It shows democracy works.

It's a win.

**rattles cage**  That's what you get when you apply different rules as a matter of policy = lawfare to give one set supremacy and special rights.... where is the line of Elders and parents/responsible adults keeping them under control and guiding them into constructive things?  Must be tribal war there - hinted at in that cop blurb..... need another set of rules again... keep the country divided some more, eh?

"Residents in Alice Springs will be subjected to another curfew following a series of violent assaults, a brawl involving 80 people and a knife attack.

Northern Territory Police issued a three-night public social disorder declaration on Monday for parts of the city from 10pm to 6am.

"The intent of this declaration is to disrupt the behaviours associated with the harm we're seeing in Alice Spring," Commissioner Michael Murphy told reporters.

"It applies to all classes of people - it will apply to adults and it will apply to youths."

Mr Murphy said a series of crimes across the weekend had contributed to the decision to impose the curfew.

These included a large-scale disturbance involving about 80 people in which police were assaulted, a knife attack, the robbery of a service station and the assault of four off-duty police officers on a public street.
The curfew will be imposed on the town centre between Anzac Hill, the Alice Springs Hospital, the Stuart Highway and Leichhardt Terrace, which runs along the Todd River.

"Anyone coming into the zone can be engaged by police and they can be asked to leave or alternatively they can be asked to stay if there is another disturbance for their own safety.," Mr Murphy said.

"A failure to abide in a request by police can lead to an offence and it can lead to an infringement notice or an arrest."

People with legitimate business in the area or those seeking safety will be permitted to enter the zone.

It comes as NAIDOC week celebrations kick off in the town, attracting visitors from across the NT.

Mr Murphy said police would not disturb the annual event and the curfew would help keep those celebrating it safe.

"I'm very aware it's a really important week for the Territory and Australia," he said.

"We all still have a policing presence, but only in the declared area."

The emergency declaration has been made using new laws passed by the Territory parliament in May that let the police commissioner impose a three-day curfew that can be extended to seven days if the police minister approves.

The curfew for all people follows a three-week curfew banning anyone under 18 from the town's centre between 6pm and 6am follow a series of wild brawls in March."

'typically' - well - it's finally become an avenue for research here at Grappler U and a new and fuller set of definitions will be forthcoming when we are ready to publish...

'lawfare' applies whenever a government constitutes a body and gives that body power - and then orders that department to pursue a certain line using its legalised powers and its deep pockets to crush any opposition...  now why would any government say to national parks that they could close any national park and then declare it unused and then hand it over to special mates?  You'd be happy with that for a mining group?  You DO understand principle, don't you?

Think back on that Indian eye tester lady ..... what's right for one is right for others - it isn't a matter of 'Oh - here you get what you work for within the system and the Tent City Slickers are a by-product of no value anyway' - but back then - as a Settler - you had no such rights and the Humpy City Slickers were a Displaced and Dispossessed group.... as in WTF??...

It's a big issue - needing full review and study ... we're patient - and we listen to every idiot viewpoint...  clearly though - when someone even suggests that discussing one specific case in Toowoomba (arsehole of the universe Mk III) means I am discussing all cases - there is somedink not right in the brain off that Denmark.... that mothra .... such wild fantasies ....

Then you get people who take obsession with a passing comment in response to someone else's post - about some guy fading from a heart attack ..... and go on and on..... then you see those who obsess over their inability to see that the lawfare of closing off a national park icon and handing it over has relevance to lawfare since it shows clearly what a disaster it is in reality ... well - what can you say but re-open the asylums.

There's a room next to you for mothra and dividie and Lefty.... at least we would have one pre-emptive strike against some future Nazi Stalinists who want the country run their way or no way ..... get some of them insulated from the general community to restrict the harm they do.  Be a room there for Albo as well....   

Been lookin' for this one... sniffing out government double-dealing - sheilas of course - they'll nay get the (actually despised by them) Aborigines by assimilatin' 'em - they'll poison the water... cunning, no?:-

"Last year, the Northern Territory's current chief minister approved a controversial water allocation plan with no water advisory committee, and against the wishes of traditional owners, while the environment minister was on holiday.

