Mabo Revisited

By Paul Dillon
Mabo Revisited by Paul Dillon digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

This book is a penetrating and enlightening analysis of the High Court, Mabo No. 2 decision. It is the only scholarly work written about colonial settler/Aboriginal contact with an honest and forthright approach to the source material. The creation of a hereditary native title over land within mainland Australia will, in time, become an unreasonable burden and a substantial interference with the land use of the dominate landholder.

 The earlier reviews were flawed because the vast majority of commentators have been ill-informed intellectuals or one-dimensional ideologues trying to toe the Indigenous Industry's code of political correctness. The Black Armband school has allowed political partisanship to override honest research and sound conclusions. They approach the historiography of Australian Colonial Settler Studies with a fixed ideological axiom of resistance to invasion. Their articles and publications encourage unity of thought in support of this axiom by stressing and interpreting the historical sources and material in a tendentious and selective manner.

 An ill-disciplined and prodigal Indigenous industry of tax-funded agitators, propagandists, and cultural cringing white Jackey Jackeys has, for fifty years, levelled a continuous barrage of slanders and base calumnies against the settlement of Australia by white pioneers and explorers, ignoring the first-world standard of living now enjoyed. Australian taxpayer's funds are bleeding out because of political cowardice in the face of the haemorrhage.
