I’m not really sure why you feel the need to second guess what he said but the comment was made in relation to why Amy was not taking part in the afl investigation.

Her lawyer volunteered a parallel between the hawthorn investigation “not Turing out to be safe” and the afl investigation.

You’re coming across as the opposite of these north supporters you claim are trying to muddy the waters by speaking ill of the hawthorn report and the abc article, by employing a dogged defence of both despite even an actual participant speaking negative of the hawthorn report.

Almost like you have an unswayable view that won’t be changed no matter what anyone says.

Odd

For the record, despite the terms of reference specifically naming the hawthorn report as a matter for investigation, a key participant complaint about it, and potential leaks from the company that conducted it, the allegations against Clarkson are still being investigated.

It’s ok to question the process but still hold a single minded view that Clarkson be stripped of his livelihood as you so desperately seem to want.

None of what you wrote really addressed what sr36 wrote.

Some people seem to be implying that Amy (via her lawyer) is claiming the report is now incorrect or somehow to be ignored, despite her lawyer's comments appearing to be much more in line with sr36's interpretation of it.

My recollection is that he was talking about anonymity and pressure to retell and defend her story. And obviously talking to Egan has put her anonymity at risk and pressured her to participate in further inquiries where she would be retelling her grief and also be challenged. It's opened her up to wellbeing risks.

Past players and their families were asked to anonymously participate in Egan's report process, to be given to Hawthorn. That was what they signed up for.

They're now being asked to go before a panel of legal people, in a very high profile AFL commissioned investigation.

“People (north supporters) insinuating the report was incorrect or should be ignored”

Just another misrepresentation to add to the pile

It's part of the process of devaluing the report so Clarkson gets away with any bad behaviour.

And yet it’s not.

It’s a legitimate discussion point based on a terms of reference set to investigate it and a participant calling it unsafe.

Yet you and others see fit to silence anyone (as long as they are a north supporter) even discussing it in a thread called “hawthorn racism review”.

And we also get to be comply misrepresented and misquoted.

Even if we agree that Clarksons actions need to be, and are being investigated.

Amazing

There it is again.

That nice little wordplay to make it seem much more nefarious than it is, to discredit the report.

Has Amy (or her lawyer) said that any comment she's made about her experiences were untrue?

Are you deliberately using the word 'unsafe' in the way you are to imply it means something different to how it's intended?

Is Amy feeling unsafe because people are attacking her credibility and story of her experience in defense of Clarkson, after she only agreed to speak on terms of confidential anonymity, but she's now been thrust in to an AFL tabled panel, where she'll lose that anonymity (at least partially) and be exposed to something beyond simply being asked to tell her story?

I’m discussing the report mate. Just like the thread title. And I’m using the words her lawyer said on Amy’s behalf.

I’m sorry that’s not ok with you given the only aspect of this broad issue you are ok discussing is how bad Clarkson is.

Given I don’t believe that, it’s odd that I would say that.

But you obviously know more about my opinion than me

Perhaps stop writing things in such a way as to imply things you don't mean then.

Sounds to me a lot like Amy is taking issue with the AFL lead process and how it's going against things they were promised at point of requesting their participation in Egan's investigation.

For example the below are some quotes from the Marque Lawyers statement;


"In refusing to participate in this unsafe process (the AFL Investigation), Amy is refusing to consent to the silencing tactics of the AFL."

It is not culturally safe

A core tenet of cultural safety is that it is determined by the recipients of care, rather than its providers.

The AFL does not have the appropriate appetite, expertise or strategy to effectively address the matters raised in the Hawthorn Cultural Safety Review

The very first step taken by the AFL in the investigation has been to demand production of all personal information, including medical records, held by Hawthorn in relation to the players and their families. There is no safety in this; no regard to or respect for privacy, no cultural sensitivity, only brutal intrusion upon the most intimate and traumatic experiences in the lives of the victims of Hawthorn’s mistreatment.

The players and their families were promised anonymity by Hawthorn; now the club is asking them to consent to the disclosure of their personal information and doing nothing to protect them

Too much is being made of this. The AFL don't have the powers to investigate non-AFL things. They'll investigate the reviews ToR and whether they think it was an appropriate review to commission and whether it was broad enough to able to make findings on the requested things - and I'm pretty confident that the commissioning of that report will be viewed poorly. But they don't have the scope to investigate Egan's conduct - he's not part of the AFL. I don't think anyone disbelieves that these accusations were made both to Egan and Jackson. The Inquiry is about the accusations.

So they spat the dummy because the terms of reference weren’t exactly what they wanted?

I doubt any party including the AFL got everything they wanted in the terms of reference.

Honestly: The PR campaign in here is interesting. You give it away with the obtuse mis-quoting, among other things.

I'm flattered that you think North could afford a PR campaign

Egan: "Hey, can you participate in this report process? I know we're asking you to recount one of the most traumatic experiences in your life but we just need you do it the once and you'll be anonymous."

* some time later *

AFL: "Hey, we had that report handed to us, we know you wanted to be anonymous and only wanted to do it once but we've requested all the personal details so we know who you are and want you to attend court to be cross examined on that really traumatic experience. We're happy to have your input on the Terms of Reference though."

* some time later *

Also the AFL: "Hey, thanks for providing some ToR suggestions, we've decided we're going to ignore all of those but still definitely want you to come and recount that really traumatic experience in front of a panel of people you don't know, and potentially have to answer questions from the lawyer(s) representing the person(s) who you accuse of doing such a thing."

* some time later *

Anonymous internet poster: "Can't believe they spat the dummy for not getting exactly what they wanted."

Add in Hawks:

"How about you come in and tell the story face to face to those you're accusing. It'll be a real smooth mediation - which sounds a bit like meditation, which it is".
