- Sky News host Andrew Bolt has slammed the ABC’s new documentary called ‘The Dark Emu Story’ which explores the impact of Bruce Pascoe’s book ‘Dark Emu’.
“Four years ago, the ABC and Screen Australia … said they were behind a new project promoting the man behind what is in fact our biggest literary fraud, Professor Bruce Pascoe,” Mr Bolt said.
“And last night, four years on, we finally saw the results on the ABC. I watched, and wow. The ABC, you just cannot trust it at all.”
I lost it when they said those pile of sticks was the first house in Australia 🤣

Re-writing of history is going on everywhere.
Re-writing, dismantling and tearing down our history.
And the wilful ignoring of the science and genetics of sex.
@@tiddlesa.6125 Yep. I come from convict stock, about a couple of hundred years ago we would have been embarrassed, now it's acceptable. And it's more valid than Pascoe's book. Langton needs not to be interviewed to add more b/s to the equation. As for fish traps, more advanced fish traps were invented by Sth. East Asians ages ago.
Pascoes books had significant quotes from early explorers like Charles Sturt
Not that anyone listening to Bolt would ever learn
Socialists always project...1984 is the greatest example
I am a direct descendant on my mother’s line of a convict on the First Fleet. His name is Noel Cavanagh. My father’s side of the family migrated here from Scotland between 1921-22. Apropos to the latter, my nan told me she recalled the day the ship they travelled on arrived in Sydney, disembarking where the current cruise ship terminal happens to be. Nan said after being processed by immigration they were bundled into a horse drawn cart and taken to Central railway station. There they were greeted by charity/care workers there and given food and orientation talks.
After a couple of hours having refreshments and settling down, four of the male members of the Meek and Ferguson families (along with others) were met by people from coal mining operations in Lithgow, and soon shuffled away to board a train that would take them to Lithgow to commence work. The hours at the mines were spread over 5 and a half days, accumulating to a 50-hour week.
Around 40 years later, I would attend family get-togethers (as I recal, they'd be at least 40 people) and I remember how sick some of thev older men folk were. My dad was to tell me later that they were afflicted with black-lung disease from working in coal mines.
I could go on with my family's history, but I think you all get the picture. But in case you don't, the salient point I'm making is that, NONE of my forebears had it anything but friggin tough. However, as it was in other Western nations, by the 70s life became a whole lot easier than bygone days: but this only came to pass because of the efforts of the previous 3 to 7 generations of people working in abysmal conditions to lay the foundation's that made Australia the fantastic place it became.
And, don't you ever forget, Mr. Pascoe, those gruelling efforts by immigrants means that, Indigenous people can have afluent and decent lives, too, if they're prepared to put in the time and effort to attain it.
Wonderfully said and oh so true, the indigenous race have only themselves to blame for their plight and like their counterparts across the Tasman they are reluctant to accept any responsibility. They will NEVER be satisfied no matter what we give them
Well put.
Well said.
This is the “inconvenient truth” no one cares to mention.
Gruelling efforts. And vast natural resources, the massive advances in mining that allow us to take advantage of them and make a motzah selling them to Japan and China.
The invention of a host of things that didn’t exist in those early days. Eg cars, refrigerators, the internet, etc etc
Do you think Pascoe isn’t aware of that??
As you * only mention one kind of thing that happened decades ago, maybe you have. Hard work decades ago certainly isn’t why we were called the lucky country
@@richardgrant418 The reason that I only “mentioned something that happened decades ago” is for three reasons, which I will convey in a congealed manner.
First, and foremost, I can speak confidently that those points I wrote about actually occurred.
Second, my family members, as it was with every other person’s family who got off a seafaring vessel after weeks, if not months in filthy and confinded conditions, and landed in the US, Canada, NZ, and Oz , pre-1965-70, as an immigrant all had a simple choice to make: SINK OR SWIM. It was only post-1970 that immigrants were ceded assistance from governments to settle in to their adopted homes.
In every one of these aforementioned spheres, there were opportunities to improve one's lot in life. My ancestors, and the extended family's enduring efforts makes me proud. Rather, than as the Wokeists want me and, indeed, others to feel of having a deep sense of guilt and shame - once more, this is applicable to all and sundry - for what transpired.
Third, being able to look back in time and admire the efforts of one's kin is the innate component, which gives someone their sense of identity: therefore, it engenders a sense of purpose.
Tragically, the social-engineers in Western societies have systematically dismantled these nuances: all in order to engender what Pink Floyd sang about in thier song, 'Another Brick in the Wall.
Incidently, the British ruled India for two centuries: the last 100 years was via the Raj system of divide and rule. Today, in the English Speaking world, it goes under the guise of multiculturalism. The grave negativity with that, however, is that it doesn't apply to those people of Anglo/Celtic heritage.

