- Sky News host Chris Kenny says a book which “completely demolishes” claims by Bruce Pascoe that Indigenous Australians practiced advanced agricultural techniques before European settlement was shortlisted for the Prime Minister's Literary Award.
The book by authors Peter Sutton and Keryn Walshe, ‘Farmers or Hunter-Gatherers? The Dark Emu Debate (MUP)’, was shortlisted for 'scholarly accomplishment' in the Australian History category.
Mr Kenny said information uncovered in the book is “emphatic and damning”.
“Truth matters, reality matters, and the pursuit of the facts is absolutely crucial,” Mr Kenny said.
“So it is a wonderful thing that this has been recognised in the literary world today when it comes to interrogating the facts over our Indigenous history.”
Pasco should be charged with FRAUD!
No leftist, like him, would ever be charged with anything. Instead, his BS book, full of complete lies, aimed at destroying our nation, through division, is embraced into our education system. We are breeding generations of Trotskites!
60,000 years = a stick that you can’t throw away. 200 years = the best country in the world.
Yep. Zero evidence to support Pascoe's BS.
When Cook sailed though Sydney heads, he noticed the indigenous parliament building along with the indigenous university for mechanical engineering and thermodynamics, he fired one broadside and completely destroyed all the buildings along with any evidence, those 12 pound naval cannons possessed incredible punch and range.
LOL yeah but then they struck back with death rays from their flying saucers and sunk Britain into the Atlantic Ocean thus creating the story of Atlantis.
I just had a picnic on the North Sydney foreshore and I said to my younger nephews and nieces is it not great that the aborigines lined the foreshore with these wonderful sand stone blocks before captain cook arrived great landscaping and without metal tools! They pissed themselves!
Big bang indeed, and any chance to find computer science remnants there...
Did Cook sail thru Sydney Heads??? I don't think he did, I'm sure it was Captain Arthur Philip but whoever it was (and he wrote that it was the most beautiful harbour in the world) I'm sure the Opera House & Bridge were already built, the poms just lied & hid it all until cameras became available 🤫
Really? Damn. I was pretty sure that they took their flying cities and went outer space into the unknown.
It's amazing how other explorers never noticed all this indigenous agriculture all over the place,
Have anybody noticed that most scratches on rocks (sorry art) were done....65000 years ego.! No 20 ,no 10 ,no 5 thousands years but around 60 thousands. So as quick as they come, they paint ,and mark all rocks and ...did nothing for the rest of theirs life. Job completed!!
@@henryjanicky4978 Some art that was supposedly done tens of thousands of years ago is now protected from the weather else it would soon disappear.
@@PJRayment yes - strange how it survived so long without an awning and a visitor interpretation centre.
Yeah good point, they would have noted it in their diaries for sure. The ABC has egg on its face now as they presented the book as gospel.
Its amazing how university of WA published masturbation death machines.
Seriously. The first sign of retard is bigbrain
The 1.1Billion ABC should refund to the taxpayer the funds spent on promoting dark emu science
Pascoe's book holds as much water as his racial claims.
Is it just me, or does Bruce Pascoe look like Stinky Pete the prospector from Toy Story 2?
This man should be charged with fraud
Bruce is living in the Dreamtime
It’s not gullibility - it’s racism.
They wanted to believe my ancestors were so racist that they discovered a civilisation more sophisticated than the pharaohs, then destroyed it and eliminated all memory.
Bruce Pascoe is a fantastic writer of fiction.
So is Otto Frank
Yeah Lol.
ABC 'journalists' treated it as fact without any objective discernment because it fits their narrative..
No more no less
Probably he is aiming to land a job at Amazon,to write some new Lord of the RIngs episode.
A DNA test would sort this out. Like Harry not being a Royal.
Harry Hewat, lol.
@@Nibby12 ginger pubes
The gullibility of those who believe Pascoe is gob-smacking!!
Regardless of the past, there should be zero special treatment for people identifying as aboriginal..
Exactly. It is only dividing the nation, and making the lazy micro breeds whinge even louder. 😂
Like just about everything related to indigenous affairs, its all overblown and not factual.
