Nothing redefined about it, kid - never been defined for you - just pointing out examples. Just accept that the entire voice by stealth campaign is lawfare, and you'll be OK.


If you haven't defined it, you can't expect anyone to "just accept" it.

You tried that with The Voice and got humiliated, so it's no surprise you'll run from it around lawfare too.

Not my job to define it - just comment on the plain as day aspects that arise daily.  Not my fault that you refuse to even see it.  You reckon there's no Voice By Stealth occurring at Labor State level, and in cahoots with Albo etc.

You choose to be blind.  Throw away that bleach...

The Voice was clearly defined, you kept attributing anything indigenous as being the voice, or the voice by stealth.

You've somewhat changed that now after a stunning backdown in the face of defeat and simply call it "lawfare".

But just like you tried to make "the voice" a generic term for you to hide behind when pushing your hate, you're trying to do that now for "lawfare".

You're a one-trick donkey, and we're frankly over the trick.

You hate Indigenous Australians and are jealous of every time an issue that even barely involves them makes it into the news, so jealous it makes you angry and you cannot fight the urge to rage post about it here.

We're over it.

It does nothing for this place, it does nothing for Indigenous Australians and it does nothing for the country.

Yep - all 26 pages of it.  No problem-o.  Now we are seeing 'control over land, water and resources' being pushed at State level, along with all the other components.  Now a track once used is a 'songline' steeped in mythical importance - a spearhead and fish net from a museum are shattering news about the restoration of the 'culture'- claim your ancestors used a track across some tract of land - claim the lot....... all just overblown nonsense to support the insupportable - the imposition of a minority outworn cave-man approach to civilisation and culture and land OWNERSHIP by conquest of one group over another on everyone else.

Just a simple one page request - with a huge codicil attached to it.

You're not that stupid. Wait a minute....

I never said everything you post is wrong.  Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

I simply pointed out that Indigenous artifacts being returned to their homeland is not lawfare, just like a journo writing about Uluru and visiting it again now after 10+ years, which triggered a colossal meltdown over multiple threads because you know that I'm right.

The only thing you hate more than Indigenous Australians is when I'm right and you're wrong.

Even your most generic interpretation of lawfare, which as I said would include the public holiday in Vic today if taken at face value, isn't enough to encapsulate that.

You need to pick your battles better.

I'm winning on all fronts.    Grin  Grin  Grin  Grin  Only a fool imagines that the current rush of blood to the head with all its ridiculous demands will continue.. claim Redland - 3600 homes - see how you go.

I don't hate anyone - I deal with issues... many of them say they want their own homeland where they can do things their way (Tarneen Whalechick)... I say give it to them - those who want to assimilate can stay.  Gondwanamo is for the recalcitrants and career criminal types.

You just haven't got your thinking straight... it's a chick thing fed by Labor lies.

Skirting the edges of the law and exploiting loopholes such as 'too young' are guerrilla lawfare - when it is a deliberate campaign to assault and injure it is guerrilla warfare:-

https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/australia/extra-police-deployed-to-alice-springs-...

Extra police deployed to Alice Springs after officers allegedly targeted in violent weekend of crime


"The Northern Territory police union has condemned a string of violent incidents at the weekend targeting police, claiming local members are being treated like "the community’s punching bags".

NT Police recommenced Operation Archer on Saturday in response to the incidents, which allegedly saw young offenders throw rocks at police, leaving one female officer hospitalised.

The operation, which was previously deployed in August this year, aims to tackle high-risk stolen motor vehicle crimes and has seen additional police deployed to the outback town from Darwin in recent days.

It comes after six people, aged 13 to 20, were arrested overnight Thursday after allegedly taking a stolen car on a joy ride through the CBD, throwing rocks at police and ramming into the back of a police car.

They allegedly later trashed a parked police car before damaging two officers' personal vehicles and smashing the windows of two security vehicles, leaving a security guard with facial injuries.

Five of the alleged offenders appeared in youth court today, with a sixth child to be dealt with under the youth justice act.

Police allege the following night, a group of offenders recklessly drove a stolen car through the CBD, smashing the windscreen of a police car with a rock and injuring a female officer.

