"transparency noun (OPEN) the quality of being done in an open way without secrets: Honesty, openness & sincerity.".
Shame on them for taking the word transparency and using it to glorify themselves and also for hijacking the word. And also for taking the true meaning of the word and behaving in opposition to it.
They do have a reputation for behaving in an underhanded way and they are just proving that. That is their main problem and a lot of the public know that - that they are extreme. If they feel that there is genuine help needed for an animal on land, or at sea - they have to find better ways, as their tactics to the common person can be quite aggressive in full frontal or hidden ways. Sounds like they need new guidelines to adhere to? quote" describing transparency as a lack of hidden agendas or conditions, accompanied by the availability of full information required for collaboration, cooperation, and collective decision making.end of quote.
That is their problem that they are unable to involve themselves in collective decision making. That would be too hard to be involved in a process, it is easier to attack, and also skills would be needed to have cooperation, and if you can't be open minded, then there is little chance of being in the mainstream of society and it processes. n.b. as it has been said that the antis' do read this forum - I'm not being negative towards you, it's just most people I speak to for various reasons on the street, most of them think that the animal activists are just hard cases. Call them what you like the people on the street but honestly - there is a stigma with how a lot of the animal activists go about their business - people want things to be better but they find it hard to accept extremism. If other people have to change their established ways why do not other groups in opposition - don't have to look at themselves?
I have tried to click on the icons on the map and it doesn't work? What right do they have to create/publish such personal information without due diligence : Quote" Due diligence is the investigation or exercise of care that a reasonable business or person is expected to take before entering into an agreement or contract with another party, or an act with a certain standard of care. It can be a legal obligation, but the term will more commonly apply to voluntary investigations.end of quote".
p.s. I think I read that if requested they would take down all of the personal information on the map off. Well I have also read that legally the matter is being looked into further than the first instance. I just hope that someone has asked them to remove the info. and that it has been honoured by the spokesperson.

My farm is on their so called hitlist and a request has been made to remove it however these nutcases will need plenty of legal backing as Im prepared to sue anyone in that organisation if they impede or affect my rights to earn an income.If they are found trespassing a rude shock is waiting.They can go and get one up them.I am yet to see if they remove the information but legally Im ready.As Kevin Bloody Wilson sang DILLIGAF to them.

Hmmm There needs to be a list of Animal Activists locations It will be interesting to see what species of tree they reside in.

On Facebook I have seen footage of these activists that filmed themselves entering a property which they had done previously might I add Take animals that werent theirs and load them in their vehicles The police were there ....! And all the police did was ask where are you taking them ? The head honcho which was a women said they gaurenteed they were going to a better place and the police did nothing but step aside and watch them load the animals !
It was a disgrace

It really is beyond belief that this is going on in Australia in 2019. It is simply a witch hunt. If you click on the places listed you are encouraged to take pictures, videos etc.
This is only going to end one way and that is eventually someone being killed for trespassing or carrying out other forms of illegal activity on one of the targeted properties on the map.
Shame on all who have had anything to do with the creation of this map and shame on the government for not stepping in and getting rid of it.
Happy Australia Day

This is a direct link to the Greyhound establishments named. See if you're on the list or tell those that are ---> EXTERNAL LINK
It's time to hit back Tony & members with our own list of pictures that can be uploaded, maybe to this site of would-be offenders (or vehicles) that are caught red-handed on surveillance cameras, causing trouble (interfering with our way of life) or encouraging unnecessary acts that could or promote acts of violence.
As they state on their website, I too believe in the freedom of information as being a powerful tool....so the uploading of pictures of these possible offenders (and vehicles) could work as a deterrent if the offenders are exposed at more than one greyhound site.
It's time to fight fire with fire.
Here's a picture of a potential "Would-Be" that can be viewed on the above website. It was taken at "ABERNETHY", out the front of "Whitelaw Greyhound Education Centre". If you look carefully you'll notice this "Wood-Be" has left a clue in his own rear-vision-mirror. The car (s)he is driving is a Red AU Ford Falcon AU ---> EXTERNAL LINK
The car in question would look similar to this one pictured here ---> EXTERNAL LINK
So if you live in the Newcastle, Singleton, Cessnock, Maitland area, keep an eye out for it.

It won't hurt to make complaints, but this is my experience on this one.
In 2018, I sent requests along the following lines to the ACNC, and the relevant charity registration bodies in NSW & Victoria.
In the requests, I stated that a photograph, location, phone number, and email address of people who are conducting legal activities in a responsible manner were published. And that through publication of these details, these people are now the target of unlawful activities by volunteers & website users who are not so law-abiding.
Victoria advised that it would most likely not take action unless ACNC registration was withdrawn. NSW called and advised they would follow up, but that results would not be advised. Nothing from the ACNC.
These 'outcomes' were provided to the Australian Farmers Federation.
This incorporated association operates the website Aussie Farms Repository. It uses ABN 17 356 117 654, is an ACNC registered charity, and registered as a fundraiser in NSW (CF23231) and Victoria (FR-000014820).
The organisation's activities seem to meet the definition of a disqualifying purpose per S11 of the Charities Act 2013, in that it promotes unlawful activities. Of particular relevance is its stated intention to incite breaches of the law, as illustrated by the nature of its requests for volunteers on its website page https:www.aussiefarms.org.au/volunteer
The basis for its ACNC registration is at least questionable.
It would seem that the organisation's activities would also make it in breach of the NSW Charitable Fundraising Act 1991, and that the Minister should at least consider revocation of the fundraising authority.
Arguably, the website not only promotes engagement in unlawful activities by its volunteers, those activities border on terrorism.

In this article ... EXTERNAL LINK ... the activist is quoted ...
"Mr Warden, who describes himself as a "non-apologetic animal rights activist" said he was attempting to film male calves being "dragged from their forcibly impregnated grieving mothers" when the confrontation started"
'Forcibly impregnated' is the same line the Animal Justice Party member in NSW, Mark Pearson pushed in this video ... EXTERNAL LINK

Let's face it. Not everybody is going to see "Eye to eye", & there's nothing wrong with that.
But every now & then, somebody or a group are going to push the boundaries, simply because they have an agenda & a fcuking iPhone....like these d1ckh3@d$.
I hope that farm owner sues the ass off those idiots for trespassing, using their own vision.
Fair-dinkum....If you put those d!ck$ on the "FRONTLINE", they'd wet themselves.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHY I PUT MY NAME TO THE "Advance Australia" group.
We all don't have the time to voice our opinions publicly, but by joining this group, we have a voice...in NUMBERS.
I urge you all to join if you all believe in Australian values & what our forefathers fought for.
EXTERNAL LINK PS....I know advertising certain things on G-Data is prohibited, but IMO...I believe this site should be welcomed & aloud for members to make up their own mind.