Places are being renamed back to their Aboriginal known names, but why did the British give them the names we know? to make them identifiable to the people who had come to live here. The Aboriginals gave these places their names for the same reason when they arrived. What were these places known as before The Aboriginals arrived? Do they have the monopoly on naming places to identify them?

A great subject well done Andrew, He appears to be, delusional and over-exaggerates the truth.
I was at a corporate meeting today and the chair did a WTC.
Even spoke about the wonderful engineers and scientists that were here.
I had to do a double look... Hmmmm
You should have challenged the lies.
In order to hold a "civilization", city state or society together you need a lingua franca (a common language), something that never appeared in per-colonized Australia.
Two other inventions ; apart from the wheel, that never appeared in early Australia were metals and ceramics, which were comm to nearly every other society across the planet and were arguably the first technologies developed by mankind.
Not even baked clay.
They were quite expert at wood carving, all without machinery.
@@av_oid True. They were also pretty nifty weavers, and they invented the boomerang; but that is not the point I was making.
Oh... and their bark paintings are beautiful too; bit none of these things are signifiers of an organized society or civilization as many tribal hunter gatherer groups across the world and throughout history have done likewise (minus the boomerang of course).
@@stevious7278 Aboriginals invented nothing. Boomerangs were used by peoples the world over, boomerangs have been found in ancient Europe, Egypt, and North America.
One boomerang that was discovered in Obłazowa Cave in the Carpathian Mountains in Poland was made of mammoth's tusk and is believed, based on AMS dating of objects found with it, to be about 30,000 years old. Ancient Egyptians had "returning boomerangs". Aboriginals didnt invent boomerangs, they were just unique in that they had never advanced beyond boomerangs like peoples in other parts of the world had done many thousands of years prior.
You might want to learn about boomerangs before you go claiming aboriginals invented them. The only thing uniquely Aboriginal about boomerangs is the word 'boomerang' came from them, but peoples the world over had their own names for their throwing sticks which are lost to time.
@@stevious7278 There is a boomerang in the Cairo museum. Think about that for a second.
If this where true, the Ozzy aboriginals, would have been advanced enough to have settled on other continents. We know the Vikings did it.
Are you advanced enough to spell simple words properly? Apparently not.. LMAO..
I have a grey beard and like Stan Grant, I’ve got a tan. Im ticking the indigenous box next time cause no one is going to fact check my declaration for more benefits.
in that show Stan said he grew up with aboriginals on both sides of his family, and I may be getting old and forgetful, but I seem to remember not long ago he was a sad little boy without a tie growing up with his white parents ??? Him and Pascoe are a good pair.
I was hoping they lived in cities because they then couldn’t claim all the Gold Coast because you could dig up the remains of towns and give them a few acres. If they were a wandering society they can claim big areas. Can’t have it both ways. I never believed him.

Another ABC mockumentary by a white guy and called Dark Emu
Necessity is the mother of invention. With Australia being as large as it is, hunter gatherers wouldn't have had the need to farm, set up any kind of permanent settlements, or develop tools to till the soil or store produce. It was far better to follow the necessities of life around. Even if they had these fish traps; it doesn't mean they were farming fish. They just found a different way of hunting them.
And without towns with populations to count, there was no need to develop a system of math where one can count above 50
@@jschap712 lol.
And fish traps (if that’s what they were) are like fishing now, a form of gathering, not “farming”.
Aboriginal tribal culture was very efficent regarding food provision. The men would hunt for large protien which was not always gauranteed while the women would gather and dig for known and reliable sources of food. This relationship should be celebrated rather than denigrated as it sustained 65,000 years of continual existence.
@@SingaporeSling1 Hunter / gatherer societies formed everywhere. Animals also hunt and gather food. It is a basic skill of living creatures that don't survive on grasses or photosynthesis.

