So Pamela Stirling reveals herself as a most gullible fool. Not sure that's news but unlike her position, it is based on observable evidence.
The Press Council deserve a rocket too if they think that Bryderesque lying and sloppiness is now fine and dandy in the publications they have been granted rights of review over.
The press have been given certain protections based on corresponding standards of expected behaviour. If they want to welsh on the deal, then let's remove their protection from prosecution for publishing lies.

It would be a mistake in the other direction to see indigenous cultures as victims. I prefer a more hegemonic way of looking at cultural interactions over time. But that does require both parties to recognise the similarities and the points of difference.