At the time of approval, the plan was condemned as the "worst water decision" in years, as it concluded that 210,000 megalitres — enough to fill roughly 100,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools — could be sustainably pumped from the groundwater every year

Now, a ministerial brief obtained under Freedom of Information (FOI) and shared with the ABC has revealed that the Georgina Wiso Water Allocation Plan – the largest in the NT's history – was pushed through by an acting minister, who took just two working days to consider it.

That minister was Eva Lawler, the Northern Territory's current chief minister.

"I believe that a window was seen and seized opportunistically to push through this water allocation," says Kirsty Howey, executive director of the Environment Centre NT.

The revelations follow this week's ABC's Four Corners, which looked into allegations of water licence mismanagement, cosy deals, silencing experts, and ignoring traditional owners to support the development of a lucrative cotton industry in the territory.

Ms Lawler, who was not chief minister at the time, was appointed acting NT environment minister on October 31, 2023.

A few days later, the ministerial brief, running almost 100 pages long and marked high priority, landed on her desk.

The report referenced concerns from environment groups over water mining for fracking in the Beetaloo Basin, and a letter from the powerful Northern and Central Land councils stating issues that needed to be resolved before they would support the plan.

It also revealed that concerns had been raised by environment organisations, traditional owners and community groups over the development of the plan without a water advisory committee.

Earlier in 2022, 18 water experts from universities across the country had written to the NT government expressing concern about the draft Georgina Wiso plan, describing it as "particularly poor and regressive".

Despite this, the document was signed by Ms Lawler within two days.

At a press conference on Tuesday, Ms Lawler defended her decision.

"Just to be clear, I was the environment minister, I think probably for three or four years, so have had lots of briefings, lots of understanding of the issues around water," she said.

She said the plan had "many many years" of work behind it, and reports don't "just arrive on a minister's desk".

"As an experienced minister, it is about getting your head across it, reading the detail and making a decision," she said.

Earlier, she told Four Corners she did not hurry the approval process.

"I don't think two days is a rush," she said.

"That gave me plenty of time, if I have a briefing, to be able to read a report and respond to that report."

The Georgina Wiso Water Allocation Plan is a legal framework that sets rules for managing the extraction and use of groundwater in a region that covers an area twice the size of Tasmania, from Daly Waters in the north to beyond Tennant Creek in the south.

Within this lies a significant portion of the Beetaloo Basin, where a controversial fracking industry has been given the green light to go ahead.

Ms Howey said the documents revealed "almost universal opposition" to the plan and a "compromised government".

"What it says to me is that we have got decision-makers in the Northern Territory who are willing to sacrifice not just our rivers and aquifers, but [also] sound decision-making and community views, in order to ensure that industry has the water that they need," she said.

Arid Lands Environment Centre chief executive Adrian Tomlinson said "the policies of successive governments have paved the way for massive amounts of water [to be] taken from aquifers", which he said threatened groundwater-dependent ecosystems, fishing and tourism.

“Whilst the spotlight placed on this scandal by Four Corners is certainly welcome, this is by far not the first time that both the NT and federal governments have been warned of these matters, including by communities themselves," he said.

Conservation groups, the Environment Centre NT and Arid Lands Environment Centre are now calling for a royal commission into water management and for the NT government to suspend new water licensing and water allocations in the Roper system."

Anything generated from legislation or imposition by government body is a part of lawfare.  If it takes the use of law or changes to law to get it back, if it is generated by a statutory body, it is lawfare.  Get used to it, you big, bluff, internet bruiser, you.

Once you declare lawfare against your own people, the consequences are incalculable.

I knew I'd get you with that one - hook, line and sinker.... but you - as usual - miss the point - the ganja is required to be laid on thick because the 'business' set up for the Abos who excluded everyone else is failing due to lack of interest.

May it prosper fully into the ground and a new Awakening occur for OUR Ayers Rock.

You can smell the end of all this Aboriginal Supremacism nonsense coming now..... the people have had enough.

                                                                                                                                     

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.

Bloody Victorians....  your arguments are getting more ephemeral every day.
