I haven’t been able to put this book down! From the very first page, this book is a thought-provoking masterpiece that challenges conventional narratives about Australia's complex societal landscape. With eloquence and insight, the author delves deep into the nuances of Aboriginal identity, colonization, and the modern-day Aboriginal industry, offering a compelling perspective that is both enlightening and empowering. Through meticulous research and poignant storytelling, the book unravels the myth of a black-and-white society, revealing the intricate shades of gray that define Australia's cultural fabric. By shedding light on the struggles of the minority of Aborigines who are living in despair, the author confronts uncomfortable truths with unwavering courage and compassion. What sets this book apart is its unwavering commitment to truth and justice. It bravely exposes the flaws of the Aboriginal industry, likening it to a cruel neo-colonial endeavor that perpetuates isolation and stagnation. However, amidst the darkness, the book also celebrates the resilience and success of those Aborigines who have integrated into wider society, offering a beacon of hope for a brighter future. With its compelling narrative and profound insights, this is not just a book; it's a call to action, urging readers to confront the complexities of Australia's past and present with empathy and understanding. A must-read for anyone seeking to broaden their perspective and engage in meaningful dialogue about reconciliation, identity, and social justice.

Terrible movie, and I mean terrible. The filter applied over the top makes it look cheap, especially the lighter scenes. The three original characters add nothing to the movie and their acting is terrible. Jeff Goldblums can’t act and his jokes fall flat, Laura Dern just can’t act and Sam Neill appears lost. DeWanda Wise has been thrust into the mix of big actors, probably because Universal realised they had not included any non-white characters in the lead roles throughout the whole franchise. DeWanda Wise’s character unfortunately is a nothing character, completely forgettable. They try to make her out to be gritty and badass yet she looks like she’s just walked off the red carpet to the back Oscars. Isabella Sermon offends both senses required to watch the movie, sight and sound. Her British accent sounds like the one you’d use to parody the accent. It’s painfully British. It couldn’t be more British. The way she talks sometimes makes her sound hard of hearing. If she’s not talking in that painful accent, she’s looking into the camera with big eyes and slowly blinking. The character she plays, the younger version of her mother is far more natural and pleasant compared to the entitled clone. The fact that she look like and is just as annoying as Greta Thunberg is the cherry on top. The movie also introduces us to what feels like 20+ characters in totally different locations in the first 45 minutes. Some are around briefly for one scene, others maybe two or three scenes. It’s hard to keep up and every single character has a different accent. This movie feels like it had two key objectives. 1. Somehow include the original cast with the new cast and 2. Tick as many diversity boxes as you possibly can. The more the better. And that’s not even talking about dinosaurs and plot holes.