Was it an ancient Australian Wakanda complete with space craft and lazer guns ?
correct.
Another word is BULLSHIT
you got that right.
Now for the next question. If indigenous history is 60000 plus years - where are the graves? There literally should of been millions of identified grave sites.
Dingo chewed all the boneeeessssssup
tripping over bones like in Britain building roads and digging up Vikings OMG another one
Yes and where is the proof they didn't take it from people all ready here
@@bushranger7646 They wiped out the pygmies they found here from memory
He is disgusting to pretend that he is Aboriginal . Then to feel that he has to lie , to try to change what the Aboriginal history actually consists of , as though there was something shameful about their very rich and accomplished history in this difficult land . Insulting !
I bought this book for $2 in an op shop recently: I am glad I didn't pay more. It is complete rubbish and a work of fiction. Pascoe has himself been derided by his indigenous "kin" for claiming, falsely, he has indigenous heritage.
I studied Australian history at university. The various courses weren't whitewashed history at all and there was considerable weight given to historians such as Henry Reynolds. His book "The Other Side of the Frontier" details battles fought by the aborigines against the white invaders, etc, and contains substantial source materials.
Why have distinguished historians of the past (and present) never unearthed the facts and materials Pascoe claims?
We grew up being told that the Aborigines were hunter gathers.Not farmers Told that for Years &years, & that they used mostly the scorched earth Policy to gather & trap FOOD.Dug up grubs Gathered WILD growing fruits Or scoured the sea shore or river banks to FIND food, such as crabs, worms, mussesl & oysters. That is what we were taught in school in the 19 fifties. In my travels of over 40 years,,I never once SAW a farm in any of their communities
As a European - who has “happened” on this video - do I conclude that the only qualification needed to be a journalist/commentator on “ABC” is that one knows the first 3 letters of the alphabet !!!
Well, I guess you do need to know who you're being paid by (the government-funded Australian Broadcasting Corporation). But beyond that, the main qualification is that you toe the far-left line, and ignore the requirement that the ABC is required by legislation to be balanced.
I know we live in a state of nothing is funny, however these comments are precious, very humorous and so true. ABC, should be a private concern, and then we will see just how many people are prepared to be hoodwinked.
Plus vote Labor or Greens.
Pascoe, Wow !!... Right up there with Tim Flannery !!...
There are so many so called indigenous people who have a large European family heritage, but some how only wish to claim Aboriginal heritage.
If my great grandfather or Grandmother was Spanish, I’m not Spanish however I have Spanish heritage. A very Subtle difference.
I have no idea why some people wish to ignore one part of their heritage at the expense of the other. Are they embarrassed by having European heritage?
Just my opinion
They go where the money is, just like Obama.
Claiming indigenous heritage makes you a victim of colonialism and with that comes benefits of gaining scholarships, jobs and other benefits not awarded to us common folk. It's a trendy thing to do as seen my the massive increase in those identifying as First Nations people in the latest census.
A mate of mine has a full blood aboriginal father and an English mother; he is extremely proud of his English heritage because of how the English brought western civilisation to Australia and has zero interest in his aboriginal heritage because it is completely obsolete to modern Australia; he sees the aboriginal industry and all the special treatment of aboriginals as a giant scam to rort the taxpayer.
@@petesmitt. I hope he holds his high too. Well done that man.
I know of a full blood aboriginal, worked all his life and refused to scap that very same barrel of dependence.
@@JC-lu4se First Nations - the phrase was appropriated from Canada - naughty naughty
I’m 53 years old and never heard his claims ever before in my life from my elders. Yes we spread kangaroo grass across the country and it’s seeds were used to make flour and created other ‘farming’ techniques. Never before this book did my elders tell stories of things like Pascoe did.
These people, like Pasco, are really "wolves in sheep's clothing", in my view. They disgust me, because the only seeds they sow, are racism and social divide, in order to install a form of cast based/race based communism. All this garbage about paying the rent, for example and this third chamber of parliament, a veto and ratification chamber where only 3% of the population get to order the rest of us to "pay the rent", and this comes at a time when Australia is a rapidly failing state. These people are extremely dangerous, and they are in government.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge
@@NooninParticular-cq6ov there was a type of farming and aquaculture but not like in Europe and Asia. It was subsistence but still a type of farming.
