Sisters Of Saint Joseph who warned about lies against The Voice referendum have yet to inform the public that the Aboriginal art that adorns their Mary MacKillop Museum was painted by an Indian masquerading as Aboriginal 


The fake Aboriginal art that adorns the ceiling of the Mary MacKillop Museum is a matter of public record. As Ross Bowden explains it: 
In 1998 the self-described  Aboriginal' artist Sakshi Anmatyerre, whose name before he changed it by deed poll was Farley French. and was apparently born in India, did a huge ceiling painting in a mixture of Aboriginal styles for the Mary MacKillop Museum in Sydney. When questions were raised about his ethnic origins he fled the country.

As previously reported on this blog, The Sisters Of St Joseph Of The Sacred Heart have, under the pretext of protesting what they see as misinformation about the Voice Referendum,called for misinformation laws of the type proposed by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's Labor Government.


In their words: 

Strangely, there is no federal law that bans untruthful or misleading political advertising, a situation that is supporting the level of disinformation that is abroad and which feeds wild and fearful claims that appear on social media.

Meanwhile they continue to seek donations from the public, without providing any information on how the funds raised have been spent.

Apart from their own organistaion  the Sisters also solicit on their website donations for another charity, Mary McKillop Today. Financial statements are provided by the persons in charge of that charity. It is interesting to note that the Sisters provided a donation of AUD 2 Million to that charity in the year ended 30 June 2022: 


During the year, the Company made payments totaling $75,067 (2021: $75,385) to the Sisters of St Joseph relating to strata fees, property outgoings, insurance and phone and stipends.





The notes to the accounts state :


Mary MacKillop Today aims to ensure all people can realise their dignity through life long learning. We achieve this through teacher training and parent education, health literacy and community-based rehabilitation, and vocational training programs in Peru, Timor-Leste, Papua New Guinea and Fiji. From 1 July 2018, Mary MacKillop International and Mary MacKillop Foundation joined together to form Mary MacKillop Today, the new flagship ministry of the Sisters of Saint Joseph. Mary MacKillop Today will continue to work alongside people and communities in Papua New Guinea, Peru, Fiji and Timor-Leste, while also supporting vulnerable Australians through our First Nations Scholarships, Community Grants and Financial Inclusion programs. 


The Notes also state:


5 Financial Sustainability 

5.4 Develop and finalise a funding arrangement with the Sister of Saint Joseph. 


It does appear from the above that the Sisters intend the Mary McKillop Today charity to be an external arm, seed funded out of their own resources, to carry out their projects, with funds from others. It is a useful vehicle of carrying out their objectives with even more external funding, without having to disclose their own finances.  So called misinformation laws which they support can help keep their activities hidden from scrutiny.

Ben Robert-Smith : How was Justice Anthony Besanko of the Federal Court able to find that the crime of murder has a civil twin, which can be determined on a balance of probabilities

Most if not all reports have been at pains to stress that the finding was based on a balance of probabilities, and not beyond a reasonable doubt, for the matter was a civil and not criminal matter.  However,  reading his summary one can immediately see that Justice Besanko  found not that Roberts-Smith had committed murder but that the " respondents had, (on  a balance of probabilities) established the substantial truth"  that  Roberts-Smith had committed murder.  However, murder is a  crime and a finding of murder in a criminal court (which is the court in which crimes like murder can be determined!) inv

Who authorised former NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller to say anything about the Berejiklian era quarantine fee and why? Fuller's notice confirms suspicion that NSW Berejiklian government had no basis to impose the quarantine fee, nor quarantine persons who were COVID negative

 by Ganesh Sahathevan      Premier Gladys Berejiklian with NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller and Brigadier Mick             Garraway Who authorised former  NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller  to say anything about the  Berejiklian era  quarantine fee and why? Fuller's issuance of his  COVID  quarantine notice, and subsequent silence, would seem to confirm suspicions raised on this blog that NSW's Berejiklian government had no basis to impose its quarantine fee. Fuller's conduct also adds to suspicion that the Berejiklian government did not have the authority, even under its COVID emergency powers, to quarantine persons who were COVID negative. International arrivals had to test negative for COVID before boarding their flights to Sydney, and tests had to be administered within 72 hours of departure. Quarantine on arrival of those who exhibited no COVID symptoms was quite likely unnecessary. It did, of course help bolster Gladys Berejiklian's approval ratings. TO BE RE
