Gee it took you about 5 posts to say something reasonable.

1. its already great problem for us

2. You can only sustain commitment for so long, for Aboriginal communities changes in government, policies, emphasis, priorities have had their toll. But according to you commitment and persistence has never occured from my side of the fence. Whatever.

To quote a well known black philosopher:

"If you have come here to help me, you are wasting your time. But if you have come because your liberation is tied up with mine, then let us work together."

Commitment has yet to arrive with the above in mind.

"Why or how could their objections not be interpreted as quite sinister?"

Read Mirco's article you don't seem to understand what has happened.

"What is the police union objecting to? Their member being charged?"

Beattie paying an ex-judge to investigate after DPP decided the member shouldn't be charged. This unusual course of action is because the person was a cop and an aborigine was killed.

"And finally, why is it that police union expect their members to be above the law?"

They don't. They are outraged because he has been singled out. If the law had taken its normal course it would have ended when the DPP decided not to proceed.

Mjbp,

So what happens to the Coroners findings?

Section 48 of the Coroners Act 2003 states that if a coroner
reasonably suspects a person has committed an offence, the coroner must give the information to the prosecuting authority.

This happenned.

But then the DPP did not give a full account of her reasoning beyond that it was a "tragic accident". She did not simply say there was not enough evidence, she went further and determined the cause of death, something a court of law should only do.

Lets also be reminded that an independent review was sort in both the Fingleton and Volkers’ prosecutions.

If Mirko and the QPU are such legal purists why did we not hear them protest this so called departure from legal back convention then?

Oh, its because its a copper! now i get it.

Rainier,

The selectivity is noticeable. Actually it seems to get worse for QPU if the rumour is correct that they have abandoned Hurley's cause after doing a deal with Beattie. Time will tell whether we see a protest march or strike or if the rumour is correct.
