Even an idiot knows what 'lawfare' is, champ


So you won't define it for us?

and if you can't see the voice by stealth being pushed by states of the same political colour after a national vote against of 61-39 you clearly do not wish to see - and you are part of the problem for all sides of the questions raised.


It seems like we need to take things a step further and define what you think the voice is.

The states simply do not have the power to alter the constitution to provide a voice to Indigenous Australians via a representative body by use of state-level laws.

One would assume this is what you're talking about when you say Lawfare, because you've so far refused to elaborate.

Quote:
You may explain why you disagree with any of my conclusions, champ - that's as far as your rights go without your infantile gaslighting and silly childish put-downs, champ.  You sailed in here, champ, all full of vim and vigor, spraying about and name-calling without offering one single discussion point - now you think you can demand that others play by your demands when you have never played by the rules yourself...... champ ......


The problem is, champ, that when I do point out not only that I disagree with your conclusions but why, you go into a total meltdown and pretend to be the victim while ignoring all the claims I've made.

An example would be when you posted this story,

Sir Grappler Truth Teller OAM wrote on Jun 14th, 2024 at 1:31pm:


Then followed up with the claim,

Sir Grappler Truth Teller OAM wrote on Jun 14th, 2024 at 8:29pm:
Misuse of funding and refusal to simply return unspent when caught out is just one of the signs of Entitlement™ that drives Lawfare.... and demonstrates that these 'bodies' set up in a discriminatory way for discriminatory purposes, feel they are above the law.


The story you posted didn't mention anything about misused funds or a refusal to return what was unspent.

Your justification of "entitlement" simply didn't happen, at all.

The truth is, the story states that the governments are seeking to recoup nearly $2.7 million in unspent funds from the North Australian Aboriginal Justice Agency (NAAJA) because these funds, initially allocated for specific legal aid purposes, were not utilised within the designated timeframe.

This situation is part of broader efforts to ensure that allocated funds, especially those aimed at essential services like legal aid, are used effectively and as intended.

That's it.

Entirely normal behaviour.

So I disagree with your conclusion because they're entirely made up, as evidence by your own link.

While you've put on a grand song and dance, you've not addressed this.

This is the response I get when I explain why I disagree with any of my conclusions,

Quote:
So, slick - I'll offer you my standard response - you turn around, go back through that door, and come back, knock and start all over again, champ.

Now then - about that Homeland concept... the Two States Solution


Yeah nah.  I'm not interested in platforming your attempts to justify segregation and genocide as a distraction, we're talking about lawfare, the voice and your claims of it being introduced by stealth.

I'm trying to understand why you think things like Indigenous youth deaths in custody, a push to increase tourism at Uluru, a failure of the duty of care resulting in further preventable Indigenous deaths in custody or the state and federal government recouping unspent funds from Indigenous programs are examples of "lawfare" or a step further, examples of the implementation of the voice by stealth.

The onus is not on me to prove those claims, it's on you.  You're the one making them.

Unless you want to clear the air and confirm these aren't examples of Lawfare the voice by stealth?

I think anyone willing to read these threads of yours would benefit from you helping to define what you consider "Lawfare" to be, and since none of these examples are anything close to "The Voice", if you could describe for us what you consider the Voice to be, in terms of the states trying to implement it by stealth, we would all appreciate it.

I do hope you can indulge us with this information because right now, now of what you are posting is consistent or makes sense.

Like I said, I'm just trying to understand.

I didn't realise me describing your behaviour and referring to you as "champ" here,

ProudKangaroo wrote on Jun 15th, 2024 at 12:17am:
Shot yourself in the foot there champ.


Would trigger you so very much...

Truth hurts?

And you've since gone on to call me "champ", which I've learned by your response must be the height of insult, 13 times...

Ouch.  Burn.

I said it once as a throwaway, and again replying to you after your champtrum.

You poor victim.  You're so oppressed.

Given the things you've called me in the past, who would have thought "champ" was the trigger point for you...

I don't know why it's always the self-proclaimed tough guy conservative types that cry the most over the lightest of pushback utilising their own tactics against them.

I mean, you did shoot yourself in the foot.  You posted a link, commented that it meant X, and the link itself disproves that claim as nowhere in there, does it support what you made up.

And you keep running from it, trying to gaslight me, spout diatribe after diatribe and then project all of that onto me as if you're the victim.

I knew you wouldn't be capable of any sort of good faith discussion or debate, but even I wasn't expecting this...

You did in fact shoot yourself in the foot, champ.

Lawfare is a number of things.

1 the process IS the punishment.
2 endless legal challenges to decisions in order to delay, nobble
3 plea bargaining with witnesses - we won't charge you if you testify against the other guy
4 threatening with crippling costs against less well off opponents
5 gambit claims that will be settled out of court to avoid cost and reputations damage

AAP  17/06/2024

White 'idiot' activists told to butt out of Top End

"Idiot" white activists from southern states are blocking economic development opportunities for Indigenous people in the Top End, according to a traditional owner group.

