Warren Mundine claims to be Indigenous when he wants to just be recognized as any other Australian. Well, that seems to have proven to be a load of bullshit since he expects special treatment claiming he was dudded by KPMG. KPMG went ahead and treated him just as they would any other Australian, but Mundine the No advocate jumped on the “I’m a proud Indigenous Australian bandwagon” Yes that request in Uluru Statement for the same Voice which all other colonial countries have systemically given in one form or another to their FNPs. Mundine voted for Australia to remain the lone global exception. Well, Warren got what he wished a rejection like any other Australian from a company that supported the Yes vote. One wonders how Mundine intends carrying out his threat and with whose backing?
Warren Mundine sent an extraordinary series of angry and expletive-riddled text messages to a KPMG partner after the firm cancelled an invitation for him to address staff following his request for a $10,000 fee.
Mundine used the N-word to describe how he felt the big four firm had treated him over many months, before warning the partner he was “going to treat you cunts like you treated me!”
“I’m a proud Aboriginal man,” he said in the text messages. “I have [had] a gutful of KPMG. I’m going to treat you cunts like you treated me!
“And for me to talk like this tells you how angry I am.”
Remember that old saying about giving people fish and you might feed some but give them rods and they’ll feed a whole community. Abbott gifted Mundine and News Corp with money and they aren’t even private schools. The taxpayer paid but that action did little to close the gap between us and remote communities.
Australian Indigenous Education Foundation (AIEF), a Rupert Murdoch linked indigenous foundation, has been labelled a ‘game changer’. Is it?
Some experts said they weren’t opposed to boarding schools, but questioned whether an expansion of AIEF’s model was a good path to closing the gap in education.
Guenther said the AIEF was:
not a program designed to build equity or to address so-called disadvantage. It’s a program designed to justify the use of public funds … to fund a program that in some way does the opposite.
“By supporting that handful of kids, as well-deserving as they might be, they are taking money that could be going into remote schools to give a better education to those who are left behind. Those that don’t meet the eligibility criteria, those that really do need a leg-up – it bypasses those people altogether.”
“If schools were funded properly, in their communities, to deliver a quality education, then that is equally, if not more, likely to close the gap because you’re going to be then supporting those young people who need the help a lot more.”

1) Mundine says he will join the Uluru Council if YES23 wins. However, he doesn’t even begin to say who will vote for him.
2) He wanted to run for preselection in Marise Payne’s vacated seat and better represent his white constituency as does Jacinta Price. Backed down for flipflopping on the No Campaign
3) Indigenous Australians see them as “Plastic” Dutton’s Ken and Barbie
4)“The fact is that most Indigenous Australians are doing fine,” he said. 60% live below the “poverty line”. Another 30% live either on the edge or under a glass ceiling
5)“It is wrong to tell young people growing up in these families that they are disadvantaged because they are Indigenous. So Mundine Speaking for himself and a very small minority. While 83% simply recognize a statistical reality that’s not “doing fine”
6)”It’s wrong to tell them, as I’ve heard many times during this campaign, they are more likely to go to prison than to university. Because it’s just not true.”
However, a 2015 ABC RMIT Fact Check found that it is true, that Indigenous men are more likely to go to jail than to university.
7)”Imagine if all the celebrities, corporates, law firms, sporting codes, religious groups, local, state, territory and federal governments, unions and agencies and bureaucracies had devoted all that energy, time, money and other resources they’ve devoted to the Voice to getting Indigenous children into school.” It’s why they turned because they have witnessed the LNP failure to do anything
8)“What I’m talking about is whether you agree with victimhood or not, or whether you agree with colonial intergenerational trauma, there is a stage you have to move on,” Mr Mundine said. Guess that attitude also applies to women who have been raped according to Mundine “move on”
9) The Germany teaches its shameful Nazi history and changed their society to prevent the past from repeating itself. The Norwegians and NZers have given the Sami and Maoris Voice and do the same. Other countries have a Bill of Human Rights enshrined in their constitution and/or laws. We don’t. We have Race built into our Constitution and the Liberals wanted to close the UNAHRC while Abbott promised to rid us of sections of the Racial Discrimination Act. He promised to “change the laws”
Should we feel proud that stand shoulder-to-shoulder and closer to Russia, China, North Korea and Israel?

Warren Mudine says he represents Indigenous Australians but doesn’t name any of them nor do you ever see him with an Indigenous crowd standing behind him when speaking. Then he goes on to say if Yes wins he will jump ship and “try” to be elected to represent Indigenous Australians while also trying to get preelected by the No Voter’s LNP Senate ticket. Meanwhile, Mundine is a foundation member and the spokesperson for Advance otherwise known as Fair Australia funded by non-other than the American, ultra Right-wing, anti- Climate Change group, the Heritage Foundation who make the KKK, neo-Nazis and Christian Nationalists look like political amateurs when it comes to influencing global politics.
Warren Mundine is the ex-president of the ALP we know only too well that he’s an ambitious self-interested operator cut from the same cloth as Scott Morrison who currently supports his preselection for that Senate seat. Mundine worked for Murdoch’s Sky News for heaven’s sake with a $300K+ grant from the LNP. The man chases money and power and has the political integrity of a yo-yo. He’s currently advocating anything and everything in order not to entirely destroy his opportunities post-October 14th.. The man is a Golem and in my view that only represents himself. He’s a “Coconut” to many indigenous Australians who it’s said divorced his wife because she was too black.
Mass marches have taken place across the nation, with Indigenous leaders calling for those who support a constitutionally enshrined advisory body to cut through disinformation they say is being spread by the ‘no’ side.

“When we talk about the voice, we’re not talking about a voice to be heard. We’re talking about our voice to be listened to,” he said.
The government decided to contribute funding to a Sky News show hosted by Warren Mundine after Mundine approached the office of Indigenous affairs minister Nigel Scullion, Senate Estimates heard on Friday afternoon. There was also no clear guideline to measure the show’s success when deciding to double the funding for a second season, to an overall total of $330,000.
BuzzFeed News revealed in January that the Coalition government gave Mundine’s company $220,000 in 2018 as a grant towards funding his show, Mundine Means Business, on the cable TV news network, following an earlier award of funding in 2017.
In Jan. 2019 Mundine was announced as the new Liberal candidate for the marginal NSW seat of Gilmore, replacing the previously pre-selected candidate Grant Schultz.
“You can see the problem, though, can’t you?” asked McAllister. “What has taken place is that a person who is known to be very close to the prime minister, is sitting on the Prime Minister’s Indigenous Advisory Council, receives a direct grant which no other person was able to apply for, to develop a television program to raise his profile, and then that person nominates as a candidate for the Liberty party. I think the use of public resources in this way is totally unacceptable.”

Mundine was announced this week as the Liberal candidate for the marginal NSW seat of Gilmore at the upcoming federal election. Mundine had previously been the ALP national president, and had later considered a tilt at NSW parliament with the Liberal Democrats. He joined the Liberal Party this week.
AdvertisementBefore his return to politics, Mundine had been a Sky News host and frequent commentator on the cable news channel. Mundine’s show, Mundine Means Business, was launched in 2017 as a vehicle for showcasing Indigenous businesses, and aired on weekends on Sky.
The show is partly funded through a Commonwealth government grant awarded to Mundine’s business Nyungga Black Group, through a closed non-competitive selection process, according to the grant information.
The grant, running from June 18, 2018 to Aug. 1 this year is for a total of $220,000. The Department of Prime Minister & Cabinet confirmed to BuzzFeed News that the grant was for Mundine’s Sky News show.
