which one mantra?.... he hasnt anointed one yet?..
if you are talking about this..
Cods they've already decided on the terms of reference and appointed the NT chief justice Brian Martin to head the inquiry - a man who has allegedly displayed racism in an earlier sentencing. He's had the power and influence to do something about these detention centres over the past decade - but has turned a blind eye.
We could just as easily - more cheaply and effectively had an investigation by the Federal police or child welfare services and charges laid. There will be no charges laid as a result of a royal commission being led by the man who sent these boys there in the first place.
Quote: Brian Martin, the former NT Supreme Court Chief Justice, achieved infamy among Aboriginal communities in April 2010 when he described five white youths who bashed an Aboriginal man to death in a racially charged drunken rampage as “of otherwise good character”.
The youths – Scott Doody, Timothy Hird, Anton Kloeden, Joshua Spears and Glen Swain – spent the night getting drunk at the local casino, before driving up and down the dry bed of the Todd River, where homeless Aboriginal people sleep.
They abused campers, fired a replica pistol with blank ammunition at them, and ran over at least one swag (owned by an elderly man) with their vehicle.
Eventually, the boys stopped and beat Kwementyaye Ryder, aged 33, to death after he threw a bottle at their car as they drove at him.
This is why it's a farce
Quote:It’s also infamous for the response of the community – three days after Mr Ryder was killed, a local resident started selling ‘Alice Springs White Power’ t-shirts from his vehicle outside the local Council chambers and police station.
The same day as the shirts went on sale, the Alice Springs Town Council passed new by-laws empowering council rangers to fine Aboriginal people for begging, and to throw out blankets homeless people stored in bushes in the riverbed to keep them warm in the freezing Central Australian winter.
But the killing is most infamous for the amount of time the five young men ending up serving.
Chief Justice Martin sentenced one of the men to as little as 12 months. The longest time served was four years.
One of Justice Martin’s justifications for the light sentences was that the youths would be caused ‘additional hardship’ in prison, given the overwhelming majority of inmates are Aboriginal.
