The perspective of the two sources is completely opposite to each other. Source 4 is against the actions of the government, commenting about the group's outrage at the government's neglect over the lives of the Aboriginal people of the Warburton Ranges. However, source 5 seeks to disprove the allegations of "sick and starving natives". The author addresses the many contreversies with minimal evidence however other than "I was there and they were fine."

Evidence includes:

"white men made missionaries" allegedly meant no-one was allowed to starve.

The people who went to check on the Indigenous stated that "None of them can stand the light of full examination." Therefore, they were said to be fine and weren't struggling at all.

People shouldn't worry about the Indigenous because they were oblivious about the nations concern for their "misery".

They state that the natives wouldn't allow modern doctors to help, as they only cared about their traditional ways
