John Rossi's observations on the sexual imagery in the song "The Dreaming", which is in addition to the political message, cannot be totally discounted. After all, in the video Kate and her fellow dancers do masterbate a laser beam, and when she sings "pull of the Bush", her fellow dancers do pull on her. On the other hand, his accusation that Kate's depiction of the destruction of the Aborigine culture is inaccurate is unsupportable. Just like the native American cultures in the United States and most "primitive" cultures throughout the world, the Aborignal culture in Australia is in serious peril. Kate is not just singing off of the top of her head; she lived in Australia for a year. Furthermore, Rolf Harris, who is well-known to be quite familiar with Aborigine culture, helped with the song.
