an aboriginal when he told me himself that he and his parents had immigrated to Australia from Pakistan when he was a child. True he did have dark skin but there was no way he was an aboriginal.
I am something like 1/8 or 1/16 indigenous Canadian or, as they are also known, aboriginal. The irony being that I am more aboriginal than a lot of people who call themselves aboriginal. Albeit Canadian Aboriginal, not Australian Aboriginal, but that's a distinction that the forms don't make. Yet as an Australian, I am treated as white.
If you want to know the veracity of his claims, get a dna test done on him and publish the results.

Some Aboriginality is always visible in part. I once met someone who was half African-American and half-Aboriginal. There was no way you couldn't see the Australian Aboriginal features, but there were African features also. It's generally an unmistakable look - you can't fake it.
People can identify as anything they want now, why is “aboriginality” off limits?? I was born in Australia so I am aboriginal of this country like millions of others, though claiming to be one is not something I aspire to…
Me neither.
Me either.
Being aboriginal is a full time job. You get paid just for being one.
My ancestry is Irish, Scottish, British, Spanish, Scandinavian, all documented. This is of academic interest only.
I was born and raised in this country, I am Australian and have no wish to claim anything else.

We are powerless, always have been.. any illusion of power is a game being played by more powerful figures. So telling us we are allowing this to happen?
Let me give you an example of the ignorance of whites like yourself. Some time ago Mining Companies were invading Indigenous Lands to drop Core Samples.. any attempt to speak out against this was drowned out by the outrage of pretentious whites like yourself.. how dare Indigenous people have any notion of Private Property! The hypocrisy of you people!
Ok, so in your outrage you silenced Indigenous Tribes and the Courts ruled Mining Company were free to gallivant wherever they may roam. So they roamed onto Private Farms belonging to whites, and now suddenly you hypocrites were Outraged yet again. How dare Mining Companies invade Private Farm Land.. but the damage was done, you had Voted for the Vetoing of Private Property Rights
So who are the used dimwits now? I wont hold my breathe awaiting your enlightenment, it will never come. So proud and arrogant in your superiority complexes that you are blind to your own folly!

This year's book shortlist for the Prime Ministers Literary Award is the book Farmers or Hunter Gathers by Peter Sutton and Keryn Walshe
It is a rebuttal of Bruce Pascoe's Dark Emu.
In the book, the pair argue that Aboriginal Australians were Hunter gathers and proudly so
Literary critics praised the book describing it as a "muscular long overdue takedown of Dark Emu
The book received praise from Victoria Grieve-Williams a Warraimaay woman from NSW mid-north coast whose ancestors were proud Hunter Gathers
Perhaps now Dark Emu will be removed from School Libarys around the Nation
It took 40 years for the Piltdown man hoax to be removed from all textbooks globally .. after it was proven to be a hoax! So better cross your fingers and hope that by some miracle the Dark Emu hoax will be removed a damn lot quicker than that!
It's amazing how something that is a complete fraud, but fits into a current favoured narrative or ideology .. or theory of the time, ie: "Piltdown man being the "missing link" suited the increasingly secular agenda of the era, which unwittingly or not, led to 40 years worth of students being educated by textbooks that stated that Piltdown man was indeed the missing link and therefore absolute proof, that the fairly recently new "theory of evolution" was indeed no longer a theory but fact!
We can only hope.
You always hear the term"Our Misery" you get sick of hearing that.
I'm an Aboriginal, now give me privilege or you're racist! Come on Lydia, your confession is next.
Ancestor fluidity: I think I am, therefore I am.
If this man was NOT born in Australia, he is NOT indigenous!!
I studied a subject in Aboriginal History at university. Marcia Langton was a lecturer and Bruce Pascoe was a tutor to the best of my knowledge. I had a conversation with Mr Pascoe about nothing in particular....just some minutae. I did have a sense he was a little on the radical side of things
As a bunyip I can say that we were here first and then aboriginal people showed up and started taking our land and food. At least they didn't take any jobs, that's not their style.
Ouch 😂
I worked years ago with a Phillipino who was on aboriginal benefits.
Nobody checks for fear of offending.
Pure and simple if you are generously less than an eighth , only an eighth ,let that sink in emotional people you should not be claiming you are an aboriginal over all the other bits that define you and under No circumstances should you be entitled to special discriminatory welfare and other free benefit kicks that other races have to subsidise you for.
"Victimhood" is profitable, that's why the number grows faster each year.
I worked with the state government and knew a person who was Malaysian ancestry and told them he was indigenous. There is no proof required if you said you were indigenous. Opportunities opened up in front of him despite not being that bright.
Sounds like Thomas Mayo(r)
to be fair he makes a poor liar. He did not deliver a very convincing testimony.
We have so many ancestors, human genealogy a melting pot, without a DNA test which in most cases is an unacceptable over reach of the government, I ask how can you say an individual is not indigenous?
A simple DNA TEST would tell if he had Aboriginal ancestry or not. It could be proven for anyone now a days
The big problem is the scientists still are going on with his crap that they come from Africa meaning all the Indian bloodlines which would have come from the Aborigines but the other way around would upset the testing
That's not going to happen because there will be much embarrassment in the ABC, education department, publishers and libraries as well as other individuals who never for one moment questioned this individual's bona fide.
You can't expect organisations like the ABC to actually do research and want to report the truth, they haven't worried about that small detail for decades.
TRUE: In answer to your question on how can he sit in that room and still say he is of Aboriginal decent - listen to his words they tell how - I "IDENTIFY" and that is how many get away with putting down they identify because that is what is asked when you fill out a form "DO YOU IDENTIFY" as a Torrens Straight Islander or Aboriginal. There is NO REAL MEANS TEST because they see it as RACIST to have to prove their heritage, yet the rest of us must do so. My cousin was of Aboriginal decent (R.I.P) part blood and she was held as a highly respected Elder due to all her contributions to the community. I was once told I should claim as Aboriginal myself because all I needed was for them (a group of Aboriginals I worked with at the time, and it was them who suggest it) to agree I was Aboriginal :? I could not do that as I am White, French, Irish decent and it was a lie one which I was uncomfortable doing knowing it would be fraudulent. My cousin was part Aboriginal as my Mothers sister who was on the French side did at one stage marry an Aboriginal, hence my 1st cousin's and her children (my second cousins) could claim they were Aboriginal. Trust me when I say there are many benefits for being Aboriginal that they were entitled to including buying houses, higher educational programs along with many other benefits which they use until this day. They suffered none of the past that the original Aboriginals who were here when white settlement happened and like many today as they lived a white life style, no stigma from being Aboriginal - but they cling on to the past history to benefit many, many of them today who have never even thought of applying to be identified as Aboriginal until they know how much they could benefit and ride the coat tails as to say on the back of past history events. So yes maybe heritage checks are the best way forward for those of mixed blood (one must remember though if I IDENTIFY as French do you think that is enough without checks they would just grant me a French passport?) - I mean lets not impose that on those who are obviously not lying about their heritage as that is easy to see who is those who are of true Aboriginal decent - common sense must prevail here but so there also should be a means to confirm the authority, to prevent those who are abusing the system and bringing disgrace to the Aboriginal community with fraudulent conduct and stealing the benefits that are in place to assists the Aboriginal community.
Unfortunately, no one is obliged to do a DNA test.
Follow the money and NEVER question a VICTIM Hahahahahaha