Thanks for that info
Fark Emu is still being lauded by the ABC though Lol
I could be wrong but I think it is also still on some school reading lists, which is ridiculous.
Well, the ABC and its viewers ARE easily impressed lol
Yes and just yesterday they were promoting the church of Satan
For decades our schools and Australian society in general has attacked, shamed and reviled European heritage, while conversely literally inventing, exaggerating, and simply fantasising over Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ‘culture’.
The generational attack, offensive,assault on muti-cultural Australia has left us divided, and embarrassed of Australia’s wonderful past.
No, no ,no ,Pascoe means that the indigenous peoples where like the Flinstones, yabadabadoooo.
Pascoe plays to a market that wants to believe anything that might lend support to the black armband view of Australian history.
exactly this; the aboriginal industry plays to socialist ideology for ongoing sit down money..
spot on
I think the voters for The Voice may now just hear a little squeak.

or how about Bruce 'Pinocchio' Pascoe? 😁

You must be channeling the Donald !!
Lots of ABC presenters need to do the right thing and resign over dark emu
So should Albo come out and apologise for misleading parliment
Congrats to Bruce Pascoe for winning the Best Fiction Writer award of the year!
This is why I was a sceptic about the Agriculture claim "One of the most profound transitions in human existence was the development of agriculture. It fuelled an increase in the global population". When the Europeans arrived the Australian Indigenous numbers just weren't there.
What about recent claims that bruce isnt even aboriginal? Are we going to ignore that?
He's a fraud. Another one of these chancers who appropriate First Nations heritage in order to gain an advantage. He's been found out big time.
My mate shacked up with an Aboriginal lady, in Adelaide, you wouldn't believe all the lerks and perks he got , free food free beer, his lawn was cut for free, his housing commission rent was years behind and it was waived
No way it's yt comments wees gunna Doo a pile on 😅
Pascoe said that Aboriginal invented motorbikes.
Dont exaggerate, it was only bicycles.
😂😂😂 they didn't even know about wheels.
I guess they committed to net zero and that's why there was nothing left of their advanced agriculture when the British arrived.
Lol, bit like we will be soon.
Oh yes they were first climate protagonist, and did not used...artificial chemicals too...
One has to wonder that if the book had been true, the evidence would’ve been there for all to see in the the present days
Simple as that! But still beyond the left...
The ABC was all over Pascoe so it must be true
The ABC forked out One million to save journalist Louise Milligan, from the consequences of her untruths?
Journalist Louise Milligan has made a career at ABC smearing many innocent men?
Telling us Pascoes Dark Emu was a work of fact fits the ABC agenda
Yes. You can see the ruins of American Indian cities. The early American settlers and explorers wrote about the Algonquin Republic and noted its towns and house reminded them of European organization. Maize was the major grain which had been bred from tiny seeds to the food we can recognize now. The Anasazi civilization dried up too quickly but they were developing the grain of the pickle weed which if they had lasted longer could have become one of the staple grains of the world. The original tomato has been found -- its fruits are tiny as very small blackberries. Larger and more diverse varieties had already been developed so it looked like what we know today. All the foods cultivated and developed by the American Indians are in the grocery stores today.
(However, American Indians never invented a plow which limited them to just the most fertile areas along river banks. )
Is Pascoe claiming anything like that?
Wouldn't there be remnants of those advanced techniques to evidence? Or collective memory accounts of advanced techniques?
Pascoe has those memories from when he was smoking the happy backey
He got the information from a wise elder after parting with a slab
the thing that always amazes me (and which I have some knowledge) is indigenous astronomy. There is NO such thing.

Albo is a dreamer. Along with his abc dreamers.
Don't let the truth stand in the way of a "good story"..
