I had been optimistic that 2023 would be the final year in which the non-Aboriginal GuriNgai Cult would be able to blatantly and repeatedly disregard the laws, lore, Culture of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people alike. Investigations are underway and literally hundreds of thousands of people are now both aware of the GuriNgai and who they really are, and have the evidence of GuriNgai crimes in the palm of their hands.
Currently there are state and federal criminal investigations underway, as well as investigations by both the NSW and Commonwealth Ombudsman, ASIC, ICAC, the Australian Taxation Office as well as internally and externally with the Office of the Registrar of Indigenous Corporations
Yet of course the GuriNgai Cult continue on.
It took this long before I received the next threats to my and my families safety. This time from English born ‘Sovereign uncle’ Colin Hayter.
Colin was one of the small group of pseudo-historians with messianic delusions of self importance that have gravitated to the tree Beverly Spiers dubbed the ‘grandmother tree’ within the last 2 decades.
Colin was upset the graffiti site dubbed the Kariong Glyphs had been disturbed during scheduled maintenance on the National Park. Such was Colin’s rage that he decided I was a suitable target. The authorities were advised and Colin Hayter wisely decided to keep his threats to himself.

Conclusion.
The current membership of the Guringai Tribal Link Aboriginal Corporation is made up of 49 people. The 2021 Census tells us the Central Coast is home to 17,047 Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people.
Yet this small group have made a disproportionately negative impact not just on their local area, but Australia wide. They demonstrate no regard for actual Aboriginal community or culture, as evidenced by their actions alone, and less regard for the millions of non-Aboriginal people they have duped.
That there appears to be no accountability either internally or externally is deeply saddening.
Publicly available financial reports show that Guringai Tribal Link Aboriginal Corporation alone recorded a profit of $320,346.40 from inception to today.
Keep in mind that this amount is only profit recorded through Guringai Tribal Link Aboriginal Corporation, and does not include Guringai Tribal Link, Awabakal and Guringai Pty Ltd, Guringai Tours, Guringai Tours Pty Ltd, Wannangini Pty Ltd, or Warren Whitfield’s now defunct Fire Stick Tours http://www.firesticktours.com.au.
These are only the companies I have looked into so far.
This project began as a collection of publicly available digital content relating to my confirmed Ancestor, Bungaree. In looking through troves of data I noticed that despite a Goolgle search for the term “sophy bungaree” collecting about 407 results (0.26 seconds), every single one of those results were placed ‘online’ by an affiliate of a Director of this so-called Guringai Tribal Link Aboriginal Corporation.
Not only was this apparent planting of pseudo-Aboriginal fiction pervasive; it was very, very obvious. Collecting as many examples as I could and placing them in a timeline led to the unescapable certainty that Mr Warren Whitfield cobbled together his idea of a “tribe”, using a collection of non-Aboriginal historian and Settler accounts, motivated by the discovery Bungaree is famous.
It has been immensely gratifying to find that my conclusions had been independently reached by many other Aboriginal People, and concerned professionals such as Dr Natalie Kwok, and Dr Laurence Paul Allen.
I would be remiss in not pointing out the contributions of brilliant historian Dr Keith Vincent Smith.
Warren Whitfield was correct that Bungaree is famous, but was wrong to believe he could claim him as his own without showing courtesy to his genuine descendants, or offering credible evidence of any kind.
This compilation of publicly available information is online for all the world to see, and confirms what many in the Aboriginal community have been saying for over two decades.
My hope is that viewing the larger picture shows the wider community what is already apparent to us:
the deliberate construction of a false, pseudo-Aboriginal Culture, centered around their self declared ‘Elders’, ‘Uncles’, and ‘Aunties’, profiting every step of the way, to the detriment of actual Aboriginal People.
I do not believe these people will stop misrepresenting themselves as Aboriginal, stop speaking on behalf of Aboriginal people, stop claiming a greater understanding of Aboriginal Culture than genuine Aboriginal people; the thought sickens me to my core.
I take solace from the idea that once enough people care enough to notice these self appointed Emperors have no clothes, the blatant harm they cause can be reduced, and relevant Authorities may finally be motivated to act.
To members of this Group who were unaware of what you are/were associated with, I’m deeply sorry for the pain you must be going through coming to terms with having the scales fall from your eyes. You are not alone, and far from the first to fall into such a scheme.
