Inpex signs deal to pay darwin aboriginal group millions in damages
Apex Corp. has signed an agreement with a Darwin aboriginal group that includes the payout of compensation from the Australian government, the company said today.
The settlement comes as Prime Minister Tony Abbott and a host of government agencies and businesses around the world are conducting hearings into the fate of an iconic symbol of New South Wales’s history.
In the settlement, Inpex and the Darwin Aboriginal Group agreed to pay $822,000 in court costs and $1.2 million in an out-of-court settlement with the federal department responsible for Aboriginal Affairs and Department of Indigenous and Northern Affairs.
The settlement covers what Mr Abbott and Mr Mansell called “a tragic chapter in Australian history”.
The빅카지노 settlement, reached between the companies and the aboriginal group, includes $80 million in cash and property, with an additional $50 million contingent upon completion of the settlement.
The Darwin Agreement will help avoid another costly court battle, Inpex said. It will “re-empower the Darwin people to become independent citizens, rather than being restricted to second-class status as people with fewer rights and benefits than other Australians, while the government’s role will decline as more Indigenous people lose access to jobs, housing, access to education and other aspects of success.”
Inpex has signed a long-term contract with the Darwin aboriginal group as it negotiates the full release of the settlement from its federal legal actions.
Inpex said it hopes the settlement will “not only enhance Inpex’s international reputation, but also ensure the Darwin Group has access to resources that have been traditionally not available 007카지노to other people”.
Darwin Aboriginal Group leader David Mansell said the settlement was “a step backwards for those who were harmed by the mining enterprise” in Darwin and would be missed by the other native groups that still were “struggling” to recl김천출장샵aim their histories.
A number of former Inpex employees were charged under federal laws on Tuesday over their role in the Darwin land grab, but none has been charged in the settlement to be announced today, Inpex said.
In a statement today, Inpex CEO Greg McVicar described the Darwin deal as the “largest compensation program in Australian history” but was careful not to link any of the companies in the settlement to Mr Abbott or other government-funded agencies.
“The settlement in the Darwin Accident Compensation Agreement will benefit all parties and we look forward to working wit
