People Against Racist Incarceration And Hypocrisy

DENIS SPITS DUMMY !

Any “right minded person” would agree that public allegations of “corruption” and “total corruption” against the Northern Territory’s judicial system, by the NT’s Attorney General (and Chief Minister) Denis Burke are the most damaging possible to its reputation.

The inadequacy of Mr Burke’s apology for the damage done to the NT Courts by his anti-social behaviour is demonstrated by its swift and cynical negation by the NT News.

“... the intent of his comments should not be ignored.”
“... the thrust of his remarks was correct.”
“... the real meaning of his comments should
not be ignored.”
( Editorial - NT News 25 February, 2000 )

Obviously respect for the NT judicial system has not been restored.

Mr Burke has grievously damaged the reputation of every judge and lawyer in the NT and nearly caused the Territory’s “first constitutional crisis.” (NT News 25 February, 2000)

Under mandatory sentencing - championed by Mr Burke us “grubs” would be facing a prison term, for causing infinitely less damage to the people of the Northern Territory.

“Totally corrupt” is not a ‘negotiable’ accusation.
“Totally corrupt” - includes, political discrimination, class bias and moral cowardice.

JUSTICE SYSTEM

DENIS BURKE's apology after stating on radio that he considered,
"the justice system is corrupt".

"I apologise unreservedly for using the word corrupt with the implications it carries because that was unintended. ( I meant ) corrupted in the way a computer can be corrupted."

As a way of further explanation, how about our Chief Minister's point that the word "gay" had changed over the years, so...

Still not convinced?

Well, how about: "Bastard...can now mean a whole range of things."

Yep. He said it!

OTHER DENISISM's

INTERPRETER SERVICE: Mr Burke has described providing an Aboriginal interpreter service as giving a wheelchair to someone who won't walk. He expressed dismay over reaction to his excuse of why so many Aboriginal people, for whom English is a second language, have to face the courts or go to hospital without being able to understand what is happening.

"It's sad that a leader can't speak the truth quite frankly without being labelled a racist or a victim basher."

MANDATORY SENTENCING: "So what?" is how Denis Burke said he would react to United Nation's criticism of the NT's mandatory sentencing laws.

Historically in Australia, human rights abuses and secrecy have been inseparable. Now the World is learning this fact. The reactionary rantings of Denis Burke reveal more than he can ever hope to conceal.

Unemployment: Burke's answer to the unemployment problem in remote Australia is not to provide meaningful jobs where people live.

He told John Law's listeners on radio: "You've got to encourage people to...have the confidence to move away from the communities so they can work and compete and maybe send money back to their Communities."
