281 that “Bolt has purported to catch Pascoe in the act of faking his Aboriginal identity, as if to cast doubt on the book itself through the use of a skin-tone chart.” This was, Rick Morton, argued, a culture war.Morton wrote “But Pascoe has long grappled with the necessarily murky past of his own identity. He secured agreement from Michael Mansell that Pascoe was not a Tasmanian Aborigine.
The complete ignoring of communal knowledge on identity is at odds with the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples that we have the right to determine our own identity or membership in accordance with our customs and traditions.For political reasons, journalists of the left wanted to believe Pascoe was genuine and put up the blinkers to any contrary view. The claim by outsiders to know better than Aborigines about who is Aboriginal is as low as it gets.Those who conveniently ignore Aboriginal communities stating that Pascoe is a white man do so for their own political reasons and in doing so are content to reduce Aboriginal community-derived information on who is legitimate to a byline. Anyone who challenges Pascoe’s bona fides on identity- is he an Aboriginal or a white man?- is labelled a right-wing opponent of his books. Also, most worryingly, is that Pascoe’s publisher, Magabala Books, have previously been exposed for promoting one of their other authors as being ‘Indigenous’, when in fact they were not. Bruce Pascoe (born 1947) is an Aboriginal Australian writer of literary fiction, non-fiction, poetry, essays and children's literature.As well as his own name, Pascoe has written under the pen names Murray Gray and Leopold Glass.He is a professor at the Jumbunna Institute for Indigenous Education & Research at the University of Technology Sydney. Actually the Bunurong are adamant that Pascoe is not one of theirs, and Tasmania’s clan led by Michael Mansell has outed Pascoe even more forcibly as “fake”. However, instead of Pascoe’s supporters dealing with facts they too have responded politically, muddying the waters around Pascoe’s claiming to be Aboriginal.Pascoe’s defenders have rolled two separate and distinct issues – Aboriginality of the author, and what he writes – into one. The Aboriginal Land Council of Tasmania has intervened in the debate over author Bruce Pascoe, saying it does not believe he has indigenous ancestry and should stop claiming he does. In Griffith Review66 Pascoe drops the Tasmanian connection altogether and says he “is of Bunurong and Yuin heritage and a member of the Wathaurong Aboriginal Co-operative of southern Victoria.”In response, Josephine Cashman, whose ex-partner is Yuin, denied Pascoe was at all Yuin and in the Sunday Age of 19th January, 2020 Boonwurrung Land and Sea Council says it does not accept Professor Pascoe “as possessing any Boonwurrung ancestry whatsoever”. This murkiness speaks to how such relationships on this continent progressed for so long – disguised by violence, shame, lost records and stolen children”, a view Marcia Langton also took.Leaving aside Pascoe’s books, is he a white man fabricating his Aboriginal claims?Bruce Pascoe openly admits he grew up as a white man. Michael Mansell, the Chair of the Aboriginal Land Council of Tasmania, has published a statement regarding Mr Pascoe, which we recommend as an up-to-date summary of the “Pascoe Controversy” as it now stands.. Photo Credits : MICHAEL MANSELL & BRUCE PASCOE. By necessary implication, Langton also disagrees with both the Bunerong and Tasmanian Land Council’s denials of Pacoe’s claim. Retrieved 24 January 2020. The Australian. Aboriginal Land Council of Tasmania chairman Michael Mansell disputes that Professor Pascoe has Tasmanian Aboriginal ancestry. ↑ Mansell, Michael (23 January 2020). Federal police have thrown out an investigation into claims that historian and author Bruce Pascoe financially benefited by falsely claiming to be Aboriginal.The complaint was lodged by Aboriginal businesswoman and lawyer Josephine Cashman, who has been vocal in her accusations that Professor Pascoe, author of acclaimed book But in a letter to Ms Cashman, made public on Thursday, the AFP said the matter had been closed. Michael Mansell, the Chair of the Aboriginal Land Council of Tasmania, has published a statement regarding Mr Pascoe, which we recommend as an up-to-date summary of the “Pascoe Controversy” as it now stands. “If I didn’t have my community, my law…we will survive Peter Dutton who walked out on our apology.” This suggests Aboriginal law from his Aboriginal community. For people to suggest we would deny a person their bona fide Aboriginal identity for political reasons is grossly insulting to we three particularly, and to the Aboriginal people we represent.
