A Current Affair Exposes Minjungbal Land-Grab

Channel 9, A Current Affair -

"Pete Evans teams up with bankrupt to spruik commune-style development"

A Current Affair exposes the kingpins and celebrity promotor behind the Nightcap on Mingungbal development. 

Channel 9 also highlighted the Mingungbal Tribal Treaty claim:

... recording from 2016 suggests Brennock may look to progress projects by relying on an Aboriginal treaty. “Any court action, any jurisdiction, this treaty stops it. All-purpose, get-out-of-jail-free card," Mr Brennock said. 

It bears some resemblance to views expressed by the Original Sovereign Tribal Federation, a "sovereign citizen" organisation McMurtrie is affiliated with. The OSTF claims it travels Australia "explaining the legal argument we have developed against the crown's claim to have sovereignty over tribal lands.”

Nightcap promised to donate plots of land to local Aboriginal custodians.

In a letter to council, several elders have urged it to support the project as "more than $12 million worth of land and housing (would be) donated to our Tribe by the developers". 

A Current Affair does not discuss the false Mingungbal land claim, but warns that investors who provided purchase money for property have not received promised land-share entitlement, and many have lost life savings.

The report shows that despite knowledge of claims by angry creditors, celebrity chef Pete Evans likes the ethos, and says he's "Fkn IN!"
