'I do not share the desire of many historians and commentators to denounce sweeping me the white history of Australia in order to enthrone the Black history and present-day Aboriginal demands. Nor is there merit in opposite extremes of denouncing black history as barbaric.' <snip> Geoffrey Blaney's Short History is a broad vision of this nation's achievements. Blaney's history teaches us that we are our past and the future belongs to those who remember."