Top End Aboriginal Coastal Alliance Chair, Julius Kernan, told a federal parliamentary inquiry into a controversial mining and manufacturing project that Indigenous Territorians faced many "hurdles".

And siding with interstate environmentalists had previously caused them to "miss out" on the benefits projects bring, he said.

"It is time for our people to be recognised or identified as people to engage with in a culturally appropriate manner and have space to have a say without interruption from non-Indigenous idiots," Mr Kernan told a Senate inquiry examining the Middle Arm development in the Northern Territory on Monday.

It was a response to NT Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price's question about the detrimental effect of interstate environmental activists blocking projects that could bring economic development to Aboriginal people.

Mr Kernan said the group representing people from Top End coastal and sea country areas wants economic development to help improve education outcomes and create jobs for future generations of Indigenous Territorians.

"We want them to fill the roles our people have been missing out on," he said.

Renewable energy company, Suncable, denied helping to greenwash the project, known as the Middle Arm Sustainable Development Precinct by the NT government.

It is already home to the Santos Darwin LNG and the INPEX Ichthys LNG processing facilities, with plans for gas-fracking company Tamboran Resources Limited to take a parcel of land at the site near Darwin.

Suncable Managing Director Cameron Garnsworthy said the company was in talks with the other four "green and forward-facing" future tenants, including prospective hydrogen producer Fortescue Future Industries.

"We don't see ourselves as greenwashing at all," he said.

"We're looking to supply low-cost electrons to those customers and we've entered into a number of (letters of intent) to that effect, which supports that basis of our business going forward."

The other proponents are Tivan and Avenira, with proposed critical mineral processing projects, and renewable energy company TEH2, which wants to develop a green hydrogen production facility

Economic and finance analyst, Joshua Runciman, said the LNG side of the $1.5 billion project, that has Commonwealth backing, was fraught with danger for taxpayers and may not yield an economic return.

He said Tamboran Resources Limited's proposed shale gas project in the Beetaloo Basin was highly uneconomic and not competitive with other suppliers around the globe."

"There are some real risks for taxpayers here, particularly around some of the investment in LNG infrastructure, because I really think Tamboran are going to face an uphill struggle to get financing for that project," he said.

Outside of the Canberra hearing, committee chair, South Australian Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young said Middle Arm would contribute to climate change.

"No wonder the local community, the tourism industry, the fishing industry, the schools, the nurses, the doctors, and the local traditional owners don't want this project," she said.

"It's time that the local Darwin community were listened to by representatives here in Canberra."

Larrakia woman Laniyuk said she had travelled to the inquiry from Darwin to help "protect" her country and people from the project.

"Our land, water, sacred sites, climate and the health of people in the NT - everything's at risk," she said in a statement.

"We stand with First Nations across the NT and Tiwi Islands staunchly opposing toxic gas expansion."

The hearing continues on Tuesday."

Because that's what I understand it to mean.

I'm more interested in what you think it is, because none of those points are articulated in most of the articles you're posting and they don't align with those definitions.

Quote:

You're projecting again. I'm not afraid, I'm trying to understand. You're the one acting afraid, hence the impression of you projecting, because you're not answering the questions put to you and trying to weasel out of doing so.

All you do is run from scrutiny and tell anyone who will listen that you won.

There is no competition.

I'm trying to understand what you mean by the voice and in that same context lawfare.

What you are attributing to them in the content you are posting highlight that you don't understand either of them.

So if you're done running off and boasting in an effort to even convince yourself that it's not just pantomime bravado and you're not in fact running scared, would you like to come back to the table and answer the questions?

You know what I know it to be...

All that bravado there, champ, and you still don't address a single issue.  I need to convince myself of nothing - I merely assemble the news - you all lost about that 'sky channel' thing, didn't you, with most links to 'other' sites ..... but you!  Oh.. you're a doozie!!  You mean you can't see the voice by stealth yet - let alone the way lawfare interweaves with it to generate the very things voted down by the public?  Now I already told you that lawfare has many aspects..... have you actually read any of the things linked?

Just FYI - links that refer directly to lawfare claims that generate the voice by stealth direct often just disappear - not available..... even they are running scared in the knowledge that someone is collecting them.......... what does that tell you?

What is your opinion?  What about some of my commentaries?  Any chance of a direct discussion of those ... or do you prefer simply slagging?  I could get Smithy in to do that - or mothra when she's finished barring up her house after making peace with her local Tribesmen... what kind of neighbourhood is that?  LTYC would just hare off on some ... hare-brained pursuit .... but you?  You lay such claims to superiority!  Surely you can back those up???

Come right in - I know your next move.... come right in...

You're doing it again, and still not answering the question.

The problem is without laying the groundwork and setting the terms, there is no possibility to have a good faith discussion.

And it seems like that's your goal, you have no intention of conducting yourself in that way.

I've got nothing to prove, I'm not making the claims, you are.

