A. Willis, using exactly the same sources as Windschuttle, came up with a figure of 188 violent deaths, and another 145 rumoured deaths ; that Windschuttle's method excludes deaths of aborigines who were wounded, and later died ; that all surviving Aborigines transported by Robinson to Flinders ' Island bore marks of violence and gunshot wounds ' perpetrated on them by depraved whites '; that Windschuttle cannot deny that between 1803 and 1834 almost all Tasmanian Aborigines died, and the only evidence for disease as a factor before 1829 rests on a single conversation recorded by James Bonwick, and that Aboriginal women who lived with sealers did not, however, die off from contact with bearers of foreign disease ; that Windschuttle likened Aboriginal attacks on British settlers to ‘ modern-day junkies raiding service stations for money ’, whereas both colonial records and modern historians speak of them as highly ' patriotic ', attached to their lands, and engaged in a veritable war to defend it from settlement ; that by Windschuttle's own figures, the violent death rate of Aborigines in Tasmania in the 1820s must have been 360 times the murder rate in contemporary New York ; that Windschuttle shows scarce familiarity with period books, citing only 3 of the 30 books published on Van Diemen's land for the period 1803-1834, and with one of them confuses the date of the first visit by the French with the publication date of the volume that recounted their expedition ; that it is nonsensical to argue that a people who had wandered over an island and survived for 34, 000 years had no attachment to their land ; that Windschuttle finds no native words in 19th century wordlists for ' land ' to attest to such an attachment, when modern wordlists show 23 entries under ' country '.