I am currently on page 620 of a book titled 'The history of Austalian exploration from 1788 to 1888. There are many written accounts recorded by explorers of this time. There is NO mention of agricultural plantations.
There were plenty of Anthropologists and Historians active across the continent after colonisation recording Aboriginal customs and their way of living. That's for instance how we know of infanticide rates as high as 30% and cannibalism. Advanced agriculture is not something they would have missed and would definitely have been recorded if it existed.
Total Liar !
Most amusingly, Melbourne Uni displayed its scholarly acumen by appointing Pascoe Honorary Professor of Aboriginal Agriculture. LOL !
What faculty? Agriculture? My old uni has gone to the dogs it seems.
They're weak like that. Much better to take shelter in a comforting lie than an uncomfortable truth. The left hate being wrong. They hate anything that makes them feel bad....but at the same time they're not capable of making themselves happy either. Maybe such messed up people should just sit out of politics all together?
Pizzicle faculty
Universities are now centres for indoctrination producing graduates who can barely read and write and have zero critical thinking skills. Our workplace if full of them. Writing a comprehensible, grammatically correct sentence is beyond many of them. It is all fluff and no substance.
Albo Fudd , what a lack lustre leader we have there
Albino Emu
The Tropic of Nonsense 🍕
By Crazy Pascoe
Simply BS and it should be stopped
Prime Minister Albanese's previous endorsement of Dark Emu guarantees it won't win the 'Prime Minister's Award then. And also, if the ABC is expressly forbidden to advertise, then why is it allowed to constantly get away with promoting commercial products like books such as Dark Emu? Crickets......
If you are unfortunate enough to have a copy of dark emu inflicted upon you one of the many good uses that the rag can be used for is to light your BBQ.
Next to undo the thought of an actual Nation. More a lot of tribes who could hardly walk the land they occupied due to over growth, and fought with other tribes to maintain food stock. Stop building up a Prehistoric people to appear more connected and advanced than they where when Europeans arrived. Being on a huge island they had no chance to advance with cross pollination of ideas from more advance groups of people that advanced thousands of years prior. And stop falsely Identifying as it not actual good to claim to be something your not, you actually doing more harm than good.
these ABC journalists should be sacked for stupidly
Look no further than Tasmania, where the monuments to Aboriginal History and Their Achievements are on display !!
Yes the Apple Isle love the First Nations Race !!...

Genealogy Testing of so called Indigenous is a MUST for the massive financial benefits paid out to those claiming benefits. 51% only to receive the lucrative $$$$$$$.

Go go go for it the tellers of truth.
Having lived in the Northern Territory, been given a tribal skin name what I know as told to me is the indigenous tribes were mostly nomadic and followed the food & water.
They'd start at point A, go to B, C, D, E & F etc before ending up back at point A. This journey had taken them many years to get back around. The reason being that they had exhausted the source and out of necessity, had to move on to the next, then the next and so on.
By the time they moved from point A and returned back to point A the foliage and resources were replenished for the cycle to commence again..
Seems to me, Mr. Pascoe is as others have attempted to do, is rewrite history to favour a different and largely an untrue narrative.
These fictitious narratives are best left to story time before bed..
C'mon the abo's went to the moon first we all know that...

It is highly illustrative of how dramatically far we have fallen in regards to a fair go for everybody. Probably the most quintessential Australian trait.
Truth telling, here's a few that militant and resentful native Australians don't like to hear.
MYTH. The claim the constitution is a racist document in drastic need of reform is based entirely on myth.
RACE. Human rights should never be based on race.
SECOND VOICE. The proposed Voice will be a second one for those eligible. Other Australians will only have one voice.
So many Truth telling, lies deception, and falsehoods.
Repair our national unity, cease the government funded accusations and recriminations ‘witch trials’ against villainous white Colonialism, and the irreproachable, eternally virtuous Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. It's fundamentally harmful, perverse, and wrong. Either we’re (Australians) are all villainous, or we are all virtuous, race (culture) plays no part in this matter, circumstance!
