Brad Twynham is a particularly interesting variety of GuriNgai, far more suited to the world of comic books than the baffling real world in which he finds himself.
Bradley seems to consider himself ‘smart’ and the people he surrounds himself with support this notion, through a mixture of misplaced sympathy, befuddled admiration, and tragic deficiencies in relative intelligence.
Mr Twynham appears intent on playing some sort of game with me, in which I am an unwilling participant, yet Bradley disregards my lack of consent with frighteningly casual ease.
When I meet with most of the Senior Figures of the GuriNgai Cult in January 2023, Bradley was away, and so fell off my radar.
The most I knew of Bradley Twynham was that he began appearing in my GuriNgai data tranches last year.
I gave Bradley’s website and social media accounts a cursory glance, noted that he appeared to be a run-of-the-mill motivational speaker brand of huckster – who had recently, albeit inconsistently, began appropriating Cultural elements into his snake-oil presentations. I made some mental notes, and moved on.
Then Bradley Twynham began sending me unsolicited messages over Facebook Messenger; a lot of messages.

JD, I have read in detail your stuff. It is full of holes, it is not well researched and most importantly it is culturally inappropriate. This is not the way we conduct ourselves culturally. Your work is full of ego and has a sole purpose of hurting good people for your own gain. In our culture people who act this way we refer to as “doomalangs.” If what you have said was even true you are as bad as the people who you posit are fraudsters. I keep my invitation open to you that if you want to come and sit on country with our men and discuss this openly the invitation is there.

Ouch! Well thank you for the feedback.
Could you expand on: “If what you have said was even true you are as bad as the people who you posit are fraudsters.”
Bradley
If we are to have any further conversations it won’t be over messenger or social media it will be face to face on country surrounded by our ancestors who will ensure the truth is heard and understood and everyone has a voice.
JD sent
Yeah, you’re in a cult dude, sorry.

I have sat with the men in desert country who have not gone through the same decimation our people have and I can tell you based on your definition of cult our entire culture is a cult.
Bradley
I am not talking the Guringai culture I am talking aboriginal culture in general, across Australia.
Bradley
The way I was taught by men in the desert.
Bradley
JD so we are clear. I have not asked you for more. My initial feedback to you is that it is full of holes. Have you read the Flinders Journals dating back before 1803 when he did his original survey of Broken Bay. You may want to read that.
Bradley
Hve you read Sir Joseph Banks journals from the same time. I don’t mean someone elses research on it. I actually mean the journals themselves.
Bradley
You won’t find them online BTW you will actually need to make a request to the National Archive and go and sit in a room and read them with someone watching.
Bradley
If you really want know the truth. That’s where the information is and even then it is only the truth through European eyes.
Bradley
The rest of the truth is written in the pectogliphs and in our songlines that those carvings show. If you have not walked those song lines and asked the hard questions then all you are left with is assumptions.
Bradley
That’s your logic and in my opinion that’s floored logic. You can’t rip people down without providing an alternative narrative. Whats your alternative narrative?
JD sent
I’m not ripping people down, I’m pointing out an obvious truth that other missed. Howie and Whitfield are grifters
Bradley
You are ripping people down JD. You can deny that all you like and you can tell me I am in with the GuriNgai for syaing that but you are tearing people down without providing an alternative viewpoint.

I started investigating as I knew something wasn’t right. The resulting investigation was finding out what wasn’t right. The results are published on my website. Take them or leave them. I’m not a Guru and I’m not looking to replace your fallen idols with a nice alternative. Expecting to be handed answers on a silver platter makes you susceptible to buzzwords and empty ‘leadership.’ I’m not your Elder.

Hey Mate, just want to ensure your material is correct. You keep saying I am part of an organization but I have never been part of any Aboriginal organization in my life so if you want to include me on any of your work please be accurate.

I don’t want to include any of you. Your words and actions result in your inclusion Bradley. Consider it #RadicalAccountability if that helps. Want to tell me how you are a direct descendant of Bungaree, as you publicly claim in your appearances as a representative of…

Here are the facts for you though – 1. I didn’t even know who Warren Whitfield was until he appeared in your blog 2. I never was or never have been part of any of the companies you have disclosed in your blog and I never will be for my own reasons which are different to yours. 3. I have spent decades walking this country speaking to old people and doing my own research.

and you still fell for a gubba Cult, invented by the dumbest white trash hillbillies on the Central Coast.
That’s why “do your own research” is not synonymous with cleverness.

Jordan Belfort you are not, except for the ethics and business practices. Please clean up your act before you sell more fake Culture while using my Ancestors name.

Thank you Bradley. I had no intention of looking into you further. Your actions triggered a deeper look. If you have a shred of Culture you would have recognized this pattern in my work, rather than merely seeking to evaluate it’s commercial value. Like all the GuriNgai, your actions, your behaviours, have very real, very negative impacts on Genuine Aboriginal People. You are made aware of this, but you can’t help yourselves.

Given your track record of recording conversations without someone’s knowledge. No thank you.

Brad Twynam pestering me through Facebook Messanger, then on the Long Con Gone on Too Long Facebook Page, then in the comments section of this website, led to me looking a bit closer at this unconventional looking/dressing/acting character.
Wow, there is so much this man does not want revealed yet like Warren Whitfield, Tracey Howie, Sharleen Leroy Dwyer and Rebecca Hird Fletcher before him, Bradley just could not resist the temptation of actively seeking my attention.
In part 2 we will learn just how much of a mistake Bradley Twynham has made, and how often this occurs to the hapless guy.
A Long Con, Gone on Too Long.
