How's the distribution of the free funds going?

Mate just came back from Darwin - said the place is stuffed .... and any of the Aboriginals in the know want to see the back of all these Land Councils because they're the ones sopping up all the money that should be being spent on people in communities.

I still do more work in a month of Public Holiday Mondays than what a suburb of Central Land Councillors work in a year.

That would depend on whether they are drinkers or not. Land Councillors are usually non-drinkers.

I meant from the dancing...... just had the bait out for the Usual Suspects to bite... you KNOW how they love to read in.... I had a schizophrenic brother - I could get him going by just mentioning the word 'paranoid' in his hearing.... the dope had him by the cojones.... his delusion went deeper and more firmly over the years.... a true product of his environment - insane, violent and eventually so self-absorbed that he forgot he had heart problems and went out to fight a neighbour over nothing real and fell down dead...

Stay clear of the dope.....

How the phuk would you know that for a fact?

Quote:

Barbara Bandicootcha, Aurukun mayoral frontrunner.

The woman leading the vote count in the race to become mayor of Aurukun has apologised and taken “full responsibility” for her actions after being charged with mid-range drink driving.

“I want to acknowledge my mistake and take full responsibility for my actions,” Barbara Bandicootcha said.

“I am cooperating with the court proceedings and have been transparent with the Aurukun community throughout this process.

“If my actions have caused any embarrassment or distress, I sincerely apologize and assure that such behavior will not be repeated.”

Ms Bandicootcha, 49, an independent candidate for mayor of Aurukun, was leading the voting count on 43 per cent of the vote as of Thursday afternoon.

She is ahead of incumbent mayor Keri Tamwoy at 34 per cent, with nearly 60 per cent of the vote counted.

Ms Bandicootcha appeared in Aurukun Magistrates Court on Thursday, March 14, charged with driving a motor vehicle while over the middle alcohol limit.

Aboriginal MP -

Quote:

On 2 June 2016, we reported on charges laid against Queensland Member of Parliament Billy Gordon relating to drink driving and unlicensed driving.

Mr Gordon was driving from Kuranda to Cairns when he was pulled over for a random breath test. He reportedly recorded a blood alcohol content reading of 0.094 – almost twice the accepted limit for full or open licence holders.

However, Mr Gordon, who has only ever held a learner’s permit (which reportedly expired back in 2009), was also driving unlicensed at the time.
