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.
