Incorrect dickhead..... Kooris are from NSW

Murris are from QLD.

Either way they are just words used to describe people of very mixed ancestry that choose to identify as Aboriginal.

Famed crossover athlete Anthony Mundine has performed an acknowledgement of country while appearing in court after police discovered the NRL legend behind the wheel of an unregistered vehicle affixed with unauthorised number plates while holding a suspended licence.

Representing himself before magistrate Jillian Kiely in Sutherland Local Court on Tuesday, Mundine announced to the court that “I’m Anthony of the tribe Mundine, here in my private capacity,” after acknowledging the “Dharug people of the Eora Nation” before his proceedings began.

Mundine, 50, was charged late last year with five motoring offences after highway patrol officers discovered him at the wheel of an uninsured and unregistered white Holden Commodore in suburban southern Sydney.

In late January, he was convicted in absentia of driving during a disqualification period (second offence), driving an unregistered vehicle, driving an uninsured vehicle, driving a vehicle on a road with motor vehicle tax unpaid, and driving a vehicle with unauthorised number plates affixed.

Mundine in court attempted to enter a “no plea” to his driving during a disqualification period (second offence) charge, but magistrate Kiely informed Mundine that a plea of either “guilty” or “not guilty” must be lodged.

“If you fail to make a plea, I can’t make a plea of not guilty,” said magistrate Kiely.

“I don’t consent … I’m innocent,” responded Mundine.

After Mundine declined to enter a formal plea, the magistrate entered a plea of not guilty on his behalf, as required by court procedure.

Mundine also wished for the court to “dismiss” that one charge, but the magistrate informed the dual-code athlete she lacked the authority to “summarily dismiss the matter”; only the police could withdraw the charge laid against him.

“They (the police) will be held accountable … I’m joking,” Mundine said.

Outside court, Mundine briefly shadow-boxed for waiting media and declined to comment substantively on the case.

He refused to comment on how he would contest the charges and whether he was a sovereign citizen or aligned with the sovereign citizen movement.

Earlier this month, Mundine told The Australian he would challenge the offences on the grounds of “attempted legal restriction of fundamental rights,” citing terminology used commonly by sovereign citizens. Mundine also revealed he was “awaiting response from Transport for NSW, the NSW Police Force, and the Department of Justice.”

“To elaborate, the matter pertains to the attempted legal restriction of fundamental rights – specifically the right to travel, the right to peace, the right to freedom of association, and the right to equality before the law, including the right to be heard and seen equally in the eyes of the law,” he said.
