Tony Abbott’s Aboriginal stooge Warren Mundine wastes no time in pushing Abbott’s agenda

Aboriginal adviser Warren Mundines hits out at green campaigner Geoffrey Cousins October 4, 2013 Dan HarrisonHealth and Indigenous Affairs Correspondent  Tony Abbott’s chief adviser on indigenous affairs has taken a swipe at businessman and environmentalist Geoffrey Cousins over his campaign against a gas hub at James Price Point in the Kimberley, suggesting he ”pull a bit of money out of his own pocket” to compensate Aboriginal people who will miss out on a $1.5 billion benefits package…….In an interview with Fairfax Media, Warren Mundine, the chairman of Mr Abbott’s advisory council on indigenous affairs, lashed Mr Cousins for his role in opposing the James Price Point development……

Mr Cousins said Mr Mundine was misguided, and he had not opposed the gas project but had argued James Price Point was the wrong location. He said processing the gas offshore would make the project even more profitable for Woodside and there was no reason why the company should not pay the promised benefits. http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/aboriginal-adviser-warren-mundines-hits-out-at-green-campaigner-geoffrey-cousins-20131003-2uxg1.html#ixzz2gmwfZi94