Perhaps do some research and then you'll know. Or are you going to dismiss the science like a flat earther? Good job muppet!
A follow-up to the series "The First Inventors," based on the same book and presenting the same lies.
You're in the same world as creationists and flat earthers there. Well done! You must be proud! Sorry, but science can't lie.. Too bad that reporters can and that idiots believe them.. What about the first hand accounts of explorers the science is based on? Have you read them? Obviously not, perhaps you should shut up until you do, you're making an idiot of yourself. But then again, this is Sky News, at least you're in good company..
Did not the last full blood Tasmanian aboriginal die in the late 1880’s? This raises the question what is an First Nation aboriginal? Especially Tasmanian. And of course there were 300 tribes plus or minus so I believe, and of course they all loved each other (I think not). The real question is as I see it when is a joke a joke?
there was many more then 300 tribes... there was about 300 different language groups.
A fish trap in a river could not possibly be older than the pyramids. Rivers, one might be surprised to learn, cause erosion. The course of rivers changes over time. Silt is transported by the water and accumulates in places of alterred flow. The stones would be quickly covered in sand if not constantly tended and the course of the river would change, leaving them as buried rocks on a flood plain.
And?

If only there was a wheel or a piece of woven fabric. Can't get around it. Aboriginal tribes and clans were living a Stone Age existence. This conversation is the result of efforts to change the constitution. I find my history a little humiliating, coming from the class structure in the UK. In Australia, that class system does not exist, and I thrived by adopting the Australian culture and way of life… But to reinvent my history or the history of England is stupid. Of course, England is not the same country of 60 years ago, but the same phenomena are occurring with sections of the population there reinventing history, claiming absurd scientific, engineering and musical contributions of populations by people who did not exist. This phenomenon will continue to grow, as history is reinvented.
Pasoce is as much an aboriginal as a person whose never been to Australia 😊
It’s actually quite racist of Pascoe to denigrate Aboriginal people for being hunter gatherers in my honest personal opinion. It’s all quite desperate unfortunately. Jared Diamond in Guns, Germs and Steel discusses why people in the northern hemisphere developed agriculture, from which grew civilisations. Australia and Aboriginal people prior to European settlement where very isolated and didn’t have access to other societies. As such they didn’t get exposure to different ideas they could then build upon. Also in Australia we had no animal species that leant themselves to domestication. Even today the only indigenous plant that has been domesticated is the macademia nut.
It’s quite appalling in my view that people want to denigrate Aboriginal people in this way to use phrases like mere “hunter gatherers”. It was an accident of isolation and geography that Australia had no plants or animals suitable for the kind of domestication that occurred in the fertile crescent. It doesn’t diminish Aboriginal people because the geography of their home lead to the circumstances they found themselves in. They were intelligent, resourceful people. As evidenced by the fact that once exposed to agriculture and different technologies people adopted them quite quickly. It’s actually a pretty sad reflection on people that they are ashamed of something that is in no way shameful.
Spot on
actually in Darwin they were trading with the Indonesians. I think, (my memory is hazy), they learned basket weaving from them. There are tamarind trees in Darwin that are the legacy of sharing crops.
@@ssp4795 Sounds reasonable, there must have been exchange, somebody brought the dingo over from 8000 to 4000 years ago.
Every race has its strengths and weaknesses, there are beautiful things about aboriginal culture. However lies will increase conflict. Society functions best with the truth. Lies and deceit and those that propose it are the most evil amongst us. If the shit hit the fan tomorrow and we had to live off the land, I'm sure a lot of remote indigenous people will be thought of as saviors, black trackers, etc, why don't we celebrate the strengths of each race instead of fabricating illusions? There's nothing shameful in being from a hunter-gatherer society, once white people were and other cultures, it's just the isolation that indigenous people were exposed to and the lack of conflict that caused a harmonious environment with nature. It's like the Indigenous Americans who followed the buffalo and predominantly lived in harmony. The Vikings, had the same sort of thing, respect for nature and paganism. What is there to be ashamed of that? A deep connection to the earth which some pure bloods that I've seen have is a miracle to observe. Why lie? Technological advancement from the West has brought a lot of things, but it has also brought a lot of curses. The further we drift away from the old ways, the more dependent on government, and corporations we become. Self sufficiency equals freedom.
You make a good point about appreciating what is good in different cultures. You also make a good point about not telling lies. For the sake of the truth, then, it has to be acknowledged that aboriginal tribes did not live in harmony, they fought among themselves fiercely. And in their culture women were treated very badly. That has been documented in serious and reputable anthropological studies.
Thank you, I’m proud to be a descendant from hunter-gatherers. We didn’t invent the wheel - I’m okay with that!

