This post is about one of those little quirks sometimes found in historical figures. It might be nothing, but then maybe in the Post-modern world of history revisionism it was influential? Send us your thoughts!

How to have a Respectful Conversation - and Agree to Disagree
The bona fides of Bruce Pascoe
Dr Liz Conor - A Nominee for The 2020 Bruce Pascoe Award for Selective Photo Editing?
Is this an example of Privileged Whiteness and Complicity in the Appropriation of an Aboriginal Woman’s Image?
The ABC Quietly Issues a Disclaimer on Mr Pascoe
Have the Progressive Left Elites Realised that Choosing Mr Pascoe as their Vanguard may have Derailed Their Ambitions?
The ABC - 'A Noble Liar'?
‘How and why the ABC [BBC] distorts the news to promote a liberal agenda’.

“For political reasons, journalists of the left wanted to believe Pascoe was genuine and put up the blinkers to any contrary view. Now they must eat humble pie and admit they got it all wrong” - Michael Mansell, Chair, Aboriginal Land Council of Tasmania, 22 January 2020
Testing for Aboriginal Descent - is it a Brand New DNA ?
“AncestryDNA® has updated its ethnicity estimate reference panel so customers will now have the ability to see a possible genetic connection with the Indigenous communities of Australia.” - March 31st 2020
To Be, or Not to Be, Aboriginal - That is the Question
Is Aboriginality defined by one’s Race, or one’s Land, Tjurrunga, and Kinship, or maybe it is just a Social Construct and Personal Choice? Mr Pascoe has certainly got us all thinking.
Mr Pascoe's Ancestry
It is not the Australian community who are insisting that Mr Pascoe prove his Aboriginal ancestry – it is in fact, Mr Pascoe who is insisting that the Australian community accept his Aboriginal ancestry, so the burden of proof falls to the initiator, Mr Pascoe, to clear up any concerns regarding his alleged ancestry.
Thanks to Mr Pascoe, we are all historians now, even Stan Grant and Peter FitzSimons

Emperor Pascoe's Chinese Nirvana
Mr Pascoe shares a bleak comparison where, instead of Australia being colonised by the ‘cultured and kind Chinese’, we instead got the ‘cruel, almost barbaric Christians’. Are you disappointed Mr Pascoe? Really?
Only one of these men has been elected to Parliament – so why might the other two also have a Voice in Parliament if the Uluru Statement is enshrined in our Constitution?
Because the Uluru Statement is asking us to accept that Indigenous Australians are ‘more equal’ than the rest of us.