She was taken to Alice Springs hospital to have a piece of glass removed from her eye.

"We've got four suspects that we're actively pursuing ... and they're aged between 15 to 17 years of age," Southern Commander James Gray-Spence said.

Late Saturday night, a group of offenders allegedly drove another stolen car dangerously through the CBD, throwing rocks at police and other frontline workers, damaging vehicles but injuring no-one.

Hours later, a security guard was allegedly robbed of his car keys at knifepoint near the Olive Pink Botanical Gardens.

Police eventually managed to apprehend the guard's stolen vehicle after a tense pursuit in which occupants allegedly threw "projectiles", including fireworks, at police.

They arrested seven children, with an 11-year-old later released "into the care of a responsible adult" and two 12-year-olds and two 13-year-olds dealt with under the youth justice act.

The two other alleged offenders, aged 14 and 15, have been charged with robbery, unlawful use of a motor vehicle and violent disorder, and faced the youth court today.

Commander Gray-Spence said he believed the incidents on Saturday and Sunday were linked.

Northern Territory Police Association president Nathan Finn said it was "extremely concerning" vehicles were being "weaponised" against police.

"[These events] are becoming all too common for our members," he said.

"Over the previous 12-month period, we have seen a 45 per cent increase in assaults against our members. This is a significant and disturbing statistic."

He urged the new Country Liberal Party government to take a more “tough on crime” approach, including stricter mandatory sentencing.

"Our members are not the community’s punching bags," he said.

Assistant Commissioner Janelle Tonkin said she was deeply concerned by these "incredibly dangerous behaviours", particularly after an 18-year-old was killed in a similar incident in March.

She said there was an "attention-seeking element" to this offending and urged people to avoid posting videos of the incidents on social media.

"That only seeks to fuel the risk-taking behaviour by these young people," she said.

Let's get 'em up and riling for the Long Weekend.... you have to ask why this guy had to run that gauntlet... and exactly what the "myriad experts – adolescent health practitioners, law and justice groups, children's commissioners and the Productivity Commission among them" actually propose to do to resolve the problems:-

https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/australia/clp-government-stands-by-its-plan-to-ma...

"When he looks out at the sea of young, mainly Aboriginal faces in his audiences, Levi Nichaloff knows more than most about the challenging paths many of them have to walk.

The Northern Territory rapper and musician, who goes by the stage name Yung Milla, spent his own childhood running the gauntlet of trying to avoid the criminal justice system.

"Growing up we was around a lot of violence, a lot of drugs, unstable household," he said.

Other than a small brush with the law last year, Nichaloff has managed to claw his way out of that cycle, and now has a burgeoning career in the territory's music industry.

But he fears that a new law coming into the NT, which will see the age of criminal responsibility lowered to 10 from 12, could see other young Aboriginal kids caught up in the justice system.

"Putting them behind bars is not going to help them," Nichaloff said.

"It's going to scar them. It's going to make them worse for the future."

The Country Liberal Party's (CLP) incoming law will make the NT Australia's first jurisdiction to lower the age of criminal responsibility, after previously raising it.

It comes after a years-long push by legal advocates for all jurisdictions to raise the age to 14.

It's a claim backed by the evidence of myriad experts – adolescent health practitioners, law and justice groups, children's commissioners and the Productivity Commission among them.

Professor Susan Sawyer, the director of the Centre for Adolescent Health at the Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne, said the law had left physicians around Australia dismayed.

"These are young children we're talking about, these are not hardened criminals," she said.

"The further the penetration into the youth justice system, the greater the risks for young people, as we experience in terms of deaths in custody, for example."

The law change hasn't come from nowhere.

The CLP swept into power in a landslide NT election victory in August, after campaigning on a suite of promises to harden laws to try to bring down the territory's high crime rates.

Central to those pledges was the promise to lower the age of criminal responsibility back to 10, which will come around two years since Territory Labor passed legislation to raise it from 10 to 12."

Did you actually read the article?

Firstly, as this seems to go without saying, this as usual is not an example of lawfare trying to implement the voice by stealth.  I'd mock you by saying it was a good try, but it wasn't even that.  It's just another lazy attempt to paint an Indigenous issue as negative without even addressing it.

