Now that two well-credentialed academics acceptable to the left have debunked Bruce Pascoe’s blindly acclaimed ‘history’ book Dark Emu as a work of largely fiction, we can also say it freely: it is, in short, dishonest. It is that dishonesty that gives it the stamp of authentic left-wing propaganda. 

Once were honest workers, but dishonesty is the currency of the new left in every aspect of politics and society.
