The "Genocide"

by Tony Thomas

Peter Read invents the "Stolen Generations"

by Tony Thomas

May 12, 2010

From The Pocket Windschuttle: The “Stolen Generations” tag originated from a 1981 pamphlet of 21 pages by historian Peter Read, now Professor of History at Sydney University, who argued that children were removed to separate them permanently from the rest of their race.

Aboriginal Protector AO Neville

by Tony Thomas

May 12, 2010

From The Pocket Windschuttle: AO Neville did have some foolish ideas about ‘breeding out the colour’ by integrating half-castes into white society, except that for all his talk, he had neither staff nor funds to do anything about it, and it was logically impossible anyway.

Unstolen Generations in Victoria

by Tony Thomas

May 12, 2010

From The Pocket Windschuttle: In Victoria, numerous inquiries were launched to document Victoria’s complicity in ‘stolen generations’ policies.

The facts from the Northern Territory

by Tony Thomas

May 12, 2010

From The Pocket Windschuttle: Justice Maurice O’Loughlin - “Even though one forced removal would be regarded today as one too many, the numbers in the Administrator’s report, if accurate, do not support an argument that there was a large scale policy of forced removals occurring in this period.”

The attack on Harold Blair

by Tony Thomas

May 12, 2010

From The Pocket Windschuttle: Windschuttle concludes that the late Harold Blair now stands publicly condemned in Bringing Them Home for a holiday scheme that used false promises and lies to steal Aboriginal children. The charge was made on the basis of no substantial evidence whatsoever.

Targeting the War Memorial

by Merv Bendle

May 3, 2010

When What’s Wrong With Anzac? came out, why was there not even one eminent military historian apparently prepared to enter the lists to combat the deluded but highly destructive claims being made by its authors?

Culture warriors against Anzac

by Robert Lewis

April 25, 2010

When Henry Reynolds presented his condemnation of the Department of Veterans’ Affairs materials to an audience of history teachers in 2008 he had to acknowledge that he had not actually read any of the materials he was condemning.

Robert Manne's bad language

by Keith Windschuttle

April 12, 2010

Manne should apologize to the Aboriginal people of Australia for describing them in quasi-zoological terminology that, as he says himself, is the equivalent of using the word “nigger” without inverted commas.

Removing the Stolen Generations

by Robert Murray

April 12, 2010

Unless comprehensive rebuttal—not just cheap shots—follows, Windschuttle has demolished the Stolen Generations story—to such an extent that reputations would be at risk if it was about a less politically correct subject.

Manne avoids the real debate

by Keith Windschuttle

March 31, 2010

Robert Manne was unwilling or unable to engage in a genuine debate. Yet he knew that major sections of my book disprove the claim that Aboriginal children removed were as young as possible or that they were removed from their families permanently.

How the "Stolen Generations" was sold

by Keith Windschuttle

March 17, 2010

History of a tragedy

by Patrick McCauley

March 15, 2010

Without The Fabrication of Aboriginal History: The Stolen Generations - Australian history would be so incomplete as to be a lie. In fact, without addressing the Keith Windschuttle hypothesis, we end up with a history of another country.

The holes in the rabbit-proof fence

by Keith Windschuttle

March 8, 2010

The real Australia would never have stooped so low as to try to eliminate the Aboriginal race by stealing its children. The fact that the film has been a popular success is tell­ing. It shows that despite the best efforts of aca­demics and school­teachers to persuade us other­wise, Australia is not and never has been a country whose people would condone such practices.

The Saved Generations

by John Izzard

March 8, 2010

Keith Windschuttle continues the battle to save the soul of the nation’s history in what can only be described as a tour de force in both academic research and masterful writing.

Obsession with genocide

by Merv Bendle

March 8, 2010

It is difficult to imagine a more horrendous accusation that could be made against a country than that its history is rooted in genocide and that every generation - past, present, and future - are forever and irredeemably complicit in this primal atrocity.

AUDIO: Andrew Bolt on the Stolen Generations

March 8, 2010

Audio of Andrew Bolt launching Keith Windschuttle’s The Stolen Generations: “How could a university keep employing a Robert Manne, or a Peter Read or a Sally Morgan? I think this is a scandal, an utter scandal.”

The Sorrow and the Pity

by Philippa Martyr

March 1, 2010

Indigenous Australians, far from languishing in brute savagery under white domination, appear in the archives—and consequently in this book—as lively, irrepressible, audacious, ambitious, clever, eager, talented.

We knew these kids

by Joseph Lane

March 1, 2010

I taught for a year up near Port Augusta and mixed with an Aboriginal family in the town, so I was reported by my head for “consorting with natives and other undesirables”. When Maria and I got married in 1966, we enjoyed the frisson of being just three or four years outside of illegality.
