1. The AFL statement only deals with the AFLs Indepedent Commission investigation, and its actions that were already in place and others that will be occuring further.Terry wrote: ↑Wed May 31, 2023 8:02 am So the mob that recently endorsed the Indigenous Voice to parliament has now basically called it's former indigenous players at Hawthorn 'liars'!!!!!!! All class!
Yep, Gilty and the cover-up squad have hung 'em out to dry. Nothing to see here. Move on. Just a misunderstanding. If this is not the case could any of our fumble fans here please explain exactly what has happened? Bummy?? Beatup?? Fwed??? Anyone? Anywhere? Anyhow?
The only good part of this cesspit story is that the indigenous folk involved are now reported to be going to the Human Rights Commission and starting civil litigation to continue their complaints.
Let's see if gilty and the boyos at fumblehouse can shut these one's down. This will be a big test for the cover-up squad.
Stay tuned!!!!!!
2. At no stage does it call anyone a liar or claim anything of the sort. The leagues statement kind of says the opposite of that.Today the AFL, and the six complainants (“Complainants”) who took part in the process (“Parties”), with the endorsement of the Independent Panel including panel Chairman Bernard Quinn KC, have resolved as follows;
* No adverse findings have been made in the Independent Investigation against any of the individuals against whom allegations have been made (“Individual Respondents”).
* The Complainants wish to resolve all differences with the AFL.
* As a result of this agreement, the Complainants do not wish to pursue the Independent Panel Investigation (which they wholeheartedly supported), or make any claims against the AFL in any other process (including the AHRC) or Court in relation to their allegations.
*The Complainants agree that their allegations should not be further investigated by the Independent Panel.
and later
The AFL has now terminated the Independent Panel Investigation with the consent of the Complainants with no charges to be brought against any Person subject to the AFL Rules as a result of the Independent Investigation.The Complainants acknowledge that the Independent Panel established by the AFL was a positive and constructive process for their allegations to be fully and fairly investigated in a culturally safe way and that they have only agreed to the termination of that process because of this agreement.
This agreement does not preclude the AFL from bringing a charge under AFL Rules against Hawthorn FC with respect to the commissioning and oversight of the Binmada Report.
Turns out one of the guys involved - Jason Burt - has come out and said its not all its cracked up to be.The AFL acknowledges each one of the Complainants feels hurt, pain and anguish following their time at the Hawthorn FC.
3. The AFLs statements specifically states that it can continue to bring charges against the Hawthorn Football Club.
This agreement does not preclude the AFL from bringing a charge under AFL Rules against Hawthorn FC with respect to the commissioning and oversight of the Binmada Report.
