Here we have Coleman, ...The hubris is breathtaking! Here we have Coleman, whose main brief is to "maximise shareholder value", daring to compare himself with the likes of King, Churchill and Curie. I can only presume that he thinks some quality will rub off by association with these illustrious historical figures. It's downright sleazy.<br /><br />When corporations resort to PR campaigns you know they are feeling the heat. We will now see a round of the usual claptrap about how green they are, what wonderful corporate citizens they are and how much they CARE. <br /><br />Considering the Broome community has found out first hand what Woodside coming to town REALLY means, it's enough to make you sick.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6601355103716900050.post-17619809057159373412013-02-07T16:04:20.279+08:002013-02-07T16:04:20.279+08:00Gas hub future unclear after native title dispute
...Gas hub future unclear after native title dispute<br /><br />The Kimberley gas hub is facing further uncertainty, with the State Government to face competing native title claims over the site.<br /><br />For 15 years, the Jabirr Jabirr and the Goolarabooloo people have had a joint native title claim over the gas hub land, north of Broome. <br /><br />Two years ago, they signed a deal to allow Woodside and the State Government to build the LNG precinct. <br /><br />But the Goolarabooloo families remain fiercely opposed to the project and, after a two-day meeting in Broome, have convinced the group to discontinue the joint claim.<br /><br />The expectation is that two separate claims would then be filed: a Jabirr Jabirr Peoples Native Title Claim and a Goolarabooloo Families Native Title Claim. <br /><br />The implications for the land deal already struck are not clear, but if the new claims are successfully registered, the Government would be legally required to negotiate land access with both groups. <br /><br />Kimberley Land Council chief executive Nolan Hunter says the council will prepare the court documents to seek the discontinuance of the claim, but would not be able to act for either of the two separate groups. <br /><br />..............<br /><br />So I guess the "Illegal Signing" at JPP and the "Greatest Act of Self Determination" signing in Perth can now be hung on Barnett's dunny wall and he can wipe his big fat arse in them,and flush them down his royal dunny.<br /><br />Bergman and his cronies can do likewise with their Monopoly money and go hide under a rock somewhere.<br /><br />More to come no doubt.<br /><br />Can't someone just put this f*cked up monstrosity out of it's misery.<br />Bury it,have the funeral and finished?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