What you've posted, that you're calling evidence of Lawfare and the voice by stealth doesn't match even what Frank posted.

So you must have a different definition.

**pulls up rock by warm fire**:-

"Well, lawfare is one of them made up words... it means many things to many people.... but basically to me it means simply using a law, or a regulation, or a departmental policy - say within a department that looks after river water - where the side with the deepest pockets can simply take any argument to court, meaning that the other guy, who usually is a single person or company - standing alone - has limited pockets.  You saw that with the attempted takeover of the Common where we used to live... in floated this fancy barrister and his lawyer wifey - they came up with the brilliant idea - to suit themselves, of course - that the Common - held by everyone for equal use for generations - should be restricted to people who would run ten cattle on it.  Naturally the locals were up in arms... some of them fattened two or three - maybe even five - so they would be cut out of the free range Common.
So the lawyers strutted about, flashing their deep pockets, and said they'd take it to court then!!! One of the kindlier locals took them aside and whispered - "You do that and some here will take it to the gun!"  Well - that brilliant idea soon lost its lustre for the lawyers and they felt outcast and out-gunned, so to speak, by sheer numbers.... sad, innit?

Lawfare is just a way of waging a war but using available piss-poor 'laws' and such and the equally piss poor intellect of many in the judiciary, and of many of their uninformed decisions and 'interpretations'.  Let's just talk about 'land claims' here.  Now it's only this very weekend that the media has actually reported that an actual court actually laid down the limitations and extent of 'native title claim' - and very specifically, too!   What had been happening - under the lawfare generated by some activists - was that stupid courts were allowing 'native title' to be misinterpreted as 'absolute freehold ownership' - which it was and is not.  They were allowing this to happen - and clearly for reasons that they wanted it to - so as to create endless disputes and arguments leading to further lawfare and sometimes even physical conflicts - where the dumbest courts in the universe who've never set foot outside their fairy floss castles, could decide on the 'rights' of the 'poor suffering applicants' - who BTW were demanding, not asking for justice.

Now, of course - that's all changed - and always remember that these kinds of things are done over a few good whiskeys in the bar, between parliamentarians and 'judges' they appoint - and the reality has become that the courts WILL lay out the realities and limitations of 'title' to lands.... they've been told to by their political masters ... their direct paymasters ... who can smell the way the wind is blowing in their faces.....

Now a lot of idjits here and elsewhere jump up and down and rant and rave when I discuss such things truthfully... honest discussion is something they are incapable of doing over anything - while assiduously avoiding the simple reality that I also discuss the faults of such 'title' when it comes to what I view as rightful full ownership of a portion of land for the real claimants, with the right to build etc.

Of course, you'll never get idjits to accept that they are wrong.... even when they are told by one of those tame 'courts' that they are and always have been.

I guess they're never going to get over the Federal court giving a claim to a widespread group, and then carefully laying out what that actually means - right to use non-private property, same as everyone else - and absolutely no rights of Ownership - no right to build a home or anything, just go out and erect a tent.... temporarily only and pick up sticks for a fire or to make a spear or boomerang or didgeridoo.... and not try to prevent anyone else from doing the same.

Took a long time - a lot of work by people like me with no money to speak of.... but it's all laid down.  Now all we have to do is get these courts and governments to actually give these people some land of their own... Freehold.  Lawfare works in funny ways and in many ways ........

Hope I haven't bored you...... but what a great victory to have the court TOLD to lay down the realities of 'native title' for a change and cut down on the eternal conflicts failures have created in the past.... now we can all start to move forward... Native title terms and conditions are finally settled - now let's get those people some land of their own ......."

Thanks Grap.

Is it fair to summarise that as the following,

You believe that Lawfare refers to the use of legal systems and principles by wealthier parties to overpower less financially equipped opponents, often leading to conflicts and misinterpretations, particularly in land claims. It exploits the judiciary's weaknesses, causing disputes and you've highlighted native title as one that matters to you.

Recent clarifications have distinguished native title from absolute ownership, reducing conflicts and enabling progress towards fair land distribution for native claimants.

Is that an accurate summation?

You believe that Lawfare refers to the use of legal systems and principles by wealthier any parties to overpower less financially equipped opponents in some circumstances,
to create a deterrent to opposing some issue by demonstrating a serious cost in doing so given the unbalance in funding
,
with the unbalanced outcomes that this creates
often leading to conflicts and misinterpretations, particularly in land claims.
It is used as a tactic and part of a strategy to gain control over what is demanded, and is, in essence, a form of bullying, ESPECIALLY when one 'side' has the backing and full financial support of a government body with unlimited funds compared to any opposition.
  It
can
exploits the judiciary's and law's weaknesses
and/or vagueness
, causes unresolved and ongoing disputes
by failing to provide a satisfactory resolution suitable to all stakeholders
and you've highlighted native title as one that matters to you
and at least 61% of the Australian populace.
.

No.  Corrected for you partially without going into a book for you.  Not as simple as you'd like to see it.