Second, rather than addressing the issue raised, you’ve used this as a springboard to discuss a tangentially related topic, ignoring the substance of the article.

Would you care to engage with the actual matter at hand? To summarise:

Levi Nichaloff, known as rapper Yung Milla, expresses concern about the NT's new law lowering the age of criminal responsibility from 12 to 10, fearing it will disproportionately harm Aboriginal youth. Drawing from his own upbringing, he believes this will worsen outcomes for children. Experts, such as Professor Susan Sawyer, echo these concerns, warning of deeper entrenchment in the justice system. This law is part of the CLP's tough-on-crime approach after their recent electoral victory.

In the past, you've expressed what appeared to be concern for the women and children in these communities.  Sure, your solutions that involved genocide, segregation or apartheid would put that pantomime concern into context, but let's be incredibly and undeservedly generous and give you the benefit of the doubt and consider that concern to be genuine.

Now, you have the opportunity to weigh in, after hearing the perspectives of someone with lived experience and an expert in adolescent health.

Can you offer your thoughts on the actual topic under discussion from the point of view of what might be better for the children impacted by this from the communities you're so obsessed with degrading?

Oooh - you are a raver, aren't you?  I merely posted the news article and off you go into another of your insane rants....

YOU've had direct experience dealing with suffering kids?  No wonder the failure rate is so high...

Now the big question is ... do YOU have any answers... I merely asked - you raved again... fish on a hook....   Grin  Grin  Grin

See mate, this is why nobody wants to engage with you.

It wasn't even a rant, something I can be good at.  It was a simple question.

You've posted something in your Lawfare thread, so that implies you think it's an example of Lawfare.

After reading it, it has nothing to do with it as usual.

Then you've been deliberately confrontational and combative with your commentary of it,

Then you go on to question those questioning this solution would do to help the actual problem.

Ok.

But when someone asks you what you think should be done instead, you pretend to be the victim of a rant and won't offer your opinion, instead offering an admission that you're just posting news in this thread now,

So let's try again, if you're so concerned with the people in these communities, what would you do to help these children?

You can deflect again if you want, but I think we'd all like to know.  You're great at highlighting the problems and repeating them over and over, assigning blame everywhere but to those you identify with, so it would be nice, for a change, if you offered a solution, a real-world one, that you so demand from others.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but is Crappler having a cry about "lawfare" because the age of criminal responsibility is being lowered from 12 to 10?

He's just Pavlov's dog at this point, isn't he. See's the word "Aboriginal" and he posts a link to it in one of his multitude of threads that remain ignored by the majority of Ozpol, utterly oblivious of context.

It would be funny if it weren't a clear sign of something being very wrong.

This is what it appears to be, hence why I've tried to give him a chance, perhaps the last, to engage in good faith.

He already threw it back in my face, so I've tried again.

Will see if he comes to the table or if he'll choose to remove any doubt about his true intentions.

good question

since communities are going backwards on 17 of the 19 parameters used to judge the "closing the gap" initiative, we certainly need to stop doing what we are currently doing

as a grandfather of 3 great indigneous boys (my son in law is indigenous), what i would say is what Oprah said

if you want to ruin someones life tell them they are a victim and then give them cash they didnt earn

so keeping people who "set the bar low" away from communities is vital

stop the victim identity, stop the sit down money and set the bar high

then people will climb up to get over the bar and feel legitimate self esteem and join me on
"the narrow road to success" .

i am not kidding when i say i am mentoring my second grandson to become prime minister one day.

when i walk him home from school, i am in awe of his popularity.

he is like a little donald trump

I asked Leftie - sorry Skanka - who considers self an expert - for hir solutions instead of the raving.... of course hshe's only 'trying to debate' right?

So if a Lawfare move is sort of against young Aboriginals and is not a real long-term solution, and I raise that - this is cause for criticism?  Are you daft?  I'm neutral in all this.... clearly you are a rabid supporter or one side....

Again not one word of yours addresses the issue..... you pair are laughable.    Grin  Grin  Grin  Grin  Grin  Grin  Grin  Grin  Grin  Grin
