Pascoe’s “Black Duck”, another flight of fancy . .
Feb 8^th, 2024 at 8:58am

Pascoe is big on Google, many entries of praise and recognition for his historical and ground breaking [pun] work in restoring the utilisation of native grasses as a crop that will save Australian farmers and benefit the world.
Only Quadrant disagrees and are insensitive enough to publish where the money, grants and donations, goes.
There is also mention of the native grass seed flour that his enterprise is producing; Coles and Woolies are said to be worried.

But he is a genuine and proud Rorta Rorta man, of course one doesn’t need to be Aboriginal to be a member of that tribe.

I have the book here - I've actually had it since the early pandemic when I took it out of one of my local street libraries that started up. I think it was one of the preschool ones - which is a bit worrying if they're teaching this stuff to toddlers!

Anyway, it's still in the same pristine condition as when I got it as I find I can only take it in small doses. And maybe that was also the case of the previous owner.

I also took out another book a few days ago. This one is Journey into Dreamtime by (Aunty) Munya Andrews. In the blurb about the author it says she was born to an aboriginal mother and Scottish father and is proud of her aboriginal and Celtic heritage. This one might be a bit easier to digest.

Ah, excellent, someone who has read the book, which far more than anyone else here. What annoys me is that critics like Gnads and so on, never read what they are criticising, they just mouth off their tired old Racist mantras. Now you claim you can only take it in, "small doses", why is that? Is the writing bad or are the facts hard to digest? For me, it is just another part of our rich tapestry of history. We have competing claims, those of the Colonists and those of the Indigenous people. Personally they need to be examined and if necessary dismisses. The weight of evidence appears to be on Pascoe's side of the argument at the moment. Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes

You mean, one doesn't have to be (racially) Aborigine to be a part of the Yuin Tribe? No you don't - you can participate in Yuin Aboriginal culture. Just like you can be black and from Africa to gain 'citizenship' and suddenly be 'British'.

So racially, he is not Aborigine.
Culturally he is Aboriginal.
...if the Australian Government allows people to 'cash in' via benefits for being Aboriginal, beyond Aborigine. Then the Government is more to blame.

I've read THE GREATEST REAL ESTATE ON EARTH by Gammage.
It was a great read and makes one feel prouder about this country's worth and all things from the perspective of 'the Land', rather than the Political or Media views of this country.

Dark Emu reminded me much of that Book by Gammage.
It gave me great amazement about another level of this country, that Whities have NOT produced really. Wether it is 51% factual or 97% factual - it showed a new stimulus angle and perception. Sure, it may be 'stylised with some added exaggeration' put on it - but definitely no different to many other Whitey books out there pumping it out in the same way.

Also, there isn't really any substantial works on such a Topic to counter or disprove or prove otherwise. So until there is, I'm happy to go along with Pascoe's interpretation.
Some people took the advice of this land through the eyes of racists, bigots and uneducated.
Gammage took it from the educated, the Surveyors and the more authentic.

So I'll just keep running with the 50/50 until some Whitey really does pump out the truth of the matter, or an Aborigine adds more to it.

Dark Emu? Might be exaggerated, might be propaganda, might have some facts. But it was a great read and says something better of this Land.
The main fact is, at least 'something' is out there - where Whitey has given nothing.