I claim I am whatever to is the best deal going at the time. No questions are ever asked to me. May this golden era never end.
Due to get out of control like here in NZ. Be very careful.
Well then again, if a man can “identify” as a woman then surely a white fella can identify as a plenty good fella Aboriginal. As a matter of fact, I’m pretty good at lighting fires in the bush; at the right time and conditions mind. And I can pretty well always find water in the bush by following galahs. So that settles it! I’m doing a Brucey and “coming out.”
I identify as a black transgendered woman so I don't have to explain my white skin and genitalia.
Yes, following another galah.
This bloke has made Australian tolerance a total joke and a farcical concept.
And profitable...don't forget that.
We all should be treated equally...
I was born in Nudgee and now live on Yarrawonga St. I must be indigenous. Oh...and my middle name is Bruce. It's all adding up. Time to write a book...'Sly, crooked Fox.'
Bruce Pascoe would be a great candidate for Who Do You Think You Are. At least assistance would be given to this man to trace his ancestry and heritage.
What a great idea. Pitch it to the studio. I bet their viewer numbers would increase substantially.

DNA. DNA. DNA. The markers are distinctive.
I think i will start ticking the do i identify as a aboriginal box and see what happens
As if he’s aboriginal how ridiculous
Why would anyone admit to being related to Pascoe?
Fetish value?
When I heard the names Dudley, England then the name Pascoe I instantly thought 'Stuffing' - as in turkey stuffing. In the UK there's a company that makes stuffing and they're called Pascoes. Quite befitting this circus clown. He needs to go stuff himself and leave the Aboriginal people alone. However, he's making good money out of his lies and rubbish so he'll never stop. Believe me, we've got crazies in the UK too - we get boa loads of illegals coming over the English channel from France at 1,000 - 1,200 per day and 95% are males of 'fighting age'. They end up in local schools claiming to be 14/15 years of age, mixing with youngsters and then the odd one or two eventually do evil things to them. When a murder/rape has been carried out, then and only then, do our govt. demand a medical to be carried out to get a take on their age. We have had males as old as 34 years of age in secondary schools saying they were teenagers.
The man may be on to something here! I live next door to a family who, are from India. I like cricket, tea and eating curry. There’s every chance I’m related to Gandhi! I’m as white as snow, however I put that down to climate change, mobile phone masts and, a forced social attitude that has made me more white!
I just checked the chronology, it fits in with him, being my great grandfather (If I slightly tweak a few years or so)
I'm with you but you do realise that Gandhi is not popular in today's India?
Times are changing political views over there.
The man revered in the west by many is now considered down home to have been a sellout/British apologist, the first muslim hindu. Really mixed up you know?

Bruce Pascoe only discovered his aboriginal heritage after his publisher told him his books would sell better if he could claim aboriginality.
What a revelation.. who’d have thought. 🤦♂️

You think you got problems over there these people were in Australia 40000 years before the Neanderthals in France died out they are a very very old race of people and about as wild as it gets there were no Aborigines on the panel at all
@@dave.p153 Well, here in the States, Warren falsely claimed that she's an Indian as she was able to take advantage of certain benefits that she gained for being a Native American. I believe it was started in the 1980s that Native Americans were given some sort of sovereignty over their lands. They are able to be autonomous from the tax system, have their own system of legal jurisdiction with in areas etc. Many have become fantastically wealthy by opening gambling casinos on their lands. I believe that one only has to claim having one-eighth Native American blood to be classified as one. This was all done in some sort of reparations payback. I'm surprised Elizabeth Warren didn't pursue that route. However, I guess she figured that she'd make bundles more money being in government!
@@rightlyso8507 didn't she get into Harvard on the Race ticket? Arguably taking a place away from genuine NA. Trump calls her out unceasingly: Pocahontas! 😄
If you can change gender at will, what is the big deal about claiming Aboriginal heritage, particularly if there is a dollar in it.
No more handouts. One rule for all.
This is the fair and honest way, the only way to a level playing field/society where equality reins supreme.
You can identify as anything you want to be,and get a reward for it.
