Everything about Ron Brunton totally explained
Dr
Ron Brunton is an Australian anthropologist. He is currently the Director of
Encompass Research Pty Ltd and was a Director of the Board of the
public broadcaster, the
Australian Broadcasting Corporation for a five year term from
1 May 2003.
Prior to his appointment to the ABC Board, he was:
In his articles, Brunton has been highly critical of the
Bringing Them Home report on the stolen generations. He has also written scathing criticisms of both the
High Court's 1992
Mabo v Queensland decision and the
Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody. In addition, he enunciated the view that the "secret women's business" of the
Ngarrindjeri women during the
Hindmarsh Island bridge controversy was a fabrication, and came to the defence of the murdered
Dutch politician
Pim Fortuyn who called on
Muslim immigrants to
assimilate into Dutch society and culture. Prior to his appointment to the Board he was a harsh critic of the ABC itself, accusing it of being part of the "left establishment" and of being a "sucker" for "brainless comment".
Brunton's appointment to the ABC Board by the
Australian Government of
John Howard created controversy given his ideological partisanship. However, it continued that government's attempt to move the ABC culture to a political position more amenable to its own.
Encompass Research Pty Ltd is stated to be an organisation engaged in
anthropological and
socio-economic research, concentrating on
native title,
indigenous heritage,
immigration and
environmental issues.
Dr Brunton has published a range of research papers and books on anthropological issues and has lectured in anthropology at universities in Australia and at the
University of Papua New Guinea. He has also stood as an
expert witness in a number of
native title court cases across Australia, having been engaged by parties involved in native title
litigation.