Pascoe acknowledges his debt to the work of Rupert Gerritsen, who in 2008 published Australia and the Origins of Agriculture, which argued that some Aboriginal people were farmers as much as hunter-gatherers.
>
Pascoe also draws on the work of historian Bill Gammage, author of The Biggest Estate on Earth: How Aborigines Made Australia (2012), which looks at how Aboriginal people used fire, dams and cropping to support themselves sustainably in their environment

The aborigines did invent the wheel. Unfortunately, it was square and never caught on.
I think you will find that with the way our great current leaders in nato USA and Ukraine are carrying on we will all be back to trying to survive but a lot harder
I call crapola on this amazing race story. Their descendants prove its newtruth!
The only part of Pascoe that's black is his heart.
Unlike the other continents populated by humans, Australia was isolated for much of the last 60,000 years of occupation. So overseas travel, trade, and the transfer of technology was virtually non-existent, until 1788. This explains the absence of any advancement to higher technology, such as that relating to ceramics, metals, and the wheel. Also there was no necessity, and no need, for the Australian Aboriginals to further advance their technology.
The Polynesians covered distances of 2000kms the populate the Pacific Islands. The Vikings crossed up to 3500kms from Norway to North America. Even the Aborigines must have cross the 300 kms from the mainland to Tasmainia. But the 300km from New Guinea to Cape York, or the 500km across the Timor Sea were somehow completely impassible, isolating Australia from any contact with other civilizations until 1788? Did you forget the Dutch made it here in the 16 century? Give me a break.
Very lazy people.
Where is the Documentary on Tribal Wars between Aboriginal Tribes ?

What’s wrong with being a hunter gatherer? You can’t argue that isn’t that is an achievement. Or are we saying they farmed the wombats?

Same bs about the Maori in NZ. Claiming that a stone age culture had science conflating their pagan animus religion with all the advances that were made by different civilisations over thousands of years. Mathematics, written languages, the wheel, vast cities, irrigation systems, metal working, maritime travel, the list of achievements far in excess of aborigines and Maori. The really annoying part of this is that it wasn't Europeans that invented any of this it was in what we call the Middle East and in Asia. Getting really tired of the painful efforts to drag us back to said stone age instead of looking to the future where any one with the drive and ambition can be whoever and whatever they want.

