Prof Langton's been rather quiet lately ! Worn out from all these achievements perhaps ?

"spiteful attacks on the Catholic Church"

Well,
That's about the only option left to draw & keep attention on the insidious hypocrisy by the outfit that really doesn't do anything to help end suffering en masse.
When romp & pomp have more money & resources spent on them than the poor suffering then it becomes pretty obvious where the priorities of such outfits stand !
Don't want negative perception ? Don't give it !

Paul,

I never claimed that greens are pedophiles and while two ex electoral candidates have been arrested many greens are upright if somewhat deluded citizens. Note that the first candidate was caught in possession of child porn, and what exactly he was charged with was not reported and the second has been charged with multiple and varied sex offenses, both with substantially more solid evidence against them than was ever presented against Pell which never stopped you screaming his guilt.

That you are still defending the 2 pedogreens shows that you are no better than the Catholic church which you have continuously vilified.

As far as Pell goes I made it clear even during the first trial that due to the lack of evidence that I held no firm opinion of his actual guilt or innocence, but that on the weak evidence presented by the prosecution at his trial that there was insufficient evidence for a conviction, a opinion shared unanimously by all 7 of the high court judges.

Individual,

Professor Langton spoke on Aboriginal deaths in custody.
It was reported in the news reports the day before she
planned to march in the Black Lives Matter Melbourne
rally which called for an end to Aboriginal deaths in
custody and solidarity for the US protests.

She's also been very busy in her job as co-chair of a
senior advisory group convened by Indigenous Affairs
Minister Ken Wyatt designed to drive discussion on
giving Indigenous Australians a voice at all levels
of government. Then of course there's also her job as
foundation chair of Australian Indigenous Studies at
the University of Melbourne that's very time consuming.

Unlike you - she actually works and has a purpose in
life.

You're just a "key board warrior". Doing your stuff.
If it gives you a buzz - keep it up.

Foxy,
How ? Is she telling them not carry on in a manner that invariably gets them taken into custody ? Have you got any links related to her results ?
All I ever get to hear is talks & recommendations. What about results ?

Individual,

Any program to be achieved takes time and effort.
And negativity and criticism does not help.
All Prof. Langton can do is speak out, make
recommendations, and policy suggestions and
invite appropriate bodies and organisations
including governments to take actions. Miracles don't
happen over night.

You accuse her of not speaking out when in fact she
does much more than just speak out.

What have you ever done that has had an impact in
your lifetime for the community around you.
Her record speaks for itself.

I can't understand your continued attempts at trying
to demean her. As a previous public servant - you should
be well aware that change takes time and effort.
However, Prof. Langton is one person who does not give up.

So stick that in your pipe and smoke it!
