But that is what happened. A 3-4 vote resulted in a large area of pastoral land just South of Weipa in Northern Queensland has been "given back" to the Wik people - a small Aboriginal tribe which will now own the 35,000 sq kilometre area.
The ramifications for miners and pastoralists are horrific - it means that any leased land is now under threat from Aboriginal claim, a financial disaster for this country!
The High Court's majority in the Wik case held that native title of the Wik and neighbouring Thayorre people of Cape York had survived the issue of 35,000 sk km of pastoral leases to graziers and the mining company Comalco Limited.
In a dissenting judgement, the Chief Justice, Sir Gerard Brennan warned that allowing native title and pastoral leases to co-exist would defy "existing orthodoxies" of land tenure.
Following the decision Prime Minister John Howard refused to spell out whether the Federal Government would now amend the Native Title Act to specify the position of pastoral leases under complex legislation.
Famers said that the decision had ended any chance of reconciliation (with the Aborigines) and miners called it the worst possible outcome.
As I said at the beginning - it is blatantly ridiculous that our judicial system allows the decision of one individual to swing this burden onto the entire country.
Two Aboriginal boys accused of spitting on and assaulting Independent MP Pauline Hanson were sent to a rural training farm yesterday after a Children's Court freed them from a Brisbane youth detention centre.
The decision overturned that of an Ipswich magistrate who ruled that the boys be remanded in custody for six weeks pending a trial. The decision was made on the condition that the boys not be sent home.... it is well known that the boys have extensive track records of unsociable behaviour....
Here are some facts about those two Aboriginal boys that you won't see in the mainstream media, I wonder why?

I do. And to come up with some crap excuse that they did it to be arrested to get away from the "White Knights" (a supposed white supremacy group). What a crock!!! And then that dear old fellow Perkins gets his fat,ugly face on the TV and says that if he had a chance, he would spit on her too. Oh to be within 10' of him if he ever did :-)

Exactly, and now they are on a "holiday farm" for wayward black kids. I suppose they would get preferential treatment too, being "hero's" and all. I remember (back in the early 80's) when I was working as a "doorman" at a disco in Townsville and one in Ingham. There were a group of blacks going up and down the coast, going into the nightclubs and disco's, causing fights and when they were being evicted, there was some one over the road with a video camera taping the whole thing. From there, they would press charges and bleat about discrimination.
:-)>What do you all think??
What happens when someone spits on a cop?? The same should have happened to these little mongrels. "Public outrage at childrens incarceration"..........crap!! The only public to speak up were the blacks. Some idiot(black, naturally) got in the paper and said that it was despicable that there was such a high incidence of black arrest's and incarcerations!! If they didn't do anything wrong, they wouldn't get arrested !! Haven't they figured that out yet??
:-) Any remark such as yours will probably be regarded as racist in the
:-)extreme, so the Internet will probably be closed down indefinitely
I'm not a racist, I hate anyone who tries to screw me, or the system that I live in and abide by, around. Regardless of colour.
:-)The whole of Queensland will be given back under some native title
:-)that they'll discover tomorrow.
Too late, they discovered it yesterday in the Supreme Court.
:-)It's a pity Ms Hanson wasn't quicker with her fists - spitting is a
:-)great start to a defence of provocation or self-defence, but then
:-)again - perhaps that's what was desired.
But then again, if they were caught by the person that they spat on,and recieved the same treatment, would that be classed as discrimination? You would hope that you had a roaring cold, chest infection, when they did it, hey?? :-)

I find it even more disturbing that the media keeps reporting it as "Black
Kids to Miss Christmas". From a few other accounts, it seems the kids were
actually remanded in custody not for spitting on PH, but for breaching bail
or bond conditions from previous offences. Guess that doesn't make a real
good story...

The end result is they are now probably heroic martyrs amongst their
peers and that's a sad thing ...

The blackman lost me the day Deeds of Grant and Trust came into force
which means that certain parts of Nth. Qld. / Nth. Terr. are off
limits without permission. You have to apply for permission, in
writing, giving exact dates you will be in this area and why. Even if
you pass through one let alone stopping you still need permission.
It is only the whiteman that needs this permission ! Smacks of racism
and discrimination to me !
Herein lies the problem ... pandering to minority groups at the cost
of the betterment of all.
Once, we knew what moral standards should be, we knew them
instinctively. Now instinct is overruled by minority groups and they
now dictate the standards. And many people, terrified at being seen
marching to the wrong tune go along with it all.
So, stuff the blackman and his attempt at greed, eroding the very
fabric of society, his especially but ours also. I will no longer
help him by vote or reason and he will have to earn back my trust.
Kinda heavy for x-mas huh ! But I will lighten the burden

The director of public prosecutions, Mr Damian Bugg QC, said, "We have now had confirmation from the Commonwealth that there will be an exemption from liability to Commonwealth taxation in the seizure process of the assets of Mr Bryant.
"And it is a pretty good Christmas present for the victims... it would be something over Au$250,000."
| On the 21st of December 1996, Operation Priestbuster came to a successful close. After months of preparation, this operation proved instrumental in setting the forces of Christian Technology back several years. An android operative was created in the Pervert Technology Laboratories, the purpose of which was to seduce the Reverend Cedric Mannington, arch nemesis of the Pervert Movement. On this said date our android, using the guise of a young female engineering student, approached Reverend Mannington under the pretence of wanting to participate in the testing of the so-called infrared illicit sex detector program. Thanks to some brilliant engineering on the part of the team of the Pervert Technology Laboratories, which included realistic micro-motor action in strategic locations on the body of the android, Reverend Mannington was unable to resist, and was promptly seduced, thereby making his transition to the Dark Side complete. Our intelligence reports that the Christian Technology Scientists were confused during their testing of the infrared illicit sex detector, as the activity levels they were registering were very low, typically of just one person. If only they knew. At last report, the Reverend had eloped with the android operative, heading towards Tahiti. All we can say is that if he gets carried away, he'll get a nasty surprise. Due to budgetary constraints, the skin covering the android was constructed from one of Uncle Nick's old inflatable dolls, so if the Reverend decides to bite her in the obvious place, she'll promptly deflate and whizz around the room. We hope that he won't notice the difference. Long live the Pervert Technology Movement. May the gerbils be with you. |
89.75% of the shareholders in Advance bank registered their support in the move - a deal which will result in Australia's fifth largest bank with market capitalisation of Au$4.5 billion and assets approaching Au$40 billion in value.
The Australian Securities Commission distanced itself from media suggestions that it would oppose certain terms of the merger.
National Australia Bank Limited (NAB), which holds a small 3% stake in Advance bank could still launch a legal challenge against the merger... in an attempt to scuttle it. NAB is understood to have abstained from voting on the issue yesterday but can still vote against changes to the articles - necessary to allow the merger to proceed at the January 13 shareholders meeting.
Have a great day and a great Christmas wherever you may be!