Let's all Join LNP and also tear that repugnant Treaty Qld's Barren Refugee Muslims Callgirl Premier is signing with the aboriginals which will lead to a lot of Qlders losing their houses , other properties as well as access to a lot of roads,parks,rivers and highways...
Compared to the Great Pyramids… hahahah someone has just won Wednesday Night!!! Hhaha
Can Pascoe provide ANY archaeological evidence? Where can we go to see it?
He found some burnt dirt in a river bank wall once.
As for disparaging Pascoe as lying about his ancestry …
Pascoe has acknowledged that his Aboriginal ancestry is distant, that he is "more Cornish than Koori"
Are you happy now, Andy?
Oops, you probably already knew that. If you had bothered to do more than 15 minutes of research, before you began your trademark derision
The ABC , Australia's version of "Pravda"
“Real News, Honest Views” … and you call Pascoe fraudulent??
If that’s not the biggest hypocrisy I’ve read in the last couple of years ….
If that story is “honest” ie sincere, then it’s about as “real” or properly researched as a primary schoolboy’s rushed homework
What I don't understand is why people think they need to be ashamed of not being as technically advanced. Technology and innovation occur as a result of environmental and social pressures. Other places in the world had harsher and less stable environments. As populations grew, tribes grew larger, and there was more and more contact, and conflict, with other groups. Hunter-gatherer lifestyles were abandoned in favour of more stationary lifestyles because it was safer. Security and food security became easier to manage in a stationary lifestyle. It was simple pragmatism.
Yes, civilizations rose and fell in other parts of the world - because they weren't able to maintain the stability necessary to continue on.
Aboriginal societies obviously didn't have the environmental pressures, their populations didn't expand excessively like the populations in other parts of the world, so far less conflict over land and resources, and the way their societies were run was very stable. Up until the Europeans arrived, it was probably the longest running continuous, uninterrupted civilization. I would think that would be something to be very proud of.
They didn't advance technologically because they didn't need to, not because they weren't capable of it.
Hello, :) with respect, have you researched the history of the aboriginal, the way the woman and children were treated, the young girls reaching puberty and what happened to them, the tribal traditions, the warrior aboriginal who killed their own people in conflicts with other tribes. Why didn't the population of the aboriginal grow over the thousands of years?. When the Europeans arrived it was not an uninterrupted civilization. Civilization definition is "an advanced state of human society, in which a high level of culture, science, industry, and government has been reached. those people or nations that have reached such a state". There is nothing wrong not being technically advanced but it is wrong to tell non truths and deceive people with that non truth, that goes for anyone everywhere.
Simple things children could construct don't cover for the lack of technological sophistication found when the English arrived.
Thanks
You should sue them for defamation. Everyone else has. 😆
On being Aboriginal. As far as I was able to work out. One does not need to have any aboriginal ancestory (genetics) to be accepted as aboriginal. You simply need to be accepted as being culturally aboriginal by and already accepted Aboriginal clan/mob. As Pascoe meets this criteria he can rightly claim to be Aboriginal. I think one reason for this is that there are a lot of Aboriginals that done appear to have very much Aboriginal genetics at all, so, they kind of have to accept cultural Aboriginals. As strange as this seems its probably better than the 1st American system where (as I understand it) one needs a certain % of genetic material. That system discourages mixed marriages as you may find your children dont qualify to live on your lands any more.
Absolute rubbish.You must have some aboriginal DNA to be called aboriginal.That is pretty basic stuff!
If you were born somewhere you are an Aboriginal of that place, my ancestors were of the original tribes of Britain, I am an Aboriginal of Britain.
@@stevewiles7132 You are also an Indian. However over time the meanings of these words have been used to refer to specific peoples (although the original meanings still apply as you pointed out).
Well if if have a tenuous genitic connection you probably don’t deserve to live on native land.
No one has domesticated any Australian animals. Wheels are useless unless you have something to pull the wheeled cart. Hunting/gathering requires a good deal of ingenuity.
Yeah, first stay off the piss.
Spot on Bolty
No doubt the ABC will be the frontrunner as the talking head for the new Labor Ministry of Truth.
Ok if that's true why is the land held by aboriginals not farmed, why are there now fishing businesses etc run by aboriginals or outback communities thriving from innovation. This is all to say they have a rich culture so vote "yes" why be ashamed of living off the land is that where they are connected to sacred lands.. they were isolated longer than anyone else. Own it.
Ha ha that’s hilarious!😂

the main thing is that they are still allowed to get all funding and funds that some how there all entitled to no matter what yet want more and more and more 🤷♂️
Isn’t it just Tom Terrific that in Australia we have free speech.
Yeah we have free speech, but for leftist or progressive speech only! No conservative free speech though!
What Australia are you living in ??? Your not allowed to say things that might hurt someone's feelings or call people by their colour our your racist... free speech what a joke. Unfortunately I'm old school and say what I want and if that affects the politically correct ... get over it... sticks and stones will brake your bones, but names will never hurt you.
@@grahammooney7420 it's the leftist marxist way of changing our way of life.
