Wood-Jones believed that these early migrants got here by sea, in canoes, and that each one brought with him his missus and the kids. Wood-Jones also held to the opinion that Binghi brought with him the dingo—a domesticated Asiatic wolf—together with the dingo's missus. Botanists also lean to the belief that Binghi brought with him (for food purposes) the seeds of certain plants which are not considered to be indigenes of this country; a notable instance being Prickly Acacia (A. Farnesiana), bunkaman, of the blackfellows.

In November 1909 the Bulletin ridiculed the Australian Church Congress for uttering lamentations about the obvious passing away of "our black brother Binghi". What maddened the Bulletin was the tears from the advocates of the universal embrace. The bishops, the clergy, and all the other creeps had never been brave enough to say they wanted more Binghis in the world. To be born Binghi meant being black and often naked, to be a person who had an incurable tendency to lead a squalid life in a gunyah. Binghis, said the Bulletin, added nothing to the world's stock of knowledge.

I guess the sort of thing that happened to my mum has happened constantly to Aboriginal people over the years. That's why the whitefellas talk so much about which of us is full blood, half-caste, quarter-caste, and all that other rubbish. I reckon those kinds of images make people think that we are like that doll Pinocchio's father made out of a lot of different things. Who is going to come out with a long nose? Who is going to come out a dark colour, a light colour? Who is going to have curly, black, brown or blond hair? How are we supposed to answer when someone asks, 'But are you really an Aboriginal?' Of course we bloody are! Or when they say, 'Are you a quarter-caste or a half-caste?' Who cares? Why should I have to talk about which bit of me is black and which is white—it's all red when I cut myself.
text: Protectors took the mixed-race children, ‘half-castes’, ‘quarter-castes’, ‘octoroons’, from their parents, from their culture, raised the light-skinned ones white, at an orphanage, and trained the darker-skinned ones to be domestic servants for the colonisers.
