Indigenous critics
Maybe this page should mention the fact that the Bush Tucker man has been criticised for publicising and profiting from indigenous knowledge without their consultation or consent? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.15.35.100 (talk) 09:40, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

I hadn't heard of that criticism. Are there any online articles citing this criticism I could reference? I couldn't find any. (metastable 22:41, 28 November 2005 (UTC))

Me too. I have never heard of that criticism either. I've met Les before. He's a great person. I'm very much against profiting from indigenous knowledge without consultation and consent, and I never felt that Les did any of such thing.

I am not sure if it was criticism or if they were using Les as an example, but in a press kit for how to report some recent Aboriginal issues. I recall reading something about Les Hiddins and his team writing the 1987 survival guide did not pay tribe leaders for the knowledge. Apparently in the past, there has been example of things like 20 tin boats being paid by the Army in WWII to view and document an Arnhem tribe's meeting and a few local stories. I will endeavour to dig up the specifics, but I am sure it was speculative only suggesting it wouldn't be honest if local tribes were not paid for their knowledge.

Corrections please
What is the correct spelling of the Subject's name? (it is spelt both 'Hiddens' and "Hiddins")

Did he receive the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM), or was he made a Member of the Order of Australia (AM)? Both are used, only one can be correct.Zurgzurg (talk) 05:45, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

I can only find reference to his name being spelt as Hiddins and according to this site http://veteransanctuary.tripod.com/hiddins.htm he recieved the OAM. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kowtoo (talk • contribs) 20:38, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
