PASSIVE COMPLICITY
produced, plagiarized and sometimes written by
Quentin Cockburn, QC and Cecil Poole CP & Bar

Passive Complicity allows us to rant, rave and laugh at life’s PC’s and then to do nothing.
This week in Passive Complicity takes a special look at Justice.

Firstly through the eyes of  Mine Tinket, and then Criminologists Harry Blagg and and Thalia Anthony report their 5 year study of law enforcement in remote Central Australian communities, with unexpected(?) findings.

Whiteside sees and hears indigenous singer Kutcha Edwards, (but maybe not in the way Kutcha anticipates), after which Cecil Poole gives a brief first hand account of his experience with Justice in a small remote community, and  an extract from Arena Magazine shows a similar picture.
After another Mine Tinket, looking at Justice, our new correspondent Tarquin O’Flaherty explores the role of schoolyard bullying in Passive Complicity and in the general societal acceptance of current injustice here.

This weeks’ Musical Dispatch from the Front takes a different tack on Justice, discussing language, disempowerment, documentary – “Coniston”, and resilience.

Poetry Sunday brought Lionel Fogarty back again with “Injustices Improved”.

Ira Maine discusses the social import of country roads


We finish the week today with Design Doctor grappling with acronyms.