Historical Truth telling. More Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders have died throughout history at the hands of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders than against villainous white Colonialists. Millions, tens of millions. This is human history. We are violent, we are ruthless, and we are not universally generous and charitable. Why is there no mention of this, if historically it is so fundamentally important to examine every conflict, war, and encounter since Colonisation?
The oldest evidence of humans in Australia is 47,000 y.a. Mungo Man. But he was from an earlier migration than today's native Australians.
Today's native Australians started arriving from Papua 30,000 y.a. and have been arriving ever since. Some "Aboriginal" ancestors arrived after the first fleet.
Native Australians are not indigenous, all humans evolved in Africa and they are not aboriginal, Mungo Man's people were the original Australians. Today's natives are just another wave of migrants.
But instead of us unifying under this historical fact, we’ve chosen to make this a race concerning race? Those here first are somehow better than those that arrived here more recently. Because this is how we should judge the quality of human beings? Additionally we should also group all people ethnically, because this is also now the most important element of a human being's character?
Might it have something to do with the fact: That this does not serve the current militant and resentful Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders representatives narrative. A narrative that has already invented much of what is accepted today as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders ‘culture.’
The generational attack, offensive,assault on muti-cultural Australia has left us divided, and embarrassed of Australia’s wonderful past. All to serve the self seeking, selfish interests of a very small militant, embittered and clearly corrupt organisation. The goal of separatism seems to be this small ‘elite’ group within an equally small group's agenda. This small ‘elite’ group has garnered a great deal of power, and influence thanks to some very clever, and less than honest use of every available manipulation available to them, especially the weaponization of race.
Let Australians have a unifying moment, for all Australians rather than, a them, us narrative. Let us also rediscover that although Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders may have been here first, Australia is a county of all Australians, for all Australians.
No, no, its what we want to believe that matters, because feelings are more important than facts. Thinking of writing a book about how the English settlers that came to Australia did so only after fighting and defeating the dark lord of Mordor with the aid of the elves and dwarfs. The current notion that we were all convicts was just a cover story to protect the innocent from knowing how close the dark lord came to destroying humanity. This is going to be a best seller I can feel it.
I can't help laughing and at the same time wondering if all these singers of praise have devoted as much effort into scrutinizing the climate debate. I think so. We know they placed as much effort into understanding Covid don't we.
I think a lot of indigenous people would like to kick Pascoe`s ass for his BS book
I have never read it.. maybe I should now.. quite frankly I try to stay out of the s***t storms the attention seekers try to create around them, but I am always up for something to read when there is nothing better to do... shrug, as I said I might actually have a look for it 😉
Never trust a single polemic to tell you the truth. It's very seductive. I remember when I was young certain books felt like "that's it!" and then you get older and realise you just got one perspective and there are many others.
They make it up as they go.
If that book actually wins I will walk backwards to Brisbane.

I think the Wizard of Oz is undenyable fact.
What's this left wing thing of the truth being negotiable? You people literally argue over the colour of the sky. Even aboriginals themselves know that their people didn't practice agriculture. Don't worry about it. Pretending otherwise is just more insanity.
Trust the science
He's a liar and he should be stripped anything has claimed
You're right about him, Bruce Pascoe is about as indigenous as Attila the Hun. However he has cashed in.
He looks about as aboriginal as Joe Biden
None of this actually helps indigenous Australians. It might be better to just split the billions between them evenly and get the yapping set off the gravy train.
If they could do all this 65000 years ago. I see no reason why us taxpayers should shell out 35 billion pa, to help them. They seem capable of solving there own issues.
I can think of a lot more truths I'd rather pursue.
Unless you were there you wouldn't know.
All of those named above are living in the Dream Time,as is the author.
I've said this before, a full DNA open test will sort this out. I have 10% Swiss does that make me Swiss. I guess if there is money in it huh!

The most advanced contraptions they had were fish traps.
Pissing out a fire
The earliest photographic images tell nothing of this. Is there any camera images in the book?
Parden my ignorance but does pascoe get money from the labour government in the form of a wage
Not from the labor government that I know of. However he is paid by Melbourne University, having been appointed by them as Enterprise Professor in Indigenous Agriculture.
