No massacre at Risdon Cove

by Keith Windschuttle

February 6, 2011

After this book, no one can now plausibly argue that Risdon Cove is a massacre site. John Owen’s book establishes beyond reasonable doubt that, as far as Risdon Cove is concerned, the case for atrocity does not stand up.

Left dictates history curriculum

by Kevin Donnelly

June 1, 2010
