IT now identifies as an Australian Aboriginal!:eek::eek::eek:
We may as well jump on the band wagon Conservative numbers were 298,604 aboriginal decent in 2001. 2023 we have 16 Million claiming that they are of aboriginal decent. I gotta check maybe somehow a 1/20 th aboriginal stowed away on a shipping liner 80 years ago , made their way to europe and i can prove by a blood test I am 1/500th of an aboriginal. This is getting so ridiculous Such a sad state of affairs. Albanese is a total embarrassment.
The multiple numbers of Aboriginals since 1901 is greater than that of the rest of the population including 5.5 million immigrants since 1946!
A legislated Voice is OK, because future govts can change it. As they had to do with ATSIC when it became corrupted beyond repair. Changing a constitutional Voice would need another referendum with a majority of people and states voting in favour - highly unlikely to succeed.
The clown show continues https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-07-31/bruce-lehrman-prosecution-inquiry-report-handed-act-government/102664238 https://www.canberratimes.com.au/story/8291081/barr-not-concerned-about-leaks-while-cabinet-considers-sofronoff-findings/ Chief Minister Andrew Barr says he is not concerned about leaks of the findings of a board of inquiry into the handling of the Parliament House rape case and again defended a delay to the release of the report. "We will make it public. It's seven months worth of work. We need more than seven hours to consider it," Mr Barr said on Tuesday morning. The Chief Minister had previously said the findings of the inquiry, which had been led by Walter Sofronoff KC, would be subject to a "proper cabinet process" and he intended to table the report when the Legislative Assembly sat later this month. "As I indicated, at this very podium in December of last year, we would once we received the report, we would consider it through a cabinet process and then release it," he said on Tuesday. "Like I said at the time, I expected to be asked every single day from the day we received it until the day we make it public. We will make it public." The report was handed to Mr Barr on Monday. Mr Barr indicated he was not concerned by leaks from individuals who might have had adverse findings made against them. "That's a matter for those individuals, if there are any and if they want to come forward. But I don't think they will," he said. Acting Opposition Leader Jeremy Hanson on Monday had called for the immediate release of the inquiry report. "For the public to have faith in the system, justice must be impartial and open - not kept secret and only made available to Labor and Greens cabinet ministers," he said. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12358211/Bruce-Lehrmann-considers-launching-multimillion-dollar-compensation-claim-against-Department-Public-Prosecutions.html?ico=topics_pagination_desktop
"In a 600-page report leaked to The Australian ahead of its official release, board of inquiry chairman Walter Sofronoff KC reportedly describes being "deeply disturbed" by the actions of Director of Public Prosecutions Shane Drumgold SC." https://www.theaustralian.com.au/nation/sofronoff-report-reveals-shane-drumgold-lied-during-bruce-lehrmann-rape-case/news-story/07d25b9c79364a10473806e3df48dfa7?amp ACT chief prosecutor Shane Drumgold knowingly lied to the Supreme Court, engaged in serious malpractice and grossly unethical conduct, “preyed on a junior lawyer’s inexperience”, betrayed that junior lawyer who trusted him, and treated criminal litigation as “a poker game in which a prosecutor can hide the cards,” the Sofronoff Inquiry has found. In findings that are certain to end Mr Drumgold’s career as ACT Director of Public Prosecutions and may lead to criminal prosecution against him for perverting the course of justice, inquiry head Walter Sofronoff KC ruled that every one of the allegations made by Mr Drumgold that sparked the inquiry was baseless. In the report, obtained by The Australian, Mr Sofronoff found that Mr Drumgold had lost objectivity during the prosecution of Bruce Lehrmann for the alleged rape of Brittany Higgins and “did not act with fairness and detachment as was required by his role”. The ACT government received Mr Sofronoff’s report on Monday but has refused to release the findings until the end of the month, as senior officials pore over the 600-page document. Mr Sofronoff said he was “deeply disturbed” by Mr Drumgold’s ignorance of ethical principles and accused him of a “Pilate-like detachment”, invoking the moment Pontius Pilate washed his hands of Jesus’s fate, letting the mob decide who should be crucified. Among the astonishing catalogue of misconduct and dishonesty found by the inquiry against Mr Drumgold are: - That he made representations to the Chief Justice Lucy McCallum in the proceedings against Mr Lehrmann that were “untrue” and “an invention of his own”; - That he was guilty of a “serious breach of duty” by failing to comply with the “golden rule” of disclosure that sits at the heart of a fair trial by failing to disclose documents where there was “simply no doubt” that those police investigation documents should have been disclosed; - That the DPP failed to adopt the rule of thumb used by wise and experienced prosecutors – “if in doubt, disclose”; - That the DPP “kept the defence in the dark about the steps he was taking to deny them the documents that meant they were in no position to mount a challenge”; And that he “constructed a false narrative to support a claim of legal professional privilege”. "The result has been a public inquiry, which was not justified by any of his allegations, that has caused lasting pain to many people and which has demonstrated his allegations to be not just incorrect, but wholly false and without any rational basis," Mr Sofronoff reportedly concluded. "The cost of a six-month public inquiry - in time and money, in lost work, and personal and professional consequences - has been huge."
