Ark Tribe Trial - Adjourned Again

On Thursday 22 July, Ark Tribe's trial heard all the evidence from key witnesses and will now be adjourned until September 13.

Magistrate David Whittle will receive written and oral submissions on the day. He’ll announce his findings after that on a later date to be determined.

Ark’s lawyers throughout the three day hearing have continually objected to the evidence brought forward, maintaining the case is not only unlawful and illegal but outside of the powers of the ABCC.

It was also revealed during the course of proceedings, that Australian Building and Construction Commission (ABCC) inspector Seamus Flynn admitted he had no evidence that Ark Tribe even attended the union meeting in question. Yet the ABCC’s coercive powers were used anyway.
