I know that, but are they needed in the AHRC report.

 

The answer is NO, they are not.

 

 


The report issued was not a summary. It was the full report.

 

Nothing should be left out.

You know what else has been bizarre in this whole TRiggs affair – Tim Wilson one of the 2 HR commissioners working with Triggs and Abbotts right winged stooge planted to keep the AHRC on track and who was extremely vocal about the Labor Party prior to being handed his plum role – has said absolutely…

 

NOTHING!

 

Yet he is as responsible for this report as any other person within the Commission.

 

It's the type of thing that Sarah Two dads would get hold of, hold up to make an emotive media story

and probably make wrong judgements about when telling it.

 

Report - written with words, number in detention, number abused.

 

 

The whole thing is a waste of time and money because nothing will change,

regardless of who is in Gov't.

 

And Labor will be so shyte scared if they get back in that the boats will start coming again

that they will keep the policies that are in place because they know that if they don't,

the cries will go out and they will get kicked out again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

A person who thinks those with hyphenated names have two dads obviously has a severe lack of intelligence.

No, she made a mistake and instead of correcting her the childmen bayed for her blood.

 

 

a mistake?  she was very specific:

 

Triggs: "...I've been there three times, you cannot get into any of the sections without going through armed guards, etc etc"
Bowles: "we do not have armed guards"
Triggs: "...I don't need to (garbled)..."
Bowles: "we do not have armed guards"
Triggs: "...to describe them as not prisons..."
Bowles: "we do not have armed guards President, I'd like you to acknowledge that"
Triggs: "I'm not sure, but I'm, I'm, um, aahhhh"
Bowles: "I'd like you to acknowledge that, we do not have armed guards"
Triggs: "I will check that with my clients then because some of those guards are armed..."
Bowles: "well I, again, again President, I would like you to check that and I would like you to retract that"

 

 

 

if there were no armed guards -

what made her think she had to go

through them to get to every section? 

 

and when she was corrected - why 

did she ignore it?

Just waiting for the howls of denial or that this was fabricated.

 

 

I thought certain people here had watched all of the proceedings !!!

if you take the reason i use two dads literally, you obviously can't see why I use it but it is not the above.

 

I'll call her Sarah useless from now on.

 

 

Nowhere in the report, that I could find, are the words 'armed guards'.  

 

There were 2 statements of 'prison-like' within the report.  

 

And 'the bedrooms are essentially small cells'.

 

When Ms Triggs was faced with one of the difficult questions, after a stutter she started the don't-you-know-who-I-am routine, citing that she'd been in law for 40 years, etc. That sort of comeback really riles me and appears to be a belittling bullying tactic.

I also looked, it wasn't in the report, it was in the hearings.

Yes, agree re the "don't you know" routine.

Pompous to say the least, over inflated idea of her own importance.

When is it alleged that she said those words you've quoted her as saying?

 

At the time the armed guard comment was made it should have been corrected.  They knew it was a draft report which was presented to them so they could go through it and provide correct information where they found errors or didn't agree.  It is the standard procedure they go through.  They explained it very clearly, half a dozen times.

 

The lack of standards was demonstrated by the bullying interrogation by a couple of the senators.  

It is standard for witnesses to agree to take questions on notice when they don't have the details at hand..

 

When the draft is submitted they have every right to expect that it will go through the proper procedure and to expect that they'll be treated with respect in Senate hearings.
