Greens say Triple J Hottest 100 date change means no more harm for Aborigines by celebrating arrival of people who brought radio
Monday, 27 November 2017
The Greens are thrilled that "Australia can now enjoy the countdown on a date that doesn’t cause harm and hurt to our First Peoples" - presumably by bringing them such innovations as the wheel, electricity, medicine..............
And radio.
Thanks to reader J.
Radio triple j moves Hot 100 from Australia Day
Popular radio station triple j will move the date of its iconic Hottest 100 countdown amid increasing public pressure concerning Australia Day.
The iconic music countdown, which first aired almost 30 years ago, will now take place over two days on the fourth weekend of January. The next Hottest 100 Weekend will next take place on 27 January 2018.
Intense public debate scrutinising the Australia Day date has divided the nation in recent years, with critics saying the day is insensitive to the plight and history of indigenous Australians.
The Hottest 100 countdown was the subject of a widespread campaign last year, with critics imploring the broadcaster to change the date. The youth focused radio station says it decided to change the date after conducting an online survey asking their listeners whether they should change the date. The survey found 60% of participants were in favour of moving the countdown to a different date.
triple j say they and the ABC have no stance on the date of Australia Day and that the Hottest 100 was never intended as an Australia Day celebration on their website. “The Hottest 100 wasn’t created as an Australia Day celebration. It was created to celebrate your favourite songs of the past year.”

Another gift from Turnbull to Shorten.
Monday, 27 November 2017
Bill Shorten should have been ground into the earth long ago.
Instead, Turnbull has made him smile. A lot.
Great work Chairman.

Even after stopping Wilson's first attempt to steal $160K from the AWU - John Cain Jr, Bob Smith and Bernard Murphy facilitated his 2nd effort
Sunday, 26 November 2017
WILSON's first attempt to steal the money
On 14 July 1995 WILSON wrote a cheque for $160,770 drawn on the AWU Members Welfare Association and made out to a CBA bank account styled "Construction Industry Fund" which he, WILSON controlled.
On 14 July 1995 the cheque was presented to the CBA for negotiation into the Construction Industry Fund.
On that same day, 14 July 1995 Maurice Blackburn (solicitors for the Victoria Branch of the AWU under secretary Bob Smith) instructed the CBA to freeze all Victorian AWU bank accounts. As a result Wilson's AWU Members Welfare Association cheque for $160K was not met on presentation and the funds remained frozen.
