This is so obscene. "The event was held at the Solomon Hub iron ore precinct. Three-quarters of the hub sits on Yindjibarndi land , and whose Yindjibarndi Aboriginal Corporation is seeking $1 b in royalties and compo for Fortescue’s mining there." afr.com/companies/mining/voi…

Hi Michael, as you're now with FFI I hope you'll read my book Title Fight, which tells the story of the Yindjibarndi battle for justice. It was recently shortlisted for the PM's literary award. lnkd.in/gkfpwSum

The people now applying for jobs with the Albanese govt will have to undergo stringent screening by ASIO. A big issue for ASIO is people having worked overseas for foreign govts. But the same caution isn't applied to former executi…lnkd.in/d2Hsmbu9 lnkd.in/dTMBrMuz

Full credit to Alan Carpenter for introducing a gas reservation policy for WA in mid-2000s, but sadly his Federal colleagues were captured by industry. Nor did the media see this slow motion car crash coming. I called for a reservation policy in my 2012 b…lnkd.in/dCWHgEJT

You've really shown your true colours as a pathetic north shore snob by mocking the way Albo pronounces a few selective words.
18 May 2022
There is little enthusiasm for Albo, other than as a way to kick out a government Aussies are sick of writes @mirandadevine. dailytelegraph.com.au/news/o…

It was a very moving piece and I learnt a lot more about the Forrests. It was good that the ABC included some brief comments on FMG's way of doing business with native title groups. However some of my quotes not included touched on how 20% of Minderoo's i…lnkd.in/gRiDGNVm
