“Sometimes a decade arrives when nations have the chance to turn away from bigotry and selfishness and turn to their countrymen and women and embrace them as loved members of the human family. But do we have the ticker for it?”
Bruce Pascoe, Convincing Ground: Learning to fall in love with your country

“colonial settlers ignored the Aboriginal method, and that contemporary Australians still suffer from the result. The Aboriginal methods of land management were not just practical, but aesthetically pleasing.”
Bruce Pascoe, Dark Emu

“If we are to attempt to understand Indigenous philosophy it has to begin with the profound obligation to land.”
Bruce Pascoe, Dark Emu
