James Wilson-Miller: "But we can go back further if you want. And look at the resistance fighters of the contact period when we had the likes of Pemulwuy and his son Tedbury and others who actually fought to stop the development of the Cumberland Plains. As we now know it was more profitable by the invaders to give a distorted and untruism about - of those times. This denial of the truth portrayed those early resistance fighters as pests and outlaws because they were seen to have - had an adverse affect on the land of the newcomers dreams were they not subdued. And the likes of Pemulwuy and his son and others, as I said before, they fought to resist and resist they did. Their only crime was to fight for the freedom of their people's continued traditional existence from introduced laws which were totally alien to them."
