All about money to the lazy .......

 

Yeah I do. It’s disturbing stuff.

No wonder they don’t want to talk about it. The blatant lying by the PM and the entire yes campaign is a disgrace.

 

Don’t know if this link will work or not, but it’s the 86 pages of deliberations followed by the full 26 pages of the Uluṟu statement (starting on page 87 obviously).

Treaty Treaty must include: Land and sea rights A fixed percentage of Gross Nation Product. Rates/land tax/royalties Right to self determination Timeline to achieve Aboriginal control

 

And you thought it was all about being polite and recognition…

 

I'm still wading through and here it is again in Melbourne this time:
There was discussion of what a treaty could contain, including recognition of sovereignty and reparations for past wrongs. Others picked up the theme of reparations and compensation as Document 7 FOI/2223/016Page 42 Released under the FOI Act by the National Indigenous Australians AgencySTATEMENT OF RECORD MELBOURNE DIALOGUE, 17-19 March 2017 Referendum Council 3 re-empowering people, rebuilding families and communities and recognising their sovereign connection to the land and its resources. There were comments about the campaign to ‘pay the rent’: “This government and the previous government and the previous one and the colonial governments before them have been pulling resources out of the ground and they are still doing it. Trillions of dollars, how many zeros I dunno. We want to talk about sovereignty. If we talk about ‘pay the rent’ how about all these multinational corporations start to give us 1%, 2%, 5%. It’s about time they started paying the rent. How about an open cheque book so we can take back our children and do what we have to do with education and health, and so our elders can be placed in a proper home. The backbone of a strong society is the family unit.”

 

The report keeps going on about 'them'having a political party..................as far as I understand there is no reason why 'they' can't...tooo lazy?

 

Why would they work to form one and do all the hard work like everyone else has to?

They want to be given a party with guaranteed representation.

 

Had they been on the VB cans-again ?

You go, girl!
Linda Reynolds sues Brittany Higgins for defamation over Instagram post (msn.com)

Lisa Wilkinson has done ‘more damage’ than any journalist reporting on Sofronoff inquiry (msn.com)

Not suprising in view of the Sofronoff report.

This should open the door to a hefty compensation claim by Lehrman and probably lead to close examination of past cases that Dumgold has been invovled in.
It will be interesting to see how the ACT Government acts to minimise it's reputational damage, the report was leaked by Sofronoff probably because he didn't have confidence that the ACT government would release it...

 

Another left elite grub

 

The Labor party will look after Drumgold, he'll get a human rights job with a half million dollar salary courtesy of the taxpayer. There is simply no downside for lefties in the Canberra swamp.

 

And Drumgold has now released a statement regarding the Sofronoff inquiry;

Really says it all.
'My career has been driven by a fire burning within, lit by an early life spent surrounded by the pain of chronic intergenerational social injustice. This fire has fuelled a life that took me from a disadvantaged housing commission estate to an esteemed leadership role within the legal profession."

and
'The pre-emptive release of the report to the media has denied me procedural fairness. It has deprived the ACT Government of the opportunity of considering my conduct objectively"

Or in plainspeak.
The leak of the report preemted the possibilty for the ACT government to whitewash the findings and discredit Sofranoff so that I don't look too bad.

His legal background

"In 1999, Drumgold applied to the Australian National University and the University of Canberra for admission to the Bachelor of Laws degree. He was rejected by both. Drumgold then enrolled in the Diploma of Justice Studies at the University of Canberra. After successful completion of the first semester he was admitted to the Bachelor of Laws degree at the same University in 2000. He graduated with honours in 2001. In his occasional address to a 2021 graduation class, he noted that following his graduation he was employed as both a prosecutor at the ODPP and tutor at the Australian National University"

"Drumgold commenced work for Australia Post in 1984; in 1993 he completed an Australia Post sponsored Certificate in Business Management through Charles Sturt University."

 

You missed the section about his work with American Indians!

 

The campaign to set aside the Sofranoff inquiry report has begun.

https://www.canberratimes.com.au/story/8298221/absolutely-appalled-drumgold-could-have-findings-set-aside/?cs=14329

"A top silk has suggested the ACT's outgoing Director of Public Prosecutions could ask a court to set aside the inquiry findings that have ended his career, claiming he was not afforded natural justice.
"I'm appalled. I'm absolutely appalled," Geoffrey Watson SC, a director at the Centre for Public Integrity, said on Monday when asked for his views on the findings being leaked to the media.
Mr Watson made the comments on ABC radio after Director of Public Prosecutions Shane Drumgold SC announced his resignation.
The territory's top prosecutor, who is set to formally depart on September 1, revealed he would walk away despite disputing many adverse findings the inquiry has made about him.
Mr Drumgold's conduct was scrutinised by an inquiry that examined how authorities handled the case of Bruce Lehrmann, who denies raping fellow former Liberal Party staffer Brittany Higgins at Parliament House.

Mr Sofronoff also found, among other things, that Mr Drumgold had lost objectivity and "preyed on" the inexperience of a junior prosecutor by having him advance a false claim of privilege over documents.

While the former Queensland judge's 600-page report is yet to be released publicly, its contents have been widely reported after he released it without ACT government approval to selected journalists.

Mr Drumgold criticised this decision on Sunday, saying it had denied him procedural fairness when the government had planned to consider the findings for a month before responding publicly.

On Monday, Mr Watson agreed.
"There's also a chance that he could go to a court now and have it set aside because he wasn't given natural justice," Mr Watson told ABC radio.
ACT Attorney-General Shane Rattenbury has indicated the territory government plans to make "a detailed statement" in response to Mr Sofronoff's report early this week.

 

What Watson should be appalled about is Drumgolds behaviour..

 

The last couple of days -In my find just shows how corrupt the whole grubby episode was!

That on hearsay this woman was paid over 3 million dollars by a now minister involved pre-election..................GRUBS !
