Comments by "" (@pwillis1589) on "‘No shortage of evidence’ for call to audit Indigenous land councils: Price" video.

Current DNA testing technology is unable to do want you suggest. An indigenous person does however have to prove aboriginal genealogy to obtain a financial benefit from the Commonwealth. There have been regimes in the past that have insisted on eugenics as a matter of government policy, is this the path you think we should go down?

ILC are already audited regularly by the ANAO. Price literally hasn’t got a clue about what she is talking about. Was the choice for Chair poor, yes.

There was literally no power attached the the voice whatsoever, zero, zilch, nothing. It was an advisory body only. Your level of ignorance is astonishing.

@bushranger7646 What a ridiculously absurd comment. Do you even understand the meaning of the word advise. The indigenous voice could have advised whatever, it had not legislative capability or any financial delegation. That is the sole reserve of the Parliament. This idea that you think some pithy reply to my comment in any way substantiates your opinion is ludicrous. Several High Court justices and two former chief justices confirmed the wording that was to be inserted into the constitution gave the voice no power at all. It would of course, had political power, but it would of been literally impossible for it to fund itself. Only Parliament could do that.

@bushranger7646 Yes, but let’s use the Oxford dictionary meaning, to offer suggestions about the best course of action, to recommend, to inform. What gives you the idea a voice had any legislative power. It wouldn’t have even had a member in parliament so I just don’t for the life of me understand where you are coming from. I accept fully that the overwhelming majority of Australians voted against an indigenous voice and the oppositions “If you don’t know vote no” campaign was extremely effective as it seems to have fully sucked you in. I again for the life of me do not understand why Australians were so fearful almost terrified of indigenous Australians having an opinion on matters that directly affect them.
1
@bushranger7646 No that is just an anecdotal fallacy, and the Oxford dictionary is an independent authority. I respect the indigenous people of Australia the ability to know what is best for themselves and not impose my cultural experience on them. I lived in the NT for 9 years and my job took me to several remote communities (short visits only). I fully understand the reality of the indigenous people of Australia situation.

The ANAO conducts regular audits of all aboriginal land councils. You can read the results on its website. Educate yourself.

The ANAO regularly conducts audits of Aboriginal land councils. The ANAO is an independent organisation from government and publishes all it findings on its website. You can go there now and see the latest audits. You comment is of total and utter ignorance.

@johnkauppi7078 She is a politician, who according to the voting results from the last referendum doesn’t represent the views of her constituency. Just because she is aboriginal doesn’t mean she has any understanding of aboriginal interests. To suggest so is just a little bit racist.
1
@johnkauppi7078 Sorry I have no idea what that means.
1
@johnkauppi7078 Oh in that case the deal is sealed. Billy's word is gospel.

@flyboyone To gain a financial benefit from the government an indigenous person must prove genealogy, identification, and acceptance. Your comment is factually incorrect.
1
@playlistofthegods That is pretty much how things currently stand. Assistance is offered to indigenous peoples because on average indigenous people are significantly worse off in outcomes related to health, life span, child mortality, education, employment, and home ownership than non indigenous Australians.

@davepowelldrumz They do. The NT police only late last year completed an investigation into allegations of fraud. The NT police investigation found none. What more do you want. Police investigation, zero evidence of fraud. ANAO audit, zero evidence of fraud. Has the leadership of the ALO made some mistakes? Sure have and they admitted to them.
1
@slimlinebond So a NT Police investigation that found no evidence of fraud, not good enough for you, but the word of a politican is fact. Hilarious, come to Sydney I have a bridge to sell to you.
1
@slimlinebond I lived in the Darwin for 9 years and have personally experienced the racism indigenous people have to put up with. If the NT police could have found a way to charge someone from the ALS with fraud they would have. Once again all the factual data supports my opinion and nothing supports your opinion.
1
@slimlinebond I lived in Darwin for 9 years and have seen how the NT police interact with indigenous people. If they thought they could arrest an indigenous person for fraud they would have.
1
So it is now common public knowledge that there is entrenched racism in the NT Police. This has been shown in testimony before a coroner's inquiry. In 9 years in Darwin I personally witnessed both overt and covert racism towards the indigenous people. If the NT police had a chance to arrest and charge an indigenous person with fraud they would.
1
@slimlinebond Isn’t that their job?
1
@playlistofthegods Audits and police investigations have found no fraud. What is your problem? Because they are indigenous organisations they must be corrupt.
1
@playlistofthegods Police investigating found nothing as well. Zero fraud.
1
@slimlinebond Yes several comments seem to have been deleted. It is certainly frustrating as shown by your infantile replys, however this isn’t a public platform and as a private business can pretty much do as they want. You agree to their terms when you use the comments section. If you don’t like it choose a different platform. Once again the ANAO and the NT police have both conducted audits and investigations into the NLC and the ALS and found no evidence of fraud.
1
@slimlinebond Yes I understand this is your opinion however it completely lacks any detail or evidence. I on the other hand can point to a NT police fraud investigation into the Aboriginal legal services in the NT that found no evidence of corruption of fraud. As well the ANAO regularly conducts audits of all Aboriginal Land Councils and yes it occasionally finds some inappropriate practices as of recent has found no incidents of fraud. Are indigenous people exploited? Absolutely, just look at the prices they have to pay for groceries in remote communities. Nothing in my logic is flawed you just don’t appear to be able to cope with the reality of an independent NT police investigation.
1
@slimlinebond There is no flawed logic in an NT Police investigation into the NT aboriginal legal services that found absolutely no evidence of fraud. If you are claiming this investigation was faulty you will need to back that claim with evidence, otherwise it is you with the fallacious garbage.
1
@slimlinebond The ANAO which is independent of government regularly audits Aboriginal Land Councils. All its reports are published for the public to read. All you have provided are claims of conspiracies and trust me that doesn't make you sound credible at all.

And your evidence for this claim of $33 billion is?
